Under the Ice.
now CERTAIN ANIMALS LIVE IN THE
WINTER.

Our readers know there are two kinds
of respiratory apparatus-lungs which
inllale air, abstract oxygen from it and
give, in return, chiefly carbonic acid
and gills which absorb the oxygen dis
solved in water, and also give off chief
" carbonic acid, which is more readily
dissolved in water than the oxygen
The apparatus is possessed by nam.
mails, birds, etc; the latter, by fishes;
and as lungs are incapable of taking
oxygen ont OF water, and gills cannot
take it from the air, or, in other words,
as lungs cannot breathe water, and
gills cannot breathe air, animals with
lungs are drowned in water, while fish
are drowned in the air. A small num-
her of amphibious ANIMALS, however,
possess both lungs, and can therefore
breathe either air or water, and thus
live in both. 1t las been, however,
observed that musk rat. and other
swimming mammals with lungs conld
travel considerable distance under ice
without reaching any breathing hole
on the surface, and it was for long
time a problem how they succeeded III
living so long and travelling so tar with
out access to the atmosphere. The
: problem has been answered by ). New
house, in n work called the Trappers
Guide, from which we extract the FOL
lowing:
