1IaIs may have puzzled many Of frour
readers To tell how muskrats. beavers,
aad other animals, are able to stay so
long under water. apparently swithnui
hrealhing, especially in winter Tbs.
way they manage is, they take in good
-brssth ~ starting, and then remain un
der water as long as possible Then
they Tise upsto ne ice and breathe ou'
The sif b their lungs. which remains IN
. hphbe against lhe lover part of Che
eice The wster near the ice is highly
charged with oxygen, which it readily
imparts to the air breathed out After
o time, this air is taken back in the lungs,
and the animal again goes under the
eaief, rspeaiing This ptocess from time
to time In this way, hey can travel
slmost any distance, and live almost any
length Of time under the ice The hun
