The Mole.

Men are often blamed for misiudging
one another; but we deserve no less
blame perhaps in our judgment of ami
mails. Men shot birds for taking fruit.
until they found that the birds devoured
worse enemies to the fruit than themselves
The mole has been hunted and killed
from the idea that it ate the roots of plants.
The fact is he never eats roots at all
A naturalist has calculated that mole de-
YOURS annually twenty Thousand grubs
But the animal on which it declares war
most savagely of all is the earth worm.
1t is so voracious that it must lat every
six hours. No animal is so favored in its
carniverous instincts as the mole; forty
four teeth. studded with points, never
cease working from morning to night. 1t
requires nourishment to such an extent
that if deprived OF food for day it dies of
hamilton. 1t is a complete eating ma
chine. gulping down every day proper
tionately enormous quantity of food. so
that NJ. de la Blanchere was right in saw
ing that if we could magnify the mole to
the size of the elephant. we should be face
TO face with the most terrific brute the
world ever brought forth. Had the fact
not been attested by savant like Z. Geof-
frey aint-Hiliare, no one would believe
that the mole. an underground animal
par excellence. though buried beneath the
soil. nevertheless catches birds in order to
devour them. The crafty animal exc
cutes this kind of fowling by moving its
muzzle slightly on the surface of its mole
hill. The bird thinks it is little worm
stirring. and swoops down to seize it. but
finds only the hungry gullet of the earth
digger. which engulfs it in an instant. In
Switzerland. NJ. Weber experimental up
on two moles. In nine days they had
eaten 34l white worms, 1913 earth worms,
% caterpillars and mouse. both the
bones and skin of which they swallowed.
When he restricted them to vegetable
diet. they died of hunger. This insect
eater is therefore one Of our best friends.
In some vineyards devastated by grubs
men buy mcles in order to conslgn to
them the destruction of these redoubtable
enemies.
