NO WATER FoRrHRsE ANIMALS


Deer AnteIepe ana Coyotes who Live I'm
Americas Desert Places.
Students Of natural history have
always been puzzled to know whether
certain animals can live without water
for a long time, says the New York
World. In Central and Southern New
Mexico there is an immense desert
to which the earliest Spanish adventur-
ers gave the name tornado del Muerta.
or Journey to Death This desert is
over 100 miles long and from thirty to
seventy miles wide and is entirely
waterless. This is known to be a fact as
every mile of it has been traversed in
the past twenty years. The nearest
permanent water to this desert is the
Rio Grande, from which it is separated
by the lofty range known as the Ca
vallos mountains, which are almost
impossible to man or beast Previous
to 1880 this desert was inhabited by
vast herds of antelope. There are
some antelope there now, besides
coyotes and other animals. From Nav
to September is the rainy season in
this region, and the moisture derived
from the scanty herbage might be suf-
fcient to sustain life, but during the
other eight months there isn't a drop
Of water obtainable. and the vegeta-
ton is as dry as finder. 1t is claimed
that many wild animals feed in the
early morning and thereby obtain
an abundance of moisture from the
dew which covers the vegetation. but
in the elevated region of Tornado there
is no sensible precipitation of dew in
the dry season.
The most desolate territory in North
America, south of Labrador, is the
peninsula of Lower California. Cape
San Lucas is the extreme southern
point, and about ten miles north of
this a spur of mountains runs from
west to east, or from the Pacific to the
gulf of Lower California. forming as it
We're. a basin toward the cape. This
basin is mostly covered with a dense
growth of dwarf trees, growing lux
uriantly OutOf the dazzling white sand
Not particle of surface water is to be
found anywhere in this basin, and,
strange as ir may seem, this place has
deer The Me1icans living here. when
asked where the deer get water. reply
that there is none and the deer do not
require any. The east AMI west coasts
of Lower California abound in islands,
some of which are . few hsndred Yards
in diameter and others miles in extent,
and with few exceptions void Of vege-
tation and utterly waterless. IN
American who has spent day, and
sometimes two days, on each of these
islands, reports having found there the
coyote, or wild dog. The only water
the thirsty coyote may drink is the salt
water of the Pacific. But does he
drink it, or does he get along without
any drinking water at all? Or are
these animals of the Southwest ike the
camel. which has a second stomach
which is used as a reservoir for water,
and is filed by the camel before going
on long desert journeys and drawn
upon for water when needed 1t is
said that Arabs, knowing this, when
themselves suffering from thirst, slay
their camels and appropriate their
water supply.
