The team at the close of the season Is

1t is entirely probable that descriptions

BURROWING ANIMALS.
Some of Them Dig Holes Merely as
n Form of Amusement.

SOhe Oh Inem DlS hOieS merely as
Form of Amusement.
London Spectator.
Ventilation, or rather the want of It,
must be a difficulty in the underground
life of almost all mammals. The rabbit
and the rat secure current of air by
forming a bolt hole in connection with
their system of passages, but the fox.
the badger and many of the field voles
and mice seem Indifferent to any such
precaution. There Is no doubt that
whatever gave the first impulse to bur-
row, many animals look upon this to us
most unpleasant exertion as a form of
actual amusement. 1t also confers
right to property.
Prairie dogs constantly set to work to
dig holes merely for the love of the
thing. If they cannot have suitable
place to exercise their talent In they will
gnaw into boxes or chests or drawers
and their burrow, to the great detriment
of the clothes therein contained. In an
inclosed prairie dog town" they have
been known to mine until the superin-
cumbent earth collapsed and buried
the greater number. A young prairie
dog let loose in small gravel-fioored
house instantly dug a hole large enough
to sit in. turned round in 1t, and bit the
first persons who attempted to touch him.
property gave IlIil COURAGE, lOT before
he had been as meek as a mouse.
1t is noticeable that the two weakest
and least numerous of our mice, the DOR
mouse and the harvest mouse, do not
burrow, but make nests, and that these
do not multiply or maintain their num-
bers like the burrowing mice and voles
But the fact that there are members
of very closely allied species, some of
which do burrow, while others do not,
seems to indicate that the habit is an ac-
quired one
In this connection it is worth noting
that many animals which do not burrow
at other times form burrows in which
to conceal and protect their young. or,
if they do burrow, make a different kind,
of a more elaborate character Among
these nursery burrows are those of the
dog. the fox, and sand martin, the king
fisher and the sheldrake. FoXhound
litters never do so well as when the
mother is allowed to make burrow
on the sunny side of a straw stack. In
time she will work this five or six feet
into the stack and keep the puppies at
the far end. while she lies at the en-
trance Vixens either dig or appropriate
a clean burrow for their cubs, which IL
a natural habit, or. at any rate. one ac-
quired previously to the use Of earth by
adult foxes.

ODDLY NAMED STREETS.
Mexico City Surpasses All Other
Places In Queer NOmenclatures.

Places In Queer NOmenclatures.
Modern Mexico.
The street names in Mexico City are
somewhat really appalling to the new
conner. Some years ago the streets OF
the city were renamed systematically,
with numerical avenues running east and
west, and streets north and south, but
although the new names are prominently
posted on all the corner houses, they
are never used except III oft:lsl Gocu-
nents. Every one uses the old names.
Many of these are place names, or streets
ara named for some occurrence or tradi-
ton, or for the character of the trades
that formerly predominated in them. The
number of names is infinitely multiplied
because each block Is regarded as street
anG has a separate name. When the
name of street continues the same
through more than one block the various
squares are designated as first second,
third, etc.
Many Of these street names seem very
odd to foreigners. Those named for the
Deity and religious personages are nu-
merous. For instance, there are the Heart
of Jesus street and the street Of the
Holy Ghost; Ave Maria street and ave-
nue. Of the Love of God. Others are the
street of the Saint Of the True Cross,
the arches of Bethlehem, and the GravRs
Of Saint Sunday street; the bridge of St.
Peter and st. Paul. and the street of the
Crosses of Sorrow. Not only are the
names of streets unusual, but they are
often found in the most homogeneous loca-
tons. For instance, If you walk down
Jesus street, and continue in the second
block, you will be startled to find that
you are then on the street Of the New
Slaughter House. The alley Of the Egg
and Potato street are just as likely to be
the prolongation Of the back Of st. Teresa
street as any other. The street Of the
Seven Princes may no longer be inhabit-
ed by royalty, but the avenue Of Illus
trious Men was named for real persons.
The street Of the Lost Child derives Its
name from a popular tradition, but the
