Jnpanese waltxing Mice.

Among the many animals whicn are
adopted as pets there are numerous
odd and peculiar creatures. But GER
tainly one Of the oldest Is the Japanese
waltHing mouse. Mice have been
brought under cultivation and nave
been so altered in appearance by the
fancier that their original wild rcla-
tives would fail to know them. Yet
the fancy mouse, with his wonderful
markings, is a very ordinary creature
compared with this waltzing member
OF the family.
1t In no doubt true that many a tale
hangs by the tail of many an animal.
The waltzing mouse probably has this
In view, as his main object In life
appears to be to catch and investigate
his own tail, the contortions and gyrss
tons in which he INDUCES during the
process being decidedly unique. The
mice sometimes perform In pairs, but
they are different to ordinary dances
In that they waltz head 70 tail, turn
ing so quickly that 1t Is difficult to tell
where one begins and the other ends.
The faculty OF Waiting Is hereditary,
for the young mice OF this variety
evince a tendency to spin as soon as
they are old enough TO move about.
There are no special markings In the
Waiting mice, though they can be
obtained in several different colors.
