ANIMAL
The Squirrel Is Very Swift and the
Rabbit In Oddly Awkward.

Almost all animals know how to
swim without having to learn it. AS
500 as they fall into the water or are
driven into 1t they instinctively make
the proper motions and not only man
age to keep atloat, but propel them
selves without trouble.
Exceptions are the monkey, the cam
ell, giraffe and llama, which cannot
swim without assistance. Camels and
llamas have to be helped across water.
and CRATES and monkeys drown il
they enter it. Now and then both Of
the latter species manage to cross wa
terways when they are driven to eX.
tremities. just as human beings occa-
sionally can keep themselves above wa
ter through sheer fright.
A funny though able swimmer is the
rabbit. He submerges his body with
the exception of head and tail. The
latter sticks away up into the air, and
his hind legs make soap suds" as he
churns the water madly to get away.
But with all his awkwardness he is a
swift swimmer and is only beaten by
the squirrel among the land animals.
The squirrel swims with his heavy
tail sunk away down in the water and
his head held high. He cleaves the
waves like a duck, and a man in a row
boat has all he can do to keep abreast
of the swimming squirrel.
One thing that none of the land living
animals does is to dive. No matter how
hard pressed a swimming deer, rabbit
squirrel or other purely terrestrial ami
NAL may be it will remain above wa
ter. But the muskrat, beaver, ice bear
and otter dive Immediately.

Some remarkable attractions will be
pulled off at Fargo on the occasion of
the street carnival next week. The
Forum pictures one Of them in "Mdlle.
Celeste and the Electric Fountain"
George Phelps found her among the
lily pads in the Red River near the
Moorhead bridge and led her up to
town with a rope Of twisted water
lilies. AS tire Forum pictures the
lady she stands beneath the dripping
water in what resembles a triple
crowned fountain. Her hair is blow
ing ~carelessly in the breeze and her
clothes resemble a shrunken bathing
suit. One hand is plunged into the
rays of the rising sun, which hangs
lear enough TO threaten freckles. All
around she is flanked with little flow
Ell pots, and her press notices assure
us that she holds large audiences
spell bound. If the picture is accu-
rate, Mdlle ought to hold 'em for a
while.

PLANT EVOLUTION.


There are few more wrongly named
things in the world than the Jerusa-
lem artichoke. In the first place it new
or JuIic from Jerusalem al all. And in
the second it is not really an artichokc,
but a sunfiower with its tubers devel-
Oped by cultivation.
Cultivation has done wonders for
fruit and vegetables.
For instance, through its means
peaches. apricots and nectarines have
been developed from the almond. to
which family all three fruits belong.
There is little apparent connection be-
tween the wild crab of the hedgerows
and a Newtown pippin, but both are
members of the same genus. Indeed,
1t is from this same wild c%rabapple
that the whole of the 100 odd existing
varieties of apples have been raised.
Technically speaking. too, the pear
is an apple. and so are the mcdlar and
the mountain ash, which latter is not
an ash at all.
Is IL turnip Il cabbage? Yes, one va
riety at least Of it is. This Is the quce
vegetable known as kohirabi, which,
although classed by scientists among
the Brassica. or cabbage. family, has
huge roots just like a turnip.
The cucumber Is really a fruit and
not a vegetable. The same remark ap.
plies to the tomato, which is really a
| fruit also.
The gooseberry is a currant. 1t IL not
the least like 1t in either appearance or
favor. yet both belong to the same
| family of Ribes.
The onion IL n charming little flower,
its various species bearing white. yell
low. blue and rose colored blossoms,
many produced in beautiful dropping
clusters. Originally the onion was n
Towering plant, but the cultivation of
certain o! its varieties has produced the
now world famous vegetable.
