Explains Why Rats GnaW.

Some years ago German scientist
began to study rats and mice. with
the object of ascertaining why they
are SO fond of enaWing wood and in
deed almost anything cn which their
teeth can be employed, and news now
comes that his patient researches
have at last been crowned with sue
cess. He says that these animals, and
especially rats, have teeth which
grow longer every year and keep
growing longer during their entire life,
and that the object of the animals in
gnawins is to keep them at proper
length, as otherwise it would be i'm
possible for them to grasp or chew
any food
