Animals WandcrtuR "a,

The fable OF the country mouse and
the town mouse has a foundation in
fact, says London Answers. Mice oc-
casionally migrate in large numbers
when food grows scarce, and travel
considerable distances to fresh houses.
Farmers in part of Perthshire had a
good reason to become aware of this
fact when, a couple Of years ago, vast
swarms Of mice invaded their corn
fields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when It
has to. The rat, on the contrary,
seems to take yearly outing in very
much the same fashion as do human
beings Rats are the most migratory
creatures in the world. Whole troops
summer and spend month or two in
the country, apparently in order to en-
Joy the change Of food which the
country affords at that time Of the
year in the way of fresh fruit and
grain. Before the cold weather sets
