TRICKS OF ANIMALS.



Instances of Where Deceit Takes tn.
Place of Courage.
There are n surprising number OF
Quaker animals-animals whose regu
lar method of self protection is to offel
no resistance to their enemies.
The possum's, trick of ..shammint
dead" is an old story. A writer in tn,
London Spectator cites several othel
cases of combined cunning and meek
ness. The hedgehog, the porcupine
the Australian ecliidnas and some OF
the armadillos refuse to tight, but they
are protected by sharp spires or ar
NOR. Some of the arnladillos are grea,
diggers and take refuge in holes, while
porcupincs often hide in hollow logs OF
trees
Among marine animals is n starflsh
often called the brittle star" which
is the despair of collectors. 1t seems
to make it point of pride that mono
of its family shall be shown in bot.
tic or on museum shelf. When tax.
on from the water this starfsh throws
off its legs and also its stomachs. The
story is told of one collector who
thought that he had succeeded in coax.
ing specimen into pail, only to sec
it dismember itself at the last mo-
ment.
w. II. Hudson describes the death
feigning habits of n small South Afri-
can fox common on the pampas. If
caught in a trap or overtnkcn, it col
lapses as if dead and to all appear
ances is dead. THE deception is so
well carried out that dogs are constant
ly taken in by it. When one withdraws
little way from feigning fox and
watches him very attcntively slight
opening of the eye may be detected.
Finally, when left TO himself, he does
not recover and start up like an animal
that has been stunned. but slowly and
cautiously raises his head first and only
gets up when his foes are ut Il distance.
was once riding With gaucho when
we saw on the open level ground in
front of us fox not yet fully grown
standing still and watching our ap-
proach. All at once 1t dropped, and
when we came up to the spot it was
lying stretched out, with eyes closed
and apparently dead. Before passing
on my companion, who said it was not
the first time that he had seen such a
thing, dashed it vigorously with his
whip for some moments without pro-
ducing the slightest effect"
Dogs show much the same tendency
when they lie down meelily, with their
heads down and tails tucked in, and in
yite beating. Puppies are Just MS
good at this as. hardened veterans.
Some kinds of beetles, many of the
woolly caterpillars which have poison
GUS hairs on their backs and numerous
spiders adopt similar tactics Even the
weed louise has the same trick and rolls
Itself into ball
In the whole animal kingdom if any
thing runs away there is always found
something to run after it. The badger,
which defends itself wickedly when at
tucked, is often used for batting.
Perhaps the commoncst instance of
passive resistance is the land tortoise,
which draws up Its front piece and
pulls in its head and legs and dcfles Its
foes by locking them out
