How the Cavern Rat Finds Its Way.

How the Cavern Rat Finds Its Way.
The cavern rat, found in the Nam
moth Cave Of Kentucky, is of a soft
blush color, with white neck and feet.
It has enormous eyes, black as night,
but quite unprovlded with irises.
These eyes are perfectly insensible
to light, and when the experiment has
been made of catching a cavern rat
and turning it loose in the bright sun
light it plumbers about, striking itself
against everything, is unable to pro-
vide itself with food and finally falls
down and dies.
In its native depths. however. it is
able to lead a comfortable enough ex.
~istence. as it's enormously long whisk-
efs are so extremely sensitive that
they enable it to find its way rapidly
through the darkness. The principal
food OF the cavern rat consists of a
kind of large cricket, Of a pale yellow
color. and which, like most cave dwell
ers, is perfectly blind.-Tit-Bits.
