The Mole Has Ewes.

The majority of people believe
that the mole is even binder" than
the proverbial bat, but the natural
lists know that such is not the case.
Sir John Lubbock and Carl Hess, the
latter noted German naturalist, by
careful investigation proved that the
mole has eyes which are as perfect
as those of horse or an elephant.
They are very small optics, to be
sure (only one millimeter in dame
teri, but in the matter of reflection
and refraction do not differ from the

ment by homesteaders, an act which
has been credited with doing more
than any other one thing for the de-
