ANIMALS WANDERlNGS.
Rats the Most MISUNDERSTANDING
Race with Death.

The fable of the country mouse and
he town M has Il foundation in
fact. Mice occasionally migrate in
large numbers when food grows scarce
and travel considerable distances to
fresh houses. Farmers in Il part of
Perthshire had a good reason to be.
come aware of this fact when Il couple
Of years < vast swurms of mice in
vaded their corntields at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when Ii
has to. The rat. on the contrary, seems
to take "a yearly outing in very much
the same fashion as do human beings.
Rats are the most migratory creatures
In the world. Whole troops of rats
leave the towns at the end of summer
and spend II month or two In the coun-
try, apparently in order to enjoy the
change of food. which the county af.
fords at that time of the yea in the
way of fresh fruit and grain. Before
the cold weather sets in they are ali
back in their old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same Z
larity as swallows. They move south
when winter sets in, but as soon us
ever the SNOW begins 10 melt they
travel steadily north, sometimes for as
much as u thousand miles.
To end II holiday by deliberate sui
eide is so strange a phenomenon that
for u long time naturalists looked upon
the stories of the migration of the lem
mings as an improbable fiction. Yet
the facts are beyond dispute. At ir-
regular intervals these rat-like crea-
lures start out from their homes in the
Businesses of northern Scandinavia in
huge droves, numbering tens of thou
sands, and travel steadily southwark.
Death pursues them In a hundred
forms. Hawks and other birds Of prey
hover above them. Foxes, wolves and
man decimate them. Thousands are
drowned in rivers. Yet the rest strug-
gle on until they reach the sea. They
do not stop. They plunge in, swim out
and struggle on until at last their
strength fails and they drown. Not
II ever returns from this journey of
death.-London Answers.
