Mr.. Millais tells how rabbits swim
when compelled to: "They swim with
the head held as high as possible, while
the hooks of the hind legs appear above
he element at each stroke The shoul-
ders and front part of the body are
buried beneath the water, while the
rump and tail are high and dry"
Natural enemies Of the animal world
are sometimes found living together in
extraordinary communities. The same
writer quotes this experience of an OBJ
server: "On one occasion when ferret
Ing l bolted fox, a cat, a stoat and
several rabbits and rats out of the
same earth. The fox bolted first, after
giving the ferret a nip across the back,
from the effects of which it died an
hour later. Next came the stoat and
then the cat, both Of which shot. Then
followed the rabbits and rats promis-
cuously. 1t was a large burrow on
the bank of deep dry watercourse,
and often held a fox when 1 ferreted
1t afterward."
Interesting figures on the relative
agility of hares and rabbits are given
In recent volume by ]. G. Millais.
when running at ease,' he says, "ths
length of the hare's stride is about
four feet; but under conditions of fear
Its leaps extend to ten and twelve feet,
while some authors claim that it can
jump ten bitches twenty to twenty five
feet In width. Perpendicularly a hare
can jump on to a five-foot wall, but
seems to be nonplused by one of about
six feet. The stride of the rabbit is
about two feet; when necessary it can
make leaps of six or seven fet hori-
zontally. About three feet is the high
est that rabbit can attain to even
when helped by the asperities of

Aunt Hepsy wrinkled her forehead,

The general laugh that followed this

as small as motor car can be made,
there being seating capaicty for only
one passenger. There is also a total
absence of complicated steering ap-
paratus. The operating motor Is placed
Immediately in front of the rider. One
lever is sufficient to regulate the speed
and is placed in close proximity to
the seat. Probably the most peculiar
feature Is the method of steering. This
is done by means Of the feet, very
much like young boy would steer his
express wagon. The hands are at all
times free, the rider being able to en-
joy a smoke with pleasure. Other
peculiar features are the size of the
wheels and the height of the frame
above the ground.
