Dash laughed.
"Hot Scotch? Where is it," said he.
''Why, here, of course said the

"Er-I-" Dash stammered, and

Ancestors Of Present Foxes,

X. Toldt of Vienna, has produced
what he and others regard as virtually
conclusive evidence that foxes are de-
scended from ancestors whose bodies
were clothed with horny scales, like
those of the pangolins. or sca1y ant
eaters. This evidence Is based upon
the examination of the skins of young
foxes, and depends not only upon the
arrangement of the hairs, but upon the
fact that the skin itself exhibits a
structure such as would be shown by
that Of a pangolin after the removal
of the scales.
