HOW ANIMALS CLIMB.
sealy Tailed Squirrels, the sloths an
the MalaaasY Bats.

sealy Tailed Squirrels, the sloshs and
the Malasasy Bats.
How certain animals have in the
long course OF years adapted them
selves to tree climbing is described by
a writer In the Scientific American.
He says "a group of African rodents,
the scnly tailed squirrels, have devel-
oped on the under surface of the tail
certain structures which may be com.
pared to the climbing irons used by
workmen. These take the form Of a
few transverse rows Of large trian-
gular, horny scales. with their points
directed backward. These scales when
pressed against the bark of tree
must afford material aid ia climbing.
Another group Of animals IN which
climbing iroas' have been developed
Is that Of the scaly ant eaters. or pan
collins, of India and Asia, creatures
which look more like living fir cones
than mammals. The scales-much lar
ger than those OF the scaiy tailed squir-
rels-coyer both surfaces Of the body
as well as the head and limbs. so that
Il can scarcely be supposed they have
heeu developed for climbing Indeed,
only a few species climb. but these
have found the assistance afforded by
the scales on the under side Of yalae in
an ascent and habitually make use OF
them as climbing irons.
"Qulte a different type OF climbing.
or, rather hanging, apparatus has been
developed in the sioths of tropical
America, which spend their time In
the treetops. where they remain sus.
pended back downward BY their hook
like claws. These claws. which may
be three or two, have been modified
from ordinary claws and afford q strIk-
Ing instance OF adaptation - an alb
normal mode Of life. The thumb OF
bats is likewise modified into a hook
like claw, also used for suspending
purposes when the creatures hang
head upward Generally. however.
bats suspend themselves head down
ward by tile hind claws. grasping pow
er being retained by the toes, so thar
the modification has not been carried
to the same extent as IN sloths, in
which the claws act ia a mechanical
manner
Certain bats appear to have found
their hooklike thurts and hind feet
insufficient for suspension nnd have
made use OF the sucker principle for
this purpose. This mole OF suspension
has been developed independently Ia
two distinct bats, one native Of Bra
III and the other OF Madagascar. In
the Brazilian species the suckers take
the form OF staiked disks attached 70
the palms Of the thumbs aud the soles
Of the feet The suckers OF tile Mala.
gasg species are horseshoe-like. by
means Of the suckers these bats are
able TO ascend vertical surfaces"

The FQnlOUS ByTne
SiTHDIiIiGd Shorthand

This system OF shorthand was first
copyrighted in 1897, by Henry Ed
ward Byrne. II has. during the short
space OF ten years, found its way in
TO almost every English speaking
country on the globe. II is taught in
many OF Americas leading conn. err
cial colleges. and used by many o.
Americas most noted reporters. The
system is founded on entirely new
principles never before used in the
art Of shorthand writing, which enab-
led its author to prodrce a sys-
TEN that can be learned in less than
one half the time OF any other sys-
TEN, written with much higher rate
OF speed. and read with greater ac,
curacy. AS many expert writer's of
other systems have said, after tho
roughly examining 1t and testing Il,
"it Is the marvel of the stsnographic
age" Many large business concerns
prefer writer's of the Byrne Simpli-
fed from the fact the Byrne writer's
can take dictatioh Just as fast as they
are a-mind to give 1t TO them, and
read it back accurately at a high
rate OF speed, a thing seldom done
with other systems
The Capital City Business College
OF Guthries Okla. has the exclusive
right to teach this most popular sys.
( tenn IN this section. Those who desire
70 become exper. stenographers in
almost half the time and half the ex-
ptnse they could learn one OF the
other systems in another school
