hayior Of the beaver when an extra
ordinary situation arises. Surprising
very rainy season to occur and
there be danger OF the structure
being swept away by food the beaver
grasps the fact at once and opens q
sluice for the escape of the surplus
water.
AS long as food Is plentiful the
dams are alloweo to remain. and 30
1t Is that sNch immense dams are
found, some over two thousand feet
In length, with height OF from
two to fourteen feet, the result OF
countless generations OF beavers.
They may not have worked con-
tinuously, however, for dam Is de-
serted temporarily IL the food falls
short, and returned to when the trees
have had time to recover. In many
cases the main dam Is supported by
others placed further down the
stream
Toward the end OF Summer the
beavers begin work on the lodge,
choosing by preference as a site an
alder-coyered knoll which the rising
waters OF their pond has made an
island. Twigs are cut from the trees
and dead sticks collected from the
water, and among the network OF
sticks they place great quantities Of
fibGous mud and sod, torn from the
bottom OF the stream.

mud packed well among the wood
work. and the roots hold 1t together
and help to prevent cracking. All
this work is done with their hands,
the clumns of sod being carried in
their arms against the chin, and
forced into position with the hands
and nose.
But. in spite OF all their inteli-
gence. the beavers are having a hard
struggle for existence. They are so
eagerly sought by trappers and they
have so many enemies among the
other four-footed creatures that In
America they are threatened with
speedy extinction.
