I've seen Timmy the Flying Squirrel lately spoke up Jumper the Hare in reply to a question by Old Mother Ma ture. T saw him just at dusk last even ing. My, I wish l could fly the way he cam
 Old Mother Nature shook her head what is wrong with your eyes? When did you ever see Timmy fly?'
 Last night insisted Jumper stub hornly
 "Oh, no. you didn't" retorted Old Mother Nature. "You never have seen him fly and you never will, and for the very good reason that he cannot fly any more than you can. You saw him jump. That was all. Just remember that the only animals in all this great land that can fly are the bats. Timmy the Fly
 ing Squirrel simply jumps from one tree to another. If you had used your eyes you would have noticed that when he is In the air he never moves his legs and arms, and Is always coming down save for a little upward shoot at the end of his jump as to land flat against the trunk of a tree. What he does it to jump from high up in one tree and slide down on the air to the lcwer part of another tree He hasn't any wings''
 When he is flying, I mean jumping, AOStNS Jumper.
 That is simply because I have given him a fold of skin between the front and hind leg each side" explained Old Mother Nature. When he jumps he stretches his legs out flat and that stretches those two folds of skin until they look almost like wings. They sup- port him in the air. and this is the req son he can jump so far His tail helps him keep his balance and to steer him self around anything in the way" 'But why don't we ever him hlm?" in- qured Striped Chipmunk. Because when the rest of you Squlr- rels are out and about he is fast asleep, | and when he is out and about you are fast asleep. Timmy likes the dark and

 How big is he?" asked Happy i Jack, and looked as if he felt wee bit ashamed that he knew so little of one l of his own cousins.
 Very near the size of Striped Chip munk," replied old Mother Nature.
 Way out in the Far West he grows just little bigger His coat is won derfully soft, yellowish-brown above 1 and white beneath. He has very large, dark, soft eyes, especially suit for seeing at night. Just at dusk he be- comes very lively and dearly loves to romp and play. By nature he is gentle and lovable.
 Docs he eat nuts?' asked Peter Rab- l bit
