Naturalist Picks Beaver
From Among A Others as
Most intelligent Animal

We read much about animal sagac.
ity and there is a common query
(which is the most intelligent ami
mal?" This query, writes Raymond
L. Ditmars in Boys Life, most fire.
quently relates to the results In train,
ing animals to do surprising things
or to do the "smart'' things that
many captive animals do. Association
with the human and the artificial con-
ditions of captivity bring forth many
surprising traits in animals, but such
have little to do with this story. When
the writer is asked which he considers
the most intelligent animal he has no
hesitation in answering, although the
subject designated may cause much
surprise.
Despite the adoption of the horse
and the elephant to domestic use, the
docility and affection of the dog, the
marvellous feats accomplished by
trained sea lions and other marked
demonstrations of intelligence among
the larger animals, the writer is un-
wavering in his decision, and this
comes after years of observation and
deduction. He picks the beaver as
the star Of animal sagacity. And the
choice comes from an order of NAM
mails not usually credited with high
degree Of intelligence. This is the
order Of rodents, or gnawlng animals.
1t contains an immense number of spe-
cies, the greater number Of small size
and scattered over all parts of the
world. To this order belongs the
rats and mice, the squirrel, pOrcupine.
rabbit and marmots. The prairie "dog"
is a member Of this order and a
fair rival of the beaver in solving
problems u Ingenious construction.
All the rodents are characteristic in
having strangely developed inclsor
teeth-those Immediately at the front
of both the upper and lower jaw.
These teeth, proportionately larger
and longer than with other animals,
are continually growing and their
edges meet In a fashion to become
much sharpened during constant use
like double set Of rapidly moving
chisels. Thus the rat gnaws holes
through wood and plaster the squirrel
gnaws through the shells of the hard
est nuts and the pOrcupine-much to
the chagrin of the camper-chisels out
a generous hole in ones camera In
solving the nature Of the interior.
