The Camel outdone.

TIuch has been said of the cancels
ability to abstain for long periods
from the drinking of water, but there
are other animals capable of even
greater abstinence in this respect.
Indeed. it may be said, that in COM
parison with them 'the ship of the
desert" Is a heavy drinker.
For instance, there are sheep in
the southwestern deserts of our
country that go from forty to sixty
days in winter without drink. grazing
an the green. succulent vegetation Of
those regions. Peccaries in the
desert of Sonora live in little dry
hills, where there is no natural water
for long periods. They cannot pos
sibly find water, in fact, for months
at a time. The only moisture they
can obtain comes from roots and the
fruits of cacti.
The most extraordinary instance,
however, is that of the pocket mouse,
one Of the common rodents of the
desert. This little creature has a
genuine fur-lined pocket" on the
outside of its cheek. When it is
hungry 1t takes food from this pocket
with its paw. much in the manner
that human being would take a
sandwich from his pocket. One OF
these mice has been kept for three
years with no other food than the
mixed bird seed of commerce. During
this period it had not a taste Of either
water or green food. Naturalists have
found that in captivity these mice
frequently refuse even such treats as
these, not seeming to know that
water is good to drink. The bird seed
put before certain Of these mics con-
tanned not more than 10 per cent of
moisture, which is less than is neces-
sary for digestion. Seed as dry as
this cannot even be swallowed until
1t is moistened by saliva. Yet these
remarkable mice gave nothing but
their time to the interests of science.
They suffered nothing in health or
spirits during their captivity.
