Creatures Of the Desert Exist Tor

But other creatures than the camel
are able to get along for extended
periods without drinking. Sheep In

ton OF that season. Peccaries In the
desert Of Sonora live in little dry hills
where there is no natural water, Tor
long periods. They cannot possibly
find water, In fact for months at q
time. The only moisture they can
obtain comes from roots and the fruits
OF cach.
But the most extraordinary case Is
that Of the pocket mouse, one OF tho
common rodents of the desert. This
little creature, by the way, has . gem
uine fur-lined pocket" on the outside
OF his cheek. When it Is hungry 1t
takes food from this pocket with its
paw, Just as a man would pull ham
sandwich from hls pocket.
One of these mice has been kept for
three years with no other food than
the mixed birdseed Of commerce. Dur
ing this period 1t had not a taste OF
either water or green food. Other ex-
periments have found, in fact, that
these mice in captivity refuse such
, treats, not seeming to know thas
'WatefSis good to drink. The hirdseed
put before this mouse contained not
more than 10 per cent. Of moisture
which is less than IL necessary for
digestion. STUFF SO dry as this can
not even be swallowed until It Is mois-
tened by saliva. Yet this remarkable
mouse gave nothing but his time to
the interests OF science. He suffered
nothing in health or spirits during
his captivity. The absolutely abb
stemious age' Of which Edward Lear
wrote is completely outclassed.

of Yale football will realize that this
very fact demonstrates the great
