Like its distant cousin, the we'll

low has a keen appreciation OF the
value of an adequate water supply.
When selecting a home site which
may last for many years, the queS-
ton of fresh water is uppermost in
the mind of the homesteader. The
favorite place is a bank where the
drainage problem can be handled.
In this bank is established the fam
lily residence. The tunnel leading
to it is short and simple. These
nest chambers are large enough to
accommodate the residents with
no room to spare. The walls of the
room are worn smooth from the con-
slant rubbing and the floor Is
packed and smooth as asphalt.
Railways or tunnels from this
dwelling connect with many Others
for there is complicated under
ground network of them. There
are several exits which are used for
drainage, ventilation, dumps and
emergency escapes. Many mountain
beavers use these tunnels.
The most beaverlike trait is the
controlling of the water for their
needs. Shall streams flow gently
through some of the subways.
There is no attempt to divert the
water for selfish personal reasons.

on the ticklish spots with his own
fingers.
The learned Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association says,
Most people have what is known
as a deep tickling reflex, which is
brought about by peripheral stimu-
Ii not self-induced and results in
laughter. 1t is elected by stimula-
ton of the end organs of certain
large tendons or aponeuroses, or of
the periosteum of certain bones,
especially the ribs. The areas in
which such pressure produces
laughter are the lateral walls of
the thorax. axillae. abdomen and
lilac fossae."
Laughter seems to be the real
crux of the matter because it tempo
rarily diminishes the tonus of all
the voluntary muscles. You do not
become ticklish unless you laugh.
Psychologists have explained that
the reason laughter does not occur
when the stimulation is self-induced
is due to the fact that the individual
is not prepared to laugh. Which
amounts, | suppose, to saying in
non-technical language, that some
people are ticklish and some people
are not.
