Uonstelv large F The tails of the sntdrrelx are henaul

and long and flat, not short and small like those of gophers, chipmunks, wea. sets, and other ground rodent, and when they lesp or fall through the air the tall is arched and rapidly vibrates. A squirrel's tail, therefore, is something more than ornament, something more than a flag; it not only aids him in flying, but it serves as a cloak, which he wraps about him when he sleeps. Thus pome animals put their tails to various uses, while others seem to have no use for them whatever. What use for a tail has a wrmt chut-k, or a weasel, or a mouse? Um not the mouse ret learned

that it could get in its hole sooner if it had no toil? The mole and the mead-ow-moase hare very short tails. Kats, no doubt, put their toils to various uses. The rabbit has no use for a tail it would be in its why; while its manner of sleeping is such that it does not need a tail to tuck itself uo with, as do the 'coon and ths fox.
