A Tall Tiger Story.

In speaking of the minute parasites that are found in the hairy part of a tiger’s foot, a scientist says: “They constitute one of the most wonderful curiosities I know of in the animal world. The parasites are so small as to be almost invisible to the naked eye. and yet, each is a perfect counterpart of the tiger—head, ears, jaw, legs, claws, body, tail—all are there. You may think this a big story, but look the subject up and see if it is not so.”
