When Animals Are Removed.

When animals or plants are removed from their peculiar and natural districts to one entirely different in climate some surprising changes take place. As soon as possible after such removal they change their character and habits so as to conform with their new homes, or else cease to exist. A good wool-bearing sheep transferred from some northern pasture to the topics changes his coat to a thin covering of straggling hairs scarcely resembling wool; the dog becomes destitute of hair altogether, and even bqes cease to lay up their stores of honey and in a great measure lose their industrious habits.— St. Louis Republic-
