WONDERFUL TUNNEL DIGGER How the Mole Uses Its Remarkable Front Feet As Spades, Picks and Rakes. Of all the animals that live in burrows underground the commonest is the mole, that little furred creature which raises those unsightly heaps of earth that ruin so many lawns. They are the most rapid tvnnelers in the world, for if one be dug from his hole and placed on the surface he will dig so swiftly that he may almost be said to disappear in the twinkling of an eye. The mole is able to do this because of its wonderful front feet, which it can use as spades/ picks and rakes. Under the lawn the moles have a regular city, each digging his own apartments, with complex galleries leading to and from them, some for entrance and exit, others for ventilation, others simply as hiding places. The general form of these subterranean houses is the same. Each has a central chamber, roughly round in shape and from two to three and a half inches in diameter This is surrounded by two circular galleries, the larger on the same level as the chamber, and from five to nine inches distant, the smaller higher up. Three passages lead from the central chamber to the upper gallery, and this is connected with the lower by five or six others, descending obliquely. From the lower eight pt ten passages radiate, alternating with the former and curving to rejoin the principal passage. A safety passage descends from the chamber and curves up to connect with a ventilating The walls of all of these are smooth and firm. In the central chamber is a nest of leaves, grass, roots—anything suitable that the mole can drag from the surface. When danger threatens the mole from above it lifts this nest and descends into the safety passage. When attacked from below or from the side it escapes through its labyrinth of passages. Mole catchers require much experience of the habits of the little fellows before then can know where to lay their traps.—New’ York World.
