But Animals For Most Part Prefer a Mud or a Dust Bath. While members of the human family usually pay a great deal of attention to bathing with. water, most of the animals seldom wash with this cleans- ing liquid. The only creatures making habitual use of it are the various kinds of birds•, some tropical creatures, and certain fur -bearing animals, practical- ly al.l of which are in their natural element when Swimming about in the water. The little canary generally enjoys getting into its tub and splashing the water over itself, afterward drying its feathers by a brisk fluttering of the wings and hopping from perch to perch. Even the common sparrows are enthusiasts in bathing in the pud- dles that collect after a rain. How- ever, some birds seem to prefer a shower bath in the rain, pigeons de- lighting in such baths, while larks and . cockatoos never bathe in any other manner. But naturalists who •have made a special study of bird habits claim that the desire of most birds to bathe in cool water is caused by the high temperature of their blood, which is constantly at: what would be fever heat for any of us. This is very plaus- ible, as the constant demand of a feverish person for cold water and sponge baths is practical proof of the theory. Fluttering in the dust is another method of bathing indulged in by those birds not using water. All birds of the game and poultry family take dust !:laths exclusively. Bears Like Water. There is nothing that the American hears like more than a good bath, in their native forest life and when confined in a cage. The Alaskan brown bears are especially fond of it, and es a result you will notice them taking a dip in their big concrete tubs several times during each ,day. The entire bear family appears to like an occasional bath, especially during hot weather, but the American bears get the most enjoyment out of it. It is amusing to watch a big grizzly get in- to its tub and begin to snort with satisfaction. After pulling and blowing for some time it will climb out and proceed to towel itself in the sun. Use Mud for Soap, Elephants are about the only beasts that have been observed to employ water for the deliberate purpose of washing. Hunters have seen mother elephants daub their young with mud and then spray it off with a trunkful of water, much as if they were using the mud for soap. The hippopotamus makes its home almost entirely in the water, so it cannot be said that it in- dulges in bathing for the cleansing that it will get. On the contrary, it generally delights in shallow, swampy places in which it can wallow. Most of the hairless animals delight to wal- low, some of them almost living In a mud bath during certain season; of the year. The rhinoceros is one of these, the mud often caking on film so hard that water will scarcely dissolve it after it has been baked in the tropt. cal sal. 'The Asiatic and African buffaloes are also quite fond of wallowing in the mud underneath shallow water, with only their noses sticking above the surface. In Asia they are a favor- Ste beast of burden when domesticated and one of their usual tricks when not wanting to work is to hide under the water beneath an overhanging tree while their masters call for 'them in vain. The American buffalo, an entire- ly different species in both size and habits, enjoys a wallow in the, dust, going .through the movements much as does the horse. Land Reptiles Don't Bathe. Land reptiles never take, baths of any kind, possibly depending en the motion of their bodies to shake off the dirt while, the sun beats down on their backs and acts as a cleanser. Water` reptiles do not wash at all, they mere- ly lie In the water and soak. The only actual cleansing they get is when they swim from place to place. The cat, mouse, and their respective relatives, are adepts at washing their faces and paws, especially after eating, while raccoons are equally cleanly in their habits. We have often laughed at the Scratching habits of mons ey.% but some naturalists claim that it is only a kind of brushing that these. active Creatures are giving their skin and Pur in order to keep it cleaner, Fish ladders are to 'be placed ,itt the 13ow river, •which will enable the trout, grayling and other food fishee to ascend the river. This will give fifty miles of additional fishing ground,
