Some New Truths About the Beaver and Its Ways Master Naturalist Upsets Many Old Fictions A‘bout Canada‘s Beaver. No species of our empire fauna is more popular than the beaver. And by the same token no creature, feathered or furred, is more misrepesented reâ€" garding certain habits and traits. All kinds of exagzerated and fantastic stories of beaver life are told by naâ€" ture fakirs, and others who rely upon fanciful ideas to explain what they do not understand, stories all too often acâ€" cepted as authentic beaver lore. We have been told so often, for inâ€"| stance, that the beaver works all the | time that we believe the creature to bel a paragon of industry from which lazy humans could well take example. "Busy as a beaver," is a saying in daily use. It is a harmless belief, to be sure, and one shattered with hesitaâ€" tion. Actually the beaver is no more industrious than any Oother animal of the wilderness with something necesâ€" sary to accomplish in relation to aA wellâ€"ordered existence. It is far too inâ€" telligent to labor merely for the sake of ‘being employed, as all who know the creature intimately will aver. The beaver loafs and plays by the hour, to say nothing of the time expended dozâ€" ing in the sun and performing an elâ€" aborate toilet. When a dam is conâ€" structed across a stream and a lodge built in which to live, there is nothing to do except keep them in repair, forâ€" age daily food, and, in the fall of the year, harvest and store a supply of provender for the winter months. Beâ€" sides, in altitudes where the temperaâ€" ture is low and snow lays deep on the ground when winter comes, aS hapâ€" pens over most of the northern scene, the beaver is a virtual prisoner in its lodze for at least four months out of evey twelve. As a matter of fact, the time spent in actual labor by an averâ€" age beaver family with a pond and 3â€"piece Tea Service Beautifully hand chased in the traâ€" ditional melon design $39.75 Other Tea Services as low as $9,.5) (By H. U. Green, of Banff National Park, in The Canadian Forest and Outdoors) k All pieces shown are of Quality Silverplate domicile already made, does not exceed, apart from the daily gathering of sumâ€" mer food, more than four weeks in the aggregate in any one year. And as for the individuals who use a burrow for a home and require no dam because deep water or ready made pools are available, they have proportionally less work to do and more time to while the happy hours away, which they seemâ€" ingly enjoy without being bored. In extenuation, one may say that what labor the beaver performs is well done and, furthermore, it invariably sucâ€" ceeds in what it desires to accomplisn. Sometimes, though, useless labor is eviâ€" dent indicating that there are foolish beavers as well as wise ones. All in all, if the beaver cannot live up to its reâ€" putation as paragon of industry, it is at least an example of masterful persistâ€" ence worth emulating in the conduct of our own affairs, something 'muc:hl more to the point. Who has not read the delightful beaver story that, among other things, tells us in all sincerity that the hero of "undeniable" fame in the beaver world‘ used his paddleâ€"like tail for A trowel to plaster mud on the walls of the family lodge, as sled to haul stones and other material when building A dam, and for a maul to drive stakes in the form of a crib in which to store winter food. These remarkable iattrifoutes are, of course, the product of a vivd imagination, conjured for no other reason than because the shap: of a bsaver‘s tail suggests many posâ€" sibilities to those who have no perâ€" sonal acquaintance with this interestâ€" inz mammal. Neither ‘does a beaver sleep with its tail in the water in order to be advised should a break occur in the dam of the home pond, indicated by a drop in water level. Yet we often hear that this is true. Actually, the lbeaver‘s tail is only used to aid a change of direction while swimming. | as a plane to maintain a desired depth , Ferg uy PP by a drop in water level. Yet we often | g near that this is true. Actually, the beaver‘s tail is only used to aid a change of direction while swimming. as a plane to maintain a desired depth when â€" travelling submerged, a brace for its body when felling trees, and an implement to strike on water with a reâ€" soundinz slap in play and when apâ€" prehensive Oor alarmed. If is the beaver‘s "hands" .and "arms‘"‘ that convey mud, stones, and vegetable deâ€" bris in water and on land, hugged tight against his chin and breast. It is the beaver‘s "hands‘"‘ that place and smosoth building material other than the limbs and branches of trtes. And by the way, the beaver swims only with its |\we1h6bed' hind feet, the fore feet, devoid l ienss ns es h: | | | ‘ of connective tissues, are held close: to the body when in water. Another popular belief derived from the literature of fiction is that beavers deliberately fell trees Across stream for stringers against which to build dam, travelling long distances to find those with a decided lean which, when cut, would conveniently fall in the deâ€" sired direction. The beaver does no. such thing, although there is ample evidence to sugz:est that the choice of la home site is not haphazard underâ€" taking made without thought of suitâ€" able surroundings and the minimum amount of labor necessary to Qreate an environment suitable for its needs. A beaver dam is constructed much in the same manner as human being would go about the job with nothing to work with except sticks, the limbs of trees, and mud and stones and vegetable debris. And speaking of trees, the beaver does not gnaw or worry through the | trunk to brign them crashing to the ground. It has a definite technique unknown to other members of the e e oo I is t } 1 \Ahes * And speaking of trees, the beaver does not gnaw or worry through the trunk to brign them crashing to the ground.

Skaffes are nearer together ‘and the chips become smaller as the heart of the tree is reached, until finâ€" ally they are nothing more than large crumbs removed by a single bite. Trees i are not partially felled and left for convenient wind to lay them low, asS commonly believed. Neither are they completely severed, for an inch or so is left uncut to operate a lag in the fall and give the beaver ample time to leave the scene with safety. Only the fourâ€"chiselâ€"shaped incisor teeth with which the beaver is endowed are used for cutting wood, not the entire set, numbering twenty in all. t Cc M e y e m t n onl ul io 20030 ‘The beaver does not suck air from wood to make it sink, story book lore to the contrary. Limbs and branches it desires to submerge are anchored by pushing the ends into deep mud or enâ€" tangling them with other material similarly made fast. Work under watâ€" er is made easy for the beaver by Mother Nature, for its ear and nasal apertures are closed by voluntary musâ€" cles when beneath the surface and its lips meet behind the front teeth to exâ€" clude water from the mouth. And if this were not enough to ensure deâ€" CHARMING WEDDING EVENT HERE MONDAY ye= PORCUPMIE ADVANC®, TIMMINS, ONTARIO gree of comfort, two supernumary claws attached to the inner digits of each hind foot make ideal combs tCc smocth the fur and rid it parasites. As one would expect, the beaver is not exempt from being considered a weather prophet by wilderness progâ€" nosticators who say that when the walls of a beaver lodge are thick it is an indication the following winter will be severe. No such thing. All occupied beaver lodges increase in . size and thickness with age because more maâ€" terial is invariably added each year than is necessary to repair the seasonâ€" al ravages of wind and rain. In other words, the older a beaver lodge the thicker the walls and the greater the height in proportion to the circumferâ€" ence. They tell us, too, that exceptionâ€" al winter weather can be expected when beaver fur is usually dense in the late summer months. They do not know, of course, that the density of the pelt of any furbearer varies with the individuâ€" al, And after all, wilderness signs can hardly be expected to advise us of weather conditions weeks in advance when science sets the limit at about twentyfour hours. Few animals of the wild are not blamed for interfering in various ways with our recreational or economic deâ€" sires, but the beaver is not included in the list. its depredations are insignificant when one considers its value as a conservator of water and what water means to the welfare of forests and woodlands and a host of wild things, feathered and furred, who profit greatly from the‘ presence of beaver ponds and meadows. Fortuneâ€" ately, the only serious charge against the beaver is unfounded. For many years it has been accused by sportsmen as being responsible for game fish deâ€" pletion in certain lakes and streaims. The fact that overâ€"fishing water polluâ€" ' tion, and other manâ€"made Ccauses are actually to blame is never considered pecause we prefer to find a scapegoat to bear the brunt of our ignorancte of wild life affairs, rather than seek the truth. The beaver does not eat fish or any other animal food. In fact, beavers and fish get along very well tozether. Neithâ€" er does it harass or destroy any other natural occupant of the lakes and streams in which it lives. By and large, there is cnough wonâ€" der regarding the beaver, its works and ways, to more than satisfy the averâ€" age reader‘s desire for thrilling stories of the wild without resorting to fabriâ€" cation.. And as for other untruthful things, ‘it is a pity we learn much of our natural history from sources that either glorify animal life beyond the realm of reason, or create aA prejudice which does not exist. Customs Red Tape Troubles Visitors to World‘s Farr Canadians Returning from New York Find Customs Rules Difficult to Meet.

GROUP A â€" SELECT | Service, he might keep his eyes open while in Germany and if he detecte(fl anything of military interest his report could later be forwarded to the proper quarers, The two officers travelled around the continent, spending some time in Gerâ€" many. At length they had to admit that their leave was about to expire and they would have to travel fast to get to the channel ports on time. 8So one day they started early along the magnâ€" ificert highways of the Reich, speeding for the border. As the road was almost deserted they got their little Austin up to 60 miles an hour, at which speed it was barely under control. Rounding a turn they were horrified to discover an enormous German army tank trundâ€" ling along to meet them. The car driâ€" ver clamped on his brakes but with little hope of stopping in time to preâ€" venting a collision. Both officers shut there eyes and waited for the crash fearing that they would not emerge alive from the wreck which seemed 0 them inevitable. To their dazed surâ€" prise they climbed out of the car which was little damaged while the "tank" was sirewn all over the highway . A fierceâ€"looking German officer emerged from the collapsed "tank" and accostâ€" ed them. "You are English," he roared, after examining their passports. "If you evâ€" er report this incident we will follow you and get you.‘ The British officers hastened to the border and home, still incredulous. The "tank" had been made of paper and laths, painted to look like a tremendous weapon of war. It had a tiny engine and chassis, sufficient to carry its light superstructure. Believe it or not! ‘"Here is another tale that could be. swallowed with pleasure were it true (and it might be). The "News Review" of London recently carried a story inâ€" dicative of the growing industrial unâ€" rest in Germany. The men of the Rheinmetal Co. were, says the article, kept in the shops to hear an addreoss by the labor leader, Bangert, who harâ€" angued them over a loud speaker syâ€" stem from the director‘s office. The speech, a tirade against the workers‘ laziness, included such statements as: "I can tell you that in future unjustified absence from work will be punished as sabotage." To this the men replied by shouting: â€" "We want shorter hours, higher wages and more liberty‘"‘ until finally above the confusion the cry "Neider mit Hitler" (down with Hitler) After a moments silence they all took up the refrain and left the shops in body, leaving Herr Bengert to talk inâ€" to space. Notices were subsequently posted to the effect that "By order of I't:he police, any mention or discussion of happenings within the shops is forbidâ€" den. Any worker found guilty will be | punished with death." So? D a 6.
