Mnuth of Ant-Eater.
Ant-eaters are In the curious posi
tion of being practically unable to
open their mouths. It may almost be
3dd. Indeed, that they have no mouths
to open. There Is Just a small rojnd
orifice at the end of the snout, through
which about two feet of worm-like
tongue come wriggling out. And a
this tongue Is bathed with liquid glue
Instead of saliva, every ant which It
touches adheres to It, and tbe animal
licks the Ins.cts up by hundreds at a
time.

DEPTH OF A RAINFALL.
Tb Iocnloa Mtha I l.y It bleb It I
earaOlr Mannar I.
Probably one question that bas puz
zled tbe lay mind is how the depth
cf a rainfall may be accurately deter
mined. The way It is done is this:
A funnel whose larger aperture rep
resenti a surface of 10 square inches
is placed in a position where it may
catch the direct fall of tbe rain. With
the rim of the funnel extending per
haps an inch or more beyond the plat
form to which it may be fixed. TbU
is for ahe purpose of preventing any
rain from being wasted into tbe fun
nel and Increasing the true fall. From
this funnel the water runs to a tube,
which bears an exact and careful. y
determined ratio to the area of the
funnel's mouth, say one-tenth. If,
therefore,, the tube shows water to the
depth of an Inch, it Is clear that one
tenth of an inch of r'-n has fallen.
The tube Is provided .h a carefully
graduated scale, so that the fall may
be readily seen. Three Inches of rain
would show a depth of thirty inches In
a tube one-tenth the size of ahe receiv
ing aperture, and the decimals of an
inch could be quickly noted by ob
serving the scale. If placed on the
roof ot a building, the apparatus
should be kept away from the edges, to
prevent any peculiar slant of the wind
carrying Into he funnel a larger pro
portion of rain than would fall into
it j der normal conditions. Tbe larg
er the aperture of. the receiving fun
nel Is made, the more accurate will
be tbe results cbuined. A curious
fact that has been noted In connection
with rainfalls is that gauges placed,'
on roofs usually gather l-'ss water than
ttos9 placed on the g-la nd. This Is
accounted for on the'tJiT ttat the
rain In falling absorb soine of the
moisture of the air and the greater
distance It falls the larger will be the
bulk of the indlvidii drops New

New Klad of Moos.
On a sand island in Dublin bay a
new kind of mouse has been found.
It resembles the ordinary mouse In a l

they are the descendants of castaway
