They are a spe cie of the gray squirrels from Cali fornia, and their scientific name Is Scurius Negri pes. . ( They were very active, running to and fro In their cage. Sometimes when they felt especially energetic, they Jumped to the top of the cage, and swung there. It was necessary for the cage door to be wired shut or the squirrels would get out. One morning Mr. Taylor found them run ning loose in the room. They had probacy lifted the door and made their eiicape. While putting them back. Tom Zivkovtch, who was help .inft .Mr, Taylor, received bite and scratches on Ms hand, as It was nec essary to lay hold of one of them to get him back where he belonged. The squirrels are silvery gray, with very flat, long, bushy tails, that curl up to their ears, Mr. Taylor fed them pecan nuts and gave them fresh water two or three times a day. Whenever someone put paper In the cage, they tore it In pieces and tried to hide under the pieces, as this is abcut their time of year to hiber nate. Irma Kling hammer.
