The armadillo was discovered and named by the Spanish who gave it this name because of the armory shell which envelopes ita body. Tbis armor, which is very hard and tough, is so con structed that tbe armadillo can roll itself into a ball with only the armored parts outward. The tall is covered itb from ten to fifteen rings which gradually turn into scales as thoy near tbe end. Around tbe center of tho body are rings of armor with a thin skin between so that they can either be contracted or expanded. The only hair on the body is on its chin where there is a kind of beard. The armadillo that was brought to school was two feet long and when alive probably weighed about fifteen pounds. Tbls animal came from South America. Some armadillos live In graveyards ana ieeo on decayed bodies. Their teeth are all molars and so loosely fitted in the jaw that tbey can eat only those things that require little chewing. The armadillo is verv fond of inu and when wanting any he will lie down with his tongue out, and the ants, coming along crawl ' upon it and are neia iasi oy a sticky substance upon it. When a sufficient Quantity has bent, obtained the animal draws in his tongue unu uuvours iue a&u. The armadillo has such strong, sharp oiaws.inai, wnen attacked, be can dig idw me ground in a very lew moments. fill up the hole behind him, and thus name pursuit. He is naturally harm less but when attacked can use his claws wltb dangerous effect, One day a man in Brazil came upon an armadillo on a high bill that Bloped aown to tne river. The animal Im mediately rolled up Into a ball, and tbe man wishing to learn If It could swim, Btarted it rolling toward the river. When it came to the river it rolled In. The armadillo then unrolled and swam to the opposite bank. County Commissioners' Court.
