Fox Fz.es Fleaa in Wateii
Is This Feet or Just Fablet '
Retirement hung heavy on
his hands. Many years of ac
tive service in the world's
affairs had geared him up to
a near feverish pitch. Now
that he was retired he was
suffering the big let down;
time dragged, the days were
long and the nights were
longer. A friend suggested a
cure, "Why not spend some
time In careful observation
of the little creatures" that
inhabited an uncleared area
near his home. . "
The man tried it. After a
few weeks he became so in
terested in this new vocation
there hardly seemed time
enough to enjoy this entirely
new field of wonders that had
opened up before him. Dur
ing the course of time, he
made some remarkable dis
coveries. He aLso ran head
long into that peculiar area
that exists between supersti
tion and actual, scientific
fact. He was to have trouble
sorting it all out.
Fox Approached
In the man's actual field
of observation was a small
lake. He spent many daya on
the shore, his back against a
tree, his eyes focused on the
pulsing life before him. Late
one evening, lust before he
decided to call It a day, ha
saw a gray fox approach the
pond's edge.
The animal turned its head
from side to side, testing the
air. No tainted odor assailed
his nostrils; he resumed his
search along the shore. Two
or three times he stopped.
picxea up a stick, mouthed
It a moment, then drooDcd
it and trotted on. Evidently
he was looking for some spe
cial trick.
The man said he was watch
ing as the fox found what he
had been looking for, an old
tree branch, smooth and
weathered. "The animal pick
ed it up, balancing it care
fully in his mouth.
Waded Into Pond
Holding the stick, the fox
waded out into the pond. Ha
allowed his body to sink un
til only his mouth, which held
the stick, was above the sur
face. It was all very plain,
the man reported afterwards.
He could see, with the binocu
lars, every expression on the
animal's face. '
"Some time passed." said
the man in telling of his ex
perience, "and all the time
the fox hardly moved a mus
cle. Finally, the fox merely
allowed the stick to float
away, while he swam ashore.
He shook himself, like a dog,
and trotted away into the
underbrush.
Out on the surface of the
little pond, the stick floated.
The man, still an amateur In
animal behavior, had no idea
what he had witnessed. With
out any definite thought in
mind as to why he was doing
It, he secured a long stick and
proceeded to bring the stick
to the shore. Probably,
thought the man, the fox
merely used the stick to keep
himself afloat while his body
cooled off in the cool water.
Not expecting to find a thing.
however, the man examined
the stick. -
Crawling With Fleas
"That stick," the man later
claimed, "was crawling with
fleas." This of course presup
poses that the wily fox select
ed a stick, swam out into the
water, held the stick in Its
mouth until all the fleas
crawled up onto the only dry
place, which In this instance,
was the stick. Also it implies
that the fox knew when all
the fleas were on the stick,
and then he swam away and
left them stranded.
The gentleman ws not the
first to report such a per
formance. Whether true or
false, fact or superstition, has
been a much argued point in
animal behavior for - many
years. There is one scientific
fact that throws a shadow on
the entire business - that is
tests that have been perform
ed on fleas.. They are hardy
little creatures, and they have
actually survived under wo
ter for periods of several
hours, wlth.no apparent in
convenience. Superstition can
sometimes distort a man'a in
herent Judgment.
