Moose Are Exceedingly Fond of These Pre' : At Grst thought it would appear im- possible that such large, gaunt deni- eis of the forest as moose could in wuy way be interested in fowers. They are, however, exceedingly fond of all kinds of water lilies. Few people know that these flowers grow from thick suake-like root stocks which are so firmly attached to the bottom that the stropgest man cannot loosen them. It ls from these trmly moored root stocks that the much admired leaves and tiowers strive toward the light. A well known naturalist who studied the habits of the animals {n northern Mimmesota, where moose are more nu- merous than in any other part of the "world, often found two or three big bulls bas in gathering their morn- on. sees lake bottom.
