Animals and Earth Vibrations. 
Very probably not only fish, but animals 
and some birds hear as much by the vibration 
of the earth as by the sound traveling in the 
atmosphere, and depend as much upon their 
immediate perception of the slightest tremor of 
the earth as upon recognition by the ear in the 
manner familiar to ourselves. When rabbits, 
for instance, are out feeding in the grass, it 
is often possible to get quite close to them by 
walking in this way, extremely slow, and care¬ 
fully placing the foot by slow degrees upon the 
ground. The earth is then merely pressed, and 
not stepped upon at all, so that there is no jar. 
By doing this 1 have often moved up within 
gunshot of rabbits without the least aid from 
cover. Once now and then I have walked across 
a field straight at them. Something, however, 
depends on the direction of the wind, for then 
the question of scent comes in. To some de¬ 
gree it is the same with hares. It is certainly 
the case with birds, as wood pigeons. A flock 
of them will remain feeding only just the other 
side of the hedge, but if you stamp the earth, 
will rise instantly. So will rooks, though they 
will not fly far if you are not armed. Par¬ 
tridges certainly secure themselves by their at¬ 
tention to the faint tremor of the ground. 
Pheasants do so, too, and make off, running 
through the underwood long before any one is 
in sight. The most sensitive are landrails, and 
it is difficult to get near them for this reason. 
Though the mowing grass must conceal an 
approaching person from them as it conceals 
them from him, these birds change their posi¬ 
tions, no matter how quietly he walks. Let him 
be as cunning as he will, and think to cut off 
corners and cross the landrail's retreat, the bird 
baffles him nine times in ten. That it is ad¬ 
vised of the direction the pursuer takes by the 
vibration of the surface is at least probable. 
Other birds sit and hope to escape by remaining 
still till they detect the tremor coming direct 
toward them, when they rise. Rain and dry 
weather change the susceptibility of the surface 
to vibrate, and may sometimes in part account 
for the wildness or apparent tameness of birds 
and animals. Should anyone doubt the exist¬ 
ence of such tremors, he has only to lie on the 
ground with his ear near the surface, but being 
unused to the experiment, he will at first only 
notice the heavier sounds, as of a wagon or 
a carthorse. In recent experiments with most 
delicate instruments devised to show the cosmic 
vibration of the earth, the movements communi¬ 
cated to it by the tides, or by the “pull” of the 
sun and moon, it has been found almost impos¬ 
sible as yet to carry out the object, so greatly 
are these movements obscured by the ceaseless 
and inexplicable vibrations of the solid earth. 
There is nothing unreasonable in the supposi¬ 
tion that if an instrument can be constructed to 
show these, the ears of animals and birds— 
living organisms, and not iron and steel—should 
be able to discover the tremors of the surface.—
