Abstract: 
Zoology. The dormouse. The dormouse is a small animal that vaguely resembles a squirrel. Its passage through a henhouse leaves an unpleasant souvenir. Ripe fruit has little protection either. Although greedy, it is also courageous and fiercely defends its dwelling. Its agility and skill often lend themselves to victory. Sciences. A truly mobile auto. The way this car is constructed allows it to move in all directions. It tolerates treatment that few of its fellow cars could. The most difficult terrains are manageable for it. Travel. On the west coast of Africa. Nature has brought together on one island thousands of birds living with no fear of men. Some of them achieve a wingspan of more than two meters. Penguins, this strange type of birds, live here in equally large numbers. Madagascar. The extraction of alluvium gold. Having discovered ancient alluvium, the indigenous people cut into the earth, throwing the dirt into the water current. Others spread out along the length of the stream, using their "angady" to loosen the dirt that tends to settle. The deposits from the stream are placed in a round platter called a "batee", usually handled by women. Holding with two hands the batee, whose sides brush against the water, the woman makes a rotating motion to do the washing. Outwardly driven, the dirt loosens itself rapidly and only a pinch of gold that settles in the bottom of the batee remains.
