Our own teeth are developed from pulps, which are absorbed and disappear after the teeth are grown, but in a rat's tooth the pulp is perpetual, and is continually secreting material by which the inoisor gains length.

It is commonly imagined that the rats keep gnawing from pure cussedness, but such is not the case. COLLEGE HOME FOR.
