low The White Bear goes Sealing.

The white bear is well known, sub
sists principally on seals, and he kills many
of them on the sheets of "fast" ice but
how he manages 10 get within arms length
OF them is beyond what ! can understand
when the seals are ahoai about one loose
drilt ice. Bruins lille game is obvious
enough He finds his seal" by eyes or
nose, i'll The use of both oil which organs u
ntartimus is unsurpassed by any wild animal
whose acquaintance have ever m made !;
aud then, slipping into the water half a
mile or so TO oIee-ward of his prey, he swims
slowly and silently toward him, Keeping
very lille of his head above water. On
approaching The ice on which the seal is
lying, the bear slips along unseen under the
edge of il until he is close under the hap
less seal, when one jump up and one blow
OF his tremendous paw generally settles
the business. The seal cannot 90 fast
enough to escape by crossing TO the other
side OF the iceberg, if be jumps down when
the bear is close TO him, he does the best
he can for his life, for, if he does not Jump
actually ITO The arms OF his foe and gets
into The water, he is very likely 10 escape,
the bear having no chance whatever when
the seal is once fairly aaoat Il cannot be
very easy, even for an animal of such pros
digous strength as the polar bear, To keep
hold of a six hundred weight seal during
the fret contortions of the latter, and fu-
rious struggle must often take place. That
the seals often escape from the grasp OF the
bear is certain, for we ourselves shot al;
least half dozen of large seals which were
deeply gashed and scared by the claws of
bears. II is evidently fear of the bear which
makes the seals 30 uneasy and restless
when they are on ;he ice, as very many of
these seals in all probability never saw a
man or a boat in all their lives

Protecting Animals from Rain Storm

believe that farmers generally are not
aware how much loss hey sustain in the
flesh ol their domestic animals, and how
much they suffer during tie cold storms of
ram in the summer, or at any other season
of the year. Warm showers never iniure
animals indeed, they appear TO have a
good relish for such a sprinkling as they
frequently get, providing it is not as cold as
ice. Most animals will endure pretty Sc
we're cold, as long as they can keep dry !;
but a. soon as their bodies have been wet,
and are kept wet evaporation commences.
And as evaporation is cooling process, the
heat OF their bodies is carried away very
rapidly and the sudden transition from
heat TO cold chills ;hem in a very short time
and Injuries them more than a severe storm
in winter.
Animals will endure very sudden change
from cold 10 heat with impuniiy; but sud-
den changes from heat TO cold are often at
