ANIMAL SAGAcIrY AT THE NoRrH PoLE.-
According to the Esquimaux, the seal con-
structs its habitation beneath the surface Of
the ice in such manner that it can enter II
from the water below here the young seal
passes its infancy. and when the returning heat
Of summer has destroyed its igloo, or dwelling,
the young seal is old enough to take care Of
itself; but this mode Of lodging its young be-
meath the ice is well known to the bear. who
with its keen scent soon detects the where
abouts of the seals nursery, and in order to
gain an entrance the bear, retiring short dis
tance, makes a spring and comes down with
all his weight on the roof Of the igloo, erushes
it in, and Immediately seizes the young seal
with its paw. Here it might be supposed the
hungry bear at once devours its piey but no,
it is far to wary to do so, it knows full well
that where babe is there must Of necessity
be a mother, and that she will be in search Of
her darling therefore the bear scrapes away
the snow from the seal hole, and holding the
young seal by the hipper, allows il to founder
about. and when the mother approaches, the
bear slyly draws the young seal toward it I'M
till the old one is within reach. when he seizes
her with the other paw, and thus captures
both. The mode in which the bear captures
the seal on the ice is very similar to that fol-
lowed by the Esquimaux. When alta distance
from the SEAL the bear throws itself down and
stealthily crawls or hitcbes along toward the
seal. and if the seal looks up it lies perfectly
still and makes. at the same time, anoise which
lulls the seal the bear repeats the operation
until it approaches its victim 50 near that es-
cape is impossible, when it falls a prey TO
Bruins appetite. Another mode Of obtaining
food BY the bear Is To watch from q cliff the
movements Of the walrus, who are fond Of
summing themselves on the rocks, and when
one Of these has taken upa convenient position
for the bears purpose, the latter lifts large
piece Of rock. and. with astonishing accuracy,
throws it down on the animals head. II the
waIrus is only stunned. the bear rusnes down,
and with the rock hammers its victim on the
head until il is dead. When attempting TO
capture a seal in water, the bear sinks its body
beneath the surface Of the sea, leaving only
the head above water. which resembles piece
Of floating ice when the seal raises its head
above the surface, Bruin quietly sinks. and
swimming under the seal, seizes it.-Nlus,ra-

Il DIsAPPEARAscE OF Tau Corona. The dis
appearance Of the star Tau Corona has excited
considerable discussion on the point whether
this heavenly body has been consumed BY FIRE,
or. by increasing its distance from the earth,
has only vanished from the sight Of terrrestri-
al observers. On the latter point it is stated
that recent calculations show that the sun and
the star Sirius are receding from each otherat
the rate Of 30 miles per second. and II is as
serted that this famous star viii gradually be-
come DINNER and DINNER. and will eventually
entirely vanish from human sight, unless the
power in the lenses Of telescopes in time will
have been so greatly increased that astronomers
will be able to investigate more minnfely into
the now distant and invisible stellar systsms.

INTERESTING To ADvERrIsERs.-.A
bill has been introduced in the New York
Legislature providing that every news
paper and periodical shall publish, in
each issue, the number of copies of lis
last issue, 50 that all readers may know
the amount of its circulation. This Is
probably movement on the part of adj
vertiSerS. who wish to know for what
they are paying their money, and ii
might not be bad law TO have here and
everywhere that newspapers circulate.
We should know then about how many
are enlightened by the wisdom or per-
verted by the sophistry of each journal,
and we should see frequent illustrations
of that text of Scripture which declares
Wisdom cryeth aloud in the streets, and
