About Bears.

The provisions of Nature are strange.
Climate forces upon animals different
habits. Towards the end of December
the female white bear places herself l.
a position where the snow wi drift
over her. Lying still upon rock, the
snow falls thlckly upon her, and cell
Is formed for winter habltation. In
this cell the animal resides during the
period of accouchment. The cubs are
produced, and the mother remains Sc
Guided with them until the month OF
March. The young are very small at
first, but as they grow the heat of the
bodies melts the snow and thus en-
larges the cell. The warm breath
ascends upward, and makes an aperture
for the admission of pure air. Before
alternating, the bear eats enormously
OF nutritious food, and becomes very
fat, on which fat she exists during her
winter retirement. The phenomenon
is all the more singulai, as the female
bear is compelled TO give sustenance TO
her young as we'll as TO 1--we herself, and
the surplus fat in her own body is her
OILY store OF food. Pertinent 10 this
DR.. Wood remarks: 1T is worthy of
notice that in the bears of the Old as
well as the New World, is found the
curious phenomenon OF the 'tappen,' a
hard concreted suostanc which plugs
up the intestine, and seems to be of
service in retaining the animal in con.
dition. In Scandinavia, where the
bears Of both sexes retire to winter
quarters, and remain in their hidden
receeses for five tul, months, the tappen
is very seldom cast until the animal
leaves its den. In the rare instances
where such an event has happened, the
bear is said TO have become miserably
thin and weak" The snow packs
closely, and makes a warm bed. Tne
caloric exhaled from the body is not
swept away BY the wind, but is con.
served around the animal, and sensa.
ton is preser. ed.-Iurf, Field and Farm.

An Aged Carp.

The journal deS DsJatS relates the
story Of marvel in the way of fish.
IL is Of carp that has Just died at
Chantilly, France, at the extraordinary
age of three hundred and seventy We
years If this be true, the carp was
sporting in his native element when
the Moors were being driven out of
Grenada by the Spaniards, and was born
some five years after Columbus first put
his foot on American soil. Glass was
not yet in use, and printing was not in
vented. 1t was twelve years old when
Henry VIII. assembled the throne. and
had survived ten decades before Martin
Luther was heard of.
This extr. ordinary fish belonged to a
wealthy merchant of Chantily, who
bought it about a year ago for 1900
francs. 1t was born on the estate OF
the Count de Cosse, in 1897, under the
reign of Francis l., and has during its
long life belonged to thirty two different
