a DESPERATE BEAR FIGHT

The Cologne Gazette contains an account of a
combat wcn took place III the Geological Gardens Of
that city between Polar bears, which, that Journal
remarks, Roman Emperor would assuIedly have paid
"A million sesterti to Witness" These two bears had
been brought from Spitzberg five years ago. and had
been placed IN large pit, with tank IN the center
Until within the last few days they had remained upon
excellent terms with each other but last week quarrel
occurred between them the result OF which was that the
female bear took refuge upon the summit OF large rock
In one corner D, the pit The male did not attempt to
follow her. ana she remained there three DAYS. when
pressed by hunger she descended again AS soon rs the
male bear her he immediately rushed at her
and attacked her with ms fore paws the keep
ers attempted To sepeIate them and belabored
the male with heavy iron bars but the bones In the
head Polar bear mucn harder thn those OF
the ordinary bear that these blows took no effect The
male bear continued to wreak his vengeance upon his
cOmpaniOn and after having almost torn her body into
ribbons dragged her to the bottom OF tho tank and
held until he felt assured that all sign of life
was extinct He nen brought her body back 10 the floor
pit aud dragged around the tank nearly
hour Afer tins, he withdrew into his sleepngden to
rest his ab0s, and the keepers at closed the
iron oars upon nim Having examined the boy OF the
dead be ar they found had received more than hun
dred wounds; the neck and head crushed almost
10 jelly and the flesh hanging In strips from the
back and sides. During the whole combat neither of the
bears uttered cry sound NJ any kind but except In
tns particular, 1t must have borne singular resen-
blance 10 what may sometimes may be seen in Ian
