A Freak of Nature.


PuebTO ChIeItHIn.
One of the strangest and most remarkable
freaks of nature we ever saw, was received
yesterday by Mr.. Edward Austin, from a
friend in New Mexico. 1t is a root of a
pinion tree, knotted and twisted, but form
ing a perfect resemblance to two human
beings standing face to face, with arms
clasped and hands extended. 1t is no fanci-
full resemblance, but the features, ears, eyes,
nose, mouth, arms, legs and body of each are
absolutely perfect.

InteIli0enaa in Animals.

Mr.. Romanes remarks in his book
that there are few recorded instances OF
intelligence in bears; the following facts
may therefore be worth recording: In
the Clifton geological gardens there are
two female polar bears. between q and
3 years old, which came here quite
young. One of these shows remarkable
intelligence in cracking cocoanuts. A
nut was thrown to-day in the tank; il
sank long way, and the bear waited
quietly till after some time it rose lit
tie out of her reach. She then made a
current in the water with her paw, and
thus brought it within reach. This
habit has already been several times
noticed in polar bears. She then took
it on shore and tried to break it by lean
ing her weight on it with one paw.
Failing in this, she took the nut between
her fore paws. raised herself on her hind
legs to herfull height, and threw the nut
forward against the bars of the den
three or four feet of. She then again
cracked it, but failed again. She then
repeated the process, this time success
fully The keeper told me she employ
ed the same method to break the leg
bone of a horse. That this is the re
suit of individual exp erience, and not
of instinct, is clear from the fact that
her companion has not learned the trick
of opening them thus, nor could this
one do il when she first came. The
method of throwing it is precisely SINH.

Death Of ]. ]. Graham.

3 From the Miles City papers we learn
that J. ]. Graham has passed to the land
from whence no traveller returns. Mr..
Graham has been identified with Miles
City and the Yellowstone country since
1876. He has done much for Miles City
and by his death that town sustains an
irreparable loss. Never physically strong
he has labored with untiring energy and
superhuman power to attain an indie
pendency in his declining years. He has
contributed to the support Of two older
sisters since boyhood, and now when
almost prepared to end his latter days in
quiet, released from business cares, he
has been stricken down.
