An Unpleasant Experience.

screaming and fluttering in the trees
overhead. so that sportsmen and
others in dangerous localities are put
on their guard against the common
enemy.
On one occasion it happened that
two spOrtsmen in Upper India. after
fair days shooting, were returning
TO camp. when a troop of monkeys
overhead began bounding about in
great agitation. chattering and max
ing hideous grimaces. as though hall

some object beneath them.
"What can be the matter with
these monkeys ?" asked one of the
spOrtsmen of the native guide who
attended them.

The female Polar bear is taught by

Within this strange nursery she

the only use of the sn0w.burrow is to
shelter the Young, the male hears do
not hibernate like the females, but
roam freely about during the winter
months.
Before retiring under the snow,
the bear eats enormously, 50 that sii"
becomes very fat, thus laying in an
internal store of food which enables
her not only to support her own lif'
but to n0urish her young during her
long seclusion.
By an admirable provision of ma

slowly 80 long as they are in their
crystal nursery, thus needing little
food and space. When they emerge
from their shelter. the mother bear is
