HEAD OF A BLACK BEAR.

March, in spite Of all temptations of
offered food. The natural instinct was
so strong that it refused to be over
come by appetite alone.
There is another very curious thing
about the Information of the black
bear. His den is usually a hole dug
under the roots of either a standing
tree or an uprooted tree, but it may be
in hollow tree, a hollow log, or more
frequently, q miniature cave in a rocky
hillside. Sometimes lie makes a bed
of leaves and moss for himself, but
often he does not. In ''holing up"

under such a condition, the warmth of
his breath keeps the snow melted inn
freezes on the inside of his den, and
presently he is incased in a dome of
snow. lined with ice, the hard lining of
which ever grows thicker from the
frozen moisture of his breath. As a
result, he often wakes early in March
to find himself prisoner in a hollow
dome of snow and ice, from which he
cannot escape for days, and where he

is where nature serves poor Rrllin q

The Habits OF the Walrus,

Although the walrus is a formidable
looking animal. especially when he
rears his huge head and cleaning tusls
out Of the water within q few feet of
your boat. Mr.. Elliott says he is not
only timid, harmless and inoffensivc,
but not even given to fighting in his
own family. His tusls. which vary in
length from twenty to thirty inches
and in weight average from six to eight
pounds each. were given him to dig
clans with, and are of precious little

ing himself from attack He sleeps
comfortably in the open sea. floating
bolt upright in the water. with his nos

a dozen feet below. Nature purpo.,ely
built him in the shape of a buoy. SO
that when sleeping or resting ut sea

cased foreguarters brings his nostrils
out OF the water without the slightest
effort on his part. He grunts and bel

amusement. apparently. and many

by the grunting of the walrus lying
upon them.-St. Nicholas.

One of the most curious things about

den without either eating or drinking
until the next spring. This is called
hibernation; and during this period
the ordinary processes of digestion
seem to be entirely suspended. In our
semi-tropics bears do not hibernate,
but nature undoubtedly planted this
instinct in the brain of the bear of the
north to enable him to survive the Sc
we're winter period when the SHOWS lie
deep. and all food is so scarce that
otherwise he would be in danger of
starvation. This period of Information
