A Notable Polar Bear.

The large polar bear which for TWEEN
ty-thrce years had lived in the manag-
erie of the Geological society, London,
died recently after fortnight's ILL
ness. The bear was presented to the
society by Mr.. b. l.. Smith, who
brought it home from an Arctic voyage
in 1871. Frank auckland then de-
scribed it as ''about the size of New
foundland dog, but more short and
stumpy, with splendid shaggy GOAT
of long. yellow hair In its long life
at the gardens, under the same careful
management by which another speci-
men of the same species was kept for
thirty-six years in the menagerie, it
grew to size rarely equaled, even by
the largest polar bears killed in the
Arctic regions, and its weight was esti-
mated at three-quarters of ton,
though during its illness it refused
food and became much emaciated.-
