BEARS THAT MIGRATED.
Instances of Their Gathering and March
ing Away Together.

Instances of Their Gathering and March
ing Away Together.
Manly Hardy writes to The Forest
and Stream about bears that migrated:
1.-The first notice of these migrations
is to be'found in book By hsss jesse
Ign, entitled New England 'Raretiee
Discovered, published in 1873 In this
book he says that great companies of
bears sometimes travelled across what is
probably the Piscataqua river
About 20 years ago. early in Septem-
Der, my father one night witnessed o
bear migration. The night was q dark
one. The bears came to the east bank
OF the Penobscot river i'll the town of
Orrington, about seven miles below Ban.
gor. The bears could be heard calling
and answering each other till low water,
when they took to the water, swan
across and landed on the Hampden side.
In the morning it was found that
large number had crossed. My father
saw their tracks across a single plank
in a shipyard.
Again, about 80 years ago, friend
OF mine, Henry Clapp who is quoted in
Casinos Standard Natural History us
an authority on bears, told me that dur
ing the fall he had gone ON trapping
trip, but had found few bears, till ono
morning in November after Il snowfall
he found the tracks of nine different
bears, all headed up one little valley
For several days after that more bear
tracks were found, all headed in the
same direction-from asst to west. They
denned up when it came time to do so,
and in the spring headed east again.
1t is believed among sporrsmen that
bears go back into the woods to den up
and come to the vicinity of the clear
lnSs every spring, but extensive migra-
tons by bears are us little heard of as
those OF wild turkeys and prairie chick
ems What naturalists do not understand
is how the animals, which usually scat
ter over miles of territory, know how,
when or where to get together for their
trims -

POCKETS.
Thirty of Them Made In Pair of
Brooches of the Year 1911.

Brooches of the Year 1911.
Perhaps the best proof of the advance
Of the japanese i'll civilization is to be
found i'll their use of pockets. The peo-
pie Of that country have usually six or
eight pockets cunningly inserted in the
cuffs of their wide sleeves. These peck
cts are always filled with curious mis-
cellany. AS common as the Irvine i'll the
pockets of young Americans is the pray
er amulet written on sheets of rice pa
per and composed by the BONES. In &C
cordance with their faith, these anu
let's are swallowed like pill in cases
of mental or physical distress. Another
essential seldom missing is number of
small squares of silky paper. These are
put to unexpected uses such as to hold
the stem of Il lily or lotus, to dry tea
cup or to wipe away a tear. Among the
Chinese and other nations pouch is
used instead of pocket. This was also
the case i'll western Europe i'll the mid
die ages and for some time afterward.
The pouch was attached to tho girdle,
along with dagger and rosary. 1t was
called an aulmoniero or gipcierc. 1t was
often Ornamcntcd with curious patterns,
gold and silk threads, coats Of arms and
religious sentences A dramatist of the
time Of henry VIII wrote:
From my girdlc he plucllcd my pouch
By GOur leave hc left me never 4 penny.
Breechcs, however, had pockets at an
carly date. In an old play written about
1911 il is mentioned that man had his
breechcs plated as if they had 80 peck
cts. But pockets did not attain their
proper position until the adoption of
the modern style of mems garments.
With waistcoatS great opportunity for
pockets presented itself. Later they were
made very broad and deep and were
covered with embroidery and buttons.
In the reign of George III waisfcoat
pockets reAched such size i'll England
that they became objects of ridicule, so
that they soon began to resume more
moderate proportions. New York Post

He really looks very much like Il
bear, though you must put him under a
powerful microscope to see the rescm-

ever, about this tiny creature is that he
is found i'll the cutters of houses, where
heis as one time dry as dust and scorch-

and full of life under refreshing
shower of rain.
The water bear is one of the Rotifer
animalculCs, and is of all Of them the
most capable of standing any extremes
of temperature without giving up the
ghost. He may be left dried up for
months, even years, and yet on being
put into water will expand and begin
moving about and feeding vigorously.
Although he cannot stand boiling wa
ter, he will live i'll dry heat at lar
higher temperature, even up to EGO
degrees F. One has actually been kept
i'll vacuum for 80 days with sulphuric
acid and chloride of calcium without
losing his capability of identification.
As for the reason why, it seems the

known, will stand very high temper.

Then, too, they are provided with two
skins, one over the other, and these
skins aIc wonderfully tough and elastic.
The water bear has the scientific
name of tardigraCa, because he takes
life so easy. He is always fat and
plump and spends his waking periods
IL constantly gIubbing with his four
pairs of legs among whatever rubbish
comes in his way. Having eyes, brain
