HEARS AS SLY AS FOXES.
They Throw Jumps of Ice at wal
ruses to Stun and Capture Them.

London telegraph: In his native nome
the polar bear docs not often meet with
small boys anxious to treat him TO punS
and other dainties. The consequence is
that Bruin has to devise many curious
WAYS of securing his food, and none are
more strange and interesting than that
related by two trustworthy travellers IN
Greenland, that country of strange Slghts.
They have known the polar bear to take
q stone or a huge lump OF Ice IN MS
fore paws and from favorable helght'
as a cliff or a precipitous ice HILL to
hnrl the missile down upon the head of
n wa1rus-an enormouSe brute, often
twice the size of a bear-and so stun MIN
that Bruin could rush in and complete
the destruction at his leisure, thus secur-
ing months rations.
The most useful food of the ice bear,
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of the
arctic regions. 7 he latter is the wariest
animal of the north, and both ESKIMO
and polar bear need their best strategy
to catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow is
off the ice of the ocean shore and lSletS,
the seals can be plainly seen as black
dots on the ice, probably asleep, but
always near their holes, which lead down
through the thick ice to the water below,
and into which they can throw them
selves by the least movement. Bry1n,
seeing one dIdT, WdlhS UP HAo AACoi S1o iAO
deems SAFE and then begins crawling
on his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunny and
pleasant, takes short maps, relieved by
ST orter moments when it is scanning the
vicinity for signs Of an enemyS approach
During these times the bear is very quiet
and as still as death itself, with eyes APP
parent1y closed, though really corner of
each is kept open, and in this way he
hopes the seal will take him for heap
of snow, an appearance which his coat
readily helps him to assume.
During the maps he creepS forward with
greater or less rapidity, according to his
nearness to the seal and consequent fear
Of being heard or seen. When but ten
or twelve yards away, and the seal is in
the depths of good nap, the bear PUSHES
upon him. and with a single blow of his
powerful paw knocks the smaller brute
senseless and so far away from the hole
that he cannot escape by that way, even
if the blow received is not Immediately
fatal.
In winter time the ice is covered with
snow. and this is followed out by the seal
into a snow house, covering the hole in
the ice and connecting at the top Of the
dome with an aperture about the size of a
shilling, called the blow hole for it is
through this that the seal breathes when
he is in want of fresh air.
Here the bear watches for many long
hour, if necessary, and when the snorts of
the seal are heard he brushes in the frag-
| lie dome of the snow house with his paw,
impaling the seal on his curved claws
| and proceeds to practically demonstrate
| how polar bears can Subsist in an arctic
| winter.

A FOOLISH SUGGESTION.
Getting Up a Wonder Bag for Sick
Friend,


Some of the suggestions for Christ
mas present-making in the women's
magazines might be collected and pub
lished under the appropriate title,
"How to Worry Ones Friends" says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
One suggestion is that one begin two
months before Christmas and prepare
a wonder-bag for some sick friend.
The plan outlined is astonishing in its
simplicity One writes begging let
tiers to an unlimited number of per-
sons, asking each one to send pres
ent for the bag. "Since these friends
will probably be scattered far and wide
in the home land and perhaps in for
eign lands as we'll, it will be neces-
sary to begin preparations early-the
earlier the BETTER" When the presents
arrive one packs them in tissue paper
and marks each with the name of the
giver and ties it with narrow ribbon.
The heavy ones are put at the bottom,
the light ones at the top, those appro-
pirate to the spring near the top and
CIOS0 SUlldUIc lOI II Jul Ill vi July III
the middle, ETC., etc. The bag, can be
made to last three months, six months
or a year. 1t all depends on the num-
Der of persons one 'held up" by mail,
