In his native home the polar bear
does not often meet with small boys
anxious TO treat him to buns and other
aasnties. The consequence is that
BrUin has to devise many curious ways
of securing his food. and none are more
strange and interesting than that re-
lated by TWO trustworthy travellers in
Greenland. that country OF strange
sights.
They have known the polar bear TO
take a stone or a huge lump OF ice in
his fore paws and from a favorabls
height as cliff or a precipitous ice
hill. 70 hurl the missile down upon the
head OF a walrus-an enormous brute,
often twice the size of the bear-and 50
stun him that Bruin could rush in and
complete the destruction at his leisure.
thus securing months rations.
The most useful food Of the ice bear.
as the Germans very appropriately call
this beast, is the common seal of ths
arctic regions. The latter is the wari-
est animal OF the north. and both Es-
kimo and polar bear need their best
strategy TO catch it.
In the summer time, when the snow
is of the ice of the ocean shore and
islets. the seals can be plainly seen as
black dots on the ice. probably asleep,
but always near their holes, which laaa
down through the thick ice to TIE
water below. and into which they can
throw themselves by the least move
ment. Bruln, seeing one afar, walks
up as near as he deems safe, and then
begins crawling on his wary prey.
The seal, if the weather be sunny
and pleasant, takes short maps, relieved
by shorter moments when it is scan
ming the vicinity for signs of the enc
my's approach. During these times
the bear is very quiet and as still as
death itself. with eyes apparently
closed, though really a 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 conse-
quent fear of being seen or heard.
When but ten or twelve yards away.
and the seal is in the depths of good
nap, the bear rushes upon him, and
With single blow of his powerful paw
knocks the smaller brute senseless and
SO far away from the hole that he can
lot 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, cover
ing 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 a
long hour, If necessary, and when the
snorts of the seal are heard he brushes
in the fragile dome of the snow house
with his paw, fmpaling the seal on his
curved claws. and proceeds to practi-
. cally demonstrate how polar bears can
subsist in an arctic winter.

Rats are playing havoc with the
under ground telephone and telegraph
cables in st. Louis. They have dis
covered that the wires are covered
with paraffined paper. and they rather
like the taste. To satisfy their ap-
petites, they must gnaw through the
lead casing around the wires. 1t has
happened in number of cases that the
rats in gnawing through the lead
cables, to get at the creased paper,
have barred the copper wires in such
a manner as to make il impossible to
establish communication over them
Every time this happens ii costs the
company whose wires are interrupted
all the way from a few dollars to
several hundred. The telephone men
are trying to devise some means Of
stopping the depredations.

The PEOPLE who Work Best.

The people in all lines of duty who
do the most work are the calmest,
most unhurried. Duties never wildly
chase each other in their lives. One
task never turns another out, not ever
compels hurried. imperfect doing. The
calm spirit works methodically, doing
one thing at a time well, and it, there
fore, works swiftly. though never ap
pearing to be in haste.
