The birth of litter OF lions at

In England, leads one of the English
papers to note fact that has for long
puzzled biologists, and that is notori-
GUS among those who interest them
selves in the study of wild beasts In
captivity, this being that nearly all the
lion,s tiger and leopard cubs born In
that country have a CLEFT palate, which
prevents them from being properly
sucked, and usually leads to their
premature death. But, beyond this, 8
more astonishing fact still-and one
that also greatly puzzles biolcgists-is
that which determines that of all the
wild animals born in England those
born in Bristol are regarded as the
finest and as the most likely to live.

skull being crushed, evidently by a
blunt instrument A coroner's Jury
was summoned at once and brought In
verdict of murder. Mrs. Wood hg-
ured in a divorce suit last December

cruel and inhuman treatment. She al.
legged that she owned the farm upon
which they lived and that her husband
had married her to acquire the prop
erty. The husband proved to the cor
'oner's jury that he was at work on q
farm three miles away from the scene
of the crime, and no charge has, there
fore, been made against him. No clues
have as yet been found to explain this
