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, 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, a
more astonishing fact still-and one
that also greatly puzzles biologists
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.
