C,;metic Chances.

There is plenty of evidence of the
very best sort which goes to prove that
but the lands situated within the arc
tic circle, must have enjoyed a tropical
climate. The numerous fossil remains
found in those regions are those of
plants and animals which, according
to the present state of our knowledge.
must have lived under conditions now
found only in the equatorial belt. Moth
ing is clearer than the fact that the
polar cold is steadily gaining on the
temperate and tropical zones and that
eventually the land. will be all fee

One of the Last of Califomia's
Big Bears Makes Raid in Ven
tura County.
Lost night a giant grizzly de-
stroyed an entire apiary at the
head of Matilda canon, four miles
from the famed Ortega rancho, in
Ventura county, gorged himself
with honey, and went numbering
up the mountain side, leaving
tracks fourteen inches long.
This morning the apiarist found
crushed stands and masses of
honey strewn about where his
forty hives had stood, and was
so frightened that he ran to Or
tega's without a hat. Many hunt
ers on horseback started on bru-
ms trail, but he has evaded them.
The scene of the depreciation is
not many miles from the place
where Capt. Allen Kelly laid hold
OF Monarch. the great beast now
in Golden Gate park, IN 1880. and
owing to the immense size of the
tracks it is believed this may be
the mate of the huge captive in
San Francisco.

California grizzly is almost ex-
tinct, and the appearance of this
one where none had been heard
