ADisadvantages-Life is extremely
monotonous and circumscribed, inter-
course between the islands being for
bidden; the old Spartan simplicity of
living chiefly on cocoanut and fish
mas vanished, and rice, meat, sugar
and biscuits are consumed; clothes
of shocking shape and atrocious color

kilt Of leaves;" native arts and crafts
have rapidly declined; decrease of
population has set in, and the number
Of sterile marriages Is growing rap

The islands are coral, and the high

feet above high water mark. The ma
tives consume daily about seven

BEAR MCURNS CUBS DEATH
London Zoo Visitors See Mother Pace
Jp and Down Gazing Wistfully
for Offspring.

London.--Barbara, the polar bear
at the Zoo, is miserable for her babies
it is now known that she had a son
and daughter-are both dead
The male baby, the one Barbara
brought out and carried up and down
on her arm, survived his tiny sister
ten days. The keepers who thought
they heard two voices" were, there
fore right.
When visitor went to call upon
Barbara she was pacing up and down
in front of her pond and the gate into
her now empty nursery was locked
against her and secured with strong
iron chain
Every time she reached the gate
ljhe stared wistfully into the dark in
terror and tried to push r-ar way in.
AT eaen failure She Went on win
her restless walk again- the saddest
animal in the world.
People who did not know what was
sgrteving her came, attracted by her
agitation, and stared and laughed at
her in amused surprise. They had not
seen polar bear act like that before.
She went in half-hearted way into
the water for the first time sincenher
babies were born. 1t was as if the poor
beast knew now that she need not
trouble to keep herself dry and warm
on account of a. tiny baby she used to
caress.
But she soon tired of the water and
climbed out to make again the same
pathetic efforts to get to the place
where she last saw her little ore.
When the keepers noticed that the
baby was no longer crying Barbara
was locked out. and they went in and
found the two little bodies, which
they at once took to the inortua4y
When Barbara is allowed back into
the nursery Sam, her husband, will re-
turn to her. Itis hoped that when he
does her sorrow will moderate.
Why the little bears died is not
certain, but it is thought that the cen
ditions of captivity in a eomparatiyeiv
warm climate were too much for the
arctic mother.
she ought to have made herself
snug in cave in the snow-or ice and
have stayed there without food for
several weeks.
Instead of that, she came out and
fed, an unnatural thing for her TO do,
