ZooIooicaI Puzzle.

Italian biologists have puzzle to
solve. owing to the discovery on
Mount Blanc of the body of n white
bear. which has been brought to Aosta.
Il was thought at first that the bear
must have died some three hundred
years ago. and must have been pre-.
served by the ice. since It has always
been held that white bears vanished
from the Alps three centuries ago. But
1t has since been demonstrated that
death could only have taken place n
few days previous TO discovery. At
this would seem to show that ihcre
are still white bears in the Alps. ex.
