BEAR QUEERLY BUILT
EXPERT TELLS ABOUT sTRUc
TURE OF THE ANIMAL.
Nature Evidently Had Distinct Idea
in Mind When 1t Produced
Bruin in Such a Radical
Form.

Il was long curious to know" said
q Pike county, Pennsylvania, bear
expert, why it was that the bear has
that peculiarly clumsy and apparently
painful gait, but I never found any
one who could give me satisfactory
explanation of it, so I went out and
killed a bear to find out for myself,
The reason was very simple one.
Il found in the first place, that the
bear has no clavicles in the shoulder
to keep the shoulder bones steadily
apart, as is usual in animals, and con-
sequently when the bear moves his
forelegs the shoulder blades work or
slide loosely on the sides.
Then, again, the bear has the ankle
joints of his hind legs plumb on the
ground, or rather as parts of the hind
feet That peculiar structure gives the
first joint of the hind legs a bend in
the opposite direction from that which
it has in the legs of other animals.
This loose and queer rigging of the
joints of the legs and shoulders of the
bear gives him that odd wabble or
shuttle with which he makes his way
along, although clumsy and retarding
as that gait appears, it can produce
speed and agility on occasion that is
surprising. The broad base which the
foot Of the bear forms, moreover, gives
the animal a steady and secure foot
ing, no matter what the appearance
may be to the contrary.
THE unique position of the hind
ankle joints as to the formation of the
hind feet is what enables the bear to
rise to his feet with such facility, and
to maintain a secure position standing
erect, while he uses his forepaws in
grasping or striking with his we'll
known readiness and effectiveness.
The absence of clavicles in the
shoulders is what gives the bear the
great hugging or COMPRISING power
in his forelegs, which is Of the great
est service to him in climbing and in
dealing with his foes. In fact, if he
had the shoulder formation character
istic of other animals he could not
climb tree at all, for he could not &C
complish it by his claws as the cat and
squirrel and raccoon and other animals
of arboreal habit do, nor would the
bear dog need to stand in fear of that
terrible embrace Of his

infantry Decides the Battle.


While there have been many dis
cussions as to the relative value Of
the different branches of an army
there is little doubt, according to a
writer in the Scientific American,
that it is the infantry that wins bat
ties.
While it is probable the success Of
a battle will depend to a large extent
on the support Of the field artillery, it
is certain that the principal and most
important arm is the infantry, which
in practically every case must decide
the final issue. The cavalry may be
the first to be drawn into a battle,
and the artillery may destroy the en-
emys artillery, but battle is never
won until the infantry has driven back
the enemy's lines
The usual mode of advancing for
the infantry is to deploy them in a
line with a long interval between each
soldier. This, naturally, is for the
purpose of offering a smaller target
for the enemy, but makes it more diff
ficult, however, for the leaders to
keep as good control over the men,
and for that reason one of the objects
of field artillery is to make the en-
emy's troops deploy early.
The infantry soldier is armed in all
the countries with a rife and bayonet.
The rife is the weapon upon which re-
lance is placed, the bayonet being
used only as a last means, when in a
hand-to-hand encounter with the en-
envy.

able cultivation of the various cereals.
When this prediction first was made
the United States was exporting an
nually many millions worth of food
stuffs and little attention was paid tc
the eminent Englishman's words of
caution. Today, however, with the
expectation of foodstuffs from the
United States almost nil and the fact
apparent to all that unless some radi-
cal changes in farming methods are
made Immediately the production of
cereals in this country will decrease
while the population increases.
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1914-10-10

Crooke says in substance that the ter
ritory in the world available for
profitable cultivation is, with insig
nifcant exceptions, already occupied
and that the increase in the produc-
ton of cereals is not keeping pace
with the increase in population.
1t was in 1898 that Sir William
Crooke sounded the first note of alarm
as to the possibility Of nourishing the
prospective millions of America and
Europe in the coming years. He
based his calculations chiefly on the
limited area Of land suitable for profit

Crooke's prophetic prediction looms
On the horizon of the country with
startling distinctness. He estimated
that the bread eaters in the world I'm
1898 numbered sic, 200, 600 and that
they we're increasing at the rate Of
100000 annually. Taking the maxi
mum number Of acres possible in the
world for the growth Of wheat. the
per capita consumption. the average
yield per acre Of wheat, and the prob
able increase in the population. he
figured that the world would go hun
