BEAR QUEERLY Built

In Mind When Is Produced

Form.

Il was long curious to know" said
Pike county, Pennsylvania. bear
expert, why 1t was that the bear has
that peculiarly clumsy and apparently
painful gait, but l never found any
one who could give me a satisfactory
explanation or 1t, so l went out and
killed bear to find out for myself,
The reason was a very simple one.
Il found, In the first place, that the.
beer has no clavlcles in the shoulder
to keep the shoulder bones steadily
apart, as is usual in animals, and con-
sequently when the bear moves hiss
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
1t 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 q
speed and agility on occasion that is
surprising. The bread base which the
foot of the bear fo.ms, moreover. gives.
the animal steady and secure foot
ing. no matter what the appearances
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 c- 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
rSt service to him in climbing and In
dealing with his foes In fact, II he
had the shoulder formation character
lstic of other animals he could not
climb tree at all, for he could not &C.
