But "the bear was too Quick for :him. He slapped out wlefi his paw, and the leg clews 'scraped the side of the Aleut's face, Meering the flesh ofP.." ' • Scrambling to his feet, the badly scared•and injuredIndianraced down the ravine toward the cabin of Mr. Nichols, superintendent of.the cannery Where he worked. "Theme's a ghost bear in my cabin!" he yelled as he ran. • Polar bears never ati•ay; that far south. He knew this, and lie was very superstitions, says the writer,con- tiIfl ng: A few inidutos later a second Alert came up.. He had not seen the fracas, nor hoard the shouts of his friend; Mid, • not suspecting the fate that awaited hila, he stopped into • the cabin. He caw the bear too late.•Be- ' fore the frightened Aleut could turn about and try to escape the big bear had crushed in the back of his slcull With one quick blow. • The animal,. note pante-stricken, dashed out of the cabin just as Mr. Nichols came running up with a re, ,peating'ride. Seeing him, the bear swung around and charged straight at him. Nichols raised his rifle, He was afraid the bullets might glance- off :the bear's sloping forehead, so he aimed for the :left: eye. The bullet found its mark, but still the bear came charging on. Again Niolrols.flred, this time at the right' eye, The second. bullet struck house. The bear plunged onward a few more feet and then dropped in his tracks. The bearskin is still in Mr. Nichols' ifamily—without a 'mark on its fur. He was not a white bear. He was a grizzly that had gone into the cabin to get some food. Ripping open, the flour -bags, he had dusted .the flour over his sides until he looked like a ghost in the dim cabin light; Stories like that have given the bear a reputation for being a danger- ous, ferocious animal that will attack without warning and without provo- cation, says Mr. -David, discussing Bruin with special reference to his :warlike tendencies. Continuing: Few people realize that a. hear 'which attacks a man undoubtedly thinks he is cornered and has to fight his way Out, So laws are passed which permit the bear to be shot In any number and at any time or the year—with the result that,the grizzly which once ruied the mountain forests of the great Northwest .may soon. be extinct in Canada. Although California has the graven image of a grizzly on its State shield, (there is not one of those wondertul animals left at large in that whole huge State. And, according to a re- cent census by forest rangers, there are only about five grizzlies in the State of Washington, In Oregon there Iwas only one grizzly whose nose was 'counted in the last wild -animal census of the United States Department of ;Agriculture—and near -by States could not boast many more.

Then pressure is brought upon the legislators, and the law is changed so that anybody eau kill all the bears he chooses. Regarding the ferociousness of the grizzly bear, there is a'gieat diver gence of opinion, 1VIr. David concedes. Field and Stream, he recalls, pets the Question, "Will a; grizzly bear 'attack Without provocation?" to leading sportsmen, hunters, rangers and : na- tu'alists. Tho general conclusion niay be summed up rather accurately by the remarks of Frank Dufresne, who has travelled extensively is Alas- ka." He said, as quoted by Ithe Her- ald Tribune: ' ' If left strictly alone, and avoided by as widea marginas possible, the grizzly will attack only on rare 000a-. signs. If proper respect isnot shown, he will attack once in a while, If niet unawares on a sharp turn in the trail or at his kf11,' lee will attack a little' oftener than once in a while, and if surprised on his own beaters trails' through the bush, or wounded; he will attack. .Sometimes' you can stare a grizzly out of countenance. I was climbing a steep trail along the rim of a canyon that,dropped sheer away for a' thous- and feet, The path threaded along the top of this big drop, sometimes within a few inches of the edge; and I had to watch my -Steps pretty close, for in some places the bank had crum- pled up a little. Just ahead the trail swung in where a rock castle hung on the edge of the canyon. .As I came to the turn in the trail, au old female grizzly stepped into sight from behind a rock, not ever fifteen feet away. She 3ose slow - 4y to her hind feet, holding me stead- ily in her eye while R slipped• my rifle into position and pressed dower the hammer. , Her lips drew back and showed me a pretty set of teeth, but she did not come for 'me. One yard behind me yawned the -canyon's edge. I held off firing because 1 was afraid I could not finish Ler oft before she reached., me. We stood there like a couple oR statues for ten minutes, I guess, Once or twice she turned her head a bit, but her eyes never tett nine, and she made me feel that she knew she had the advantage of me, Finally she dropped on her four feet, turning as the did so, and slipped out of sight behind the rocks. The second she disappeared I ran down the steep trail for a hundred yards or so, Time I worked around the slope to where I could get a view of the other side of the molts. Nearly a mile away and tearing for all she was worth was the old grizzly, aad with her were two spring cube! She had stood and bluffed me at the rocks just long enough for heir cubs to make their getaway down the other side of the mountain, ' .A Mother's Anxiety About Her Delicate Daughter "Site seems to be fading away," said an anxious mother recently about her daughter.

Cages for .Oysters Through • the oyster la not exactly feroetous, it has been foltnd.necessary to design cages for hint. The. reason for this is that the young oyster Is such an irresponsible little 'tallow. Microscopic ie size, ;the newly - hatched oyster—or shat, as he is call- ed—is able to swim about quite freely. Not for some time does he drop down to the bottom and auction himself to a stone. And it he happens to 'drop on to a place where there are no stones, Inc is at the mercy of currents and tides which sweep him out to sea, where all kinds of enemies are wait- ing fox, him, Owners of oyster beds aro now mak- ing use of cages which look rather like eggboxes, These contain. num- bers of cardboard partitiong,whieh aro dipped is a special :cement -like com- pound. Hundreds of these crates are placed upon the beds, and when the oyster spat faits they provide just the vesting place required. As Many as 1,600 oysterlets have been found at- tached to one compartment ofe crate, and as there are twenty-five compete - smuts in each the total 'Population may be considerable. At tho end of a certain number of days the cement dissolves and the young oyster is able to detach himself and sit down permanently upon some- thing solid in the neighborhood,— "Tit-Bits."

In ' 'that period its cots were occupied by nearly 7,000 small patients, most of whom were restored, or are well upon Me way to recovery now. an enormous amount of good is being accomplished for Ontario's many "Sick Kids," find . by passing this lntormation along to the_ good-hearted people your news- paper serves you will interest them and et the same time be instrumental in promoting the tlontinuance •.of this, humane service. It is a gigantic under- taking and,the hospital needs every bit. 'et help it can get. Please note the following official fig- ures for theyear which ended Septem-. ber 30, 1930, indicating the magnitude and rabid expansion of this mission of mercy. Total number 01 cot patlenta !n year, 6,070; an increase of 377 over the previous year; actual number of ;patient days, 132,718, an increase of 1.1,501; average days' stay ot all patients 19. These figures include' the wonder- • lid country hospital at Thlstlatown, where the year's total of patient days ;was 34,670 and the daily average 101. In addition to this, the out-patient de- partment, at the main hospital, had 68,706 attendances within the year, the largest number of patients -tiara= In s single day being 317. t The little sufferers who are minis- tered to in the Hospital for Sick Chil- dren Come from all over the Province • •of Ontario. Through this magnificent Institution for healing, the very poor child has an equal advantage with the very rich in securing the benefit of the 'finest enema medical and surgical skill. :There are no airings to admittance of :the child requiring hospital care, Rade, !creed or circumstances In life make no dtfterenge.
