The Seaforth News, 1929-10-31, Page 3The Vanishing Black Bear No`ve1 Culinary Creation By W, S. LONG One or the commonest; beet known, and'' least understood of tho North American animals is the ordinary Meek bear. Most of the stories told a the bears aro untrue, for they are usually pictured as ferocious beasts, really to attack elan with ne provoce- tion wbatev,car. As Is usually the ease with„fiinture stories" this is ab-. solutely untrue, One hundred and fifty years ago black bears might have been grouchy beasts; for they were larger then, and had not been taught the lesson of the white ma'n's gun—that discretion is the bettor part of valor, They had little to fear from the arrows of the red man. Now, however, their numbers have been greatly decimated by the hun- ters and the clearing of the forests, so that they are extinct over a greet, part of their former range. Those emaining have a wholesome fear of man, and flee at the first sign of the arch -enemy, Bears are powerful beasts and when aroused makefear- ful antagonists, but unless wounded, cornered, or in defense of their young, seldom show flgbt. Hears are usually classed as carni voroue, They will eat meat, -fish, berries and even carrion. They are extremely fond' of sweets of a}1 kinds, robbing every bee' tree they can break into, and often raiding lumber camps for the syrup and sugar to be bad there. They are fond of pork, and often raid farmers' pig -pens, One of the most curious and. Intel,' eating habits of the bears is. that of hibernation. They are the only large American mammals which habitually choose a warm den an (bleep away the cold winter months, The length of the death -like coma is from three to six months, depending upon the winter. Contrary to public opinion,. the bears do not emerge .ren this `'long sleep ravenous, devouring.. emaciated beasts, but ingood condi- tion. Bears probably do not oat much immediately atter cowing' out in the spring, for examination ham shown that the stomach is commonly shrunken until it would ilo well to hold a goodsized rat. In this winter den the two or throe young are born, and by the time warm weather comes aro able to fol- low their mother in search of food. In this connection it is interesting to observe that the black bear has two color phases, Sometimes an old she - bear will be followed by one black and one brown cub. In Alaska there is a color phase which is bluish gray. Some naturalists call it the glacier bear, and say it is a new species be- ing formed by old Mother Nature. Time alone will tell about this, but in both these color phases the black bear is the parent species. Bears are usually nocturnal animals, that is, they sleep by day and roam about at night. However, in seotions of the country where they are unmo- lested they often wander about by day. Bear cubs are often captured and make very interesting pets, but are a nuisance because it is impossible to keep them out of things withouta chain. They are so insatiably curi- ous that they must investigate every- thing they canreacb. I think, in this respect, they are even worse than monkeys. It is a sad fact that in most parts of the country bears are rapidly be- ing killed off. Unless they are given protection they will ultimately be- come entirely extinct. The cutting off of the forests for Yarm land, and the fact that a bearskin rug is a tro- phy to be proud -of; is fast spelling the end. If given protection part of the year they respond nobly, as proved by the experience of Pennsylvania and some other states, where the black bears roam in greater numbers than ever before. In Yellowstone National Park, where they are given complete protection, they will eat from the human band: It is only hunt- ing and persecution that make ani- mals fear man,—Our Dumb Animals.

Sball there be encouragement to love and tender- ness toward all those creatures that seam so completely at the mercy of mankind?

Who's Who in Holy Land is the Hard Question to Decide A HEAVY LOAD The outburst of racial and religious fury in Palestine startled all section of the British press and inspired some, of them to question whether the Bri- tish Government is administering the Palestine mandate competently or, in- deed, whether England ought ever to have accepted the mandato. It le not surprising that Jews in all parte of the world should bitterly reproach Great Britain, remarks the London Daily Chronicle, for having failed to take adequate steps in advance to pro- tect the lives and property of the in- habitants in the event of disorders. The authorities on the spot were either 111 -informed, this newspaper adds, or they neglected their informa- tion. The conclusion the ordinary per- son will draw from this tragic affair, it is further stated, is that the Pales- tine Government bas been living re- cently in a fool's paradise. The Palos - tine gendarmerie was brought to an end in 1926, it is recalled, and re- placed by the mixed police force re- cruited from Arabs and Jews. In re- cent years the country west of the Jordan has been completely denuded merely nonsense; it is dangerous non- sense. We are committed by an ex- plicit and solemn pledge. However much we may dislike the job, we must go en with it, or submit to the deri- sive condemnation of the civilized world," ' It is within the power of Ibn Saud, King of the }Iejaz, to keep the peace er to break it, The Daily News as- serts, for he exercises an immense In. fluene over a wide expanse of Arab territory, He is described as a reit' gime eutbusiast with a magnetic per- sonality, who is commonly said to be well-dieposed toward. Groat Britain, But, we aro told: "There are a number of acute prob- lems still outstanding between him and the British Government—not least the British methods of defending the. Irak frontier—and the complete fail- ure of Sir Gilbert Clayton's mission last year to liquidate these questions bas never been satisfactorily explain- ed. Ibn Saud was both aggrieved and alarmed at the breakdown of the ne- gotiations. 'Until a settlement has been reached we shall not regain his good -will. Yet it is true, that Ibn Saud remains the only indigenous ele- ment of genuine stability in modern Arabia. 'To come toanro er under- standing with Ibn Saud would be to reduce our task In Palestine and to remove a far-reaching menace" But the root of the whole trouble was planted, thinks the London Daily Mai], when the Coalition Government embarked on the "futile and perilous" policy of attempting to make Pales- tine "a national home" for the Jews. Against this "stupid and mischievous enterprise" The Daily Mail claims tbat it has protested for years, and also that it has shown from the out- set that the undertaking was "unjust, dangerous, and dishonorable," besides imposing a superfluous and intoler- able burden upon the British taxpay- er. This newspaper also declares that the "foolish mandate" runs counter to Britain's pledge at the close of the war to give Palestine a government based "on the free choice of the na- tive population.

Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which by regulat- ing the bowels and stomach banish constipation and indigestion; break up colds and simple fevers and pro- mote healthy, natural sleep. Con- cerning them, Mrs. Isaac Sonia, St. Eugene, Ont., writes:—"I bave been using Baby's Own Tablets ever since baby was a month old and have. found that they reach the apo° and do more good than any other medicine I have ever tried. I always keep the Tab- lets in the bowie and would advise all other mothers to do so."

The particular article was written not by the Professor, but, as it happened, by John Gibson Lock- hart, who described the verses as a translation just received from a friend in Upper Canada of a boat- man's song in Gaelic which he had heard on the St. Lawrence. The first euggestion that the poem had another origin was made in 1849, when in an article In Tait's "Edin- burgh Magazine" on the prosal enough subject of "Employment or Emigra- tion," the writer, Donald Campbell, at- tributed the authorship of the poem to the twelfth Earl of Eglinton, who had a high opinion of the loyalty and bravery o fthe Canadian }Iighlanders, and had left a "translation of one of their boat -songs among his papers, set to music by his own band." The Rev. Dr. Norman Macleod, who, perhaps, did most to popularize the poem, althougb, like Robert Louis Stevenson in "Tho Savored() Squat- ters" and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain in his famous Inverness speech, he badly misquoted it, attributed the author- ship to Pro'fesor Wilson. Authorship has also been attributed to John Gib- son Lockhart; John Galt, the Ayrshire novelist and author of "Annals of the Parish;" James Hog, the "I!ittrick Shepherd;" and even Sir Walter Scott.
