The Spanish missionaries gave {it this name because it is a_ great de- ! stroyer of nests of the wild bees. It has a long tongue with which it licks the honey out of the cells. This bear is_often kept in cages. % But the grizzly bear is the largest and most ferocious of alj the family. He is twice the size of the black bear. His feet are very large and are adapt- ' ed to digging up the ground, but he cannot climb trees as can his broth- ers and sisters. ' He lives about the Rocky mountains, where he reigns as much of a monarch as the lion is of sandy wastes of Africa. The Indians resatd him with great fear. He can endure many wounds and the hunter who falls to shoot him through the brain is often in great danger. CARRIE A. GELO, Age 12. Montvilie. Our School Picnic.
