' Their den has a-very large swimming pool and is the finest ia the whiole pet of bears’ dams. The first four bears’ dens and the eight dens for welves and foxes cost about $0,000. The food of. the bears consists of -fsh, fal meat and stale bread. Oue of the polars named Bingaro, after having .beea for some little time in his nsw quarters, be- came listiess -and seemed to-be in danger of sinking intp chromic - melancholla—a condition. that oftan proves fatal to large animals in captivity. In such a case, un- less something is done to give the animal & fresh interest in life; he is likely to pine away and die, “At this crisis some one luckily remermbéred that polars in thelr native. regions are very fond of rolling round houlders on the ice. A large round stone was placed in the den. Bingaro and his mate began to roll it about.
