miles in a single day. The camel is fur-nish-ed with ad-di-tion-al stomach, which serves as a res-er-voir, to hold greater quan-ti-ty of water than is needful for a present supp

In the e-ven-ing, when they arrive at some verdant sp they are per-mit-ted to feed at lib-er-ty, and will then eat much in one hour, as will supply them for twenty-four hou They are par-ti-cu-lar-ly fond of the thistle, the nettle, cassia, and other prickly ve-ge-ta-bles; and even prefer the to the most lux-u-riant pas-tur-age. The patience and cil-i-ty of the camel are very re-mark-a-ble. At the slight signal it bends its knees, and lies upon its belly, sufferi itself to be loaded in this po-si-tion; at a-no-ther sign, it ri with its load, and the driver being seated upon its ba en cou-rag-es it to proceed.

THE BEAR.

Or this an-i-mal there are three dif-fer-ent kinds, the bro bear of the Alps, the black bear of North A-mer-i-ca, a the great Greenland, or white bear. They have all the sa hab-i-tudes, and are all e-qual-ly car-niv-o-rous, treach-e-ro and cruel.

The brown bear is a savage and sol-i-ta-ry an-i-mal, quent-ly choosing for his abode some horrid chasm, or hollow of some e-nor-mous tree, in the most se-ques-ter part of the forest. There it retires alone, and passes so months of the winter without pro-vi-sions, or without e stirring abroad, seeming to subsist upon the ex-u-ber-ance its former flesh, and only feeling the calls of ap-pe-tite wh the fat it had ac-quir-ed in summer begins to be wasted aw

In Can-a-da, where the black bears are very common, a where their dens are made in trees that are hollow tow the top, they are taken by setting fire to their retreats, wh are often above thirty feet from the ground.

The white bear grows to above three times the size of more southern kindred, and remains un-dis-pu-ted master the icy mountains in Greenland and Spitz-ber-gen. It subs prin-ci-pal-ly upon fish, seals, and dead whales.
