BEAR IN ZOO BATS £SO. A lady visitor to the Scottish Zoological Gardens in Edinburgh recently had the misfortune to drop her bag into the pond in the Polar bear enclosure.

Before anybody could intervene the destruction was complete, and the bear retired to his lair, apparently well satisfied with his very expensive meal.
