The most expensive animal to keep in captivity is the walrus. The food bill for a full-grown walrus is £4OO a year, or as much as will feed three elephants. The bridge crossing tho Seine at St. Tierre du Vauefay is built of concrete. From end to end the span 'is 432 ft —tho longest bridge of the kind in tho world. Five bottles of beer, two bottles of water, and one of spirits, with five razors, were found in tho pockets of a man charged at Croydon, London, with begging.
