Coast Guard snowmobile seat tastes fine to bear POINT BARROW, Alaska (AP) - What do you feed a visiting polar bear when it drops by your ice floe? A snowmobile seat will do if nothing else is handy, the Coast Guard says. Scientists from the Seattlebased Coast Guard icebreaker Polar Sea had left their ship and were conducting ice studies Thursday near Point Barrow in the Arctic Ocean when a polar bear rambled into their temporary camp and started gnawing on the seat of the snowmobile. The scientists fired warning shots, flares, blew whistles and shouted through bullhorns. But the bear finished the seat and munched on miscellaneous other gear before departing unharmed, according to Ed Moreth, a Coast Guard spokesman in Seattle. Moreth was unable to say precisely what the snowmobile seat was made of, but did say the vehicle remained operable - though a bit ragged.

Paper fatal to Napolean? LONDON (AP) - Napolean may have been poisoned by the arsenic-laced green wallpaper in his exile home on St. Helena, a British chemist claims. Suspiciously large amounts of arsenic have been found in locks of Napolean's hair, and Dr. David Jones reported in this week's New Scientist magazine that arsenic was also found in a recently discovered piece of wallpaper taken from the room where he died in May 1821. Jones, a lecturer in the physical chemistry department of the University of Newcastleupon-Tyne, said that in the 1800s, a cheap pigment made of copper arsenite was commonly used in green paints, wallpapers and fabrics. It was not until later in the 19th century, after hundreds of people had died from arsenic poisoning, that copper arsenite was abandoned and safer organic green pigments were introduced, he said. Jones said it appears that copper arsenite was used in the wallpaper at Longwood House, Napolean's home-in-exile following his surrender to the British at Waterloo in June 1815. The arsenic from the wallpaper is not released unless it becomes wet and develops mold, but Jones said that Longwood House was a damp wooden building. British paying for papal visit LONDON (AP) - More than four months after Pope John Paul II's historic trip to Britain, the British Catholic Church is still paying the tab of $10.6 million, a church spokesman said. Slow souvenir sales are partly blamed for the church's lagging efforts to pay for last May's six-day papal visit, said an executive of the marketing firm International Management Group employed by the church. "The visit was certainly not as financially successful as hope," Jeremy Palmer-Thompkinson said Wednesday, referring to sales of 250 items raning from a 45-cent shopping bag to a platinum commemorative medallion going for the equivalent of $2,250. More than 100 Sunday newspapers began publication during the last five years. Tankers may haul fresh water MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) - Supertankers idled by the world oil glut and global energy conservation may find a new use ferrying fresh water to the parched Persian Gulf region. The tankers could bring at least the equivalent of 1.2 billion tons of fresh water annually to the largely desert gulf region, says a study prepared by oil ministers.
