Hihernailng Animals.

What we understand by the hibernat-
ing of animals ought not, strictly speak
ing, to be call cd hibcrnation, since it is
precisely analogous to that which is

call one winter sleep" and the other
"summer sleep" There seems 10 be
no essential difference between the two
states; nor is there, in the opinion Of
most authorities, any difference between
the ordinary sleep Of an animal anu it's

is more profound. II is a popular mis-
take to suppose that the winter sleep Of

The Farallone islands arc about thirty
miles from the mouth Of San Francisco
bay, and they are the home OF innumer-
able sea fowls. When San Francisco
first began TO be a city, its constant cry
was for eggs. To supply the lack Of
eggs, the project Of stealing those OF the
gulls and the muhrs Of the Farralloue
islands was undertaken, and IT proved
successful and has ever since been
maintained. The birds are too p!ent-
ful to count or to estimate, as NAV be
inferred from the fact that the egg
gatherers bring in often or used to
gather 500 dozsn in day and great
many OF the nests Re inaccessible,
while great many others are devastated
by the rivalry of the birds. The egg
season is from May to August, and, il
even 400 dozen is the rule. the har-
vest would be pretty near 500, 900 eggs.
The quarreling between the gulls and
the muhrs causes the loss OF good many
muhrs' eggs, which the Pulls at every
chance destroy. Tho egg business is
conducted by company, which has
the right. II pays egg gatberers
five cents a dozen, and sells them
in San Francisco al a considerable
advance.
