The experts In the different branches
Of the sciences are now pretty well
agreed that there are several species Of
fish. reptiles and insects which never
sleep during their stay In this world.
Among the fish II is now positively
known that the pike. the salmon and
the goldfish never sleep at all Also
that there are several others Of the fish
family that never sleep more than a
few minutes during a month. and
which take no rest whatever during the
breeding season. There are dozens OF
species OF flies mostly tropical which
never indulge in slumber. and from
three to five species OF serpents on each
OF the continents which the naturalists
have never yet been able to catch nap
ping.
Some years ago a theory founded on
the observations OF Leuwenhoek. Sir
John Lubbock and others was TO the
effect that the ant is another Of the in
sects that are never caught asleep. AT
that time Qs74) the result of these OBJ
servations excited considerable COM
ment, and II was declared TO be the
only exception known in the animal
world to the general rule that sleep :
a necessary consequence Of labor"
More extended observations. however,
have proven that there are several ex-
ceptions TO the general rule OF periodical
slumber in the animal creation.-St
