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 1t is now positively
known that tue 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 tropicaD which
never indulge in slumber, and from
three to five species Of serpents on each

have never yet been able to catch nap

the observations of Leuwenhoek, Sir

by the professional Mrs. Milderberger.
He watched these little green oranges
from day to day, as they gradually
grew big and yellow in the sun. He
promised faithfully that he would not
pick any. but he had a notion that some
of them might drop off. He never
shook the trees, because he said he
would not. But he shook the stoOp! And
he hung about the bush, which he was
too honest to beat. One unusually
orange, which he had known
from its bud-hood, finally overcame
him. He did not pick it off, he did not
shake it off; he compromised with his
by lying fiat on his back and
biting off a piece of it. 1t was not
very good action, nor was 1t good
