when the house of Bethlehem. occu-

the insane in the early part of the six

then prevalent, it was necessary to
brighten the patient out of his lunacy.
All sorts of awful eXpedientS were re-

THEY SLEEP HANGING UP.
SlothI and Bats Suspend Themselves
without E1ertion.


There is one animal which lives en-
| tiTely in trees, but Is able to maintain
! its position during slumber without the
least exercise of muscular force. This
| is the slOth. common in the forests of
| tropical America. Its long claws are so
| bent that they hook over the branches
| and allow the creature to hang upside
down like an animated hammock. Gu
| riOuSly enough, the hammock appears
| to be n South American invention and
is universally employed by all the In
dian tribes of the Amazons. Perhaps
the primitive human jewellers in this
| region took to sleeping in hammockS
| after observing the habits of the sloth.
The great ant eater, which is both a
kinsman and fellow cOuntryman of the
sloth, has an enormous tail, which it
uses in 4 very remarkable manner.
recently saw two of these strange ami
mails lying together asleep, and they
had arranged their tails so cleverly
that their whole bodies were hidden
from view. Moreover, it was evident
that this caudal covering would afford
excellent protection from the weather.

highest part of the sleepers' bodies. SO
that the long frinGes of hair sloped
downward on each side like the thatch
upon a roof.
Like the sloths, many kinds of bats
sleep suspended by their hooked claws
without any muscular eXertiOn what
ever. Some of the large fruit eating
bats of the tropics. which do not sleep
in holes like the species common in
southern ATTITUDES. but which hang SuS-
pended to the branches of trees in the
open air. adopt a position which it
would be difficult to beat for economy
and comfort. Gould'S fruit eating bat.
common in the warmer parts of Aus

one hind foot and wraps its body in the
tentlike folds of it's wing membranes,
which extend right down to the an

brane is attached. are bumped up so as
TO act as caves to shoot off the rain.
and when asleep it draws its head I'M
