W1LD-ANIMAL SLEEP.
Heavy, Peaceful slumber Of Lions
Tigers. and Bears Unmindful
Of Noise.

There is nothing odd or peculiar
about the sleep Of the lions and tigers.
In captivity they show the same indif-
ference to danger that they manifest
in the jungle. and by day or night will
slumber through an unusual tumult,
unmindful or unconscious of the noise.
Their sleep is commonly heavy and
peaceful, says the Penny Pictorial
Magazine.
Bears are also heavy sleepers, but
less disposed than lions and tigers to
slumber in the daytime. Grizzly bears
usually curl up under the rocks, but
sometimes they crawl up to the very
top of the rocks, and with front paws
| spread around the iron cage bars go
to sleep in what seems an uncomfort-
able position; but bears never release
their muscular grasp Of any object
when asleep. 80 Z
The black bears will curl up among
the branches Of tree when they have
the opportunity and go to sleep in
this peculiar position. The polar bears
show popularity in the selection of
their sleeping places. They choose one
particular corner Of the cage for the
purpose and invariably seek this out
for the nights rest. Sys fft5k 4.
The high-strung, nervous animals
are the most interesting to watch at
night. They usually belong ito the
hunted tribes, whose lives are in cor
slant danger in the forest, and they
possess such highly developed nerv-
GUS system that they really sleep
with one eye open. The slightest noise
will instantly awaken them.
The prairie wolves merely seem to
close their eyes for an instant and then
open them again to see II all is quiet.
Many vain attempts have been made to
pilot ograph, these animals by fash
light, and without exception the cam
era has revealed the fact that one
eye at least was partly open.
The day sleepers in the menageries
are for some reason the heaviest Sleep
ers of all, and when they close their
eyes in early morning they seem al
most as stupid as if drugged. This is
in nArkeds contrast TO the light night
sleepers, who, on the approach Of dan
ger. are instantly awake and on the
alert.

take our stand in the watch-tower,
and through the glass of inspiration
we look of and see whole

Salvation commands her, and all il

Hail, hail! Put of the black and put

Now the ship comes around the

These things say because I want
you to be alert. I want you to be
watching all these wonders unrolling

has classified them, whether calamit-

wider range of territory than any other

we give Sioux City Il wider advertise

"a line of carnival novelties, too-such
as return balls, balloons, rubbernecks
canes, etc, and expect to make Sioux

of goods" Mr.. Claypoole says it is a
freak line, but judging from the num-
Der of barrels, boxes and bags of con-
fctti packed ready for shipment it does
quite an extensive business. The fac
tory employees three people now, but as
the carnival season advances from
seven to ten will be employed.
