Winter Sleepers.

The bat. tortoise and dormouse are
counted among the best winter Sleep
ers. So deep is the lethargy of a
dormouse that If this little creature
Is awakened suddenly and put near a
FIRE his pulse beats so slowly that he is
llfeless in few minutes While asleep
he is kept alive by the surplus food
which he has eaten in the autumn
and which Is stored up in his body as
fat Frogs and toads are even sounder
sleepers and approach nearer to life
less condition In sleep than any other
animal life except certain fish. For
In them the heart stops beating and
breathing in the ordinary way is i'm.
possible During this time the breath
ing is carried on through the pores of
the skin. These strange cases of tor
por are also caused by lack of food
during bitter cold. For in countries
where excessive heat and drought pre-
vail there are numerous instances of
torpor that are quite as profound as
that exhibited by the winter sleepers.
