HOW DO WILD ANIMALS SLEEP?
Menaserie Expert With Barnum &
Bailey Rectes Some Facts.

How do different animals sleep?
According to John Patterson, super
intendent of the menagerie of the Bar
mum & Bailey circus, coming to Ard
more on October 6, no two different
species of animal sleep alike. When
a monkey gets ready to retire he picks
out the highest perch he can find,
but there's a reason. When the only
home Of the monkey was a forest, he
always lived in deadly fear of the lion,
and live monkey is dainty morsel
for the king Of beasts
The lioness, when free from family
cares, is prone to lie on her back,
with her legs stretched up straight in
the air and paws pendant Her mate
OF masculine persuasion. when the
excitement Of the day is over, stretch
es himself out fatty on his side.
Bears, who have no fear of man or
beast, sleep in any position that pleas
es their fancy, and the same is true Of
wolves. Animals of a cunning or cow
ardly nature. however, are always on
the alert. even when asleep. 4 seal
sleeps like human being. Il stretch
es out at full length and enters dream
land on its back stomach or side.
Once in a while a seal will sit up, with
its head bent down on its chest, fast
asleep IN the water.
Elephants sleep upright, like a
horse, and ftfully. They are keenly
alert to the slightest noise and are
quick TO sense thugs.
The menagerie department OF the
Barnum & Bailey circus has been
greatly enlarged this season and now
contains los dens OF wild animals, in
addition TO a herd OF Il elephants, 40
camels and a family or giraffes. Il Is
considered the largest and most com
plete travelling zoo in the world.
