ANIMALS REST VARIOUS WAYS
While Standing Up-Sioth
SAUNDERS Upside Down.

Every kind Of position is used for
sleeping in the animal world.
The ordinary man sleeps either on
mis- right or his left side, with his
knees drawn up. When. however, he
has endured extreme fatigue or pro-
ionged pain a man may sleep In all
sorts of positions. Men have been OBJ
served to sleep when standing or walk
ing, when swimming the channel, or
driving a horse. or even when bound
to the stake.
Some animals, too, are able to sleep
while standing. A dog, especially when
old, may do 81 occasionally a horse
often does, while an elephant never
lies down to sleep.
L~ong-legged birds, such as storks
and gulls, have been observed to sleep
balanced on one leg. Most birds, how
eve sleep with their heads turned

round over their backs. Often their
beaks are hidden among the feathers
between the wing and the body. But
there are some curious exceptions to
this rule. The owl sleeps while sit
ting on a branch; while some Indian
parrots and bats sleep only when sus
pended from a tree.
A duck Is the most unconventional
Of all. This bird sleeps on the open
water, and during Its slumbers pad
dies itself with one foot In circles to
avoid drifting to the shore.
Even such a bulky animal rs the
sloth sleeps upside down, hanging by
Its our feet and with It's head tucked
between the forelegs.
The posture adopted by the do
nestle cat Is typical Of many other
animals. Foxes and wolves sleep
curled up with their noses and the
soles Of their feet all close together
and often covered by their tails.
Some animals sleep with their eyes
open. others with them closed. Nearly
all fish belong to the latter class, as
do also hares and snakes. Salmon and
gekfish are said never to sleep at all.

Ifyou want to know the history Of

everywhere the good saint went he
seems to have left his name behind
him. If he. sailed from certain
port or passed through a certain
town, or founded a church, or built
barn, or stood on a rock, or drank
out of well, the port, the town, the
church. the barn, the rock, and the
well We're all named after him. Hence
one can, trace the itinerary of his
earthly travels by the number of
places which bear, in s@ne form or
other, the name of Patrick, writes Mar
jorie Elaine Porter in the Detroit
News
meaning the cell or church of Pat
rick, in Dumbartonshire, Scotland.
where it Is assumed, by some histo-
rains, the saint was born. In spite of
the fact that the claim is disputed by
England, France and Wales, who also
declare themselves to be the mother
countries of st. Patrick, there are
arguments on Scotland's side worthy
Of consideration.
ST. Patrick's Confession.
One of the most foreeful is
the document called est. Patrick's
Confession" in which the saint wrote:
II, Patrick, a sinner, the rudest and
least of all the faithful, and most
contemplate to very many, had for
my father, Calpornius, a deacon, a son
of potitus, presbytr, who dwelt in
the village of Bannavem Taberniae,
for he had small farm hard by the
place"
After delving in the past, and in
vestigatIng the archives, the major
ity of scholars and historians now
agree in placing Bannayem Taberniae,
III Scotland, in the neighborhood Of
/ Dumbarton on the Clyde. Granting,
then, that st. Patrick celebrated his
first birthday in charlottesville, the
next place he lived. in accordance to
the map, was Fitzpatrick, the district
or division of Patrick, in Lanarkshire.
During this period of his career
he is said to have visited certain
rock near Inverness, which from that
time on was given the name of Crag-
phadrig, the. translation of which is
the rock Of Patrick Then later, he
founded two churches in this region,
one at Irongray in Kirkcudbright and
the other at Fleming in -DumfFies. OF
course each of these was named Kirk

Then he is supposed to have gone to

name Of Sarn-badrig, meaning Pat
