FISH TAKE NAPS AFTER MEALS,
BUT LIDLESS EYES STAY OPEN

ment They have been observed in
the daytime and at night and officials
of the bureau believe these periods of
rest come most frequently after meal
time.
AS to deep sea fish, the bureau has
observed similar actions in both the
larger and smaller fish. Sharks, when
they lie just under the surface of the
water. summing themselves, probably
pass into a state of sleep. although
| their faculties are still alert. Whales
are classed as mammals, but have
do sleep. Their eyes are lidless and do
the surface of the ocean.
There appears to be no doubt, ac-
cOrding to Deputy Commissioner of
Fisheries Radcliffe, that the prepop-
derance of evidence indicates that fish
do sleep. Their eyes ar lidless and do
not close when animation is suspend
ed. but nevertheless they have a Pc
riod of rest

o'clock to map out tentative plans.
Miss Olive NJ. Jones, president of the
association, who conceived the idea

Do fish sleep? /

Do fish sleep?
They do, says the bureau of fish
cries, and, moreover, sleep well, with
out closing their eyes. The sleep of
fish is a type of suspended animation,
during which some of the faculties of
the finny tribe are at rest with their
bodies.
But the sleep or state of suspended
animation of fish is by no means like
the deep sleep of q human being. A
fish asleep may be Jared into instant
action, with all his faculties alert and
responsive, by n sudden motion of the
water or jar of the bank of n stream
or lake.
The bureau is satisfied that aqua
rum fish ut least have period of
rest, in which they lie on the bottom

urged to be present at this fight, "
said Commander Lane, "and we
want it distinctly understood that
this is first class boxing program.
We regret that we did not deem it
advisable to incur an additional ex.
pense. of $100 to procure the Ry-

not be discredited because it is
presented at the old A L. /. Arm

Everything has been arranged
for the comfort of our patrons, and
we assure all who attend a fest

National Bureau of Econamic
Research Announces Latest
Population Figures
1852, 900 ADDED IN 1923
Improved Estimating Methods
Developed By Bureau Used
to Arrive At Conclusions

NEW YORK, June 16.-The
population of the United states to-
tailed 112,826,OOO on Jan. l, 1924
according to estimates announced
today by the National Bureau Of
Economic Research. This COM
pares with 11O,883,OOO on Jan. 1,
1923, and the census count of 1885,
'711,000 on Jan. /, 1920.
The most remarkable gain was
recorded in the last half of 1929,
the net increase being 100000 q
greater growth than in any other
half year during the last tw ode
cades, and probably greater than
any six months period IN the ma
TONS history. The gain for the
entire year was 1,943,O00.
The Bureau estimates the popu-
lation of the Continental United
States for each half year since Jan.
/, 1920, to have been approxi-
mately as follows:
