Beys HarpiT i Wet li ly It la necessary lo reraeiuber that lleep Is the rest of the bruin, and that the need of It will be In proportion lo the animal'i cerebral activity. Now the brain of a Bah li ridiculous ly small In relation to tbe actual size of tbe animal. It Is merely a double row of tiny protuberances, with a leaf like portion corresponding o the cer ebellum of other anlmala. Since they tiavf no little brain tissue, the waste to be repaired by sleep la alight among j Cubes. The result of careful experi ment has shown that among fresh wa ter fishes the roach, dace, gudgeon, carp, tench and minnow are known to lecp periodically, like !nnd animals; among marine fiBhes the wrasse, con ger eel, dory, dogfish, bass and all flat fish do the like, while the goldfish, j)!ke and angler fish never sleep, but rest periodically. Fish seem to have no preference for the night as their Bleeping time. A naturalist traveling from Constantinople to London In a mall schooner reported that one morn ing he noticed a pilot flab a few Inches from the side of the vessel, swimming o steadily that It seemed to be at tached to one particular spot All da long It remained there, neither advanc ing nor lagging behind, and so It hap pened for several days. Then came a gale of wind, and the vessel was sep arated from Its little companion. It -was evident that the fish could not bave slept during all this time, aa the vessel was sailing quite rapidly. Tbe captain, moreover, asserted that he bad known a pilot flub to accompany vessel thus for more than a fort night. England has suddenly awakened to realization of the fact that 95 per cent, of Canadian post graduate itu denti go to American or German uni versities to complete their education. Naturally she wonders why such a sit uation exists. Are not Oxford and Cambridge the equals of any foreign Institutions? They are. Indeed, but they take no iirtlcular pains to let any one know It. sayB the Boston Transcript Clinging to their old con servative traditions, they are about a century behind the rest of the world In the matter of pifbllclty. and have never been known to set forth the op portunities they ofer for advanced work. On the other hand, foreign uni versities not only adfertlse themselves extensively, but they even grant fel lowships to postgraduate students, often awarding them on the nomina tion of the college sending the stu dent Tbe report that a disease resembling trichina Is rife this year among the deer In northern Wisconsin is not like ly to whet the public's appetite for venison. If It co-operates with the came law In giving the deer a chance for their lives. It may be beneficial In two directions first in conserving the deer and second in reducing the mor tality among Wisconsin hunters, for the smaller the crowd of men with guns that goes Into the northern wood, tbe fewer will be the fatal accidents whose victims are human finings. In dians say that the disease now prevail ing among the deer broke out seventy winters ago, and killed many deer and many Indians. To make the flesh of deer harmless it should be well cooked. Eighty-nine people bave been killed end over h30 Injured In automobile ac cidents In New York city since the first of the year. It Is an appalling sacrifice to something which Is a lux ury not a necessity of life, and tbe more appalling since tbe majority of such accidents are avoidable It Is time that accidents-prevention, as well as fire prevention, be Introduced In all large communities, on the prin ciple that what Is avoidable, need not ciccur. While It Is very well that all reason able precautions should be taken to prevent the Fprend of rabies, It Is not St all desirable that the public should bo worked up Into a frenzy on the rubject F'or every authenticated case of rnbles there are scores and perhaps hundreds of cnes of nervous ness simulating the reputed symptoms of that dread disease, which.

AN IMMENSE LOSS IN TRADE British Government'! Decision Due To Opposition Of the Labor and Radical Members Of Parlia ment To American Trusts. Loudon. The British government has decided to exclude all the Ameri can meat packers against whom prose cutions have been Instituted In the United States from tendering for con tracts for the supply of meat to the British army und navy pending the settlement of the suits. Tbe agents In the British Isles of the prominent American meutpuckers, who have, up to now, secured largo government contracts for the supply of meats to the army and navy, have received the following, notification from the War Olllce: "Pending the ultimate result of the legal proceedings In the United States against certain meat-packing firms, It has been decided by the British gov ernment that none of the firms involv ed shall be Invited to tender for army supplies." The decision of the government Is due to the opposition of labor and ad vanced radical members of Parlia ment to the American trusts. The contracts given out by the War Office, which had hitherto been secur ed by American firms, are now expect ed to go to Argentina meat packers. It was explained by officials of the War Office that the government action vas In accordance with Its regular policy. In case any company with which the government dealt became Involved In serious litigations the gov ernment Immediately refrained from giving contracts to that company while the litigation continued. Brit ish firms received the same treatment under the same circumstances. There Is little doubt that the Ad miralty will follow In the same lines as the War Office. The War Office usually gives contracts for short terms Inviting monthly tenders from the con tractors, while the Admiralty usually asks for tenders for long periods. f OVER $15,000,000 A YEAR.
