that was what had caused the fight.

ENGLISH IN NORWAY.

In the board schools of Norway, in
addition to the three IS, tho elements
of physiology and of physical science
are taught, rs is also one or more of
the modern languages. OF these of
late years English has become the
favorite. 1t is the language most COM
monty taught in the primary schools
1t has the foremost place on the mod
ern side OF the secondary, or grammar,
schools. which are planted in all the
considerable towns, and which are often
the recipients of large private endow-
mcnts. Sir Charles Dixie, In his "Great-
er Br thin. predicts that a few centuries
hence English will be the universal
language. Perhaps this vaticination ia
overbold; but modest prophet may al
least suggest, as a high probability,
that In the year POOL, Norway will
have become bi-lingual. and that the
English will be as commonly spoken
there rs in Wales or in the Highlands.
Education, it appears, from what has
been said above, is well attended to in
the western half of the Scandinavian
peninsula. Even into its most noun
famous and sparcely peopled regions
the schoolmaster penetrates. In these
regions he.itinerates, teaching in rota-
ton for week or two at a time during
the winter and spring at each of sever
al farms or hamlets. ! do not suppose
that English is taught by these timer
ant instructors of youth: but little
English is picked up by their ex-pupils
(turned post-boys) from tourists, a lit
tie more by ghillies, or their Norwc-
gian analogues. from sportsmen who
have spent long summers in their COM
pany; more still by farmers returned
from heightened sojourns in the Ameri-
can back woods or prairies. Thus En-
glish speech is slowly but surely max
ing its way even into the remoter cor
ners of Norway.-Corrcspondem Glas-

Measuring the Depth of Slesp,

Two of Nierodt's pupils. Monninghoff
and Piesbergen, have made the depth
of sleep the subject of an investigation.
They worked upon the principle that
the depth of sleep is proportional to the
strength of the sensory stimulus neces-
sary to awaken the sleeper. that is to
call forth some decisive sign Of awak-
ened consciousness. As Il sensory sti-
mulus they made use of the auditory
sensation produced by dropping lead
ball from a given height. The strength
of the stimulus WAS rcckoned, ia accor-
dance with some recent Investigations
Of Nierodt, as increasing. NOT directly
us the height, but as the 0.5O power Of
the height. For perfectly healthy
man. the curve which they give shows
that for the first hour the slumber is
very light, after one hour and fifteen
minutes the depth Of sleep increases
rapidly and reaches its maximum point
at one hour and forty-tive minutes;
the curve then falls quickly to about
Two hours and fifteen minutes, and
afterward more gradually. At about
four hours thirty minutes, there is a
second small rise which reaches its
maximum at five hours thirty minutes,
after which the curve again gradually
approaches the base line until the time
of awakening. Experiments made
upon persons not perfectly healthy, or
after having made exertion. gave curves
of different form. -Scicncc.
