Facts Concerning Dreams.

A French physician, Dr. Delauney,
tells some interesting facts about
dreams. These are embodied in q COM
munication to the Societe de Biologie
OF Paris. It is we'll known, that when
q person is lying down, the blood flows
most easily to the brain. That is why
some OF the ancient philosophers work.
ed out their thoughts In bed. Certain
modern thinkers have initiated this
queer method Of industry. During
sleep, so long as the head is laid low,
dreams take the place of coherent
thoughts.
There are, however, different sorts
Of dreams; and DR.. Delauney's purpose,
In his original communication, is to
show that the manner Of lying brings
on particular kind of dream. Thus,
according to this investigator, uneasy
and disagreeable dreams accompany
lying upon the back. This fact Is ex-
plained by tie connection which is
known to exist between the organs of
sensation and the posterior part of the
brain.
The ..most general method of lying,
perhaps, is on the right side and this
appears TO be also the most natural
method, lfor many persons object to
lying upon the side Of the heart, which
It has been more than once asserted,
should have free action during sleep.
Nevertheless, d. Delauney's statements
hardly harmonic with this opinion.
When one sleeps on the right side, that
Is to say, upon the right side OF the
brain. ones dreams have marked and
rather unpleasant characteristics. Those
characteristics, however, are essential
II those which entel into the popular
definition OF dreams. Ones dreams
are then apt to be illogical, absurd,
childish, uncertain, incoherent. full Of
vivacity and exaggeration. Dreams
which come from sleeping on the right
side are. I'm snort, simpls deception
They bring to mind very old and faint
remembrances. and they are often ac-
companied by nightmares. DR.. De-
launey points out that sleepers fire.
quently compose verses or rythmical
language while they are lying on the
right side. This verse though at times
correct enough, is absolutely without
sense. The moral faculties are then
ut work. but the intellectual faculties
are absent. 31I1 I5ss
On the other hand, when a person
slumbers on the left brain, his dreams
are not only less absurd. but they may
also be intelligent. They are, as a rule
concerned with recent things, not with
"reminiscences. And, since the faculty
OF articulated language is found in the
left side. the words uttered during such
dreams are frequently comprehensive.

SECRET Mails in India.
ATLANTA Constitution

In a recent issue, The London Spectator
has an article on the mysterious methods
of conveying news employed by the ma
tives of India Just what these methods
are no Anglo Indian has ever been able to
discover, but they enable the natives to
forestall the government in the transmits
sion of important news During the In
dian mutiny, information in regard to all
the imrci tant events was in possession of
the bazaars hours and days before 1t
reached the government, Notwithstanding
the fact that the latter often took special
measures to insure the rapid transmission
of the news The natives themselves
place implicit confidence in the news car
ried by the secret mail, and do not hest
tate to act upon it.
The Spectator suggests the employment
of carefully laid "stages, but no Eu-
ropean has ever seen "stagc" in opera
ton or discovered any of It's machinery.
If runners are employed, the fact has
never been disclosed-and yet the news
has been transmitted on a scale so large
that any ordinary method must have In
evitably been discovered On one occa
sion, when the government had made spe
cial arrangements for the transmission Of
news, the secret mail beat the government
horses and carriers twelve hours. The
natives of India, when they can be pre-
vailed on to talk about the matter, say
that the secret mail is based on q system
of thought transmission, which is as ia
miliar 10 them as the electric telegraph /:
to Eul .peanS.
