Sleep and Death.

The relationship between sleep, "the
cousin of DEATH" and death itself, is
probably real as well as apparent. The
distance which separates them is great,
but there are intermediate conditions,
grades of dissolutions as of develop
ment. Among these the similar states
of trance and Information are worthy of
special notice. For sleep and for
trance, one cause, the exhaustion chiefly
Of the nervous matter. but more or less
of every organa and tissue, is assignable.
The hysterical stupor is the sleep of
nerve centers worn out with the assault
and conflict Of stormy reflex action.
Healthy sleep is the rest of physical ele-
ments wearied with the same strain ap-
piled more gradually.
Cases have been recorded in which
s~omnolence, continuing for days with
out cessation, has resembled trance in
its duration, while preserving all the
ordinary features Of natural sleep. Va
rious facts support us in associating hi
bernation with the train of organic or
functional changes as the other uncon-
scious states which we have been con-
sidering. 1t ZONES like a habit; it has,
one ms say, annual return; its appa-
rent cause is the oppression of external
cold, and the animals it affects are
mostly those which, from their bodily
structure OF habits, are subject to great
periodic variations OF temperature. vi
tai tissue is exhausted and function is
in part suspended, probably because the
numbness Of cold has taken hold upon
the raIic1as of the outward circulation
and Of that of the brain surface which
is connected with it by numerous n a
tomoses. In such a case anania would
seem to be the cause Of the winter
sleep, as there is evidence to show that
it is also the cause Of that temporary
starvation Of brain which lulls without
~arresting its action in the natural repose
Of each night.
We may even regard the lethargy
ended by death, into which a man falls
when exposed to great cold, as short
and u1srtal Information. The same In
