The third theory is that III perfect sleep
there is little or no dreaming. This is
supported by various considerations. The
natural presumption is that the object of
sleep is to give rest, and that perfect
sleep would imply the cessation of brain
ton; and it is found that ''the more
continuous and uninterrupted is our
dreaming, the less refreshing is our sleep. {"
Recent experiments of great interest
appear to confirm this view. The effect
Of stimuli, whether Of sound, touch,
smell, sight or hearing, in modifying
the dreams without awaking the
sleeper-or in awaking him-all point
in The same direction; and though
tx 4e is always some sense Of time when
awaking, which proves that the mind
has to some extent been occupied, in the
soundest sleep, it is SO slight as to seem
as if the person had just lain down,
though many hours may have passed.
Whereas, just in proportion as the dreams
are remembered, or as the fact Of dream
ing can be shown by any method, is the
sense of time the longer. l do not speak
of the heavy, dull sleep which, with
out apparent dreams, results from
plethora, or sometimes accompanies an
overloaded stomach, or is the result of
or occasionally super.
venes after protracted vigils, but of the
very sound sleep enjoyed by the working
classes when in health, or by vigorous
children.-Rev. j. NJ. Buckley in The

a Primitive Russian Bath.

The Russian bath, as you are probably
aware, is vapor bath and is intended
more particularly to reach the mucous
membranes of our bodies, that is as it is
given in this country. The Russian
bath proper is not the luxury that the
Turks make of it. They are necessity
to the inhabitants of the country and are
given in rude wooden building, where
the necessary vapor is secured by throw
ing water upon glowing hot pebbles. An
atmosphere of 140 degs. can easily be got
in this manner, and after pcrspiring
freely for a time and whipping themselves
with small twigs the bathers will go
out and plunge into the ice cold river or
roll in the snow. In this country, how
ever, the Russian bath is a large room,
kept filed with q continuous flow of
steam and having within its confines a
very cold plunge. AS a rule, it is an ad-
junct to first class Turkish baths.

forty Of my years ago, II was univer-
sally believed that tobacco smoke
was n prophy!actic against fever.
Nurses smoked at the bedside Of fever
patients, and friends were called in
to takoa hygienic pipe in the sick
room. The superstition has been dis
Bipated by the known results OF care
ful scientific investigation. 1t has,
however, been revived in Florida,
by the reported fact that not a single
eigarmaker has been attacked by vel.
low fever throughout the course of
the epidemic which has ravaged
Jacksonville 50 terribly. The ply
slcians there, we are told, recommend
tobacco smoking as a preventive,
even women being advised to take
an occasional cigarette as a precau-
tionary measure. This will prove
pleasant doctrine to smokers, who
will naturally argue that the greater
includes the less, and if tobacco will
keep away the infection of yellow
fever, 1t will serve preventive of
other minor maladies as well. SO it
Will. IT'S fear kills more than infec-
ton, and in a believers mouth pipe
may be an antidote to fear.

BREATHING UNDER WATER.
An Explanation of Famous Divers
Remarkable Feat.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
The length of time during which per-
son can live under water without the aid
of any diving apparatus is question in
dispute among scientific men. Some trav-
elers have told marvellous stories of the ma
tives of Eastern countries who were able to
water, but there can be no doubt tha6
these are absurd exaggerations. 1t is well
known that the ordinary divers for coral,
sponge, and pearl oysters do not remain I'M
der more than two minutes, and the men
fish, who exhibit in the museums do not ex-
coed two minutes and half
The doctors differ in their opinion as TO
the time at which death comes in drown
ing. Some say in three minutes, others in
five, but none set longer time than this,
except the drowning persons faint, when
respiration ceases.
A Frenchman, named Lacassagne, has
been for some time studying this subject,
and the results of his experiments and OBJ
servations are given in the Revue Sciere-
tifoue The man upon whom he expert
mented was a famous Hungarian swimmer
named James, who, among other exploits,
once swan from Calais to Dover, and had
remained under water for four minutes and
fourteen seconds.
Before diving, it was observed he first ex-
pelled all the air from his lungs and then
took a long breath. After he had been I'M
der water for minute his heart beats be-
came slow, irregular and feeble. After two
minutes and thirty-seven seconds there was
a rush of blood to the head and his eyes APP
reared sunken. Still he continued to
breathe amply and regularly at the rate of
twenty respirations a minute, while at the
same time the observer noticed that the
abdominal cavity diminished greatly in
size.
NJ. Lacassagne believes from this, and
from the fact that James was continually
swallowing his saliva, that, in drawing the
ordinary respiratory channels being closed,
he takes into his lungs the air contained in
his stomach, and from thence again taken,
somewhat purified, into his lungs. That is,
in other words, he makes of his stomach a
reservoir for air, a fact which if true,i will
account for his ability to remain for such
an extraordinary time under water. This
process. which the diver performs instinct
lively and mechanically, NJ. Lacassagne
believe can and should be learned by all
swimmers, as giving them far greater en-
durance under the surface than they now
