Ben Frank!in'S MO1ev.
From the Electrical World,

From the Electrical World.
In 1890 will end the term of 100
years during which the cities ofBoston
and Philadelphia have each enjoyed
the revenue from a bequest of $4,000
made by Benjamin Franklin. The
money WAS to be loaned out to young
married artifcers, and the trust has
been executed, although the lapse of
the century requires a new disposition
OF the funds. It is significant that,
while in Boston the $4,000 has grown
to nearly 1928, 900, in Philadelphia
$4,000 has become only $4,000, and
that in both cases the amount is less
than Franklin. estimated it should be.
But, as the natural philosophers of
Franklin's day generally fell short Of
the sage in ingenuity, so, too. the
successive boards of trustees have
been far from equal to himin business
ability. 1t is interesting to note, how
ever, that the two funds still exist,
and that part of the Boston reserve
goes in the purchase OF a. public re-
creation ground to be known as
Franklin Park.

How to Lie When Asleep,

It is, on the whole, impossible to as
certain, either by experience or OBJ
servation, which is the posture mos5
conductive to sleep, and attempts to
lay down rules for the guidance of bad
sleepers are always arbitrary, general
ly empirical, and rarely Of any practi.
cal value.
Those who think ''anamia of the
cerebrum" is the cause of sleep, and
those who think that, though not the
cause, a diminution in the quantity of
blood in the vessels of the encephalon
is g. necessary concomltant OF sleep,
prefer and recommend that the head
should be higher than the feet; while
those who adopt the opposite view and
think passive congestion causes or pro-
notes somnolence, would have the
feet raised and the head lowered. The
confounding of stupor with sleep may
and probably has something to do
with these differences of opinion.
Meanwhile g. common-sense view OF
the subject would conclude that, as
there is evidently some change in the
blood state when the brain falls asleep,
the best plan must SCENT TO beto place
the body in such position that the
flow of blood through theyessels ofthe
head and neck may be especially easy
and free. The way to secure this is to
allow the head to lie in posture
and on q level that cannot offer any
obstacle to the free return Of blood
through the veins OF the neck, and
does not tend to make the blood flow
specially in any particular direction.
but leaves nature at liberty to act as
she will-The Lancet.

License Cases in the Supreme
...r.- Court.

Two very important decisions have been
rendered by the supreme court of Minneso-
ia. Chief Justice Gilillan, in a very exhaus-
tive opinion, in the case OF the State OF
Minnesota against j ohm Ortb, indicted for
selling liquor by wholesale without first
paying $1,000 license under the law of
1887, comes to the conclusion that it was
not the intention OF the legislature to re.
quire Wholesale liquor dealers to take out
such license. In another case in an opin.
ion by Justice Vanderburg, the constitu-
tionality OF the high license law is sustain.
ed. .. 80
In the first case Orth was indicted in
Hennepin county for selling a key of beer
not having taken out license, under the
law OF 1887, known as the high license
law. A demurrer was filed which raised
the question as to whether any offense
against the law had been committed by
the defendant The demurrer was over
ruled i'll the district court and was at once
taken to the supreme court for construc-
ton OF the law as relating to wholesale
dealers. Justice Gilfillan, in conceding his
opinion says: Prior to 1887 the policy
OF the state has always been as we believe
it has been in most OF The states, to re-
quire license only for sales in small guam.
