WHAT, REALLY, is SLEEP 2
The Theory, Fact and Uses of Tn
cho-Panza-P1easing Invention.

Ihe Theory, Fact and Uses of This
ncho-Panza-Pleasing Invention.
What sleep is no one knows. The pre-
vai.ing theory as to its nature. according to
Youths Companion, is that of the physiol-
ogist, Preyer, who holds That refuse matter
accumulates in th nervous centers in such
quantities as to bring about insensibility
which continues until the brain has been
relieved of the waste matter by its absorption
into the circulation.
Whatever feats of endurance men may ac-
complish, they cannot live long without
sleeping. Under every condition of bodily
and mental suffering men sleep. Those con-
denim ed to die, although they fear their fate,
generally sleep the night before execution.
Soldiers have been known to sleep when on
long and wearisome march, while walking
In the ranks or lying on bed Of stones or in
the mud and water.
The question is often asked, ''How long
can man live without sleep?" The VIC
tim OF the Chinese waking torture" sell
dom survives more than ten days. Those
condemned to die by the waking torture
are given all they wish to eat and drink, but
sleep is denied them.
Whenever the poor victim closes his eyes
he Is jabbed with spears and sharp sticks
until he is awake. There is NO torture more
