the other seEses preserve their sensibility
entire. !
The sense of taste is next which loses its
susceptibility to impressions, and then the
sense Of smelling. The hearing is next
In order, and last of all comes the sense
of touch. Furthermore, the senses are
thought to sleep with different degrees of
profoundness.
The sense of touch sleeps the most light
" and Is the most easily awakened, says
the New York Journal. The next easiest
is the hearing; the next is the sight, and
the taste and smelling awake last. An
other remarkable circumstance deserves

Sleep commences at the extremities. be-

warm and perfectly still as 3 preliminary
OF sleep Is well known.
From these explanations it will not APP
pear, surprising that, with one or more of
the senses, and perhaps also with one or
more parts of the body, imperfectly asleep
there should be at the same time an i'm

duceS the phenomenon of dreaming.

Science and I'm mortality

From the Christmas Century we quote
as follows from an article by Prof. Du
BoIS OF Yale, on Science and Immortal
lty: Mastery of self can be attained
only In world where temptation and sin
are possible, were volun airy disobedence is
The outcome or ignorant tranSgreSsion.
These are necessary to the end not mere
ly allowed, but designed. The purpose of
such world" is plain 20 read 1t seems
that not happiness here is the end for
wnlch we are to arrive. That Is a means
70 help us, to encourage us, to lead us on.
Not the avoidance OF pain lis the end.
ihere is also means to warn us, to guide
us, II needs be to compel us. But the
great erd which science itself is forced
to recognize IS the mastery of SELF through
the struggle with sin and temptation, and
the formation of a PERSONAL---VERY. char
acter self-attained, of spiritual! influence
IN the midst of a universe governed by
ch influence which, disciplined by pain
and trial, strengthened by the sweet uses
of adversely, guided by reason and knowl-
edge, voluntarily brought into accord with
supreme will through the desire sof sin it.
self-is thus made capable of co-opera-
ton with that will both here and here
after. This is the significance of the pro-
cess we observe. This alone harmonizes
all the facts. For such a personality
there must be future. Such d personal
ity belongs to the meaning of the uni
verse. Not, therefore, the production of
automatceons who may pass a few years of
blissful irresponsible ease and then cease
to be; nor the development from lower
forms of an animal who can for "a time ex-
pose nature, increase III power aud civiliz-
alton, develop higher nature, stretch
forth hands of entreaty to an unseen God,
and then, just as the universe opens to his
gaze, when higher possibilities and hopes
and warnings begin to dawn, when he
has grown completely out of his physical
environment, and with an endowment far
beyond his needs cat .hes glimpses of
glories he can never share, and with heart
filled with loving longings that can never
be satisfied, sinking into hopeless grave
such is not the end indicated by the facts.
Such an end is worse than futile. 1t is a
cruel mockery.
But the development of conscious,
indefeasible personality,
Our soul against the flesh of all mankind
of "a spiritual energy IN accord with eternal
purpose, capable of cooperation and fit
tool for higher things-this is an end
which alone satisfies reason, science, re-
violation, faith, and hope. This alone is
commensurate with the whole mighty pro-
cess. The attainment of such personal.
lty we begin here. SO surely as we begin
it has our true life begun, and opportunity
must be afforded to complete work-else is
the whole process failure. And this per-
sonality, science tells US as certainly as she
can tell us any thing, is not born to die.
