GETTING THE BABY TO SLEEP.
An Experienced Nurse Tells How Best to
DO 1t.


DO 1t.
sometimes" said an experienced
nurse, "thc numerical system of sing
ing is decidedly useful. Many another
in singing restless child to sleep has
sung the same song over and over
again, repeating the verses ndefinitely
Usually this form of ythmic repetition
is effective: there are few children that
can hold out for more than an hour or
two against il If the voice is gentle and
the singing is continued without
break, and with gradually dccrcas-
ing volume of tone But occasionally
it happens that just as the child is
about to go to sleep there is brief
period when its senses, though yelled
by drowsiness, are really remarkably
acute, and when the work of hours may
easily be upset in an instant. A moment
airy halt in the singing may awaken
the child; the almost imperceptible
rustic attending the bending forward
to see if the child is asleep may have
the same effect, and there comes a
time when even the words of the
song strike the sensitive nerves with
wakeful rather than with restful i'm
pulses. Here is where the numerical
system may be used to advantage, sub
stitutiug for the regular words of the
song with their dissimilar and there
fore some that disturbing sound waves
| other words more nearly uniform in
character.
Suppose. for instance, the mother
is singing 'Grandfather's Clock and
that she has been singing it for an
| hour and half, and has repeated the
verses may be seventy or eighty times.
At the critical moment between wake
fulness and sleep she glides gently into
! 'Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three,
| thirty-four. thirty-tive. thirty-six, thir-
ty-seven. thirty-one, thirty-two. thirty
three, thirty-four, thirty-ive, thirty
six, thirty-seven.
The similar sounds which these
words produce make but the faintest
| -ipple on the sensitive ear, and gener-
ally ten or fifteen verses of the song so
sung are enough for the purpose N.

About the sun,

Duncr has just published in full his
.pectroscopic research upon the suns

fully confirms an old observation by

without support from other observers
viz, that the sunspot spectrum in the
green and blue is made up OF series
Of close-pacled dark lines, with here
and there gaps or bright lines between
them; it is di>coutinuous spectrum.
