How We ran Asleep.

Scientific investigators assert that in
beginning to sleep the senses do not
unitedly fail into slumber, but drop off
one after another. The sight ceases in
consequence Of the protection of the
eyelids 10 receive impressions tirst,while
all other senses preserve their sensi-
bility entire. The sense Of taste is the
next which loses its susceptibility to inn
preston, and the sense of smelling. The
hearing is next in order, and last of all
CONES the sense of touch. Furthermore,
the senses are brought 10 sleep with
different degrees Of profoundness. The
seLSe OF touch sleeps the most lightly
and is the most easily awakened; the
next is the sight, and Che taste and
smell awake last Another remarkable
circumstance deserves notice; certain
muscles and parts of the body begin to
sleep before others. Sleep com
mences ut the extremities, beginning
with the feet and legs and creeping
toward the center of nervous action,
explains the American Analyst, The
necessity Of keeping the feet warm sal
perfectly still as a preliminary of sleep
is well known From these explana-
lions it viii not appear surprising that
there should be an imperfect kind T
mental action which produces the ph9-
nomena Of dreaming.
