New Theory of Sleep.

Some discussion has been going on
concerning Herr Rosenbaum's recently
proposed theory of s,aep-namely. that
the anpmic condition Of the brain is due
to an excess Of water in the brain cells
of that body. The superstition. as stated.
is that sleep is essentially a matter OF
nervous action. and the direct cause Is
thought to be fatigue of the nerve cells
which communicate with the heart and
bring about some change in the circula-
ton. The nerve cells are thus supposed
to be full Of wafer when sleep on.
and this water during sleep passes into
the venous blood as waste. and the nerve
cells then receive nourishment from
fresh a~rterial blood. Then when the proc
ess is entirely owe the sleeper awakes.
According to this theory, sleep is not
solely healthy because it rests the body
and brain. but also because it inyigor-
ates them. 1t is also to be inferred
from R~oSenbaum's theory that the nerve
cells and brains of infants who sleep SO
much must contain more water than is
to be found in those of adults, and that
the effectiveness of brain cells is in in
verse ratio to the water contents.-New
York Tribune.

A Rochester man has devised a plan
by which IA trolley street car can be
stopped almost instantaneously, or with
in a space of three feet. while the car Is
going at full speed. His device is oper-
ated by a lever in the motorman's cab.
1t is, generally speaking, a steel shoe.
upon which the rear wheels Of the car
ride, the under side of which is CORFU
gated so as to produce great friction
upon the rails Of the track. On the toy
of the shoe is an arrangement which, as
soon as the wheel rises upon the shoe,
clamps the outer rim of the wheel and
at the same time grasps the inner edge
Of the rail. The simple weight Of the car
crowds down the shoe upon the rail and
at the same time clamps together, as II
a wise, the wheel and the rail, and al
this by a single movement on the part o.
the motorman.-New York Telegram.

The electric curling iron Is very SIM

into the little stand into which the tongs
are thrust. The latter are made the

generated by the resistance of the wires
