A NEW THEORY.
1t Concerns One OF the Least Understood
of Physiological Phenomena.

1t Concerns One OF the Least Understood
of Physiological Phenomena.
Sleep is one of the least understood
of physiological phenomena. A new
theory of it has been offered by Herr
Rosenbaum. He supposes the essential
fact in the fatigue of the nervous sys-
tenn leading to sleep to be hydrata-
ton of the nerve cells. an increase of
their water content. The greater the
hydratation, the less the irritability.
This hydratation arises through chem
ical change of the nervous substance
during activity. A small part of the
water escapes by day through the
lungs. but the greater part is eliminated
during sleep. It's passage into the blood
takes place by virtue of the laws of diffu-
sion. and depends on the quantity and
density of the blood, its amount of fixed
principles, speed of its flow, etc.
Elimination of the expired air takes
place according to the laws of diffusion
of gases The assimilable substances
of the body take the place of the water
eliminted in sleep. The repair of the
physical and mental forces through
sleep is due to this elimination and re-
placement Intelligence is in inverse
ratio of the proportion of water in the
brnin, and may be measured by this
proportion, at least in the child. 1t
may be doubted whether this theory
explains the sleep of alternating ami
mails or that caused by opi,Sn and an
aesthetics. Revue Scientifique.

The food of this enormous animal is

TAKING COLD.

Hot Rooms Create n Tendency to Catsrrh.
A person in good health with fair
play easily resists cold. But when the
health flags little, and liberties are
taken with the stomach or the nervous
system, chill is easily taken. and nc
cording to the weak spot of the in
dividual assumes the form of a cold or
pneumonia, or it may be jaundice. OF
all cases of "cold" probably fatigue is

or three times week. or a young lady
doing the season." and over-fed chill
dren with short allowance of sleep,
are common instances of the victims of
the cold.
Luxury is favorable to the chill-tak-
ing; very hot rooms, soft chairs, feather
beds, create q sensitiveness that leads
to catarrh.
1t is not, after all, the cold that is so
much to be feared as the antecedent
condition that gives the attack o chance
of doing harm. Some of the worst
colds happen to those who do not leave
their house or even their bed, and those
who are most invulnerable are often
those who are most exposed to change
of temperature, and who by good sleep,
cold bathing and regular habits pre-
serve the tone of their nervous system
and circulation. Boston Budget.

unless attacked, but can be reused to
fits of rage very dangerous to those
who pursue it.
There are several methods OF destroy
ing this animal. The natives dig pits
in the usual track leading to the wa
ter, or they shoot it with poisoned ar
rows. Europeans shoot the game with
rifles while it is in the water. If at
tackled from the land the hippopotamus
may become enraged and make rush
for the enemy, and then it viii be found
that it can run with speed. crashing its
way through the African forest more
rapidly than man can do. Hunting
the hippopotamus in boats on the river
is dangerous sport, for the animal is
active and buoyant in the water, swim
ming with ease, sometimes diving un-
der boat and heaving it upward
broken into pieces. The mother hip
popotamus is very careful of her young
one, and may sometimes be seen swim
m ing with the ungainly little creature
seated on her back.-N. Y. Herald.

Coffee to Save a Horses Life.

The German naturalist Martin re-
1ates case he recently met of horse
VIII ich owed its life to coffee. 1t was
in such a bad way that it was consid
cred incurable, and the owner sold the
animal for fifteen dollars The animal
was then almost skeleton, and SO
weak that it could hardly walk. The
man who bought the horse immediate
ly began to treat it with coffee, giving
infusions of roasted coffee beans, and
also coffee beans ground and mixed
with honey. In short time the horse
began to improve, and after few
months its new owner was offered two
hundred and fifty dollars for it. He
told Herr Martin he had brought round
by the same treatment many horses
which had been overworked or had lost
their strength and appetite.

In the woods.

A gentleman who recently went far
into the Maine woods to look after his
lands on coming to q lumberman'sc camp
thirty miles from nowhere, was struck
with establishment and held up his
team involuntarily at tho edge Of the
opening. The cause was the strains of
parlor organ, played in an artistic
manner, which came from the camp.
His surprise was not lessened on meet
ing at the camp door the organist and
cook, q handsome young lady, as neat
and tidy as new pin, who looked after
the house for her father and his crew.
She had taken her organ into the woods
to 'sbeguile the drowsy hours" and
make things more homelike. AS might
be expected, the gentleman found that
camp way ahead" of those not en-
livened by woman's smile and CHEEKY
presence, aud he thought he never
knew before how much music there is
in an organ. It's the new order of
things in camp life in the Maine woods.

After we had inspected the young

conduct us to a quail's nest. Anything
in the shape of nest is always well

center of interest and affection, and II
upon the ground is usually something
SO dainty and exquisite amid the natur-
al wreckage and confusion. A ground

"A quairs nest had never seen, and
to be shown one within the hunting

be double pleasure. Such quiet, Sc

moved along was itself rare treat.
Sequestered was the word that the lit

whose fields lay about us half grown
with weeds and bushes evidently did not
stir or make NOISE enough to disturb
anything. Besides this rustic high
way, bounded by old messy stone walls
and within stones throw of the farm

1t was just under the edge of pros

Thirty Thousand of Them Huddled To-

A mirage of Turanian civilization. q

Alphabetically, however, little China

is doubtful whether a single struc-

it's existence entirely TO Chinese
capital. Indeed, the necessities of the
case made no such demand upon the
frugal and thrifty Mongol. Like Mo-
liere, he took his own wherever he
found it. The huge business block OF
San Francisco's early commercial period
and the hastily.constructed shanty of
the sand hills alike became his property
by right of conquest, and he found both
orders to American architecture equal

respondent in vernal green and sacri-
fetal red; and the hard uncompromis-

LOOK TO YOUR CELLAR.


Extract from . Lecture by DIR. y. H. Kel-
logH, Battle Creek sanitarium.
Many mothers who wonder ''why
some Of the children are sick all the
time" can find the cause underneath
the floor. Nearly all houses have cell
lars. Here are stored all sorts of things
for winter use-dead things and live
things, articles to eat and fuel to burn,
old boxes and barrels, heaps of coal,
bins of vegetables, etc. The coal
and wood are constantly sending
up foul gases. Many of the vege-
tables undergo decay, and add great
ly to the formation of disease
producing elements. The germs of de-
cay are SO plentiful and work with such
rapidity that ordinary precautions as
to cleanliness will not render absolute-
IL safe a cellar located underneath a
dwelling.
Again, fruits and vegetables breathe
in manner similar to animals and SO
exhaust as well as contaminatc the sur
rounding air. 1t is popularity supposed
that plants purify the air in which they
are growing. and so they do to a GER
tain extent by using up some OF the
carbonic acid gas; but they also
contain some oxygen, and in this
way they are drain upon the
life-giving elements of the air. But
after fruit or a vegetable has reached
maturity, it ceases to consume carbonic
acid gas while still consuming oxygen.
It then throws off certain amount OF
carbonic acid gas as before. however,
and in tightly-closed cellars or store
rooms the amount OF this gas has been
known to be 80 great as to produce
suffocation.
Besides the cellar there is usually an
open space under the other portions OF
the house between the foundation
walls. This space is large enough to
admit chickens, dogs. cats, rats and
even pigs and other small animals, but
not sufficiently large to allow room for
cleaning 1t. Here various small ami
mails find hiding place and often die.
Being ont of sight and reach, they are
not discovered even when the stencil
of their decaying bodies become dis
tinctly manifest. Reported by Helen
L. Manning.
