Some discussion has been going on
concerning Herr Resemblance recently
proposed theory of sleep-namely, that
the anRmic condition of the brain is due
to an excess of water in the brain cells
of that body. The supposition, as stated,
is that sleep is essentially 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 water when sleep comes on,
and this water during sleep passes into
the venous blood as waste, and the nerve
cells then receive nourishment from
fresh arteriaI blood. Then when the proc,
ess is entirely over the sleeper awakes.
According 10 this theory, sleep is not
solely healthy because it rests the body
and brain, but also because it invigor-
ates the1l. IL Is also 70 be inferred
from Rosenbaum'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.-Ne~

Watching the melons grow, l SEE.
Samuel. ne said after awhile to my ia
Their. Did YOU catch any fshS' Then
without waiting for an answer he said:
i s'Pose you would like 10 plug one Of
them melons today. But you can't. It's
the Sabbath day, and / think you've
committed sins enough already for one
Sunday.
Then we all went home 10 dinner,
and my grandfather looked very solemn
all the afternoon till he fell asleep in
his chair reading Fox's Book Of Mar
tvrs' The next morning the three mel
Cns were gone, and my grandfather laid
il 70 the froward youth OF the neighbor-
hood, 70 whom | have already twice al

father or me about it.
When | see these delicious, these
matchless. these monster melons wasted
as they are by these needless, wretched
longshoremen, l remember how hard
my father and 1 worked TO get those
three melons, and l am indignant.
There" he groaned, another melon has
been broken"
II is a fact that melons are SO cheap
and plentiful in their season nowadays.
even as far away from the fields they are
grown in as New York, that they are
handled without much care. The melon
Of precious memory has been displaced
by the melon of commerce. 1t CRATES
upon the sensitive soul to see them in
such quantities, but there is this saving
truth for cons lation: The melon of
commerce is better than the melons of
precious memory used to be, for the re
sources of science have been called in to
assist in developing the fruit.
The present plenitude of melons is
due TO the transportation companies.
When the railroads had gridironed the
south, their managers began to cast
about for freight to carry. Then they
thought of the nelons-rich, big, juber-
ous-wasting in the south, and the
mouths longing, hungry, watering for
them in the north. So the railroad men
shipped a few carloads, but the fruit
was too tender to bear the long ride by
rail and harder melons had to be cult
waited. Then the planters had to be
taught how to crate the melons. and then

NOT MUCH DAMAGE.
The Divers Report the HUH of
the Mi0wera in Fair
Condition.

The Lougee brothers spent most
of their time under water yester-
day, examining the hull of the
Miowera, TO ascertain what was
needed in the way Of repairs 10
that well-known vessel.
Their heavy diving suits, rope
ladder and all the apparatus need
ed for their submarine work was
taken out early in the morning,
and about $50 o'clock they de-
scended the vessels side and start
ed on their work.
They found that the ship was
leaking very little, and that the
only damage done to the hull was
that some Of the plates on both
sides were denied by the hard
humping on the reef. Altogether,
the damage done is not nearly as
great as might be expected from
the hard times that the steamer
has seen. The divers will go down
again today and continue their in
vestigations.
Sorenson & Lyle will, today,
commence building a coffer-dam
80 feet long to be put under the
stern of the steamer. As soon as
this is finished, the work Of repair
ing will be rapidly accomplished.
The rudder and stern frame will be
repaired by the Honolulu Iron
Works.
The vessel is now moored with
the large five-ton anchor that Capt.
Metcalfe brought with him from
the Coast. The other two anchors
and about $50 fathoms of chain
used in moving the ship from the
reef is still out where the work was
done, and probably will not be
brought in till next week.
