What Sleep Is.

II seems a somewhat startling fact that
at this late day philosophers should be dis
cussing the question, What Is Sleepf"
and should announce entirely new views
and ideas on the subject.
The human race has been sleeping nearly
onethird of its time for the last 10000 OF
experience with It, but 1t would seem that
we do not fully understand the rnatter-do
not quite know what sleep is, how 1t comes
about or even its effect. One thing, how
ever, is now accepted as proyed-that the
condition Of the blood vessels Of the brain
and indeed Of such tissue as the optic
disk, Is an anemic one in sleep. As drowsi
ness comes on, the surface of the brair
grows paler in color, and the lack Of rec
blood Is noticeable when such conditions
are observed. s.
The theory Of DR.. James Cappie O
Edinburgh and some other eminent scien
tist has been to the effect that tho veins O
the pia mater, the inner membrane of tn,
skull, are capable of congesting and dis
persing comparatively large quantities o
blood; that congestion produces vertigo
and "senselessness" or stupor, and that tn,
dispersion OF blood from the brain cell.
produces slight compression on the sur
face OF the brain, and thus brings abou
sleep. The brain being less active, the cir
culation of the blood to the brain is sup
posed by this theory to be diminished, AM
as the blood in the brain cells has passet
into the veins, the effect will be to cause
slight yielding in the brain and a pressur
upon it.-New Orleans Times-Democrat.

1t has been recently noted, especially il

A mill owner not long ago issued the or

that each ones boots became united at least
