a psf,nition Of somnamhulism.

In the earlier days it was the common
ly accepted idea that the somnambulist
was possessed. Anything and every
thing that could not be understood or
explained was of the supernatural. To
see an individual apparently asleep and
utterly oblivious 10 the greater number
of surrounding 1jects and yet so keen
ly av Re to others as to be able to per-
form the most intricate actions without
the aid of the senses was so greatly at
variance with the common experience
of mankind as TO call up feelings of as
constituent and ava, not alone to the
minds of the vulgar or laymen, but to
those accustomed to scientific investiga-
ton Modern science has at least dis
PEELED this idea of the supernatural,
though it has not vet been abb to fur
nish rational theory which will ac-
count for all of the manifestations of the
affection. 1t has done much, however,
toward calculating the functions of diff
ferent parts of the nervous system and
in that way prepared the mind for a
fuller understanding.
Thus, in 1915, came a definition of
somnambulism as "a condition in which
certain senses and faculties are sup
pressed or rendered thoroughly impas-
sive, while others prevail in most I'M
wonted exaltatiOn, in which an indiyid-
ual, though asleep, feels and acts most
theoretically, holding an anomalous
species of communication with the ex-
ternal world, awake to objects of atten-
ton and most profoundly torpid to
things at the time Indifferent, a condi-
ton respecting which most commonly
the patient on awakening retains no rec
ollection, but on any relapse into which
train of thought and feeling related to
and associated with the antecedent par
oxysm will very often develop.

Their Favorite Amusement.

A favorite amusement with the United
States army officers on the Rio Grande is
the Mexican cock fight. Every Mexican
village has its cock pit. and officers on a
few hours leave cross the river to see the
fun. There are no better cockhghters in
the world than the Mexicans, and as pub
lie opinion sanctions the sport the enjoy
men of everybody is altogether frank
The acme of the sport is reached when
the apparently vanquished bird, after
having been completely buried in the dust
of the arena to stanch his blood, suddenly
rises as if from the grave, and with one
blow from the spur Stays his astonished
rival in the act of Growing over his sup
posed victory.-San Francisco Chronicle
