Scientific Men Unable to Agree-sone
Facts Known for Certain

Scientific Men Unable to Agreo-so'ne
Facts Known for Certain.
Il seems 4 somewhat startling fact
that at this late day philosophers
should oo discussing the question:
What is sleep?n and should announces
entirely new views and ideas ON the
subject. The human race has beca
sleeping nearly one-third OF its time
for the past 10000 or 259.0)9 years
and has certainly had enough export
ence with it, but. according to the
New Orleans Times Democratic would
seem that we do not fully understand
the matter. do not quite know what
sleep is, how it comes about, or even
its effect
One thing. however. is nov ac-
cepted as proved-that the condI-
tion OF the blood vessels Of the brain.
and, indeed. of such tissue As the
optic disc, is an anemic one in sleep
As drowsiness comes on the surface
OF the brain grows paler in color AMI
the lack OF red blood is noticeable
when such conditions arc observed
The theory of DR.. James Capple q
Edinburgh, and Of some other emi-
nent scientists has been to the eject
that the veins of the pia matter, the
inner membrane OF the skull, are
capable OF cOngesting and dispensing
comparatively large quantities Of
blood; that congestion produces ver-
tigo and .senselessness" or stupor,
and that the dispersion Of blood from
the brain-cells produces d slight CON
preston on the surface OF the b@aln
and thus brings about sleep
The brain being less active the
circulation Of blood TO the BRAIN =
supposed by this theory to be dimin-
ished. and as the blood in the brain
cells has passed. into the veins the ef-
feet will be to causc slight welding
in the brain and pressure uqonit.
And now comes forward a great
German scientist, Herr Rosenbaum.
with an entirely new and original
proposition-tha the anemic condi-
tiOn of the brain is due to an excess
of water in the cells OF that body 4
sort of water on the brain. Sleep. az
cording 10 his theory. is especially a
matter OF nervous action-the fatigue
of the nerve cells which communicate
with the heart and bring about 4
change in the circulation.
The nervous cells are full of water
when sleep comes on. which during
sleep, passes into the venous blood
as waste, while the nerve cells re-
ceive nourishment from fresh arterial
blood. When the process is entirely
over the sleeper awakes, unless he is
disturbed sooner According TO
Rosenbaum' theory, sleep is not only
healthy because of the rest it gives
the entire body but actually inyigo--
ating in itself Those who have
imagined that slumber is simply
quiet and rest for an overworked
and fatigued mind or body viii be
surprised to learn that the scientists
are divided in opinion as to whether
it is pressure on the brain. similar to
vertigo and other attacks which pro-
iuce Inconsistencies, or a mild form
Of hydrocephalus.

The Five O'Clock Tea in Paris.

Partisan ladies are growing terribly
greedy, so say their critics. thanks to
the pernicious Introduction of the
British 5o'eloclI tea. Formerly after
noon calls were made for social pur.
poses alone. Now, directly guests ap-
pear, the hostess brings forward Il
regular course of dainties-sand-
witches, appetizing cakes and tarts OF
every kind, besides liqueurs to wash
down the tea. Not only do the ladies
spoil their digestiors but they enjoy
themselves at heavy expense of the
hostesses, besides running many of the
smaller confectioners' shops. where
formerly they would go in to buy a
cake when out walking o. driving.
