CAN HE ABOLISH SLEEP
Wizard Edison IL Worry Smart, and H
May Do 1t Yet


May Do 1t Yet.
DR.. ]. A. Hornsby, assistant chief of
electricity at the fair, who has just re-
turned from visit to the Edison labora-
tory, says the great electrician has
evolved new theory of his own on the
subject of sleep.
"Mr. Edison believes, said DR.. Horns
by to Chicago Record reporter, that
the time is coming when men will do
without sleep, or with 80 little sleep that
it will cut no figure in a mans working
hours.
1--WE were in Llewellyn Park laboratory
at Orange, N. j., when some one spoke
of Mr.. Edison's marvellous powers of en-
durance. l asked him if he had ever
found anybody who could keep up with
him day in and day out without breaking
down. The question was suggested by a
report that had come IN from one Of his
employees that had gone to pieces from
overwork. When l asked about it Mr..
Edison smiled little, and said he had
just two men with him in the establish
ment who kept up the gait day and night
for years and seemed to be as good as
ever physically. Then he announced his
belief that ultimately there would be no
such thing as sleeping long hours for any
but invalids. Why he said, turning to
me, when the monograph had to be fin
ished in a certain number of hours to be
in London on time l worked seventy-two
hours without minute of sleep, and &C
did all the men with me except one Oh
two unimportant assistants whose places
could be filled easily
"'The truth is that this habit OF sleep
ing originated when there was no such
thing as artificial light. People coule
not read; they had no way Of amusing
themselves at night; 30 when darkness
came there was nothing left for them t,
do but to lie down and lose themselves il
oblivion. Now that We have the electti
light and other means Of illumination TIN
world is sleeping less and less all tn
time. By and by, gradually, of course
but surely the time will come when al
hour or two will be enough. Then pee
pie will find that they been wasting valu
able time. 1t is all right for man t
change biz work or seek some other diver
sion, but that is very easy to do by chang
ing work and varying the subject c
study"
"rhis theory" continued Mr.. Horns
by, ''is discussed considerably among III
young men who know Mr. Edison's habit
from personal association with him in th
laboratory. MIR. Tate, his private seer,
tary, said that 1t was no wonder the oil

How Marblea Are Made.
From the San Francisco Call.
"'rhe PLAYING marble trade is not "

From the San Francisco Call.
''rhe playing marble trade is not what
it was twenty years ago." said A. L.
Holmes, an Eastern china ware man, at
the Palace yesterday. Probably the
boys of the present age don't take as
kindly to this form of amusement az they
did in those days, but however that may
be, the demand is not near 80 large.
Most of the stone marbles used are made
in Germany. Only the refuse OF the
marble and agate quarries is employed,
and this is treated in such a way that
there is practically no waste. Men and
boys are employed to break the stone
into small cubes, which are then thrown
into mill consisting Of a grooved bed.

fed to the mill, and the runner is rapidly
revolved, while the friction does the rest
In half an hour the mill is stopped, and

From the 81. Louis Globe democrat.
The gypsies, or Bohemians 90 they sre
sometimes incorrectly called, are usually
regarded "a barbarians," remarked
Russell Wade, Of Clermont, Iowa, at the
Laclede last evening. "They have never
chose to become what Q person would
call civilized, in the broad acceptance Of
the term. There are, however, among
their tribes in certain European coun-
tries, class of gypsies who have adopted
many Of the forms of civilized life and
are an honest, industrious and well-to-do
set. They still cling, though, to the
nomadic life, living in tents pitched in
groves. Many of the young women of
this class are very beautiful, notwith-
standing their swarthy complications,
and the men, given az they are to out
of-door life, present some of the finest
specimens Of physical strength and
manly beauty. A gypsy tribe always
has king and queen, who hold absolute
sway over the whole tribe. However
lawless and defiant the gypsies may be
in regard to civil government, theycal-
ways obey implicitly the mandates Of
their king and queen"

A DESERTED STORE,

Since tho Civil War Ended IL Has Re-
Mained Unopened and Neglected.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
One of the curiosities to be found in
Southern Ohio, not far from Chillicothe,
is country store that has remained as it
now is for over thirty years without the
change of q single article. When the
war broke out the man who owned the
store had a son. The father was in
tensely loyal and persuaded the son to
enlist, promising the son that if he should
enlist the store and its contents should
be his when he returned. Another call
for troops came and the old man locked
up the store and shouldered q musket.
He remained in the army until peace
was declared and then returned to his
home. His wife had died in the mean
time, and no tidings had ever been re-
ceived from the son. The father worked
a small farm that he owned, but never
entered the store, saying that it should
be there as it was when the son came
home to claim it. Aquarter of century
has gone, but no word yet from the miss.
ing son, and the store stands lust as il
was over thirty years ago, the old man
now in his dotage, refusing to allow any
one to enter it.

How Horses Sleep.

From the st. Louis Globe. Democrat.
"There are some horses which have
never been seen to lie down in their
lives" said Henry 7. Potrin, Minnesota
stockman, at the Southern the other
night. "some horses that continue to
work for years always sleep standing, but
their rest is not complete, and their
joints and sinews stiffen. Young horses
from the country are liable to refuse to
lie down when first placed in stable in
town, and the habit may become con-
firmed unless special pains are taken to
prevent it. Sick horses are very apt to
refuse to lie down. They seem to have
an instructive fear that if they lie down
they will never be able to get on their
feet again. Ionce rode a horse seventy
miles in single day. | put the animal
in as comfortable stable as could be
made, but he stood up all night, going to
sleep with bis breast against the man

The Future of Farming,

T.. V. Smailey In the April Forum.
The so.called bonanza wheat -farms of
the Northwest and the big farms of the
California valley grew out of transient
conditions that no longer prevail-the
California farms out OF the old Spanish
lsnd-grant and the Minnesota and Dakota
farms out OF the Congressional grant to
railroads. The history Of the North
western big farms is that the land was
purchased from the railroad companies
with deprecated stock and cost originally
about one dollar per acre. The low price
OF wheat and the higher price of land
have changed the whole aspect Of farm
ing. There is no bonanza in the big farm
now ; it makes but moderate profit on
the capital it represents in average crop
years, and with bad crop it barely pays
running expenses. 1t requires as care
full management as a factory. believe
that We are now in transition period in
agriculture. The influence of machinery
has been fully exerted. There are no
more fertile lands on the globe to be con-
quered by civilization and to increase the
food-supplv. With growth Of population
will come better prices for farm products
Farm life will become more attractive
The tendency to large farms will be
checked. A hundred acres, even OF ex.
elusive grain farming, will afford good
living to family. Better times fol

Land and Wages.
From a speech by Jerry Simpson.

rioih spcoCh Wy JciTy oihPsoh'
The great and boundless West opened
a new country where the surplus labor of
our land could find an outlet, where men
could 20 and take up the vacant land,
and labor could thus find employment.
This, in connection with organized labor
in the large cities, has helped to keep up
wages. But now that land has rapidly
concentrated into the hands OF monopo,
lists, who hold it out OF use
there is nc more new country to
be thus opened, and the great tide Of
population is turned back again upon the
East. Competition among laboring men
has set in, and as there are no new out
let's they must compete against one an
other for a job. AS monopoly rapidly
takes land out of use and depriv.s labor
of access to it, jobs rapidly decrease, the
number of people seeking employment
also grows, competition becomes sharper,
and wages, by natural law OF supply
and demand, must gradually go down.
