why We Sleep.

Probably nobody with any heart and
imagination Or spirit Of scientific in.
.quiry in his brain has failed to sit up
nights, SO to speak, to find out how he
goes to sleep. It is q discovery that
none has yet made. Ons moment we
arc broad awake. Next thing We know
we have been sound asleep for a longer
or shorter time. The process Of awaken
ing seems more gradual. and then we
often catch glimpses Of what the mind
has been about during the sleep life
These glimpses indicate that our sleep
life is far morewonderf than our wax
ing life. Or. Henry Wurz contributes to
The Popular Science Monthly paper
>on the chemistry Of sleep. He compares
natural slumber with the process Of 60
ing to sleep under an@sthetics. Among
the substances that produce insensibili-
ty none is better known than what is
commonly called carbonio acid gas,
known to chemists as carbon dioxide
gas. Its properties are SO well under
stood that Parisians Of the poorer class
occasionally commit suicide by shutting
themselves up with vessel of burning
charcoal. Its fumes lull them to sleep,
and they never wake again. Now. in
our bodies, by mental and muscular ex-
srtion, this same gas is produced in large
quantities during the day. The system
is therefore more or less overloaded with
it. This produces the tired, sleepy feel
ing, DR.. Wrrz thinks, and finally makes
us drop of into the land Of dreams.
During our state Of quiescence and re-
pose we do not produce the carbon gas
in such quantities. The large amount
already in our systems is eliminated
through the lungs and through the in
sensible perspiration Of the skin. ~
The absence Of the gas in the morn
ing makes US feel bright, wide awake
and refreshed. Then we can conquer
the world We bound out of bed and
begin the next days work, expending
our forces, generating in our bodies the
carbon dioxide and loading up with It,
all ready for sweet Mother Nature to rid
us of it once more at night. ~.

The Sun Do .NIs,ve.

John Jasper, the negrt' preacher, al
ways stuck to it that the sun did move,
and Jasper was right. In fact, SO far as
has been discovered, ithas not only one
motion, but three. ,~--
First it revolyes on its axis. Astrono-
mers know this by the regular recur.
renee and disappearance Of the sun spots.
It takes the sun nearly a month of our
days to turn around once-more than a
lunar month, in fact. for the mean time
of its axial rotation is s915 days. Its
next motion is not 60 we'll understood.
But it has been found that our great
sun itself revolves slowly around tho
center Of gravity OF the whole solar
system, wherever and whatever that is,
Just as the magnetic pole Of the earth
is believed to have a motion around in
a small circle. Very delicate mathemat-
ioal Instruments have been employed to
discover this motion Of the sun around
the center Of gravity.
Besides these two there is another
motion which would be calculated to
alright the timid if its goal and aim
were not so very far off. Wise men
have discovered that the sun, with all
it's planets trailing after it, is rushing at
breakneck speed into the constellation
Hercules, in due time to be, swallowed
up by that constellation. The speed at
which we are all flying toward Hercu-
les is considered by the best authorities
ON the subject to be at least $50, 000,-
900 miles year. But this universe
shall not get there in our lifetime nor
our children's. l@<-

It would be the making Of the Rio
Grande valley if the proposed huge dam
and reservoirs should be built across the
Rio Grande river at Ell Paso, storing
the waters in the rainy season SO
they could be used at need in the dry
season. This much is plain. But is it
quite so plain that the United States
government should build that dam:
Why would it not be better for some Of
our great capitalists who are now rath-
ar glad to get 2 and 8 per cent for their
money 20 invest it in this great work:
It would be dead sure investment.

!. A friend of the sultan reports that he
reads, studies and works SO hard he does
not give himself time to sleep Often
and often. says this enthusiastic friend,
the imperial Turk does not get more
than couple Of hours sleep Of q night.
II that is true, no wonder the Turkish
government is guilty Of untold atroci-
ties. The man who sleeps only two hours

suicide or die if he tries to keep up that

Whyte Melville once defined the diff
ference between pluck and nerve. Pluck,
be said, enabled man to do what he
was afraid to do. Nerve is simply the
lack Of fear. The nervy man does risky
things because he never thinks Of being
afraid The plucky man goes on and
does the same things when he is afraid
to do them, but forces himself up to it
nevertheless. Which is the hraver mana

ney to the west, and, being defeated in battle by a foreign invader, frag- ment of them found their way east ward. They travelled in bands days journey apart, each band camping a night at the same place as the one that preceded it, and from this circum- stance certain towns belonging to the same fire were established. between which a bond of fraternity has since been religiously maintained. It is con- sidered unlawful for members of these towns to play ball or engage in any contests for superiority of prowess or skill as against each other. Chief Cir cle associates this legend with the over throw of the Aztecs by the Spaniards in 152O. and claims that, as the Creeks never used wigwams or tepees, but lived in towns and built log houses, they are descendants of race superior to other tribes.

 Another large pasture is that of the x. l. T. Cattle company It begins with the Colorado line and extends several counties back this way. The Fort Worth & Denver railroad runs through it, Some idea of its size may be gath cred from the fact that the regular night express train enters on the south side of the pasture at 11:05, and after continuous running leaves it at 3;20 next morning. A pasture which it takes an express train four hours and a quarter to cross would be considered large in some countries.

The Undertone of the Market was Stronger
 TFnw rri,x,a

For a Time.
 New York, Jan. 17.--While speculation at the stock exchange was quiet to-day, the undertone of the market was stronger than for long time past. Prices were higher all around and the prominent issues made gains of H to 1h per cent. outside of Baltimore and Ohio, which rose 2 per cent. to 632l. The rise in the latter was ascribed to man. ipulation by small pool. The improve ment in the general market was due to higher prices for American securities in London and the rally in the French per cents.
 Foreigners bought St. Paul and Lake Erie and Western, the latter on talk of a dividend during the spring. The Van derbilts, however, displayed the great est strength and sold at the best figures for long time past. Lake Shore rose to 140 New York Central to 100b, Mich igan Central to 96 bid, Canada Southern to 5OA Big Four to 391s and Chesa- peake and Ohio to TIE. The strength of these stocks had a good effect and led to some moderate buying for the long account. Manhattan was quite a feature and rose to 107ss.
 The industrials were less prominent in the dealings. Near the close Chicago Gas rallied to 72ss. The impression is that the pool has been dissolved and that the stock has been returned to the individual owners. This is partly borne out by the decline in the rate for bor- rowing, the shares being in good sup ply in the loan crowd. Sugar, Lead, Cordage and other industrials were quiet.
 The market closed firm and 1s to 11a per cent. higher on the day. Lake Erie and Western preferred rose 9 and Pull man Palace g.

FEEDS or 10000 ACRES.
And Straight Strings of Fence Over Eighty Miles Long-In Texas, of Course.
 From the Chicago Times.l

| Miles Long-In Texas, of Course. From the Chicago Timesl
 Very few people at distance, in thinking of western Texas, understand that nearly the whole of 1t is at pres ent fenced up in mammoth pastures, yet such is the case. Many of them are larger than ordinary counties, and some of them embrace large parts of three or -four counties
 Just west of Belcherville, Tex, come the silverstein, the Ikeard, and the Worsham pastures, This latter con- tains 5O,OO0 acres. and has one line of fence twenty-three miles long, Pas lures of about this size continue in almost unbroken succession until we reach Armstrong county. There we find what is known as the Goodnight ranch, the southern boundary is little string of fence eighty-three miles long. Charley Goodnight, as the owner is familiarly known, Is considered one of the richest men in the Pan Handle, but I really feel sorry for his boys if he ever sends them out on hot after noon to stop hog holes in that line of fence. It is hardly likely that this Is the case. however, as all fences in that country are built to turn cattle with out any reference to hogs. There is a little railway station called Goodnight, which consists of the Goodnight resi- dence and the depot! MT. Goodnight lives in almost baronial style. His park contains deer, a drove of elks, and one of the few herds of buffalo in the United States.
 Another fair-sized holding of land is that of the Espinella Cattle company. This contains over 100000 acres, and takes in parts of Dickens, Crosby and Emma counties. If the land were in the form of square 1t would be about fifty miles each way. The Matterdere is smaller but still includes rather more than 100000 acres. These are both owned by syndicates, with headquar- ters In London. and they are only two selected at random out of large num- Der. They have had their bearing on State politics. If 1t were not for the railroad commissioners, the Uniform Text Book bill, and the alien landholder question. Texas politics would not be worth shucks
 The largest of these alien land hold ings belongs to what is called the Capi- tol syndicate A few years ago the old capitol at Austin burned down, and it was decided to build another on a mag nificent scale. An English syndicate agreed to put it up, and in payment therefore they received S,000.O00 acres of public lands Does the reader realize how big 100000 acres of land is? Im- agine a slice of land twenty-four miles wide and extending across the state of Missouri at its northern border. Such a strip would include the whole north- ,ern tier of counties, and would be larg- CT than several states of the Union.
 This would be about the extent of the Capitol cyndicate's pasture. Few people have any idea that there is such a thing as single pasture, in one body and within one fence, larger than some

The af- fairs of the Associ4tir n were turn ed oy CT to them hy the old Bo1rd and on investigation showed the Association in rather Il bad finan- eial condition. One consolation. however, is that the Association has been much deeper in debt be- fore than at this time and work ed out, ant would have been all right to day, were it not for the late pan ic. the building of fine floral hail and one fair which was a total fail ure caused by incessant rain.
 All that iS now needed to get in proper shape again, is a little time At present there are no funds on hand to liquidate the past indebt edness and the Board authorized the Secretary to issue stock certif. cates to all persons holding claims against the Association, if they so desire.
