heccnt Research Throws New Light
on the CausatiOn of Sleep.
sleep Is n of the greatest puzzles
known to SCIENTISTS said a physician
to Il writer for the New York Evening
Sun. There are, of course, any num-
Der of theories regarding it. We know
its invasion is marked by anemia, or
Dloodlessness of the brain, using this
term In contradistinction to the work.
ing state In which the brain is album
dainty provided with the vital fluid;
but it Is n thing to assert that the
brain is anemic in slumber and another
thing to hold or to prove that this de-
preston of the circulation Is the cause
OF sleep. Besides, as has we'll been
pointed out, sleep is not a condition
which affects the brain alone. The
whole organism is slowed down, and
the mechanisms of life work, for the
time being, at low pressure. Lately
there has been a revival of IN old view
OF the causatiOn of sleep. 1t is pointed
GU that certain chemical agents and
especially certain gases, when inhaled,
may produce phenomena which closely
resemble those of ordinary slumber.
OF course we have anesthatics--medi-
cine's best gifts to suffering man
which rob us of consciousness and tide
us over the pains and pangs of life, but
these agents do not exactly correspond
In their effects with the causes of ordi-
nary sleep. In carbonic acid gas, which
Is n natural waste product of our
frames and which is breathed out from
u lungs and skin. we may find an
agent that Is capable of producing a
condition closely resembling the sleep
that follows on the toll of the day.

that the sleepy cOnditiOn-and it is Il
very typical example of it's kind
which follows u stay in a badly ven
tilated room is due to our breathing in
to our blood more than u due share
of carbonic acid gas. Recent research,
however, would add that these effects,
and still more the effects of after-damp
in mines, are due not so mich to the
presence of carbonic acid gas as to the
want of oxygen. SO that instead of

as formerly, as a highly dangerous gas.
we are to-day inclined to look upon it
as relatively harmless, even when
breathed in greater proportion than
was Once regarded as possible without
injury following on the experiment.
Now ONE another item of interest
in the theory that Our sleep is really
due to the action of carbOnic acid gas.
In sleep the amount of carbonic acid
given off from the lung diminisheS:
hence it is urged the gas in sleep passes
into the blood, gives a slight increase
over the amount proper to that fluid,
and thus induces slumber. Slowly but
surely this increase is got rid of as
sleep progresses. and wakefulness SUI
pervenes when the blood once more
appears in its normal and natural. or,
rather, in its diurnal, condition"

SCOTCH IRISH IN AMERICA.

Andrew jackson and Stonc,vau
Jackson Two Notable Specimens.
The history Of tie ScOtch-Irish in
America is unfamiliar even in out
line to some otherwise Well-informed
people, says the New York World.
NO one can know American history,
however, without knowing what the
Scotch-lrish are and what they stand
for. They were among the first to
cross the mountains into Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, and other states of the
old northwest territory presented to
the union by Virginia. They led the
advance to the Pacific, and in politics
as in pioneering they have known how
to push to the front and stay there.
Their stronghold has always been in
the south. At first it was in the Vir-
ginia uplands and in North Carolina.
Then it was transferred to Kentucky
and Tennessee, where they had their
strongest development. The men of
this strain are apt to be radical. If
they are religious at all they are al
most sure to be Puritans. If f1ippancy
were not unbecoming in so serious a
connection it might be said of them
as of Longfellow's little girl-that
when they are good they are very,
very good, and when they are bad they
are horrid." When Andrew Jackson
bet on horse races, attended cock
fights and fought duels he represented
one extreme of the character, as
Stonewall Jackson did the other when
he said a prayer before every act in
his life, and put off until Monday the
reading of his sweetheart's letters
which reached him on ''the Lords
Day." Perhaps there could be no bet
ter Illustration of what the Scotch
Irishman means when raised to his
highest power than is afforded by the
two Jacksons. The Scotch-Irish of
America are breed that always has
in it the possibilities of greatness.
But if you know one Of the family
beware how you quarrel with him, for
he thinks all his enemies are also
enemies of God and the human
race.

Standing Gowns.

Some toilets are so arranged that
French modistes call them 'standing
gowns" and certainly some of the ex-
cessively wide, elaborately finished
skirts would not be improved by sit
ting posture Of it's wearer. There are
not a few women who never wear
their walking costumes in the house
any more than they would don their
full dress toilets for the promenade-a
wise rule; but a gown in which one
cannot sit comfortably is rather
trial, and the knowledge that the ap-
pearance of ones dress is ruined by
this decidedly restful and comfortable
position is disagreeable even to think
of, let alone endure.

IN an old library of the south where
letters and papers have been slowed
away for two centuries has been un-
iearthed strange story; nothing more
nor less than the love-life of John
wesley in Georgia. 1t is a strange
history of passion, of self-searchings,
of the tyranny of the early religious
conscience, of sorrow and resolve.
: Wesley, the preacher, the missionary,
the founder Of a church, and the last
man from whose breast one would
have expected to wrench such secret
and yet, when all's told, it presents
his character in no light new or unfa-
miliar
! This is the tale When James o.
lethrope sailed westward to become
governor Of a colony peopled with con-
Victs and the f1otsam and jetsam of
the London work houses, he took John
Wesley with him as civilizing inf1u-
ence. Wesley was then a young man
of brilliant parts, a fellow of Lincoln
College, Oxford on f3OO a year; hand
some pure Quixotic His brother,
Charles Wesley was the governors
secretary.
The ship was delayed by storms
and the passengers were thrown upon
their own resources for entertainment.
The most interesting person on board
so far as John Wesley was concerned,
was Miss Sophie Canston, a niece of
one of the fortunate hunters whom
Oglethrope had indu( ed to follow him
to the New World. This was not only
because women were few on board the
colonial vessel, but because this young
woman was extremely attractive.
She was beautiful. She was highly
educated. She sang with a voice that
Fascinated him. And. most potent of
all, she listened with fattering inter-
est to his preaching. The two be-
came friends. She sang Charles Wes-
ley's Psalms with him, and listened to
all he had to say about experimental
religion. Gov. Oglethrope was we'll
pleased with the turn affairs were
taking and using every means to
throw the young people together.

gan to pray. The Germans on board
sang solemnly on while the waves
were beating at the ship as if to tear
it to pieces. Then it was that John
Wesley cried out in an agony of doubt
lam l ready to meet my God?" And
Sophia Canston, standing near, look
ed up at this noble, soul-stirring evan
gelist and thought, eff not he, then
who of all on board this fated craft?"
In these seasons of doubt, while Wes-
ley was experiencing what his Diog-
raphers term his new birth, the touch
ing bravery of the young girl who had
made the long journey seem so Short
was not without it's soothing infu-
ence.
Needless to say that by the time
Georgia was reached the boat had
shipped an extra passenger with
wings and a bow and arrow When
the settlers landed the usual occupa-
tion Of newly arrived colonists seem
ed to have put an end to Wesleys
lovc-making. Oglethrope went on to
the site of Fredrica, accompanied by
Charles Wesley and Delamo, his in
separable companion. The rest of the
English set about raising tents or
bark-covered huts along the square
and streets of Savannah. John Wes-
ley went with some of the Germans,
because he had begun the study of
their language on board the ship,and
desired to pursue that study. Amid
the noise of the rice birds the fort at
Savannah was raised, and Wesley
built his parsonage and school house.
Mr.. Canston, Sophia's uncle, was
made chief magistrate and storekeep-
er, and his niece made herself quite
charming as Wesley's pupil in French
and an earnest seeker after the exqui-
site pleasures of experimental holi-
ness.
At this time John Wesley wrote to
a friend: II find myself as neither de-
sired nor expected -indulging in hon
ors and in ease and abundance
Strange school for one who hath but
one business to exercise himself unto
holiness, nudi nudum christum sequi."
Sophia was the official belle Of the
place. She and John Wesley were
the most conspicuous figures in socie-
ty, and were consequently thrown to-
gether very frequently. Gov. Og1e-
thrope looked upon the affair as set
tied, and so did the people Of the colo

The Chapter Ends.
After his recovery Wes1ey's friends
came to congratulate him on his en-
gagement. But ever since his miracu-
tous rescue from fire in his childhood
he had been convinced that he had
been singled out by his Maker for some
special purpose, and now here he was
prostrating himself before an earthly
Idol and forgetting his mission.
Alarmed for his soul he rushed to
the Bishop Of the Moravian mission
aries for advice. They had the same
hard, unrelenting convictions which
tormented Wesley, and they advised
him to give up his idol and turn to
God. Wesley knew not what to do
He wandered in the forest praying
aloud for light as to his walk before
God. He knelt under the blooming

gray moss from any living eye, sought
