How a Man Goes to Sleep.

"Order is heavens first law" and the
old truth is manifested even in the pro-
cess of going to sleep. When man
drops off to sleep his body does not do
so all at once, 80 to speak. Some
and always in the same order. AS he
becomes drowsy the eyes close, and the
sense of seeing is at rest. 1t is quickly
followed by the disappearance of the
sense of taste. He next loses the sense
of SMELL and then after short interval
the tympanum becomes insensible to
sound or rather the nerves which run
to the brain from it fail to arouse any
sense of hearing.
The last sense to leave is that Of
touch, and in some hyper-sensitive peo-
pie it is hardly ever dormant. Even in
their case, however, there is no dis
eliminating power or sense of what
touched them. This sense is also the
first to return upon awakening. Then
hearing follows suit, after that taste, and
then the eye becomes able to flash i'm
| pressions back to the brain. The sense
of smell, oddly enough, though it is by
no means the first to 60, is the last to
come back.
The same gradual loss of power is OBJ
served in the muscles and sinews as vel
as in the senses. Slumber begins at the
feet and slowly spreads up the limbs
and trunk until it reaches the brain
when Inconsistencies is complete and
the whole body is at rest. This is why
sleep is impossible when the feet are
cold.

Hidden Epochs.

India and Egypt are the fatherlands
of mystery, and faith. Arabia gave us
language in the present cycle of the
development of mankind and the numer-
| ais 1, 2, 3. According to the koran,
"every age hath it's book of revelations. y
Religion entered the soul of man and art
| and science were born. A noble rever-
ence reared the sacred shrine and the
happy heart of humanity throbbed with
hope. Philosophy and the poetic muse
temple mutely mark the flight of time.
The modern pen cannot reveal what
the oriental of the ages gone has failed
to record. The epochs that gave peo-
pies and pointers to the world lie hidden
in the grandeur of their obscurity. 1t
is more convenient to erase the Sanskrit
scroll than read it.
Confucius wished for longer time to
make himself thoroughly master of the
wisdom of antiquity. Three thousand
| five hundred years had been reckoned,
teeming with events before his time. He
and his disciples practiced the then
ancient ceremony of offering sacrifice
ON mountains.
Brahma, according to the Vedas, is
| considered ashaving sacrificed himself fol-
creation-self-immolated to give human
| ity existence-"Brahma at once both
sacrifcer and victim" When the Brah-
man affairs crumbled the prayers OF
mortals were addressed to images in the
temples and pagodas and these Buddha
attempted to overthrow.
Moses and the prophets of the Hebrews
knew no Trinity-no Father, Son and
Holy Ghost. God was stern, merciless
personality. Jesus taught the unity o
the Supreme Being. The apostle:
| gathered the brambles of trinity from
the BrahminicaI theology of the Eas
Brahma as God the Father, Vichu as the
son, incarnate as Christua, silva the
Spirit were taught for thousands o.
years throughout India and Asia.

Remarkable Well in Kentucky.

On the land of farmer five miles east
of Grab Orchard, KY, is well which is
a great wonder to those who have Wis
tied it. 1t is known as the burning
well," name appropriately given, for
it's waters, though clear, limpid, and
drinkable, are as inhammable as naph-
tina. This well is about fifteen feet
deep, extending down through stratum
of slate rock. 1t contains wooden
pump stock and the water as it comes
cold and sparkling from the depths of
the we'll has no odor about it. 1t has a
mineral taste and is exceeding pleasant
to drink. Yet dipper full of it COM
ing in contact with a flame will take
fire, blazing up like gunpowder.
The wells discovery, if the natives
tell true story, was remarkable. A
party of excursionists from the springs
went out in that section in quest of
ferns, fossils and the like. On their re-
turn they found the well and stopped to
get drink An old lady living near
by brought a bucket and filled it with
the refreshing fluid for the thirsty RAM
blers. After they had drank she poured
the remainder on the ground near the
well. just at this instant a young man
of the party lighted cigarette and
threw the match heedlessly on the
ground. 1t chanced to fall into the
poured out water. which took fire and
flashed up, amazing and Rfrightening
the whole party. At the suggestion of
one of the on-lookers more water was
drawn, and to the wonder of all it took
fire as readily as an explosive, scorch-
ing the face and eyebrows of the rash
experimenter who held the match. The
old ladys family had for years been
using water out of the well, perfectly
ignorant of its properties.

Old Irish Schools.

The buildings of the monastic school
were generally constructed in the neigh
borhood of a little stream or clear
springs. They were always protected,
says writer in Do1aahoe'S Magazine, by
a circular or oval inclosure called a
rath lis, cashel or dun. Sometimes there
were two or more of these Enclosures,
made of earth and occasionally faced
with stone.
Between these ramparts there were
deep dykes. A single entrance, guard
ed day and night, controlled the egress
aud ingress. The monks could not go
out without consent of the abbot. As
rule women were not allowed to enter
the innermost inclosure. The principal
building was the church, usually small.
The largest of these ancient Celtic
churches is not more than 80 feet in
length and many measure but from 20
to 40 feet. If needed several churches
were built. Groups of seven churches
were much beloved, such as we find at
Glendalough, Cashel, Kells and else
where.
The churches were usually built of
oaken planks, covered with osier or
wattles, woven into various designs of
trellis or checker, and neatly painted so
that the exterior often looked like a
page of their own elegant manuscripts.
Sometimes the walls were built of earth,
but then they were incased to a certain
height with wicker-work or artistic
carpentry. The first churches we hear
of in Ireland are the oaken churches of
Palladius and the mud church built by
St. Patrick at Tirawley. In the south
or west where stone was more abundant,
the churches were built occasionally Oi
stone. But wooden churches were the
delight of the ancient Celts up to the
twelfth century. st. Malachy got into
serious trouble by trying to introduce
stone churches of the CisUercian pattern
The old monastic churches were usually
rectangular, with very steep, often 8
double, roof the outer one being of lead
or stone. They had no pillars but fire.
quently the doorways and the arche:
were carved with great elegance; del
icate incisions, graceful scroll and spira
work and grotesque intricate designs
show the rich fancy and bold, inventiv
mind OF these good old monks.

MODERN HALF.roNg ENGRAVING.
How the Beautiful Illustrations of the
Cheap MaRazines Are Made.

Pictures for the illustration of maga-
zines and newspapers are now made dt-
rect from photographs. A glass screen
with diamond-cratched lines ruled at
right angles so closely together that the
placed one-eighth of an inch in front of
the sensitive plate in the Photographic
camera. Looked through, the effect is
much the same as gazing through a
sieve. These lines reappear in the half
tone engraving when printed.
The photograph, or wash drawing,
from which the photo-engraving is
taken, is photographed in the usual
way and with the usual sensitive plate.
with the previously described screen in
the camera between the plate and the
picture. This produces negative Of
the picture, showing the fine cross lines
represented by clear glass. Now, in
order to have the same position of the
object in the engraving as in the
original, the film of the negative is
treated to one or two coats of collodion,
which gives it a sufficient consistency
to permit of its being removed. This
film is transposed to the opposite side
of another glass. After careful mount
ing this new negative is ready to be
used as a medium for printing on the
xinc plate.
The face of the plate is buffed to the
highest degree of polish, then coated
with solution of albumen and gelatine,
then sensitized with bichromate am.
monia. 1t is then dried and placed in
the printing frame, the coated side next
to the negative film. The case is then
exposed to the sun or light three to five
minutes, or to an electric light for tif.
teen to twenty minutes. The ight
passes through the heavy inch thick
glass of the printing frame, ther
through the negative, striking the sen.
sitized plate, and decomposing the
chemicals wherever it may fall. Where
the plate is protected by the shadow!
and half-tones of the negative the sun
light has less effect, and where the
shadows are dense it has no effect.
This plate is then removed from the
frame in dark room, and carefully
washed under running water for severa
minutes, then dried and heated unit
the picture appears Of dark-browr
color. The back of the plate Is rubbed
with wax while hot to protect it from tht
etching solution, which is made from
per chloride of iron. The picture OF
the plate is acid proof, and the etching
solution eats only where the plate is un
protected-that part which is blank il
the finished engraving. The plate is al
lowed to remain in the acid bath fo
about fifteen minutes, or until sufficient
depth is obtained. 1t is then washed
and is ready for the router and th'
printer.
