HOW A MAN GOES TO SLEEP.
slumbcr Begins at tn. Feet and the Senses
 Hecome Dormant One AHter Another.

slumbcr Begins at the Feet and the Senses
 Become Dormant One After Another.
 Order is heavens first law, and the old truth is manifested even in the proc ess of going to sleep. When man drops off 10 sleep, says the New York Worll, his body does not do so all at once, so to. speak. Some sense become dormant before others and always in the same order. Ashc becomes drowsy the eyes close, and the senses of seeing is at rest, It 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 criminating 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 impressions back to the brain. The sense of smell, oddly enough, though it is by no means the first to go, is the last to come back.
 The same gradual loss of power is observed iii the muscles and sinews as well 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 com plete and the whole body is at rest. This is why sleep is impossible when the feet are cold

MeXiCo's SECRET POLICE.

A system Moro Complete Even Than That
 ot the French Republic.
 ''The secret service of the French re- public is generally considered the most perfect spy system in the world, said travelling man to writer for the Washington Star, "but in my humble opinion the department of pri, vate intelligence supported by Mexico surpasses it both in extent and in- tricacy A couple of years ago was accidentally permitted to get an in- sight into its workings, and l was astounded. One would imagine that a great private detective agency would be a necessity only in country like Russia, where the life of the ruler is constantly threatened, but down m Mexico there Is system of espionage that extends to every part of it. The motives of every public man in Mexico are not only perfectly well known to the government. but every visitor is subject to scrutiny. It was President Diaz who first established the chain of secrecy that now holds all the people in its links. Every now and then one will be surprised to sec a body of Mex ican troops hurried of to some remote place in far-off state. None will know the reason, but the fact will soon become known that the govern ment has prevented an embryo rcvolu- tion from gaming strength and force. A considerable number of Americans residing in Mexico do so because the law will make it unpleasant for them in their native places, The Mexican secret service has the private record of each of these, and if any of them shows too much activity in Mexican affairs there is an arrest, the United States authorities arc notified and extra dition of the prisoner follows, Such a case occurred only a few days ago. A man named John IIorley has been re- siding in Monterey for several years, and is prominent. Some time ago he took great interest in having Sutler, who was wanted in Austin, cxtradited. Last week uorley was arrested under orders sent from Mexico City. It turns out that Horley did something out in this country twelve years ago, and is still wanted to answer the charge. Yes, sir, the Mexican secret service is the greatest of them all. and its rauli- tications extend everywhere over the republic, and a good ways on this side of the b ~ler

RICHES OF NORTHERN SWEDEN.
Vast Iron and Lumber Country Opened

Vast Iron and Lumber Country Opened
 Up by New Railroad.
 The northern part of King Oscars realm has often been called "Sweden's America because of the richness of the land, although it is still unculti- vated says the Stockholm correspond dent of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The poorer class prefer Co emigrate to the United States instead of seeking new homes in Nordland, because that part of the kingdom lacked means of communication by land with the eapi- tai. The coast cities suffered in the winter when ice covered the sea as much as the interior settlements sui tered the year round. When it was discovered that there were great hid den riches there tor the government, it decided to grant money for the building of railway. The Northern trunk line is now complete, and has been opened by the king. He is said to be Swedcn's ablcst orator, and he made the speech of his life The fes- tivities surpassed anything ever seen here. The new railroad connects at Boden, near the Gulf of Bothnia, with the northernmostr railroad in the world, running from the seaport of Lulea up to the Gellivara iron mountains, forty seven miles north of the polar circle. This road has been in operation two years. IL may be considered the end piece of a continuous line of railroad about l,2jO miles long, reaching north and south the whole length of Sweden, The completion of this line it is be- heved, will materially check immigra- tfon to America. Nordland contains more than 20 per cent. of the lum- Der of the world, and more than Canada and almost twice as much as the United States. The famous iron mines, the largest in existence, are capable of supplying the world for centuries. The scenery is highly pie turesque, and the new road presents much for tourists.

eURoPe's IMMENSE WAR FUNDS
The Great Powers Are Hoarding Many
 HIiiIion5 for War.

The Great Powers Are HOarding Many
 HIlions for War.
 Prof Henrich GcfTckeu, writing in Nineteenth Century. says that Ger many has a war treasure of thirty mil llicn dollars in coined gold lying in tho Julius Tower of Spandau, a much larger sum than CRsar deposited and Mark Antony cxtricatcd from the Tcm- pie of Ops, and that thc other great p0wers-E France, England Russia, and perhaps Austria-havc each like fund, more or less ready for instant use in the emergency of war If we credit these powers with the same reserve as that possessed by Prussia, it withdraws from the commerce and currency of the world one hundred and fifty million dollars in gold which is after all only about forty cents per capita for all the population of Europe and is not so ru- inous as at first glance it might appear to be. Taken altogether, it is only an inconsiderable fraction of the cost of our civil war, or the indemnity paid by France to Prussia after the campaign of Sedan and the downfall of the em- pire. It is a good dCaFof money, to be sure, to be kept iu uidlcncss, drawing no interest. and making no figure in bank balances, but it is sure to get into cir culation again some time, and warm up the arterial flow of the worlds com merce, as it ought to do, instead of lying lttle in the crypts of fortresses.

Gravcyn,d son.

While cremation of the dead is un, doubtedly growing in favor it appears that the dangers attending the ordina- " burial practice may have been exag gerated. This is indicated by chem ical and bacteriological. examination of samples of virgin soils, pure agricul- tural soils and graveyard soils that has lately been made by a Scotch investi- gntor, Dr. James Buchanan Young. The proportion of organic matter, as judged by the organic carbon and nj trogen present in the samples, was found to be not materially greater in soil that has been used for burial than in good pure agricultural soil No pathogenic organisms were discovered in the graveyard soil, and the number of bacteria present, though greater than in virgin soil, was much smaller than one might expect. The ground water layer of soil below the cofiins was practically free from bacterla. The results, in fact, tend to support the idea that properly conducted burial in suitable and well-drained soils can cause no risk to public health

.-.-in. mated Ices.

The British institute of preventive medicine is making an investigation of the ice cream sold in the London streets and consumed in great measure by young children. The number of bacteria in various samples has already been de- termined, and the investigation will now be directed to ascertaining wheth- CT any of these are disease producing. Meanwhile simultaneously with the revelations as to the impurities con tained in ices sold in the streets in Lon don, comes still more disquieting news from Paris. The examination of a se- ries of samples of ices, seized on behalf of the municipal laboratory, has shown that the ices simply swarm with mi erObes of all kinds, besides containing fecal matter and other disgusting im- purities These ices are sold in ap. parently respectable cafes, and the mu- nicfpal authorities seem to bc unable tc s'Hp Hc s,lg

Why steam Casts a shndo,g.

"The water in the water gauge of my locomotive casts no shadow, while the steam in the upper part of the gauge does. Why is this?" "Pure water in a state of rest is of uniform density, and the rays of light, although they may be refracted, pass through it almost unimped-l in parallel lines. On the other hand steam is composed of vapor of varying degrees of density and all ways intermingled with more or less air. In the steam gauge these are con stantly in q state of agitation, SO that when the rays of light enter it they are not uniformly refracted This being the case they interfere with and neu- traiizc each other, the result, as far as the shadow is concerned, being as if the steam and the intermingling had really combined so as to form an opaque body"

The theory that turquoises are the result of the fossilization of the teeth of animals is apparently confirmed by the experiments of French scien- list, who has found that fossil bones, amethysts, and turquoises all contain nuorin.

A BIG ICE FLoE.
The Dallas Rammed it to Pieces Yester.
III day.

The large cake of ice, which has been ly-
ing in the bay. began to make trouble yes
terday. Il was nearly two miles long and
a mile wide, and from four 10 eight inches
in thickness. On the ebb tide it began to
drift towards the mouth Of the harbor. ina-
pefilling alalge number of vessels anchored
in the roadstead and in he inner harbor.
1t fortunately happened that the revenue
cutter Dallas, Captain Tengar was in the
harbor, and she at once attacked the great
foe about nine o'clock The Dallas, her
PROV fitted with steel shield, would back
off and ram into he foe. The cutter worked
that way Until three O'clock in The after
noon. when the whole great foe was broken
up. This will be great thing for the ship
ming in he harbor.
