s9 Sir James Crichton Browne, the
expert on brain diseases, holds that
insomnia is not attended with such
disastrous consequences as is common
ly supposed. 1t is not as dangerous as
the solicitude of the sufferer. He sug-
gests that the brains of literary men,
who are the most frequent victims, ac-
quire the trick Of the heart, which
takes a doze of fraction of a second
after each beat, and so manages to get
six hours rest in "a. Some brains, in
cases of insomnia, sleep in sections,

end of 1898 there were in operation in
the entire world about 404, 900 miles of
railway. Of these the American con-
tinent had, in round numbers, 224 900
miles, and Europe 14S, 900 miles. The
United States alone had nearly 178 900
miles, or about 10000 miles more than
all of Europe. In fact, Europe, Asia,
and Africa combined had only some
1000 miles more than the United
States, while united America exceeded
the rest of the world by about A, 900
