Loss Of sleep.


LIN: a paper by Professor H. G. Warren
of Princeton University there are ac-
curately described some experiments
on the effects produced by loss of sleep,
conducted by Professor Patrick and DR..
Gilbert of the University of Iowa.
These gentlemen tested three normal
subjects, composed of instructors, men
not easily susceptible to influences.
They were kept awake ninety hours
without stimulants. During this time
they were engaged, as far as possible,
in their usual occupations. After the
second night the first subject COM
planned that the floor was covered with
a greasy cooking molecular layer Of
rapidly moving particles. They rem
dered him nearly desperate. Some
times the layer seemed a foot above
the floor, and parallel with it. AS he
tried to step upon it he staggered and
tumbled, could not obtain sure foot
ing. Later the air became full of
swarming particles, which developed
into red, purple and black gnats. He
frequently climbed into chair to brush
them away from the gas jet. The ap-
pearancc Of all these men was the
same as if an overdose Of liquor had
been administered. Those who have
lost their normal rest for several nights
feel a lassitude and depressing interest
in life They seem to lose an equita-
bic Judgment of things. Events seem
out of proportion.

Living or Dead?

A young man went to see Madame
Tussaud's famous exhibition of wax
work figures in London. AS soon as
he got in he saw poor, pinched, hun
CRY looking man in corner, and,
thinking it was beggar he went near
and put penny in it's outstretched
hand. From the laughter of the other
visitors he soon found out his mistake.
The poor beggar was a wax figure. He
made up his mind not to be taken in
again. He went into the large hall,
and right at the end was the figure Of
man by itself When he got close ur
to it he stood still to have good look.
Then he walked round it, touched it
and marvelled how wax could be made
SO lifelike. Presently there was a
broad grin on the face of this figure,
and the terrified country man hurried
out Of the room, saying it was impos-
sible to tell dead people from the liv.
ing, or the living from the dead,

History on q Watch Face.

Almost the last work of the Belgian
astronomer, H ouzeau, recently deceased
was an article in which, while arguing
in favor of a decimal division of time,
he pointed out the origin of the double
set of twelve hours represented on our
watch and clock faces. The ancient
inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the
number twelve as an arithmetical base
because it has four divisors, viz, two
three, four and six, while ten has only
two divisors, viz, two and five. They
counted twelve hours in the day and
twelve in the night, measuring the day
by the progress of the sun, and the
night by the progress Of the stars
across the sky. This system, prevail.
ing over all others, has come down. o

Physicians ana Suicides.

There are several theories advanced
as to why the members Of the medical
profession are more prone to suicide
than any other. During the last three
years suicides among physicians have
numbered respectively forty-fve, fifty
nine and forty seven per annum, or
about one in 1000. Nearly one-fiftieth
Of the deaths in the profession have
been by suici de: Some claim that this
result is caused by morbidness result

jects very seriously to wearing them
But after it sees the advantage Of the
big fat shoes it soons learns to walk

ment, a. few days since, the nearest
any one had come to it was to take the
body in sections Give or six exposures
and piece the prints together into q
skeleton. Usually in X-ray photog-
raphy the Crookes tube is about a foot foot
from the film or plate, with the object
between. But in making a radiograph
of a grown person the light must be
further of. The law in skiagraphy is
that "the intensity of the K ray dlmln-

tance." It is twenty and one quarter
times as difficult to take distinct pic
ture at a distance of four and one-half
feet as it would be at distance OF one
foot. DR. Morton used an Eastman
film stretched upon board lying upon
the floor, covered with three layers OF
black paper to exclude daylight. Upon
this the subject, completely clothed,
was laid. -Four and a half feet above
the floor an especially constructed
Crookes tube was suspended midway
between the head and feet. After half
an hours exposure negative was de.
veloped, perfect everywhere except the
hips. Fifteen minutes more would
have brought these out. A complete
outline of the spine, the heart, stom-
ach cavity, and collar bone may be
distinguished. The bones Of the four
limbs and of the feet and hands stand
out plainly. The coil of hair shows
distinctly, also hairpins. Gold rings
are dark. The nails of the shoes are
lEeasily recognized. The figure stands
out in a ghostly manner on a black
background.

"A Floor-scrubbing Machine.

Machines for the saving of household
labor are many, and are likely to in
crease now that electricity for motive
power can be brought to our doors. The
latest article in this line is floor

been placed on the British market.
This useful mechanical housemaid will
scrub the floor, collect all the slops and
dirt as fast as they are formed, and
wipe the boards dry into the bargain.
Moreover, this work is done more
thoroughly than by hand; for the use
of the machine allows the water to be
used at very high temperature.
