DRUNK FROM LOSS OF SLEEP.

Queer Results of n Scientific Test Upon
Subjects Kept Awake Ninety Hours.
Experiment TO test the effect of contin.
ued sleeplessness is the latest exploit of
science.
Professor II. c. Warren of Princeton
university in - paper describes the find.
ings of Professor Patrick and DR.. Gilbert
Of the University of Iowa on the effects of
the loss of sleep Those who have missed
their normal rest for several nights in sue
cession feel lassitude and sort of dc.
pressing interest in life. They behave
queerly and seem TO lose an equitable
Judgment Of things. Events seem out of
proportion and often ordinary occurrences
appear to go 2igzag. This is the sleepless
"jag,' and it's hallucinations are as mark
ed as those OF u man carry ing an overload
Of liquor.
Three normal subjects composed of In.
structors, and hence men not easily sus.
ceptible to influences, were tested by Pro.
fessor Patrick and DIR. Gilbert They were
kept awake for reriod Of 90 hours with
out resort to stimuiants or other physiolog.
ical means. During the four days and
three nights Of the test they Were engaged,
as far as possible, in their usual occupa-
tiOns IntIr IneuiS WCfe OF tnc customary
kind and were served at the usual hours.
After the second night the first subject
suffered curious fantasies. He complain.
cd that the floor was covered with greasy
looking, molecular layer OF rapidly NOV
Ing PARTICLES. They worried him almost
to desperation. Often this layer seemed 10
him foot above the floor and parallel
with It, and IL caused him tremendous
trouble, as he stumbled about and tried to
step on it. He staggered and tumbled, but
he couldn't get sure footstep. Ho would
try TO walk on space, thinking the floor
was foot above where IL was, and when
his efforts met disaster he seemed sorely
distressed.
Later the air was full of these darcsua
PARTICLES which developed into swarms Of
little bodies like gnats, but colored red,
purple or black. They gyrated, it seemed
to the subject, In great glee, and he fre.
quently climbed upon chair to brush
them from about the gas Jet. This amused
him greatly. Especially was he entertained
by tho various colors in which no saw the
little troopers as they drove about him in
countless hordes.-New York Journal.

Uncut Copies For Reviewers.

II does seem ungracious thus to state it
and savoring of Incidence, but tho English
book reviewers complain of the books they
receive which are uncut. That important
person in tho big newspaper office, the ex-
change editor, never could get through his
oncrous labors were his journals placed on
his table uncut. No man probably ever
could rely upon wife or a daughter to
cut the leaves of a book for him. for when
they undertake the task they will dip into
the volume, read bits here and there and
never quite finish tho job
