WAR PREPARATIONS.
Being Hurried For
ward To Florida POINTS

CINCINNATI March IA special
to the Commensurate from
Tampa, Fla, says:
Ammunition continues to arrive in
large quantities for the vessels OF the
North Atlantics qUadron. but the cruiser
Marblehead, which arrived here Satur-
day under orders to load with ammuni-
ton for Key West and Tortugas, is
still lying at anchor a quarter Of
mile from the railroad dock where she
will have to take on the cargo. 1t was
learned to-day that thirty-SiX carloads
of ammunition was the full shipment
sent to this place. Only sixteen car
loads have yet arrived, but the balance
is expected tonight.
The two carloads of torpedoes and
torpedo buoys said to be for the pro-
lection of Tampa Bay have not set
been unloaded A small vessel of The
navy or one of the revenue cutters Viii
probably do the work of placing these
torpedoes in position. The Government
officials familiar with the channel Of
Tampa Bay say that the only protec-
ton needed will be the removal of the
buoys and beacons marking the cham
mel. for the channel is so crooked that
even the shipmaster and pilots who are
thoroughly familiar with it would have
great difficulty in finding it without
the buoyS.

day. He will not give out the slight

of the views and intentions of at least
three of the great Powers.
The correspondent says: THE arti-

are well aware that in declaring war
against Spain they could not count
upon the approval of any of the Euro

against President McKiney's conduct.

will realize the disadvantages of such

himself to be egged into war by Ameri-

MOVEMENTS OF WARsHIPs.
The Bancroft and Helena Sail for
American Waters.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-Cable-
grams received at the Navy Department
to-day announce that the Bancroft
sailed yesterday from Lisbon for Nor
folk, and the Helena from Lisbon for
Key West, to join The squadron. This
leaves Admiral Howell at Lisbon, with
his flagship San Francisco. as the sole
representative of the United States III
European waters.
The big armoreG cruiser Brooklyn ar
river at Fortress Monroe this morning,
direct from La Guayara. She has made
d fine run up, and it is expected will wait
at Hampton roads the arrival of the
Minneapolis and Columbia, which are
Just fitting out at Philadelphia. This
force will form an excellent nucleus for

partment decides to form one.

The departure of the United States

Lisbon may possibly be connected with
the seemingly simultaneous departure
of the Spanish squadron from CadiZ,
which is situated on the southwestern

THE PHENOMENA OF SLEEP.
Our Nerves Are Awake Even While
We Are SIumber;ne.

Considerab Bile attention has been paid
of late years to the nature of the pro-
cesses which occur in sleep, and some
definite results have been obtained by
modern experimental science. 1t has
long been known that respiration and
the action OF the heart are both modi-
fled in sleep Breathing is slower and
shallower and the amount of carbonic
acid eliminated is less than in the wax
ing state: the pulse is also slower.
But Morse and other Observers have
recently shown that more profound
changes take place. The character rs
we'll as the depth of the respiration is
altered and the circulation undergoes
an important modification. which
changes the distribution of the blood
in the body. The limbs are found to in
crease in volume owing to the relaxa-
ton of the blood vessels in the skin,
which permits a larger flow OF blood
over the surface of the body This
quite accords with the common expe-
rience of q lessened power to resist cold
during sleep. The blood is more tx
posed to chills. At the same time this
relaxation of the cutaneous vessels
causes a general fall of arterial pres
sure by diminishing the resistance. The
result is Il lessened blood flow through
the brain, which shrinks in volume.
This has been corroborated by the di
rect observation and measurement Of
brains exposed by injuries to the head.
1t is found that they always contract
and grow pale as sleep comes oil, re-
gaining their color and size at the mo-
ment of awakening. Additional proof
is afforded by Morso's ingenious bal
ance. which permits a subject to go 10
sleep when lying horizontally in a state
OF perfect equilibrium In sleep the
head tips up and the feet go down.
indicating the distribution of blood in
that direction: awakening is accom-
panied by the reverse.
The same experiments have also
proved that the nerves of sense are
awake during sleep. They transmit i'm
pulses to the brain and recall ii to
activity. Thus a sound or light will
cause the pale. anaemic brain OF the
sleeper to fl-sh and tips down the head
end of the balance. it does this before
the sleeper awakens, even without
awakening him If the stimulus be only
slight, These observations show very
prettily how the senses keep watch for
the sleeping brain and how awakinss
is effected. They also show that sleep
does not affect the whole body London
