Dreadful Forest Fires in Colorado.

Forest fires started by malicious Ute
Indians in northwestern Colorado,
swept through the counties of Routt,
Rio Blanco, Grand, Larimer, Garfield,
Eagle, Pitliin and summit Vast areas
of timber and grazing lands being dew
astated, the losses in the former case
being all the more deplorable because
of the fact that these forests retained
the SHOWS for months, thus furnishing
the water for the streams which irri-
gate the lands west of the divide. The
people fled from the mountain slopes
in terror, saving only few of their
belongings. Hundreds of farm animals
were burned. The loss cannot be esti-
mated as yet, and only very heavy
rains can prevent hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars more damage.

Self Inducing Methods,

An article in The Lancet gives some hints on the inducing of sleep which will be of interest to all victims of in- somnia. So vital is the necessity for sleep that any method by which it may be secured is worthy of attention. The means employed is to produce weariness by muscular exercise after retiring. Living on his back, the patient first reaches for the foot and head boards at the same time. He then raises his head half an inch. At the same time he breathes slowly and deeply about eight inspirations to the minute, which are counted. After about 20 inspirations the head, which begins to feel heavy, is dropped. The right foot is then raised (the reaching for the boards and count ing being continued) and similarly dropped when fatigued. The left foot goes through the same process. The muscles which are used in reaching for the head and foot boards are then re- lieved, and the body is elevated so that it rests on the head and heels. He then turns on the right side and reaches for the head and foot boards again and raises first the head and then the foot, as before. The same process is gone | through on le other side Thus eight | positions have been assumed and a large number of muscles used. If sleep has not been induced, the same cycle is gone | over again.
