PHENOMENA OF SLEEP.
Experiments Have Proved That the
Nerves Are Awake Daring siumber.

Considerable attention has been paid
OF late years 10 the nature OF the pro-
cesses which occur In sleep. and some
definite results have been obtained by
modern experimental science. II has
long been known that respiration and
the action OF the heart are both mod.-
fled In sleep. Breathing Is slower and
shallower. and the amount OF carbonlc
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 as
well as the depth OF the respiration IL
altered and the circulation undergoos
an important modification. which
changes the distribution OF 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 larger flow OF blood
over the surface Of the body. This
quite accords with the common expert
ence OF lessened power to resist cold
during sleep. The blood Is more Ala
tributed in the skin. and therefore
