BEAT THE SEVEN SLEEPERS.
Celebrated Cases of LOng-Distance
SomnnmHuIism.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Among the cases of extraordinary sleep
ers is that of a young American who slept
from November 1894, until the middle of
January this year. a period of thirty-eight
months. He was engaged to be married TO
a girl, but his parents were strongly OPP
posed to his choice of a wife. They per-
sisted IN their objection in spite of every
thing he could urge and the constant irri-
tation al length affected his brain. One
day in a fit of ungovernable passion he
shot and killed both his father and moth
err He was of course, arrested at once,
for he did not attempt to run away or to
hide the evidences Of his crime.
Before he could be brought TO trial, how
ever, he fell asleep, and asleep he remain
ed for the time mentioned, scarcely ever
getting awake at all. When he finally did
awake he remembered nothing Of the
crime he had committed, and nothing can
convince him that he had not been asleep
only a single night.
A short time ago the German medical
pauers recorded a case Of patient who
was asleep and who had been sleeping for
more than four months
France also shares with Germany the
distinction Of having had recently lineal
descendant of the Seven Sleepers. He was
a man who was arrested for being drunk
and incapable. While walking along one
az tine chief streets in Paris two gendarmes
suddenly pouuced down upon him and took
him to the police station and put him into
a cell. Next morning, however, he was
still quietly sleeping on. and when ply
stefan examined him no symptoms due to
alcohol could be discovered, so ne was sent
70 a hospital where he continued TO sleep
undisturbed for about a month, and at
length awoke, presumably much refresh
ed
a similar case to the last two, differing
only In the length Of the sleep, occurred in
Cheltenham not long ago, the sleeper be-
haa neon IN the 'land of nod for week.
