THE SCIENCE OF DREAMS.
views of an Observer Into the VS.
ions of sIcepers.
tFrom the London News)

I Frnm the London News)
! Sleep Is not "the brother of death. as
the poets have said, from Homer to Shell
lev; but. on the contrary, sleep is the
brother of life" SO Prof. Baschide asserts,
who in an article in the ''Uaturwissen-
schaftIiche Rundschau,' gives an account
of his experiments upon thirty-six dream
ers." His subjects were Of various ages.
from one year to eighty years. In some
cases his observations were continued dur
ing the whole night. and in others for a
great part of the night. He watched and
recorded every change of physiognomy. ev-
cry movement OF the limbs. and every
speech or sound uttered by the unconscious
dreamers. The depth of the sleep was also
carefully measured, while from time to time
the dreamers were awakened. but without
their own perception that the awakening
was Intentional.
The professor obtained, as he writes at
length the following results: III We
dream throughout the whole OF our sleep,
even In that deepest sleep which We i'm
agine to be "dreamless. (2) There is an
intimate connection between the depth Of
our sleep and the character Of our dreams
The deeper the sleep the further back trav-
els the retrospect into the past experiences
OF life and also the more remote are the
contents of dream from reality.
In light sleep, on the contrary, the sub
ject OF the dream relates TO the experiences
and excitements Of the day, and has
character of probability. t3l In coma
tose sleep the professor thinks there may,
perhaps. be no dreaming. t4) Persons who
,sert that they do not dream "are the vic
tins OF a physical delusion'' 90 Dreams
Of moderate character remain longest in

THE KENTUCKY CONTESTS.
An Appeal to the People From the
Repu--ican Managers


FRANKFORT. Ky. Jan 20-The attor-
neys and managers OF the Republicans have
issued another address to the people OF
Kentucky. In it they set forth the alleged
trickery which has established the packed
iuries'' now hearing the contest cases and
the ayowed partisanship of the contest
board.
The address then says: we appeal to
the manhood of Kentucky to resist this
encroachment of their rights; not by vio-
lence and bloodshed but by meetings. res
olutions, remons;rances, petitions. and per-
sonal appeals. There should be an explain
alton to the people from every hill top.
every ward or school district, and school
house in the State. 1t is the cause of the
people. irrespective Of the party; not OF
one political party. or Of one set OF Office
holders against another 1t is the duty
of the honest Democrat. OF the sincere Re
publican, OF the pious Prohibitionis,, of the
patriotic Populist to rise in their might
and with united voice demand that the mi
quitous proceedings stop. and that all diff
ferences between the contesting parties be
settled by a fair and impartial board ac-
cording TO justice, after the fullest and
most searching investigation.
we are not alarmists. we are not revo-
lutionists, We do not clamor for riot OF
strife. or bloodshed; all we demand is a
fair trial b. an impartial jury; We are will

interested body OF mer and present our

Lady was booked for a few performances
in Chattanooga very shortly after the
tragedy-in fact, it was, 10 the best Of
my recollection, the next show following
Mr. Plaster of Paris, in which Leiden-
heimeT had the leading role. The COM
pany arrived in the city on the afternoon
of the day OF it's first appearance and its
people, who were an exceptionally jolly
and high spirited crowd, knew nothing of
the exact details Of the shooting: they IN
derstood in a general way. that it had
occurred in the theatre. but beyond that
they had no time to acquire infcrma
ton.
