MINIMUM OF SLEEP.
University Students Experimenting
to Find Out the Least Amount
Necessary.

A very strange experiment Is being
tried by an organization Of university
students in Madison, Wis, to lengthen
working hours. Upon the theory that
sleep is, to a large extent, a matter
of habit and can be lessened by prop
er care of the system, the members
ore trying to reduce sleeping hours
to q minimum consistent with con-
tinued health.
The organization, says the Cincln-
natl Commercial Tribune, Is not In the
nature Of a secret society, but II has
been working quietly in order TO get
the best representatives among the
students from the various courses Of
college work. The experiment was Of
first begun In the Iowa university, and
while It does not appear 10 take on
the character OF an intercollegiate or
Ranization, the Wisconsin members
have organized along the lines Of the
Iowa university club. The theory
,ipon which the members are working
Is TO get such control over the body
as to keep part of the system at res
while the other part works. in othel
words, avoiding unnecessary waste O
vital energies. Thomas A. Edison, th'
great inventor, Is the exposition Of thii
theory.
The method, as given out, Is to less

so accustom the system to it by de
grees, Tho extreme limit fixes res.
at not more than four hours a night
thus lengthening the working day
some three or four hours.

WINE FROM P
Even the Most Knowing
Experts,

Science has lately made It possible to
obtain good wine from the apple, which
has always been devoted to sparkling
cider. Experts have been deceived In
sherry, madeira and sauterne which
came from apple Juice instead of grapes.
Juice from the apple is fermented
with yeasts of different kinds brought
from the grape-growing districts Of Eu-
rope to this country, For instance, the
flavor Of sherry Is due not to the grape,
but to the ininltcsimal fungus germs
that cause its fermentation. The Amer
lean companies import these germs
from the district in Spain where they
flourish, inoculate the apple Juice and
obtain a fine wine. The same process
Is followed with other varieties Of wine.
These yeasts are obtained from the
sediment in the watts OF Europe. They
are easily propagated, and the only
llihcnlty Is to separate the different
Kinds As the quality Of wine depends
on these fungi wiDem0kers have usual,
