ambition to succeed Cyrus Leland as

The Science of Dreams.
Hlnndon News-l

Sleep is not the brother of DEATH as
the poets have said from Homer to Shell
ley; but on the contrary. Sleep is the
brother of life" So Professor BaschiG3
asserts. who. in an article In the UaJur-
wissenschaftliche RUndsChaU, gives an
account of his experiments upon thirty
six dreamers.' His subjects were of va
riOuS ages, from 1 year to 50 years In
some cases his observations were cOntin-
ued during the whole Of the night. He
watched and recorded every change Of
physiOgnomy. every movement of the
limbs and every speech OF sound uttered
by the unconscious dTeameTS. The Cepth
Of the sleep was also carefully measured
while from time to time the dreame-S
were awakened, but without their own
perception that the awakening was inten-
tiOnal. The professor obtained. as he
writes at length. the following results. ID
We dream throughout the whole Of our
sleep even in that deepest sleep which we
imagine TO be "dreamiess.' % There is
an intimate connection between the depth
of our sleep and the character of our
dreams The deeper the sleep, the furtE-
er back travels the retrospect into the
past experiences of life. and also the more
remote are the contents Of dream from
reality. In a light sleep. on the contrary,
