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

A very strange experiment is being
tried py an organization of university
students in Madison Wis, to lengther
working hours. Upon the theory that
sleep is, to a large extent, matter
of habit and can be lessened by prop
er care of the system, the members
are trying to reduce sleeping hours
TIC a minimum consistent with con-
tinued health.
The organization, says the Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune, is not in the
nature of secret society, but it has
been working quietly in order to get
the best rep:. sentatives among the
students from the various courses of
first begun in the Iowa university, and
while it does not appear to take on
the character OF an intercollegiate or
ganization, the Wisconsin members
have organized along the lines of the
Iowa university club. The theory
upon which the members are working
is to get such control over the body
as to keep part of the system at rest
while the other part works; in other
words, avoiding unnecessary waste Of
vital energies. Thomas A. Edison, the
great inventor, is the expositor of this
theory.
The method, as given out, is to less
en- the sleeping hours gradually and
so accustom the system to it by de-
grees. The extreme limit fixes rest
at not more than four hours a night,
thus lengthening the working day
some three or four hours.

Tien Tsin, Saturday July IA, via
Che Foo, J uly 16, and Shanghai,
July 24,-The Ninth Regiment,
United States Infantry, entered the
fight at I'ien Tsin with 430 men.
An Incomplete list Of casualties
shows Is killed, Is wounded and 2
mi sing. The marines had 4 killed
ard Is wounded.
TIE Ninth was ordered to sup
port the japanese, who were receiv-
ing an en6lading fire. After cross
i, mud wall half a mile from the
city wall the Ninth shifted, advanc-
ing against the fanking fire and
reached a marsh beside the river at
the southwest corner of the city. A
body of chinese burned a village
under the wall just across the river,
where they were strongly barricad-
ed, pour. d in heavy fire, and when
ever an American raised hand, he
was shot. A Nordenfelt gun and
two small cannon were also turned
upon them. They lay in the mud
all day without a surgeon to attend
their wounds, were unable to help
or move the wounded, and were
without food and drank the canal
water, They had exhausted their
ammunition, except a few rounds,
which were retained in order to re-
pei charge if it should be made.
No one could escape. A few reach
ing the rear reported that half the
command had been killed or
wounded, including heat prostra-
tions in the estimate. After the
Americans had retreated under
cover of the darkness they struggled
back in squads all night, pitifully
exhs listed, and carrying their
wounded. The American hospita!
was crowded and short of surgeons,
there having been no expectations
Of such losses. Today squads
searched the fields, collecting the
dead and wounded.

Shanghai" This cablegram was al
once communicated to the President
at Canton, O., and the following il
his reply:
"The President of the United
States, to the Emperor of China
Greeting: [ have receiv ed Your
Majesty's message of July I9, and
am glad to know that your Majesty
recognizes the fact that the govern
ment and the people of the United
States desire of China nothing but
what is just and equitable. The
purpose for which we landed troops
in China was the rescue OF our
Legation from grave danger and
the protection of the lives and prop
erty of Americans who were So
iourning in China in the enjoyment
of rights guaranteed them by treaty
and by international law. The
same purposes are publically de-
c?ared by ali the powers which
have landed military forces in
Your MajestY's empire.
Il am to infer from Your Maj
esty's letter that the malefactors
that have disturbed the peace of
China, who have murdered the
minister of Germany and member
of the japanese Legation, and who
now hold besieged in Pekin those
foreign diplomatists who still sur
vive, have not only not received
any favor or encouragement from
Your Majesty, but are actually in
rebellion against the imperial
authority. If this be the case, /
most solemnly urge upon Your
MajAsty's Government to give
public assurance whether the for
eien ministers are alive and if so
in what condition,
"Second-To put the diplomatic
representatives of the powers in
immediate and free communication
with their respt ctive governments,
and to remove ali danger to their
lives and liberty
"Third-To place the imperial
authorities of China in communica-
tions with the relief expedition; that
cooperation may he secured be
tween them for the liberatio n of the
Legationers, the protection of for
eigners and the restoration of order.
"If these objects are accomplished
it is the belief of this government,
that no obstacles will be fou nd to
exist on the part of the powers to
al amicable settlement of all the
questions arising out Of the recent
troubles, and the friendly good
offices of this government will, with
the assent Of the other powers, be
cheerfully placed at your Maj es ty's
disposition for that purpose.
