tions will be settled once and for all and we shall know just how much sleep is a necessity and how much is a luxury.
 Although there is probably no necessary connection between a lack of sleep and a brilliant career 1t is nevertheless fact that many of the most eminent men spent less hours in their beds~than most of us. It is no unusual thing for Edison to work thirty-six hours continuously at a single problem, and seldom does he do more than sna tch one hour or two of sleep when ex- hausted nature proves too strong for him. Humboldt, the great German philosopher, rarely spent more than four in bed, and Littre, who lived to be eighty, thought that to spend more than five hours day in sleep was shameful self-indulgence. Jules Verne is another believer in the virtues Of little slumber. Although he reads until late in the night he Is at his desk at dawn in summer and by o'clock in winter. Lord Wolsely, like Bismarck and Von Moltke, has always got along very nicely with lit- tie sleep and the list of men who have made a name in the world in spite of the fact that they have been almost strangers to their beds might be almost indefinitely ex- tended.
 Of course this proves nothing more than that certain individuals have been able to live and do good work with extremely lit- tie sleep, but the students who are now ex- perimenting along these lines have taken 1t for granted that what others have done they too can do, theory that cannot al- ways be made to work well.
 This organization of students is not in the nature of secret society, although it has been working quietly in order to get the most representative college men interested in the subject. The experiment was at first begun in the University of Iowa, and while it has not yet assumed the character of an intercollegiate organization students in the University of Wisconsin and several other institutions to participate in this psychological investigation.
 The theory under which the members of this unique association are working is that 1t will yet be possible for them to gain such complete control over the body as to keep part of the system at rest while the other part is engaged in Its labors. In this way
