WHEN WE ARE ASLEEP.
Scientific Investigation Has Proved
That Even Then Our Muscles and
Organs Are at Work.

If the organs of the body cannot
be said to sleep neither can the vol
untary muscles. Witness the phe-
nomena of sleep-walking, the postil-
ions in stage-coach days who slept in
their saddles, and cavalrymen who
10 it to-day; infantry who have been
known to sleep on forced marches;
sentinels who walk their beats, car
rying their guns in a fixed position
while they sleep. For all we know,
policemen may do it, too. People
who talk in their sleep are familiar
to all of us. Experiments made by
5peir, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students of both sexes
showed that AZ per cent. of the men,
and 81 per cent. of the women talked
III their sleep. A number of things
might be proved by these statistics.
Of these sleep-talkers, one-half of the
women and one-third of the men are
able to answer questions while asleep.
More women than men could answer
questions on any subject, not alone
That of which they had been talking.
1t has also been found that most
sleep-tallIers are under 25 years of
age.
Evidently, then, with the muscles
and organs of the body all working
it is the brain only that sleeps, and
by no means all of the brain. The
senses of sight, hearing, touch, smell
and taste may be very much awake
while the subject sleeps. A sleeping
person hears and answers questions,
rearranges his bed clothing, covers
his eyes to keep out the light, draws
away his hand when the experiment.
er ticlles it. A child is broken of the
habit of sucking his thumb while
asleep by putting aloes on it. He is
conscious of the bitter taste and
dreams of NORWOOD. The nerves,
then, and the brain centers CORE
spending to them, are awake. A busy
lawyer, exhausted by overwork, one
night went out to supper with some
friends, ate, talked and walked with
them, and the next day remembered
absolutely nothing of the occurrence.
He had not been drinking; the man
was simply asleep during the whole
evening. His conscious memory

WIRELESS TELEGRApHY.
tectOr 81 Magnetic Waves for
the COheFer.

In public lecture which Mr.. Mar
conf delivered in London a few even
ings ago he announced that he had
invented a new detecter of magnetic
waves, which would act more rapidly
than the coherer hitherto employed
by him. Technical papers supply de-
tails of its construction.
In the old system there were an
ordinary Geographic sounder and a
small BATTERY, with the coherer inter-
posed between them. When Hertz
waves from distant point came into
the receiving station they would so
influence the coherer that it would
permit the battery to actuate the
sounder and produce a click. When

"Going a little further in this di-
rection the Messrs. Schneider
have established a system that en-
ables two cannon to be mounted on
one carriage; thus the two pieces oc-
:upy the minimum space and can con-
sequently be contained in a turret of
minimum size, or may be used be-
hind simple shield. This means
economy in weight and in space at
the same time.
"But these advantages are not all;
there is another whose Importance
is yet more considerable. The two
guns are, in fact, mounted on single
steel support, and being thus solidly
connected need not be aimed sepa-
rately; thus the rapidity of fire is in
creased as we'll as its accuracy"
The two guns may be fired either
both at once or separately and either
by percussion or electrically. They
have, of course, all the latest appli-
ances. The system including the
twin cannon, their support, and all
the mechanism for aiming them is
supported on cast-steel base that
turns on a ball-bearing. Says Col.
Delaney in closing:
"This invention, which is charac-
terized by so great simplicity, has, as
wehave seen, inestimable advantages,
realizing great economy of weight,
and enabling us to make the fire
more effective in a notable degree.
Presumably the arrangement which
has been already applied to cannon
of OBS meter caliber (six inches) will
in future be used for even larger
pieces. The power of naval artillery

sew Moon Create. stor,a..

A connection between thunder
storms and the moons phases is now
claimed by meteorologists. Some
months ago a greater frequency OF
such storms at new moon than at
full moon was noticed in the records
at Greenwich for 10 years, and from
other inquiry it appears that Madrid
observations for 20 years give SINH

show 90 per cent. OF the thunder
storms near new moon, 22.s near first

On vessels of war heavy guns have
long been mounted in. couples, as this
arrangement has enabled them to be
sheltered in single turret; but such
cannon are independent and must be

On land single guns have generally
been used. Lately, however, heavy
guns for land batteries have been
mounted together in pairs so that
the two form practically a single
unit. This arrangement has many
advantages, we are told by Lieut..
Col. Delaney, of the French army,
who writes of it in La Nature. After
noting the use of guns in pairs on
