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-
lions in stage-coach days who slept in
their saddles, and cavalrymen who
do it to-day; infantry who have been
known to sleep on forced marches;
sentinels who walk their beats, car
rying their guns in 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
Speir, 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
in 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.
It has also been found that most
sleep-talkers are under rs 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 ticl<les 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
that is, consciousness itself-slept.-

FRENCH TWIN CANNON.
Can be Fired Either Both Mt Once OF
Separately and by Percussion
or Electrically.

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
aimed and Unanswered separately.
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
board men-of-war, he goes on to say:

WIRELESS IELEGRAPHY.
Marconi Proposed to Substitute a lie.
tcctor Of Magnetic Waves for
the COheFer.

In public lecture which Mr.. Mar
conf delivered in London few even.
ings ago he announced that he had
invented new detecter of magnetic
waves, which would act more rapidly
than the coherer hitherto employed
by him. Technical papers supply de-
tails of it's construction.
In the old system there were an
ordinary telegraphic 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 colaerer that it would
permit the battery to actuate the
sounder and produce a click. When
Williston graphic. (Williston, Williams County, N.D.) 1895-1919, 1902-09-18
MARcONrs NEW RECEIVER.

the waves ceased the coherer would
no longer allow the current from the
local battery to reach the. sounder.
Latterly recording device was con-
nected with these instruments.
TO understand the new system one
must recall two we'll established
facts. If magnet is moved repeat
eddy over wire it will excite a cur:
rent in it each time it passes. But,
owing to what is called lag" or
"hysteresis," the effect will not be
observed quite so soon as the cause.
Marconi now finds that if q wire in
which an induced current is thus ex-
cited he can get rid of the flag" by
surrounding it (not actually touch
ing it) with small coil of other
wire, which, in turn, is connected
with the vertical wire of the station.
Whenever Hertz waves come in,
therefore, and reach the outer coil,
they deprive the inclosed wire Of it's
Gag" or, to put it differently, facili-
tate it's conductivity.
Mr.. Marconi showed two arrange
ments of the apparatus. In one rep
resented in the upper drawing) a
magnet is made to rotate slowly by
pulley, and thus induce current
in a wire below, this wire being
formed up into slender coil. Out
side of the latter is the other coil,
which is directly actuated by the
Hertz waves. In the second arrange
ment (shown in the lower drawing)
the magnet is stationary, and the
wire is made to move past it. For
simplicity in illustration the magnet
is here omitted. The wire, whose
lag" is to be overcome, is now
straight instead of coiled. Simple
means are provided to rotate one of
the pulleys over which it passes. TO
read message Mr.. Marconi attaches
telephone instead of sounder.
Eventually he hopes to have record
er which will take down the MESA &c,
even # the operator is not present

QUEER FRUITS OF JAVA.
Among Them II the DURAN, Which
Smells AbOminably, But Tastes
DeliciOusly.

"The fruits of Java" writes CORE
spondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch,
'form an interesting study in them
selves, there are so many and of such
strange varieties. The most common
is the strangest of all. 1t is called the
DURAN, and grows like huge excres-
cence from the trunk of a tree some
what similar to our pear tree. The
fruit, which is pear-shaped, grows to
great size, often several feet in
length, and has yellow skin, rough
like a pineapple. The most remark
able thing about the DURAN, how
ever, is it's odor. To say you can smell
it block off is putting it mildly. A
combination of aged eggs and the rip
est cheese could not be compared with
it. When you break open the hull to
find what can be the cause of all this
disturbance to your ollactory nerves
and find great CHESTER of snow-white
kernels which taste like some strange
ly delicious custard your amazement
is greater still.
"Another strange fruit is the SER
pent fruit. so called from the fact that
it's skin is the exact counterpart OF
that of snake. There is the pomoloe,
like a great orange; the potato fruit,
which resembles that vegetable in all
but it's fine flavor; the custard apple,
with yellow custard-like pulp, hav-
ing a rather decided taste of turpen-
tine; the poppae, like melon growing
on tree; the green jack fruit, of
rather a coarse flavor; a small yell
fruit, with an unpronounceable
native name, incased in great
burr like chestnut; and a
hundred other varieties, with none
but native and scientific names,
some good, some Indifferent, and some
entirely unpalatable to any but ma.
tive. The orange is rather scarce
fruit, but the pineapple and banana
are abundant and delicious, especially
the former. There are more than 20
different varieties of bananas native
to Java"

New Moon Creates Storms.

A connection between thunder
storms and the moons phases is now
claimed by meteorologists Some
months ago greater frequency of
such storms at new moon than at
full moon was noticed in the records
at Greenwich for 10 years, anG from
other inquiry it appears that Madrid
observations for 20 years give SINH
lar evidence. The Spanish records
show 20 per cent. of the thunder
storms near new moon, 22.S near first
quarter, 21.S near full moon and 26.t
near last quarter.

SCHNEIDER TWIN s1x-1NCH GUNS.

Going a little further in this d.
rection the Nfessrs. Schneider
have established a system that en-
ables two cannon to be mounted on
one carriage; thus the two pieces &C.
cupy the minimum space and can con-
sequently be contained in 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 vet more considerable. The two
guns are, in fact, mounted on a single
steel support, and being thus solidly
connected need not be aimed sepa-
rately; thus the rapidity of fire is in
creased as well as its accuracy
The two guns may be fred 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 notable degree.
Presumably the arrangement, which
has been already applied to cannon
of 9.15 meter caliber (six inches) will
In future be used for even larger
pieces. The power of naval artillery
will make a giant stride on the day
when such progress shall be realized
on shipboard"

COACHMAN'S BUTTONS.

If it were generally known how val.
liable are the buttons that servants
of Philadelphia's prominent families
wear upon their liveries new field
for the collectors energy might be
opened, says the New York CONNER
cial. The student of heraldry, too
would find these buttons of great in
terest, for the family arms in theil
most Apr owed form are stamped on
many of them. Nor would the col
lector's interest be the only value con.
nected with them. They are made OF
gold and silver and decorated in the
most arts site and expensive fashion.
Alexander Van Rensselaer's, for in.
stance, cost $500 a set. They are made
of solid silver, and, as an evidence of
their quality, the good word "ster-
ling" is stamped in deep letters on
their back. Alexander Van Rens-
selaer's town house is the imposing

stands on the northwest corner of
Eighteenth and Walnut streets. His

The butt ons are in three sizes; one,
as big as half dollar, for the front
of a coachman's coat; another, as big
as a quarter, for the coats back, and
a third, as big as z dime, for the waist

They are made by a dextrous smith
in New Jersey, and their shanks have
a peculiar strength, for if they sh ould

manner, with very special sort of
patent thread. Every care is taken,
in q word, to make them safe.
