Baby Plays with a Snake.

Mrs. Peter Buelah, who lives on
River hill, Bloomsbury, Pa, placed her
tWo-year-old daughter in clothes
basket in the yard in order to keep
her from getting into danger. She
noticed that the child was playing
with something, and was Mortified to
find large black snake huddIed be-
side the baby, who was apparently
having great sport with her dangerous
p1ayfellow. Snatching the child from
the basket the mother had barely time
to place 1t aside when she was at
tackled by the angry snake, which she
killed after hard battle. 1t measured
nearly five feet in length.

SOME ODD CONTESTS.
HOW LONG CAN A MAN KEEP
UP WITHOUT Sleep
Night Watchman in New Jersey Holds
) Record Of S3 Hours 81 Minutes
Other Peculiar Amer
lean Tests.

Some two or three years ago a Sc
rtes of tests was held in the United
States to decide who could keep awake
the longest. New Jersey is said to
have carried off the honors with a.
long-dlstance" non-sleeper whose
record was SO hours 81 minutes. This
remarkable exhibition Of endurance
was given by man named John
Brooke, who was employed in the Of
fees of safe deposit company as
night watchman
According to the rules of the contest
the supporters Of each competitor
were permitted to use every means,
short of personal violence, to keep
their favorite awake, and some Of the
attempts to arouse contestant when
he began to show signs of becoming
drowsy were extremely ingenious.
Strong coffee was drunk by all, and
while many eschewed tobacco Brooke
himself consumed innumerable pipes
and cigars.
Towards the close of the contest,
when the remaining competitors began
to show unmistakable signs of losing
consciousness, friends" endeavored
= 4 + = i 4
to rouse them by shaking, sticking
pins in their legs. pinching, and even
playing on them with syringes filed
with ice water. OF the IL competitors
in the New Jersey contest the first
to drop off" was a policeman, who
began to snore after % hours of
wakefulness.
These curious competitions, besides
causing considerable interest and
amusement, proved that mans endur-
ance without sleep was greater than
had previously been supposed. 1t also
showed that the average length of
time which human beings can keep
awake was 80 hours II minutes, which
is considerably longer than was gen
orally believed.
The interest aroused by the "insom-
MIA contest" naturally led to other CON
Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury [Connecticut]) 1903-1917, 1904-07-16

tests of an equally novel character.
One Of the best and most curious was
called the "soporific muscular endur-
ance contest" and was intended to de-
termine how long a man could sleep
while in a sitting position. AS every
one knows who has tried to snatch a
quiet nap while seated in an upright
chair, as soon as the neck relaxes the
head drops forward and the sleeper
is rudely awakened.
The rules governing the soporific
muscular endurance contests were
simple. Each competitor was required
to spend convivial evening at the
club, drink and smoke as much as he
liked, and Their take his position in
a comfortable chair, the back Of which
was slightly inclined. He was then
given fresh cigar and told he might
slumber quietly or noisily as he
thought fit. The dropping of the cigar
from his mouth determined the length
of the slumber and the onlookers had
plenty of fun watching the frantic eff
forts of thS competitors to keep a firm
hold of their weeds.
OACt man III pd1 LlSu1oA,
became SO expert at keeping his Ha-
vana between his teeth that he never
by any chance dropped it. Though
it burnt itself out in time the stub re-
manned immovable between the Ger
mans lips, and after winning variors
prizes he was asked to stand OUT
in order that others might have a
chance. Some Of the competitors
would unconsciously puff away while
sleeping, though they seemed to know
