TWENTY YEARS SLEEP.

Mp vaa Winkle,s Case May Have
neeA More Fact Than Fictton.,s
Even superficial students OF folklore
know that the tale OF Rip Van Wrinkle,
supposing that Irving really heard It In
the old Dutch settlements along the
Hudson, is by no means peculiar to
that distrfct but is found in some form
or other all over the world. In other
words. the idea that it Is possib lie for
human being to survive in state Of
unconsciousness for q very long time
would seem to be either universal
fancy or to be founded on some actual
experience.
y DR.. Lancereaux In the Paris Bulletin.
of the Academy of Medicine reports
such an experience. the case of a wo-
man who actually did, SO far as intelli-
gent consciousness was concerned,
sleep almost exactly twenty years
The patient. Of neurotic and hyster-.
ical family. had always been delicate
and nervous On May 81 1888, she
was severely frightened and fell into,
violent hysteria, which after twenty
four hours passed into unconscious
ness. In this condition interrupted ey-
cry month or six weeks by sudden con-.
vulsive attacks, she lay until May %,
1903, kept alive entirely by infections
Of nourishment.
On May % she was seized with hys-
terra similar to that at the beginning
Of her sleep, and the next day there
was another CONFUSION. On May %
she began definitely to recover con-
seriousness and by the next day was,
able to speak intelligently of events
before her sleep and could also remem-
Der from day to day since her waking.
OF happenings during her sleep, such
as the drawing Of some of her teeth,
she knew nothing On the evening OF
May % she died peacefully.
The particular case is of interest
chiefly to the medical profession, but
the general fact Of survival in uncon-
seriousness for a very long time shows
how such tales as those OF the Sleeping
Beauty, the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus,
and Rip Van Wrinkle, to mention only
the most familiar examples, could have
originated from actual experience and
observation. Very likely such cases oc,-
Cured more than once.
Truth is stranger than felton, runs
the old saying. 1t is undoubtedly more
correct to say that fiction is merely en-
larged, reduced, distorted and other
wise decorated fact and that without
a fact within general knowledge from
which to start fiction could not exist.
1t Is entirely safe to conjecture that at
some prehistoric period, sleeping not
out of doors, OF course. but under shell
ter, and for many weeks and probably.
months, il not years, there was a Rip
