Persons. Often Speak Of An-Night
Visions, But Hallucinations
Are Not Lengthy.

1t ID not unusual to hear one say
that he has been dreaming about
something all night, when posi-
bly, his dream occupied only a very
short time. Many attempts have
been made to measure the time
occupied in q dream, and records
appear from time to time in the
papers, showing that often elab-
crate ones occupy but a few sec
onds. The following incident is
told by a gentleman who vouches
for it's accuracy:
He was engaged one afternoon
with a clerk in verifying some long
columns of figures that had been
copied from one book to an
other. The numbers, represent
ing amounts in dollars and cents,
were composed of six or seven fig
ures. The clerk would read, for
instance: fourteen, one forty
two, twelve" making the amount
of "$14, 142.12, and the gentleman
would answer: Check" to indi-
cate that the copy was correct.
Page after page had been read
as rapidly as the words could be
uttered, each number receiving
the Check The work was
droWsy, and it was with difficulty
he could keep his eyes open.
Finally sleep overcame him, and
he Acknowledgement of an old
horse he had been accustomed to
drive 25 or 30 years ago. He could
not recall any special incident con
nected with the DEAN except the
locality and the distinct sight of
the horse, and of the buggy to
which he had driven him. He
awoke suddenly and as a number
was ended called: "Check." He
was conscious of having slept and
of having dreamed, and said to
the clerk: "Charlie, / have been
asleep. How many of those mum
bers have | missed?" "None," he
replied. "You have checked every
one" Close questioning devel-
oped the fact that of the figures
14,142.12 he had heard the four
teen and the twelve, but had slept
and dreamed during the time DC
cupied in rapidly uttering the
words zone forty-two." He tried,
by reading other numbers, to.
measure the time, and thinks it
could not have been more than
half a second.
Another story is told of a man
who sat before his fire in a drowsy
condition. A draught, blowing
across the room, set alarge photo

and iurnouts for an English railway
company. AZ u fact, NJ. Person was
not the originator OF the hoOpskirt nj

vogue way back in i7l1 ana became
larger and larger until 1924, when II

object of great interest to people of

ren permits the public to have access
to the maze at reasonable hours, and
hundreds visit it every week. No rec

been kept. except on Sundays, when
$500 people have been recorded.
The maze is composed of hedges of
arbor vitae about five feet ten inches
in height, and set so close together
that only one person al Il time can pass
between them. The effect is extremely
bewildering, and any one who ventures
into the labyrinthian paths soon feels
as if he were lost in great forest.
In fact, many people have been lost in
the maze, and after wandering for
hours in vain attempt either to reach
the centre or TO return to the entrance,

4 plain wooden screen was called
upon to create one of these uses for
photographs. The wood was stained
duh brown, one of the innumerable
Flemish finishes. AT the top OF each
panel was mounted Il fine photograph,
all in warm brown tones that har-
monized restfully with the wood.
The photographs were covered with
glass, and around each ran narrow
moulding stained to match the wood

Those photographs were almost
square. but the same idea could be car
ried out with the tall, narrow photo
graphs. using more of them, of course,
and with oval ones as well, and the
gray tones can be used, with the wood
of the screen stained that deep gray
