how Long Does It Take to Dream:

Youths companion.
1t is not unusual to hear one say
that he has been dreaming about some
thing all night, when possibly his
dream occupied only very short while.
Many attempts have been made to
measure the time occupied In dream,
and records appear from time to time
in the papers, showing that elaborate
ones occupy only few seconds. The
following incident is told by gentle
man, who vouches for Its accuracy:
He was engaged one afternoon with
= clerk..in verifying some long columns
OF figures that had been copied from
one book to another. The numbers,
representing amounts in dollars and
cents. were composed OF six or seven
figures. Tho clerk would read, for.fin-
stance. fourteen, ono, forty-two,
twelve" making the amount @14.142.-
IL, and the gentleman would answer,
"Check," to indicate that the copy
was correct. Page after page had been
read AZ rapidly as the words could be
uttered, each number receiving the
Check" The work was drowsy, and
it was with difficulty be could keep his
eyes open.
Finally sleep overcame him, and be
dreamed of an old horse he had been
accustomed to drive twenty-five or
thirty years ago. He conld not recall
any special incident connected with
the dream except the locality and the
distinct sight OF the horse, and 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 hav-
ing dreamed, and said to the clerk,
"Charlle, l have been asleep. How
many of. those numbers have I
missed? "None," he replied. "You
have checked every one." Close quest
ioning developed the fact that of the
figures 1912 IL he had heard the
fourteen and the twelve, but had slept
and dreamed during the time occupied
in rapidly utterlng the words lone
forty He tried by reading other
numbers, to measure the time, and
thinks it could not have been more
than half second.
Another story is told OF man who
sat before bis FIRE In a drowsy condi-
ton. A draft blowing across the room,
Get a large photograph on the mantel
to swaying. A slender vase was In
front ofEit, and the man remembers
wondering: in a mood Of whimsical
Indifference, whether the picture would
blow forward and send the vase to the
floor.
Finally a gust OF wind did topple the
picture, aud 1t struck the vase. The
man remembers being curiously re
lieyed in his state of drowsiness that at
last the "old thing was going to fall
and be done with it."
Presently he was In the midst OF q
complicated business transaction in a
Western city. miles away. All the de-
tails OF a new and unhesrd.of scheme
were coming from his lips, and board
OF directors was listening. The scheme
prospered. He moved his family West.
Fragments OF the journey thither and
glimpses of the fine house he had
bought came before his vision.
A crash awoke him. The vase had
struck the floor. He had dreamed an
unllved life covering years, and all in
the time it took for the vaee, which he
had seen toppling before he fell asleep,
to fall Eve feet and break.
