CURIOUS CAUSES OF SLEEP.
Scientists Are Not Of One Mind as to
the Actual Reasons.

oSsoHpSSS MTG MOI OF She mlno Sb u
the Actual Reasons.
Scientists disagree as to the cause
Of drowsiness. Some curious and re
markable reasons are assigned fol
the desire everybody has for sleep
Ing. 1t is attributed by some peopl,
to an accumulation in the system o.
the poisonous products of the veal
and tear of the body during the day
There seems to be some measure o
truth in this. for in many diseases th'
patients are often sleepless.
Another hypothesis is that tn,
nerve cells Of the brain dwell apar
from each other, as 1t were, durinl
sleep. The brain is composed of mil
lions of tiny bodies called cells. eacl
having several delicate prolongations
or branches. for the purpose of com
municating with other cells. WheI
the brain is fully active all these cell.
are in contact, or ready to be in con
tact. with one another. but the tim
occasionally comes. it is thought
when the branches of all the cells cur
up. and their isolation means tina
complete communication between th'
cells ceases. The state of body ans
mind that follows is what is calle'
sleep.
The most probable explanation c
sleep. however. is that in some way o
other the internal condition of til,
cells is changed. partly from exhaus
tion and partly because of diminishet
stimulation from other parts of til,
body.

BITTEN BY A DOG.
Aged New Yorker is Saved by Timely
 Aid of His Family.

Gloucester. Mass, Aug 2.-Myles Collier. an artist of No 939 Eighth avenue. New York, aged 70, is lying seriously i'll at the David J. Lyle cot tage, East Gloucester, as the result of an attack of a vicious bulldog. The Golfers arrived few days ago for the rest of the season. They brought with them, among other things, an automobile and French bulldog.
 As MT Collier was about to enter the car. which was standing in front of the house. on Monday. the dog made savage onslaught upon him. Mir Collier was unable to retreat and the animal buried his fangs deep in his flesh. finally gripping his left hand, which the animal chewed with vigor.
 MT Golfers cries attracted his son, Barron Collier, and his son-in-law, who rushed to the rescue. and after a fierce struggle succeeded in chok- ing the infuriated beast so that he was obliged to relax his grip.
 Besides the hand, which was badly lacerated, there were ugly bites on the legs and other scratches. Dr Eveleth was summoned and was nearly two hours treating, stitching and cauterizing the wounds. But for the opportune arrival of members of his family the dog undoubtedly would have done MT Collier to death.

 Woman's Stomach at Hand.

Woman's Stomach at Hand. Chicago, Aug 2.-That we'll de- fined evidences of arsenic have been found in the vital organs of Mrs Johanna Augusta Knudsen, who died at her home in West Pullman, March IT, was reported to Assistant States Attorney Olson yesterday by Prof Walter Haines, Dr Ludwig Hektoen and Coroner's Physician Otto Lewke. Arrangements for the inquest to-day followed. Whether the cause will be presented to the grand jury depends on the coroner.
 Mrs Knudsen was the wife of K. O. Knudsen, carpenter, and the cause of her death after an illness of less than a week was given out as acute gastritis. Some time after her death Charles R. Wisser, a brother-in-law, declared his belief that the woman had been poisoned, and Coroner Hoff- man ordered the body exhumed at Mount Hope cemetery.
 It developed yesterday that Detec- tive Sergeant Sheehan is in Provi- dence, R. l.. searching for a Miss Helen Hesselfeld. an intimate friend of Miss Helena Westberg, who was said to have been on friendly terms with Knudsen and for whom the po- lice have been searching.

The will of Adam Callan was filed to-day in the probate court.
 The Scoyill Mfg Co is going to build another rolling mill which will employ several hundred hands. It will be located along the edge of the Mad river and will run clear down to Baldwin street. just north of Sco- wills bridge. This will make three rolling mills which the company will operate and it Is said that in the near future they will want another.
 A law suit which will create con siderable interest is likely 10 take place any day with a view 10 finding out fl private property owners have any rights which corporation Is obliged to respect. In this particular case the Chase Rolling Mill Co is said to be the offender and Joseph Pollak and others who live near the pIaut are the aggrieved parties.

MAYOR TOM JOHNSON
 AND TROLLEY FIGHT The Mayor is Not Interested in the Municipal Traction Company as
 Stated REPORT DID HIM INJUSTICE And the Much Talked of Mayor Wants to Be Set Right Before His Constituents.

Cleveland, O., Aug 2.-In the dis patches handled by the Associated Press on July 25, in describing the controversy now proceeding over the street railway situation in this city, the statement was made that the railway line of the Cleveland Elec- trio Railway Co on Fulton street was torn up by men acting under the or ders of Mayor Tom L. Johnson, and that this action was owing to the pending controversy in behalf of the Forest City railway, Scent fare line, and which under certain condi- tions can come under the ownership and control of the municipality. In addition to relating the facts as to the tearing up of the rails of the Cleveland Electric Railway Go, the additional statement was made that Mayor Johnson was credited with being largely interested in the Muni- cipal Traction Co.," This statement was unwarranted. is believed to be entirely untrue if in its reading it tended to create the impression that Mayor Johnson had any financial in terest whatever in the Forest City Go, and is contrary to every public statement made by that official, he having specifically anticipated by public announcement any such possi- bility. That he has been interested in the success of the company, as an ultimate municipal ownership propo- sition, but primarily to secure low CT fare, he has openly proclaimed.
 The Associated Press, therefore, desires to disclaim any knowledge or motive other than this public inter- est, and to disavow any other sug- gestion in making the statement tele- graphed.

 The latest reports show that all the rumors to the effect that the Bal tic squadron was in the hands of the mutineers were untrue. When the mutineers, who were led by agita- tors from the shore and who believed that the squadron was coming to their rescue, found that hope in that direction was crushed, dissensions broke out among them and they turned their guns upon each other, those who had determined to die rather than surrender shooting into the ranks of their more faint-hearted comrades, who hoisted the white flag.

 The fact that conference was ar ranged for to-day between Henry H.
