OVER loading OF BUFoRD.

Army officers in Manila seem to
think that there is mismanagement
somewhere over the loading of the
army transports with passengers. The
Manila Times of December has the fol-
lowing on this subject:
The Logan takes back no troops eX-
cept casuals. In this respect her car
go of human freight will be no greater
than on her trip out.
The difference in the capacity of the
Logan and the Buford and the over
loading of the Ruford both ways while
the Logan goes and comes lightly lad
en- was the subject of remark by a
prominent army officer this morning.
THE apparent mismanagement is be-
yond all understanding" he said. THE
Logan arrived here on her last trip
with 107 first class passengers and 116
casuals and she returns virtually emp
ty, taking no troops whatever, when,
with her capacity, she could easily car
AIRY the second cavalry which is to be
loaded upon the Buford, which has ac-
commodation for but 81 cabin passen-
gers and no dormitory arrangements.
The cabin accommodations of the Lo-
gan comfortably provide for III peo-
pie Aside from this she has a spa
cious dormitory. She could easily have
handled the passengers aboard the Bu-
ford and those people would not have
been subjected to the discomforts oc-
casioned by the crowded condition. AS
it is the Buford is so crowded that the
passage is made disagreeable, while
those few who travel on the Logan
have so much room they don't know
do with if -
TOO ROUGH FOR MAUNA LoA.
AS expected, the steamer Mauna

returned yesterday morning at >

the outward trip she could not land at
Hokena and Hoopuloa, but landed on
the return trip. Napoopoo could not
be touched at on the homeward trip
owing to heavy seas. Two boats were
smashed in making the attempt to
reach the landing.

CLEAN THE BACK YARDS AGAIN
Sanitary Conditions Should Ee Guard
ed Well.

While the health conditions IN Amer
icus this summer have been far better
than last year, still condk oas must not
be perfect even now, as already several
cases of fever have recently developed
in various portions of the city, This
may be due to the incessant rains of
the past three weeks and consequent
stagpant water in bitches, upon vacant
lots or in excavations for buildings.
The city council detailed a police Of
ficer some time ago to look after the
sanitary condition of premisep, etc.,
but the work could be repeated with
beneficial effect. On many lots in the
residence section rank weeds are grow
ing, and this is usually cause for
sickness. Look after the premises use
lime freely and there will probably be
less fever during this trying season Of
the year,

Another Beautiful Residence on Lee
Street.

Mr.. John T. Taylor has purchased
from Mr., Lawson Stapleton the very
desirable vacant lot on Lee street,

about twenty-five to thirty-five times.
respirations is greater than when lying down.
A man takes only thirteen breaths of air to the
minute while reclining. The superficial sur
face of the lungs is two hundred square yards.
The amount of air inspired by an adult in
twenty-four hours is about ten thousand
quarts. The least amount of air needed by
an adult in one hour is three hundred and
eighty quarts.
The heart sends through the lungs five
thousand gallons of blood daily.

Weight of the Brain

THERE is just five ounces less amount of
L brain matter needed to keep a woman
from idiocy than there is needed for a man.
The average weight of a mans brain is forty
nine and one-half ounces and that of a woman
forty-four ounces. When brain falls below
thirty-seven and half ounces in man, idiocy
usually occurs A woman's brain has to fall
to thirty-two and one-half ounces before she
reaches the same condition.
Man has larger brain in proportion to his
stature than woman, while. on the other hand,
weight. The female brain begins to lose
weight after the age of thirty; that of the man
not till ten or fifteen years later. The loss in
a woman is slight, however, and she keeps up
a high brain weight much later than a man.

Some Oddities About Sleep

CIR PHILIP SIDNEY called Sleep 1.-THE
~ poor mans wealth." but it is mors, it
is the health of both poor and rich. Notwith-
standing this, there have been a great many
men who have gone through life reaching old
age, with small average number of hours of
sleep.
Frederick of Prussia and Napoleon usually
devoted only three or four hours to sleep out of
the twenty-four, and both of these men often
went for remarkably long periods of time with
out so much as closing their eyes. Bishop
TAYLOR never took more than three hours of
sleep day. and Richard Baxter considered
four hours out of the twenty-four enough for
any man. Seven hours is the time spent in
sleep by the average man.
One of the modes of torture practised by the
Chinese was that of putting some of their vic
tins to death by preventing sleep. Guards
were stationed in relays to keep the prisoner
awake. Death came as relief in from ten
to twenty days.
The use of certain sets of muscles does not
hinder sleep. Couriers on long journeys often
have been known to sleep in the saddle The
soldiers of Sir John Moore during his retreat to
Corunna sleot steadily while they marched
1t is said that DR.. Franklin slept for nearly an
hour while swimming on his back.
The following novel calculation has been
made: Suppose one BOY ten years of age de-
termines to get up at five O'Clock every morn
ing. Another boy of the same age deter
mines to rise at eight o'clock. If they both
live to be seventy years old, the first will have
gained over the second during the intervening
period of sixty years, sixtysix thousand
hours or just seven and a ka.f years.
