SLEEP WORKERS.
Wonders Done by Famous Men During
Slumber.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Some people are not satisfied with having
done a fair days work at their regular oc-
cupatfon, but insist upon keeping busy, even
while they sleep.
Most of this work, done unconsciously
during the dead hours of the night, Is
worth less, but sometimes intellectual feats
are accomplished during sleep which during
waking hours proved quite impossible.
From his cary childhood Robert Louis
stevenson was a dreamer. and his dreams
were horrible. Later in life he began to
dream OF Journeys wherein he would see
strange towns. In the next phase he
could read in his sleep, and such wonderful
books that never afterward was he con-
tent with ordinary literature. Lastly he
began to dream in sequence, and he would
continue the dream from the place where
he left off the previous night.
1t Is admitted that Stevenson dreamed
the window scene in "Jekyll and Hyde,
and some of his friends are sure that the
central theme of the strange book came to
the author while he was asleep His
brownies showed it to him In the night"
A pupil of Prof. Won Swinden in Amster-
dam solved difficult problem in his sleep,
after the professor and ten of the brightest
students in the class had worked for days
in the. effort to find the answer. Marquis
de Condorcet. the famous French mathema-
tician, solved problem in integral calculus
while he was asleep, although the matter
had puzzled him for days. He did not write
the answer and process down as Won Swim
denis pupil had DONE but he remembered
the solution that came in his dream, and
put it on paper as soon as he awoke.
Cabanis. the eminent French physician,
says that Franklin told him, during one
of his political missions to Paris, that over
and over again he had gone to bed puzzled
by political events which became quite
clear TO him during his sleep.
Dante is said to have dreamed THE Dr.
vine Comedy" or at least the plot and char
acters, and some part OF the details. This
vision appeared to him when he was only
nine years old, according to some Of the
stories. while. as others tell it, the dream
came to another child during trance which
came with long illness.
Votaire composed the first canto Of the
"Henriade" while he was asleep. Ideas
occurred to me-" he says. lin spite Of my
SELF and in which l had no part what
ever"
Some useful and prosaic things also have
that the making of shot resulted from an
idea that came to a Bristol mechanic in his
sleep. The man was employed cutting up
strips of lead. out of which his fellow-work-
men made shot. The process was slow and
expensive. One night this workman had
been drinking. and after he went to bed he
dreamed that 1t was raining. AS he watched
the rain 1t turned to lead, and the earth
was covered with shot. He awoke, and,
filed with his dream, went up into the
tower of st. Mary Radcliffe, in Bristol and
melting some lead poured 1t out from the top
Of the tower. When he went to look for the
lead he found 1t had taken the form of
shot Thus the shot tower became fact
and the workman made a fortune out of his
dream.

The Millionaire and the Muse.
ron, the philsdelohia Record

If it cost money to patronize poetry as It
does to patronize art, our millionaires who
find all existing means of spending their
wealth insufficient would be glad to incur
the expense. man can buy pictures and
statues and assert his opulence thereby, but
he can't excite public admiration and envy
by buying books of poetry. OF course, he
could publish the works of poet, but then
he would have the books to sell and until
the hooks are sold tire author is not a
famous poet. There Is way of financing
poetry and hence Millionaire and the
muse don't get together.

HOW MUSIC IS WRITTEN.
Composers Cannot Tell Just How
They Do It.

havefsrhicyed popularity all over the
United States was recently asked how
ne composed music.

have the idea that, after melody Is
written, the composer must sit dowr
at the piano and hammer out har
mony, but, as fact. no musician ever
hears melody without at the same
time heading in his own mind all the
harmonies that are appropriate to-it.
A st. Louis orchestra leader, who Is

tries to write music until he feels the
inspiration.
