We Sleep Too Much.

Thomas A. Edison believes that
man will learn to do without sleep.
He thinks human beings sleep too
much, as a rule, and says sleeping is
bad habit anyway. In discussing
proper mode of life, he said:
"There is absolutely no reason
why we should sleep except that our
prehistoric ancestors got into the
habit of sleeping and we have never
broken ourselves of it. There is no
need of sleep now. We can turn the
darkness of night into the light Of
day by our electric lights, 30 why
should people sleep2 L believe that
if we had perpetual sunlight we would
in few generations get over this bad
habit of sleeping.

the American Indian, with real head

The present Indian head is really a
Caucasian type, the face having been
posed for by little daughter of James

Philadelphia mint, who designed the
present penny in 1859.
On the diverse Of the eagle and

More radical changes are noted in
the design for the ten dollar gold coin.

head of liberty, on the reverse side is

Most DesoIate Spot on Earth.

Which is the loneliest, most desc
late and most inaccessible island on
the face of the globe? Many people
would doubtless plump for one of the
Crozets, in the south Atlantic ocean.
And yet Hog island, westernmost Of
the group, is by no means an undesir.
able place of residence, abounding as
it does in hares and rabbits, penguins,
albatrosses and sea elephants.
Herd island, in the same seas, is
far more isolated as well as more bar
rem, but it possesses, as does Hog,
shelter hut for castaways, and it is
visited by whalers occasionally. So,
too, is South. Georgia, but it has no
shelter hut. and as it is right out Of
the track of shipping any one un-
lucky enough to be cast away there
on would stand very poor chance of
ever getting off alive.
Bouvet island, in the same seas, is
visited even more rarely, and on the
last occasion when ship touched
there FIVE corpses were found frozen
on the beach, grim mementos Of some
unrecorded tragedy Of the sea. Pos
session island, in its turn, is still
lonelier and more inhospitabls than
Bouvet.
But probably the palm in this direc-
tion must be ascribed to Dougherty
island, on which, SO far as is known,
no landing has ever been effected. 1t
has only been sighted twice in CEN
tury and is officially described in the
admiralty sailing directions as "the
