SLEEP a PUZZLE.
The Mystery Involving "Tired Natures
Sweet Restorer."

The Mystery Involving "Tired Natures
Sweet Restorer."
Although the phenomenon has been
observed since man has existed, the
true nature OF sleep and what causes
1t are practically mysteries today. All
recognize the necessity OF sleep and
know that 1t is the sovereign remedy
for fatigue tired natures sweet re-
storer."
This fact has led to the theory that
sleep is induced by the poisons which
are known to be formed and passed
into the blood stream during wearying
exercise Of mind or body. The theory
Ii that these poisons benumb the nerve
center controlling the circulation in the
brain, with consequent reduction in
the blood supply. This "anaemia" OF
the brain produces unconsciousness, or
sleep, during which the activities Of
body and mind are repressed, the for
nation Of fatigue poisons" Is arrested,
and those already formed and circulat-
ing in the blood are eliminated.
When this has taken place the puri-
fed blood again nourishes and stimu-
lates the circulation center, an In
creased volume Of blood flows TO the
brain, and the subject awakes, renew
ed in spirit and flesh and ready for the
labors Of the day.
This explanation is only theoretical
one, but II Is plausible. Whatever may
produce II and whether it is cause OF
an accompaniment, we know that O
Iessened blood supply in the brain is
associated with healthy sleep and that
cerebral excitement and congestion
must be overcome before normal sleep
can take place.
The relation Of the circulation to
sleep Is seen in the alternate drowsi'
ness and insomnia Of the very aged
While sitting up They are drowsy and
cannot keep their eyes open, but the
minute they lie down the power 70
sleep forsakes them. This Is probably
due to the fact that the arteries have
lost their tone. While the subject sits
up the blood sinks away from the
brain because the weakened heart is
unable TO overcome the pull Of gravity,
but when he lies down the blood trio
kles into the vessels Of the brain, and
the smaller arteries are passively d.
lated by Its pressure. OF course the
process Is not quite so purely mechan-
ical as this, for no one could live with
such fiabby arteries. but the force OF
gravity does act In n measure.
The treatment Of this form Of IN.
somnla Of the aged is not in the giving
of hypnotics, but Of something that
will tone up the blood vessels. such as
a cup Of hot beef tea, OF not too strong
tea or even OF weak coffee-a paradox
since these things are usually supposed
to be inlmical to sleep,-Youth's Com
panion.

Georgetown, British Guiana, Aug, 90.
Much excitement has been caused here
by the invasion of Venezuelan territory
BY Captain Calder, in command Of a
small frontier force from British
Guiana and the seizure OF quantity
Of balata (the gum of the bullet tree,
used for Insulating wires, etc.), which
it is alleged has been collected on
British territory. Captain Calder's force
went down the Barina river and crossed
the boundry into Venezuela territory,
where Captain Calder, at the point Of d
revolver, demanded that the Venezuelan
commissioner surrender to him 1000
pounds of balata. The commissioner
was unable TO resist and gave up the
gum. He has, however, made protest
TO President Castro and the British
consul here against the seizure of the
balata and the invasion of Venezuelan
territory, Fears are entertained of re-
taliation at Morawhanna, the British
frontier headquarters. There has been
much trouble over the balata trade for
some time, and the British officials have
made strong attempts to prevent illicit
trading in the gum.
