THE SAILOR oBEYED.

Four sailors, one of whom was
exceedingly intoxicated, boarded a
Brighton Beach train at the Park
Row terminal last week and took
seats in the forward part of the first
car. They were on their way to the
Brooklyn navy yard and wanted to
get off at the Brooklyn terminal.
When the train stopped three of the
sailors reused their drunken COM
panion from a stupor and told him
it was time to get out. They lit
orally dragged him to his feet, and,
tottering before the front door of
the first car, the helpless one tried
to get out. The guard and a num-
Der of passengers shouted to him
that he could not get out through
that door and would have to go
to the rear end of the car. The
sailor fumbled at the front door for
fully minute. The car was al
ready four minutes late, and the
guards and passengers became I'M
easy Suddenly a man who had
been absorbed in a newspaper
looked up disgustedly and shouted
"Lay aft" The command worked
like a charm. Instantly the drunk
en- sailor turned, staggered to the
rear end of the train and went out
on the platform.-New York Trib-

Making the Refuse Pay.

The system of refuse destruction
in some of the English cities is be-
yond criticism. The money derived
from the material in many instances
more than covers the cost of collec-
ton and reduction, and, in addition
to this, heat, light and power are
supplied for municipal purposes. A
notable instance is at Nottingham,
England, where a third incinerator
is about to be erected which viii be
much larger than the two existing
plants. In that city one of the by
products of the plants is bricks for
paving or building. The clinkers
from the furnace are mixed with
cement and under hydraulic pres
sure formed into blocks which are
said to be harder and more endur-
ing than rock Itself

ODD CASE OF S0MNAMBULiSM
Sleeping Girl Read and Wrote In the
Dark--Studied Harmony.


Dark--Studied Harmony.
The particulars of an extraordinary
case of somnambulism We're recently
communicated to an English medical
journal by DR.. James Russell. assist
ant physician at the Birmingham hos
pital. He says that a girl twenty one
years old. who Is teacher of the type
writer and a student of music. entered
the hospital to be cured of sleepwalk-
Ing. While under observation there
she habitually left her bed after three
or four hours sleep and busted her
self in various ways, including de
scending into the music room and
playing the piano, tuning violin and
fitting new strings to it and crochet
ing.
Her most remarkable feats, how
ever, were reading and writing in the
dark. If there was even faint artifi-
cial light in the room she would avoid
1t and go to the darkest corner, where
she would read various books. study
the theory of harmony and write let
terS. One of her letters was addressed
to her music teacher 1t contained
short essay on 1.-THE Sonata Form"
which was accurate in sense and con-
struction. Another letter she wrote
was in German
When she was awake she did not In
the least remember writing OF reading.
An examination of her eyes did not re-
veal the reason for her being able to
see In the dark. She has now left the
hospital, her condition having improv-
ed. but she occasionally walks in her
sleep still.

various ways. Robert showing ability

long list OF popular airs.
