DIVORCE MECCA GONE.
SOUTH DAKOTA'S NEW LAW APPROVED
BY THE VOTERS.

SOUTH DAKOTA'S NEW LAW APPROvEI
BY THE VOTERS.
Returns so far received make it al
most certain that the new divorce law
was approved by large majority oi
the voters. This is expected to put the
divorce mills, which have made the
name of the State byword, out Of
business.
The amendment to the constitution
which was aimed at "easy" divorces
requires residence of one year in order
to become legal resident of the State
and eligible to apply to the courts foI
release from matrimonial bonds. Hith-
erto only six months residence has been
necessary.
Another provision requires that all
divorce cases shall be heard at regular
term of court. This will wipe out the
practice of hearing divorce cases Sin
chambers" in the course of court terms,
as we'll as in the intervals between
terms. The secrecy which has enabled
applicants to secure divorces without
the general public becoming aware of
the fact brought the law into disfavor,
and is believed to be one cause of the
eagerness of the voters to decrease the
floating population of the State. The
new law is to take effect Immediately
after the State canvassing board official
ly announces the result af the vote,
which will be this month.

WHY WE SLEEP.
DARKNESS AND OUR EYES THE AN
SWER, SAYS A SCIENTIST.

DARKNESS AND OUR EYES THE AN
SWER, SAYS A SCIENTIST.
If it were always daylight we should
never sleep. So says a scientist. There
is no particular reason why we or. any
other animals should rest on an aver
age eight or nine hours day.
The period of rest has been determin-
ed by the fact that eight hours is the
average time when there is lack of
sufficient light to enable us to move
about in comfort.
The most fundamental distinction be-
tween day and night is wholly relative
to the sense of sight. 1t only affects
those types of life which have develop
ed eyes.
Plants, being dependent for their
growth upon the action of rays of sun
light which fall upon their leaves, have
wide distinction between day and
night functions. They eat and digest
In the ngnt ana grow dnrIng the hours
of darkness.
The lowest forms of animal life-the
sightless denizens of ocean depths-do
not rest at regular intervals They
prowl around incessantly, seeking prey
by the sense of touch alone. When
they rest it is at irregular periods. In
other words, they have no distinct pc
riodicity of their own.
But as soon as eyes are developed, and
in proportion of this development,
animals begin to divide their time into
two main portions-a waking and a
sleeping time. While there is light
they perform all move functions. When
darkness comes they retire to nest OF
lair to rest.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
