The lnuuisitive Man.

Wet paint as test of human curios-
ity has a rival in the chewing gum
slot. The apparatus at the One Hun
dred and Tenth street subway station
was out of order the other morning.
The first person to discover the fact
was small boy with yearning for
gum. He confidently dropped penny
in the slot, but the toothsome wafer
held coyly back Repeated thumpings
and shakings failed to induce it to ap-
pear, and the boy. looking disconso-
late, was finally persuaded by his
mother to go downtown without it. A
dozen or more persons had witnessed
his futile attempt to coax out a piece
of gum, but they were in no wise de-
tered from following his example,
Evidently each thought his prede-
cessor had not manipulated the ma
chine properly, and that he could dc
better, for before the next express
train came along five men who appar-
emily had never known what chewing
gum tasted like had sacrificed pen
MES on the altar of their curiosity

der the direct supervision of the officers
of the latter. In each of the minor
clubs there are leaders who make their
monthly report to the central body,

touch with the other. The prese

great personal following, which he will
attempt with might and main to swing
under the standard of the democratic
party. He is a shrewd politician and
popular with all classes of people. 1t
is undoubtedly true, however, that he is
stronger south of the wabash, in the
saloon district, than he can ever hope
to be in the first subdivision. His
ideas of personal liberty, together with
his frank attitude of equality towards

will have back of them the influence of

representative of the steel company,

carpenters union, and John Bennett,
president of the Saloonkeeper's Psso-

PERIOD OF REST PROCLAIMED.
Absence Of Light Regulates the Hours
of Slumber.

If it were always daytime, we should
never sleep. So says a scientist, ac-
cording to Answers. There is no par
ticular reason why we, or any other
animals, should rest, on an average,
eight or nine hours day
The period of rest has been deter
mined by the fact that eight hours is
lack of sufficient light to enable US to
move about in comfort.
This most fundamental distinction
between night and day is wholly rela-
tive to the sense of sight. 1t only
affects those types of life which have
developed eyes.
Plants, being dependent for their
growth upon the action of rays of sun
light which fall upon their leaves,
have a wide distinction between day
and night functions.
They eat and digest in the light,
ness
The lowest forms of animal life
the sightless denizens of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals
They prowl around necessarily, seek
ing prey by the sense Of touch alone
When they rest, it is at irregular pc
RODS. In other words, they have nc
distinct periodicity of their own.
| But as soon as eyes are developed
and in proportion to this development
animals begin to divide their time int
| two main portions-a waking and {
sleeping time While there is ligh
they perform all motive functions
When darkness comes they retire Il
nest or lair to rest.
