 The state of dreaming has at eIi times attracted the attention or pny- sioIogists, and the study of this sup9ecL almost all, of us dream. and for that reason all seek solution of tnis lnIer- Nestinr problem, says Modern Society.
 Dreams resemble reality so strangely that one wishes to find the actual cause of these mysterious reminiscenees @ or fantastic divinatsons which fataliy es- cape. the action of the will.
 We cannot even direct our dreams as we wish; they come of themselves, without any invitation on our part, and they disappear without any possibility of our retaining them. Happy or som serve their mysterious origin for us.
 Dreams are. properly speaking, not only a direct conseduence Of the mem ory in repose; they constitute It's pri- mord.al factor. They are less frequent when the repose results normally from rational fatigue. and, tn erefore. adults in good health. for example, dream much less freQuently than old men, and their dreams are generally happy ones.
 This, again. accounts for the greater frequency of dreams In women. Tn@ statistical side of the question has re- cently interested a Vienna doctor, who has published the following figures:
 Thirteen men out of hundred, as against th.rty-three women, dream dur ing their sleep.
 The number of men who dream fre- Quently is 27 per cent: that of women is 45 per cent. As a general rule, it may be said that the weaker sex has twice as much tendency to dreaming as the opposite sex
 The cerebral phenomenon under con- alteration is absolutely unknown to 9 per cent, and IA per cent dream only rarely.

After Writing Speech By Hand He
 Punctuates Copy.
 Washington, Jan. 4.---tSpeciai.5 5---At- torney Genera Bonaparte is man of commas. After he has written a speech his. main concern generally is that the commas be correctly and abundantly placed He writes speech so precisely that he generally gets into It at the first trial just about the words and the phrases he wants, and has to bother himself but little on that score when once the speech is done. But punctuation, especially the minor marks, are something different The proper arrangement of them comes in the polishing-up process.
 < And when one says the Attorney General writes a speech 1t means exactly that. He writes his speeches in a round. legible hand that might be taken for a schoolgirls, turning of page after page of manuscript, which is then intrusted to the typewriter, Other cabinet officers put pen to paper in the preparation of speeches through the medium of q stenographer. But Attorney General Bonaparte never dictates a speech. He does dictate le- gal briefs, however. When he has completed such tasks, and the cleanly fypewritten manuscript is placed be- fore him, he writes all over the mar gins and between the lines. making tn e corrections till the product resembles a piece of copy from an old-time newspaper editor.

FEWER KILLED ON TRAINS. union Pacific Signal system shows Good peaulfs.

q
 Chicago, Jan. 4.---As a result of the installation of improved signaling sys- tems the Union Pacific has materially reduced the number of accidents upon its lines. In 1907 there were 1909 per. sons killed or injured, as compared with 2,0s7 in 1906.
 To make it's block signals and app pliances more effective the company has constantly conducted surprise tests for its employees. Every operat- ing official has been compelled to make these tests every month. Moreover. a travelling school of instruction goes over the lines to drill its employees in the use of the latest devices for the safety of passengers.
 Although the number of accidents has been materially decreased, there has been a large increase in the num- Der of passengers--thirteen per cent more persons per mile have been car ried, and 2.66 per cent per mile more freight. Out of the 27.000 employees only six were killed and S5s injured last year.
 By the end of last year on the Har- riman system there were 5000 miles of double and single track fitted with block signals, and 1t is said that this Is largest amount than exists on any other railroad in the world.
