INFLUENCE OF DIET ON SLEEP.
Effect of Certain Foods Largely Imae-
mary, Says Physician.

Diet has little influence on sheep,
except in so far as it may produce
disturbances of digestion and

ance of health. The hypnotic effects
of certain foods, such as onions,
lettuce, milk, etc, are chiefly in.
aginary. Even the time Of the last
meal of the day is of relatively lit
tie importance, except that it is
well to let this be at least two or
three hours before retiring. But
even this rule has many exceptions,
as many healthy laboring men ha-
bitually fall asleep over their pipes
directly after supper, and children,
after poking the spoon into their
little eyes nod off over the tea
table, with the bread and butter still
clutched in their chubby fists.
The processes of digestion prob
ably go on more slowly during sleep,
bat they are perfectly carried out, as
is illustrated by the almost invariabe
habit among animals of going to
sleep directly after a meal.
Indeed, moderate amount Of food
In the stomach or intestines seems to
promote slumber. Many night work
ers, for instance, sleep much better by
taking light or even full supper just

FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT.
Prof. Garner Authority for Assertion
That Wild Animals Converse.

The chatter of monkeys is a real
chatter and conversation, some folks
say. Prof. r. l.. Garner, who has spent
the greater part of several years in
the forests of Africa studying the Ian
guages Of monkeys and other animals,
says silence is not an absolute ele-
ment in the safety of wild animal life.
Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes of human beings. This he at
tributes to lack of social intimacies
and nomadic habits. The carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cause to fear
through the sound of their voices de-
pend almost entirely upon the sense
of smell in pursuing their game, every
species having its peculiar odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night,
Selling their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rea
sons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residence
in the jungle he found that the chin.
panzee frequently breaks the silence
of the forest by answering the cries
Cf the various other animals. The
gorilla is less loquacious. but there
are times when he ignores all danger
of betrayal and gives vent to a deluge
of speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpeting of
the elephant is common at night, and
the believing of the hippopotamus
by day or night. The antelopes cry at
night when the leopard is on the hunt
for them, the latter also granting.
