DREAM INSPIRATION.
intellectual Achievements Born o
Visions In Sleep.

intellectual Achievements Born OF
Visions In Sleep.
1t Is well known. says ii. Addington
Bruce in Success Magazine, that
dreams have stimulated men to re.
marknblc intellectual achievements
and have even supplied the materia!
for these achievements. Thus Cole.
ridge composed "Kublai Khan" In q
dream. Tartini got his Devils SO.
nata' from dream In which the devil
appeared and challenged him TO mu.
slcal compeiition. II was dream that
gave voltaire the first canto Of his
"Henriade." and Dante's "Divina Com.
media" is likewise said to have been
inspired by dream.
Many noveists on their own admis.
sion have obtained the plots for some
of their best works from materials
provided In dreams. A particularly
impressive instance Is that OF Robert
Louis Stevenson. whose "Chapter on
Dreams IN his book ACROSS the
Plains" should be read by all who
wonld learn what dreams can do for n
man intellectually. The solution Of
battling mathematical problems. the
ideas necessary to complete some In
vention. have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known TO rise in his sleep and jot
down the Information thus acquired.
In such cases he usually forgets all
about the helpful dream and on awak-
Ing Is greatly surprised at finding the
record he has made Of 1t. which shows
that--as with the visions so potently
influencing health-it is possible for
dreams to aid man In an intellectual
way without his being consciously
aware OF them.

An Adventure That Nearly Cost Zoo

The attendants In geological gardens

sorts. The superintendent of the Gin.

near costing him his life.
II became necessary TO make some
changes IN the snake house, and the

danger. when To his dlsmay he saw
the largest snake coming toward him.
Kissing and darting its tongue angrily.
Instantly he realized his danger
The superintendent quickly grnspcd
the huge reptile Just back OF the neck
with his right hand and with the left
clutched the creature two feet lower
down. where the greatest muscular
power of the python Is located.
He tried to thrust he writhing mass
into waiting box. but the python
coiled its twelve feet of length round
the mans leg and began TO constrlct.

His hands were so moist that tho
scaly body twisted in them. Perspira-
tion streamed down his face. The
python had worked its head free and
was dartng its horrid tongue almost
I'm its victims eyes.
The man threw mp his hand instinc.
lively to shield his face. and ut the
same moment the snake seized and
began swallowing It.
BY this time the attendants had
rushed into the cage. aud they began
beating the python. Not liking this
! treatment. the big snake relaxed It's
coils. Mr.. Stephens jerked his hand
free and broke of one OF The python'S
fangs IN his thumb In so doing.
