THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP

While il is true no one knows ex- acty what sleep is. some curious facts have been discovered about ii lately. For example, when we sleep the lower half of us weighs more than the upper half; the brain is lighter and the legs heavier Ex- periments have shown that if man goes to sleep on bed suspended ex- actly at the middle point of his weight his head begins to tip slowly up and his feet to go down. When he aWakens it is 10 find that his head is getting nearer the ceiling This is due to the fact that when we are asleep the blood in the brain goes off to other parts Of the body The moment the brain awakes to life again it draws the blood back. In fact. the physician can give sleep to the most restless individual in few seconds by tightly compressing the great arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain.
 Our sense of time is stronger when we are asleep than when we are awake. Experiments conducted some years ago 0 ma number of men and women between the ages of 20 and 30 showed that 50 per cent of them were able to wake up in the morning at any time they had decided upon the night before. The resolve seems to wind up a little clock in the sub conscious brain. When the hour ar rives, the clock gives the alarm in some mysterious way to the day shift of the brain. and the eyelids open. Then the night shift goes to SleeD in turn. or at least the clock does not seem to work in the daytime. You can test this by resolving some morn- ing to look at your watch at 1O: 20. It is hundred to one that you will rot do it unless by chance.
 It is quite likely that when all the mysteries of sleep are probed. the various phenomena will be found closely correlated with electricity as identified with life. It is not i'm probable that the molecular compo- nents of the physical organism are both negative and positive. and the human activity is simply the eXpen- diture of given amount of this cleo trical force. When the cells have been emptied, the desire for sleep comes. Nature demands that the batteries be recharged. and she can only fill them properly when the ob- jective functions of the body are at rest, thus permitting the energy of the human machine to be devoted entirely to the subjective recharging process While the process is going on. we have sleep. ."-lndianapolis Star.

the officers had come to the conclu- sion that he must be d lunatic But when the officer reached the Humph- rey house in response to the later mes sage, he knew that the search was at an end. He recognized Mrs. Humph- rey. woman who had come to the of flee few days before with q story told her by her children of a couple of Indians with feathers in their hair. who had come to the house and held them up for money
 The marshal suggested to Mrs Humphrey that the children had prob ably invented the stories of these rob berries to cover the dedication of srnal! sums of money which had been spent for candy. He pointed to the wrap pers which the children said the ban dit had given them and he expressed belief that if the mother would go to a small store nearby she would learn of d late transaction in candy.
 There was a girl of twelve lying sick in the room where the children said the robbers had entered but she had not seen him. NeighborS living in d house twenty feet away had seen no suspicious characters in the neigh horhood.
 The marshal left with the parting recommendation to take those kids across her knee That he said would be more effective in putting down outlawry in that community than the conioint efforts of the sheriff the con stables and the police

\ CH|LDREN'S STORY
 4 DAYLIGHT ROBBERY
Throws Peace and Police Officers Into
 Feverish Action.

4 couple of small children of Mrs. Humphrey, living at Fifteenth avenue and Pierce street set the shrievalty, the constabulary and the police in mo- ton with cock and bull story of daylight holdup. At the time they gave the alarm. they said that an hour had elapsed under contract with the bandit
 They said he had appeared at a win dow of the house and entered. holding d revolver in his hand. fie command ed silence for he said he was not to be trifled with; he had just killed q small boy in the southern par; of town for making an Outcry while he was be ing robbed.
 Then he demanded what money there was about the house and the children dug up dollar and d half from its place of cOncealment. The rObber took the money and gave back eighty cents of il. He also gave them small red pa pers such as candy sometimes is wrapped in.
 Telling his frightened victims that If they 'cheeped" within the hour he would come back and kill them. he crawled out through the window. though there was an open door.
 The children were able to furnish an elaborate description of him. He was a young, good looking man and had just been shaved. He had dark muStache. wore dark clothes which fit him well and had derby hat.
 The story of the robbery was telc- phoned by a neighbor to the sheriff-s office and to the police station. The Sheriff's office sent word to the dep uties who were in that part of the town. Constable Murphy drove out and interviewed the moth- er of the children who had returned by that time. on his Way back he met Marshal Moore who was going bandit hunting and told him all he knew. It had been so long since the commission of the crime that there was no probability that the ban dit was still lurking in the neighbor- hood. The marshal turned back. the officers having agreed that there was nothing to be done but look for man ol the description given by the chl- dren.
 Half an hour later. the marshal re- ceived another message from Mrs. Humphrey saving she had reason to believe that the rubber was concealed under house in the neichborhood
 That did not seem unreasonable for

RANK IN KENTUCKY.

Yes, sir" said the Kentuckian. as they sat by the stove. you can tell a mans rank in this state thusly: if yon see man with his feet on top of the stove. he's a gineral: if his feet is on that rail about half way up. he's a colonel; and if he keeps them on the floof. he's a major
 An, yes" said his companion; that's good as far as it goes: but how are you going to distinguish captain or lieutenant?"

quite number of changes took place last
week in the Electric Bowling league tourna-
ment now going the Brunswick alleys
The Woodill-Hulse team jumped into first
place, being the first team to lead the league.
Roop took the lead from his team mate,
Thomas, who hit the toboggan with 15O av-
erage.
The sensation of the week was the bowling
of the TGngstrums, who took five games from
the Pacific States. The result was due to
Gysins playing, who bowled the high game
232, and average for the week. Gysln had a
little hard luck or he would have annexed
the high game record for the league, which
is now held by Thomas with $685.

the constitution follow:
To insure to each member the legitimate
services of its players by preventing illegal
tampering with signed players. This clause is
not to be understood interfering in any way
with the conduct Of such organized leagues as
shall be members, but shall regulate the con-
duct of leagues to each other as regards the
exchange of players and of unattached clubs
to each other.
To exercise general supervision over all
games played by teams who are members of
this organization, as far as possible with a
view to preventing dsorderly conduct and any
scene that would bring the game into dsre-
pute
To insure the proper fulfllment of promises
to play games, and to prevent teams from
leaving the field before the completion Of
games for real or fancled grievances.
To provide a tribunal before which COM
plants can be adjusted speedily and Impair
TALLY.
