member of the Garfield Club. These
were the only two organizations to
which he belonged. Mr.. Allcock served,
as a member of the grand jury during
the September term. Fol the last thir-
teen years he was treasurer of the
Central M. Il. Church Sunday School.

THE NECESSITY OF SLEEP
Daylight and Darkness and the Power
Of Sight Regulate the Hours
Of Rest.

If we are to believe an eminent
British scientist We should, were 1t
always daytime" never sleep. In his
why we, or any of the other animals.
should rest. on an average, eight or
nine hours a day.
That period of rest, Nc are assured.
has been determined by the fact that
eight hours is the average period
wherein there is lack Of sufficient
light to enable us to move about and
have our being in comfort.
1t further appears that the most
fundamental distinction between day
and night is wholly relative to the
sense of sight 1t affects only those
. types of life which have developed
eyes. Plants being dependent for
their growth upon the action of rays
of sunlight that fall upon their leaves.
have a wide distinction between day
and night functions. They eat and
digest in the light and grow during
the hours of darkness.
The lower forms of animal life-the
sightless inhabitants of ocean depths
do not rest at regular intervals. They
prowl about necessarily, seeking prey
by the sense of touch alone. When
they rest, we are told, 1t is at irregular
intervals. In other words, they have
no distinct periodicity of their own.
But soon as eyes are developed. and in
proportion to this development, ami
mails begin to divide theiT~times into
two main portions, a waking and a
sleeping time While there is light
they perform all motive functions:
when darkness comes they retire to
nest or lair to rest.
