night he wrote to Garrlck, "Sir, the

outings that has been u from this

Do We Sleep Too Mueh7


Perhaps, on account Of popular opin-
ion and personal habit, we waste much
time in a jelly6sh condition that could
be more proftably spent in active
pursuit Of our ambitions. The answer,
Of course, depends upon the nature
Of our occupation. If there Is much
muscular effort involved, with q cor
responding large amount Of waste in
the cells and blood, eight hours or more
are probably necessary. But II our
work is of a sedentary nature and
mainly Of the brain there Is naturally
a smaller quantity Of accumulated
waste, and less time is required for its
removal. Many are the instances OF
great men, past and present, who have
lived healthfufly and worked unceas-
ingly and strenuously on only four or
FIVE hours of sleep, or half the laborer's
portion. Surely we are not to suppose
that those men were or are physically
different from others, but rather that
by inclination or necessity they have
deyeloped a habit Of sleeping intensely
for a short period instead Of lightly
for a longer period, 18th resulting
gain Of time and eficiency.-Auant1c

only, for he is generally too fat to
claim a figure and seldom has much

CARPENTERS
Get HEARING
Matter Of Newark Union Is
Before the Court.

Nice-ChauceIOr Walker Is holding
q hearing ar Trenton today on The
temporary injunction secured by
Local, No. 1,7S7, Of Newark. of the
Carpenters and Joiners' Union, to
prevent anyone Of the three hun
dred odd members Of this suspended
local from being removed from a lob
tn the United States by a union Of
fetal. The stay was secured BIS the
Newark local, following suspension
IN February from the International
Brotherhood Of Carpenters and
Joiners Of America, on charges
brought by the other Newark locals.
It was while serving notice OF sus-
pension and attaching the import
ant documents Of the local that Ar
thur A. Quinn, Of this city, first vice
president Of the International
brotherhood, was threatened with
bodily harm in a free for all fight in
the locals meeting rooms.
Local 1871 is composed Of Jewish
joiners and carpenters, who, the
other Newark locals contend, do not
stick closely to profession etiquette.
Mr.. Quinn was detailed by President
William D. Huber TO investigate the
charges and attach the funds In the
Dime Savings Bank, amounting to
$500. This writ was resisted and
n money tied up out of reach OF
both sides. Mr.. Quinn's next mis-
sion was on March 10, and proved
more fruitful and vigorous. He OBJ
tanned a writ from the sheriff and
proceeded 10 the hall 10 attach the
papers, accompanied by General Orr
ganizer William Byrne, John Rice
and John Savage. The three hun
dred members Of the suspended To-
cal offered resistance and q free for
all fight ensued. The police re-
serves were called and several shots
fired 20 quiet the bowling mob. Mr..
Quinn received a blow on the head
and lost his hat, but secured the
books and papers.

Itoht and Sound Waves.

With reference to our ability TO tell
the direction from which sound pro
ceeds, attention may be called 10 an
interesting difference between the eyes
and the ears in relation to the size of
the waves that strike them. The av-
erage wave length Of light is about
one ten-theusandth of the diameter Of
the pupil of the eye. On the other
hand, according to Rayleigh, the waves
Of sound proceeding from a mans
mouth are about eight feet long,
whereas the diameter OF the passage
Of the ear is quite small and could not
well have been made a large multiple
Of eight feet. One consequence OF the
minuteness of light waves in compari-
son with the size OF the eyes is that
the lenses of the eyes are able to con
