SLEEPWALKiNG.
Curious Nocturnal Franks Played by
Victims of Somnambutism.

"Somnambulism, sleepwalking,"
said a medical man to an Indianap-
oils News reporter, els more COM
mon than most persons think. 1t
prevails among children and to a
much less extent among young
adults. A case over thirty is rare
and over forty pure somnambulism,
without alcoholic accompaniment,
is almost unknown.
"Three cases come to my mind
now. One was that of a young fell
low, about twenty years old, who
would get out of bed a little after
midnight and make his way to a
stream a quarter of a mile from his
home. There he would crawl out
on a tree, a large branch of which
leaned over the stream, and there
he would swing five minutes or
more, after which he would make
his way home and get into bed. He
never had any recollection of these
nocturnal journeys, of which he
made several. The members of the
family knew of them and got tired
of watching him. So one evening
they sawed this swinging limb near
ly through and when the somnam-
bulist came to do his usual trapeze
act it broke and dropped him into
the water. The shock he received
by this rude awakening cured him.
He gave up sleepwalking.
"'The next case was that Of a
young attorney. One night he gave
the police wagon a run. He arose
from his bed, dressed and stepped
out of his window on the roof of a
porch. There in the light of the
moon he was observed by two vigi-
liant policemen. When he stepped
back through the window they were
certain of their prey. Burglar. Of
course. The police wagon was call
ed. the place was guarded, the house
searched. They found the burglar
in his bed fast asleep, when proper
explanations were made by the fam
lily.
"The third case is that of a young
physician, a married man. His wife
knew of his sleepwalking. which was
not of frequent occurrence, and
kept a light in the room. One night
she vas awakened by IA noise in an
adjoining room. She went to the
door. There stood the husband in
the middle of the room, ii dreadful,
agonizing look on his countenance.
She did not see at first that he was
asleep. What on earth is the mat
ter with you, Fred?' Then, in a
sepulchral voice, came the answer,
q have swallowed my watch and
chain!' The burst of laughter from
the wife awoke the dreamer"

A Lesson In Grammar.

A New York man when he visited
Boston for the first time was unde-
cided at what hotel to stop. As he
wandered up Summer street from
the South station, he determined to
inquire for a good hotel. So he ac-
costed a fine appearing man who
was coming toward him, confident
that from such a citizen he would
be sure to get the very best advice
as to his choice of a stopping place.
"What would be a good place to
stop at?" he inquired of the stran-
ger.

Qeen Water Ewes.

Deep sea fishes, as a rule, have
either very large eyes or no eyes at
all. The large eyes are fitted to
make the most of the little light
that is present at great depths, and
this is amplified by the phosphores-
cence of certain deep water denizens
themselves. A bunch of polyps on ID
flexible stem was brought, up from
a depth of 2,175 fathoms between
Madeira and the Spanish coast. As
it came to the surface it gave out a
brilliant phosphorescence, as did
many allied forms dredged in deep
water. No doubt these creatures,
like their congeners in shallow wa
tiers, emit light in the deep sea, and
the deep sea animals with eyes
probably congregate round them or
grope their way in the gloom from
one collection to another as they lie
scattered over the bottom.-Har-
