came into the room an hour later,

SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP

From the Brain, Gays Mo1am
Physiology.

An the organs Of Life rest IN some
way or other. The heart has an in
terval OF rest between each combined
act of contraction and expansion and
the beginning of a fresh act Be
tween each expiration OF the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
is a period Of repose. Psychologists
have calculated that the heart re-
poses during about one-fourth OF the
time.
Certain OF the other organs suspend
their activity In part during sleep.
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure of the
blood on the brain. But modern
physiology. with a tendency to regard
the brain as the origin of all force
and Of all functions Of the body, in
clines to the view that sleep is
caused by withdrawal of blood from
the brain.
AS rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep II requires. Webster went
to- bed at nine o'clock and rose at
I've. General Grant used to say, dur
ing his campaigns, II can do moth
ing without nine hours sleep"
A curious trait has marked men of
large brain-that OF sleeping at will.
Bonaparte used 10 throw himself on
the ground and 20 to sleep within
a space q two minutes. Pitt was a
sound sleeper, and slept night after

question arose as to how far the mag
azine publishers might go in sending
advertising through the mail at ex-
press speed and at a much less cost
than the rate on the white paper IL
1t were shipped by slow freight. The
rate on the white paper alone by
freight from New York to Boise is
81 cents a pound, but the magazine
publishers were permitted to send
their product, one-third reading mat
ter and two-thirds advertising,
through the fast mails by the pay
ment of only one cent a pound.
The tremendous bulk Of the publ
cations created a serious problem for
the postal authorities. Postmaster
General Hitchcock took the question
up with President Taft and 1t was
agreed that the magazine publishers
were taking undue advantage of the
publishers postal rate.
President Taft did not demand the
immediate inactment of a law on the
subject, but he suggested a thorough
investigation, and meantime Mr..
Hitchcock undertook to put into force
regulations that would relieve the de-
partment of a deficit that was caused
to a large extent by carrying thou
sands of tons of magazine advertis-
ing matter through the mails at a
cent a pound.
The magazine publishers resented
the action of the president and their
resentment took the form Of the un-
reasonable, bitter and in many cases
