SLEEP AND REST.
Every Organ Of the human Body Has
It, Periods Of Rspsss.


Every Organ Of the human Body Has
it, Psrieds Of Rspsss.
All the organs of life rest in some
way or other The heart has an inter-
val Of rest between each combined act
Of contraction and expansion and the
beginning Of q fresh act Between
each expiration Of the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there is a period
Of repose. Physiologists have calcu-
lated that the heart reposes during
about one-fourth Of the time. Certain
Of the other organs suspend their &C.
tivity in part during sleep.
Old PSYCHOLOGISTS supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure Of tho
blood on the brain. But modern physi-
ology. with a tendency to regard the
brain as the origin Of all force and of
oil functions Of the body. inclines to
the view that sleep 10 caused by a
withdra wal Of blood from the brain.
AS u rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep It requires. Webster went
to bed at 8 o'clock and rose at 5. Gen.
eral Grant used to say during his cam
paigns, Il can do nothing without nine
hours sleep"
A curious trait has marked men OF
large brain-that Of sleeping at will.
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and go to sleep within a
space of two minutes. Pitt was q
sound sleeper and slept night after
night in the house Of commons while
his colleagues watched the debate and
reused him when it was necessary that
he should speak.-New York Herald.

session Of all the stores that had not
been destroyed and of the partly
burned hulls of the vessels. One of
them, the hull OF the forty-gun frigate
Merrimac. which had suffered compar-
atively little was raised by the con
federate engineers and remodeled in
imitation OF the iron-clad ships OF Ma
poleon. 1t was provided with an iron
plated superstructure, the walls of
which sloped at an angle of IS de-
grees and gave protection to the ten
powerful guns with which the ship
was equipped.
At the beginning of October, 1861.
four months after the raising OF the
Merrimac by the Confederates at Nor
folk, the fedora. government, which
had received information of the work
of transforming the former frigate in
to an impregnable iron-clad vessel. en-
tered into a contract with John Erics-
son for the construction of a war YES
sci OF such type as would effect the
same purpose that the Merrimac aim
ed to achieve. The inventor had in
mind his Monitor type, which had
been favorably reported upon by the
naval board and this idea was carried
out in the construction of the craft.
The keel was laid in the shipyard OF
the Continental Iron Works, Green
point, Long Island, on October Is, 1861
and in one hundred days the work was
comnlAted On February 10 1892 tho
new ironclad was turned over to the

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March g.
FIFTY years ago today the famous and
epoch-making naval battle between
the Monitor and the Merrimac, which
saved the federal fleet from destruc-
ton at critical moment and marked
the beginning of new era in the con.
struction of warships, was fought OH
Fortress Monroe. In commemoration
Of the historical event and to honor
the memory Of John Ericsson, the in.
ventor and builder of the Monitor
which became the prototype OF our
modern battleships, the Swsdish-Amer.
lean Republican League of Illinois has
arranged for tonight a celebration at
the Auditorium in Chicago, which
President Taft will honor with his
presence. The Swedish-Americans OF
Illinois have arranged for this occa.
sion an interesting program Of exer.
cises to give expression to their patri-
otto pride in their famous country.
man John Ericsson, who was born in
Sweden in 1904 and came to the Unit.
ed States about 1910.
Ericsson has received an excellent
scientific training and at the age OF
twenty-four was captain Of engineers
in the Swedish army. Mathematics
and mechanics were his favorite stud.
les and he invented many valuable
and important instruments and contri
vances, including caloric and steam
engines. Two years after his arrival
in this country he designed for the
United States government the first
screw-propeller war ship. the steam.
ship Princeton.
For years Ericsson had studied and
planned to invent a new type of war
ship that would revolutionize naval
warfare. Love for the country of his
birth and hatred Of Russia, his coun.
try's national enemy, inspired him and
gradually his fertile brain evolved the
idea of an armored vessel with a 70.
tary turret, the Monitor type, which
he afterwards perfected. He offered
his idea to Napoleon III, but the latter
merely adopted the armor suggestion
for his cruisers in the Black Sea
without giving Ericsson's Monitor
craft trial. The Swedish inventors
idea was not put to a practical test I'm.
til fifty years ago today, when the
memorable battle between the Monitor
and the Merrimac was fought.
In April. 1861, Capt McCauley, the
commandant of the Norfolk Navy
Yard, fearing coup by the Virginia
State government, decided to abandon
the navy yard and to destroy all the
buildings, docks, stores and vessels
there at the time He carried out this

PHILIPPINE sAvAcEs.

The Uneeuth Tinsians Are Fond Of
Ornaments and Gay Colors.
There are many strange, uncivilized
people among the Asiatic Americans
Of the Philippine Islands.
The Tingians are a very uncouth
tribe Of savages. Their head women

so as to form beautiful and striking
designs. A long. heavy string Of beads

with blue border, and the waist il Of
light yellow. They smoke pipes Of
solid silver, ornamented with bangles,
in the bowls Of which pieces OF cigar
are inserted.
The typical young Tinsian chieftain
wears a stiff collar Of beads and a gay
~ colored calico shirt, over which is a
sort of scarf trimmed with many sill
yer coins. The members Of this tribe
are very fond Of silver. They make a
large number Of finger rings from
silver coins, and each man usually has
from FIVE to ten Of these rings about
his person, but not necessarily on his
fingers.
The TingiaAs are fond Of a peculiar
dance. The music is produced hy beat

A Chinese Russ.

Over 2OOO years ago there was a
war between China and Mongolia. and
China was invaded by Mongolian
army under Mao-tun. The Chinese en-
peror was besieged in the city Of
Ping, and when the situation seemed
to be hopeless he ordered that num-
Der Of lay figures representing beauti-
full women be made and exposed on
the city walls. He then caused a mes
sage to be sent to the wife OF the Mon
golian leader to TN effect that these
attractive maidens were intended as a
present to her husband. The ruse was
entirely successful. The siege was
raised forthwith and Mao-tun was re-
moved out Of the temptation zone by
his apprehensive spouse.

District Meetings to All In
tents and Purposes Will
Be Primaries.
palladium Specially

INDIANAPOLIS, March 9--lndiana
Republicans will, to all intents and
purposes, enjoy the presidential pre-.
ference primary this month. While the
form of the primaries for electing
delegates to the district conventions
10 the same as usual, the issue be-
tween candidates for the presidential
nomination il SO clearly drawn, that 1t
makes 1t practically possible for the
rank and file Of the party to vote di.
rect for the choice Of the man to
head the national ticket
In each ward and township, there
will be delegates to the district con-
vention, who are openly Roosevelt or
Taft men. They will be pledged to
vote In the conventions for delegates
to the National Republican convention,
who are committed publically to sup
port either Taft or Roosevelt. Thus 1t
Is explained that the voter knows
when he casts a vote at the primary.
just who he 10 voting for in the Ma
tional convention.
Convention Dates.
The district conventions will each
select two delegates to the national
convention. These district conventions
will be held az follows:

The Roosevelt men feel that they
have been somewhat at disadvantage
because the Taft managers have con-
troll of the political machinery,
through federal officeholders and the
state organization. But they declare
than an overwhelming preference for
Roosevelt on the part Of the rank and
file OF tho party will offset the organ
ixed advantage.
A Popular Demand.
There Is a popular demand that the
machine politicians keep their hands
off the primaries in order that there
may be an honest expression of Re-
publicans a. to the Indiana choice for
the presidential nomination. Fred
Sims. state Republican chairman. has
given his assurance that the state or
ganization is interested only in the
election Of the man who IL nominated.
and will not interfere in the naming
of the candidate.
The Roosevelt managers concede the
fairness Of Mr.. Sims. but they learn.
cd that in spite of his attitude, county
chairmen and in some instances dis
trict chairmen are attempting to use
their party organizations to advance
the interests of Mr. Taft.
III the primaries are conducted fair.
ly and honestly as they should be-"
says Edwin M. Lee, head Of the state
Roosevelt movement, then the winner,
whether he be Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr..
Taft. can reasonably count on the
whole party in Indiana standing by
him at the polls. And We here at head.
quarters are anxious that nothing be
done by those controlling the political
organization In the state, which will
give men who favor the nomination
OF Roosevelt, any excuse for feeling re-
sentful after the primaries"
