MAN WHO DOESN'T SLEEP
INTERESTS SCIENTISTS

Washington, February 20.-The case
of the Harvard professor who has
not slept for twenty years, and who
obtains his rest in the twilight state"
is exciting interest i'm scientific cir
cics II Is also xciting skepticism.
although the premises are not re-
earded as having been set forth in a
manner clear enough TO permit of ex-
act Judgment.
Although there are many authorita-
tive works on the subject of sleep.
there is not known to be in Washing
ton any scientist expert on that or it's
kindred subjects. insomnia. Many ply
sicians, however, have been called up
on TO treat sleeplessnese
The twilight state" is regarded by
those who have given study to the sub
jcct as misapplisd in the case of the
Harvard professor. and in no way re-
semblcs what is known as the "twi-
light state among alienists. psychol-
oeists aph other students of mental
phenomena The description OF the
case. as given in the press, is regarded
as more or less incomprehcnsible.
Twilight state" according TO DR..
William a. White. superintendent of
the Government Hospital for the In
sane is the liberal translation of a
German term applied to n condition
which is more or less delirium and in
no way resembles sleep.
Epileptics, issuing from a paroxysm,
frequently enter the twilight state"
and for several days. sometimes, do
things and say things more or less
violent, of which they have no recol-
lection on their return 10 full con-
seriousness.
The process of slowly going to sleep
when first the hands and feet, then
the members, and one part of the body
after another passes from the mental
consciousness OF bodily entity; and
finally only the brain seems awake.

lty to concentrate itself OH its sur

memories or half-dreams-is called the
"hypnoSoSic state condition more
resembling what is discussed in the
press accounts of these phenomena.
The evidence of insomnacs is not at
all conclusive. DIR. White points out.
on the matter of determining the
amount OF sleep they obtain lie was
inclined to question the testimony OF
any man who would say that he never
slept although the declaration is by
no means an uncommon one to be
made by insomniacs
Not fully understanding what are
the actual phenomena attached to the
case of the Harvard professor, DIR.

Correct Version Sought.
CONTINUED From First Page

Washington, February 20.--Because
protests have been made that there
are many different versions of Lin
coins Gettysburg speech, and since it
is proposed to have this address in
scribed in the Lincoln memorial, to be
erected in this city, Senator Root to-
day introduced and had adopted joint
resolution, authorizing the Senate
Committee on Library to ascertain and
determine and inform the Senate the
correct version OF this memorable ad-
dress.
Accompanying the resolution which
Senator Root presented was letter
he had received from Colonel John p
Nicholson, OF Philadelphia, comman-
der-in chief of the Military Order of
the Loyal Legion or the United States,
and chairman of the Gettysburg bat
tlefeld commission. Colonel Nchol-
son declared that there were more than
100 versions of Lincoln's Gettysburg
address.
Even Congress has printed it incor-
rectly twice" wrote Colonel Nichol-
son. He suggested that if the speech
was to be made a part of the Lincoln
memorial, IL should be true version

Colonel Nicholson forwarded TO SEN
ator Root copy of the address he had
received from Robert Il. Lincoln a son
of the martyred President. 1t was re-
ferred to the Committee on Library to
decide whether 1t was correct COPY
of the address
