PUZZLES OF SLEEP.
Noise and Sumber and the Marvellous
Rapidly Of Dreams.

Noise and SIumber and the Marvellous
Rapidly Of Dreams.
Both Bismarck and Pepys found that
noise enhanced the value of a nights
rest. Bismarck confded in his old age
to an interviewer that he could "never
sleep in Berlin at night when it Is
quiet. but as soon as the noise begins,
about O'Clock in the morning, can
sleep little and get my rest for the
day"
Pepys records in his diary on Sept.
%, 1861. that he slept at yelling land
still remember it that of all the nights
that ever l slept in my life never did
pass a night with more epicurism Of
sheep; there being now and then a
noise of pcople that walked me. and
then it was very rainy night. and
then | was little weary. that what
between waking and then sleeping
again. one after another, l never had
so much content in all my life"
The probability that we get snatches
Of sleep at odd moments when we sup
pose ourselves to have remained con.
tinuously awake is supported by the
phenomena of dreams. Mark Twain
accounted for his own disappearing
visitor by the belief that he had I'M
consciously had very short nap, and
many have explained visions of ghosts
as due to dreams during such short
maps.
For nothing is better established in
connection with dreams than that an
apparently very long one can occur
during an almost infnitesimal time.
Alfred Marry had Il long. vivid dream
Of the reign Of terror. including the
trial of himself before the revolution
airy tribunal and his execution. and
was able to show that it all happened
during the moment of awakening by
the fall Of rod from the bed canopy
upon his neck.-LondOn Chronicle.

ceiving corn. cottonseed meal and 81
lage. half the silage was replaced by
alfalfa during the last ninety-eig
days Of the feeding period. This ra-
ton produced gains at higher cost
than when some alfalfa was allowed
during the whole feeding period, and
the finish produced by the two rations
was considered to be practically equal.
Corn. oats and alfalfa were the most
expensive ration and produced q poor
er finish than the rations In which 81.
lage was used.
A large factor in determining the
net profits from the various lots was
the value of pork produced by hogs
following the cattle. Counting in the
profit on the pork. the largest profit
on the lot which received corn. cot
tonseed meal. silage and alfalfa
amounted to $12.O4 per steer. With
out figuring the profit on pork. the net
income on the same lot amounted to
1924. The lot receiving corn, oats
and alfalfa produced slightly greater
profit than those receiving corn and
alfalfa If the value of the pork was
not counted. With this counted in.
however. the corn and alfalfa steers
made 1852 per head against $S.13

A posse consisting of sheriff and
three men were climbing canyon in
Colorado The canyon came to an end
a few hundred yards above them in

be no egress, the sides being perpen

Suddenly the men came to little
cabin perched on ledge overhanging
the boiling mountain stream ZigZagging

THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
Its Name Does Not Quite Fit This
Wondrous Constellation.

The Southern Cross, wonderful alike
to those living in the southern half
of the world and to the tourist thereto.
Is one Of the most conspicuous and in
teresting of all the southern cOnfigura
lions.
Situated ut a distance Of about thirty
degrees from the south pole, it is plain
equator, and also to some distance
north, about as far as the tropic of
Cancer. The farther south one travels

spicuous it becomes.

not like the northern consultations
from the ancients. but. like most of the
southern CONGREGATIONS from the POr-
tuguese navigators, during their ex-
ploratiOns into the southern waters
1t is said that when Dante came out
from "Inferno" he declared that he
had seen a mighty cross set in the
southern armament. and the naviga-
tors set about to find such figure
and settled upon this one as best full
filing the conditions. That it is diff
cult. ut first glance, to picture this as
Il true cross. is not surprising, for had
it been named the "kite," a much
closer representation could have been
imagined. The so called false cross
midway between the cross and the
bright star Campus. although com
posed of fainter stars. is much more
regular and symmetrical in shape.
Taken all in all. this constellation Of
the Southern Cross, which has been
the wonder of centuries. still holds its
place as Il remarkable curiosity. even
with the advance of astronomical in
vestigation. and with the data obtain
ed from the spectroscope and the
photograph. our efforts still find I'M

Every man has the streak OF poetry
IN him, and probably every man could
write one line Of poetry out Of his life,
as any man has one novel in himself.
But we were talking at large the other

then came the question, Who wrote
that line that everybody knows1 One
man said II referred to Damascus. But
no one knew who wrote It.
