is the subject of investigations by the
psychological laboratory of the uniVer-
sity and the state psychopathic hos
pital.
The twilight state" in which the
subject retains consciousness OF all
all that goes on about him, is declared
to be a scientific relaxation more sat
isfying than sleep and restoring the
bodily vigor in about half the time re-
qutred by sleep.
While the identity Of the Harvard
professor is kept secret, Prof. Hugo
Munsterberg. director OF the psyche
logical laboratory at Harvard. who is
h close personal friend of the sleep

Of his case. Professor Munsterberg
said his experience showed that 1t Is

pan Of most unusual appearance that
hung upon the wall. He took It down,
carefully removed some of the SCOT
with which It was covered. and made
out part Of an inscription. What he
found interested him so much that he
bought the old pan.
When it was properly cleaned. It

SUCCESSFUL COMIC OPERA REVOLT

mercy Of Madero substantially be-
came Madero's conqueror and the
new master of Mexico.
This man is Colonel Felix Diaz

leader OF Porihro Diaz's daring and
ability. A little more than three
months ago Colonel Diaz raised the
banner of instruction in Vera Cruz
against Madero, but was overwhelmed
and captured with hardly a shot fired.
Tried for treason, found guilty and
condemned to death, Colonel DiaZ
was saved only by the clemency Of
President Madero, who committed
the death sentence to Imprisonment
in the military fortress Of San Juan
de Ullva at Vera Cruz.
