One Theory of Sleep.

When lower forms of animal life are
experimental with in the laboratory,
the tendency is to diminished activity
or complete rest (sleep) in. the dark
and to increased activity in the light,
writes Frederick Peterson in The At
lantic.
This chemical effect upon proJoplasm
in general becomes rhythmic with the
alternating day and night, and in the
hundred million years that led to the
evolution of man, the original terras-
trial protoplasmic rhythm became an
established function of animal life.
With the development Of nervous
system this regular periodicity of ac-
tion and inaction was doubtless taken
over to a considerable extent by the
neurons of protoplasm. If this be
true, may we not look upon sleep, that
robs us of twenty-three years OF activ-
ity in our short lives of three score
and ten, as a bad habit, as an incident
or rather accident of our existence on
this particular planet.
One wonders, for instance, as to the
, relations of sleep and activity on a
planet like Jupiter, with 4 ten-hour
day, five hours of light and five of
night with six years of polar day and
six years of polar night, and seasons
each three years long.
What about sleep on Saturn, with Its
luminous rings and eight moons, and
| also five hours of day and five hours Of
night? How about sleep on planets lii
| by duplex or triplex suns, or in TIC
solar system of Theta Orionis with
! seven suns?

CHARLEY WHITE
is some HITTER
Chicago Lightweight Has Most
Effective Punch In Game.
WILL TACKLE WELSH AGAIN
In Next Meeting White Should Make
Great Showing, Even Though His
Last Battle With Lightweight Cham
pion In Milwaukee Was FIivver.

pion In Milwaukee Was Flivver.
1t is beginning to look as though
Charley White, the Chicago light
weight, who Is to tackle Freddie Welsh
be a genuine sensation. Not since Ad
Wolgast was in his prime has the light
weight class had such an effective hit
ter as the Chicago boxer has become.
Whites remarkable showing of late
is very welcome just now, for interest
In the lightweights has been falling
off for want of II few real fighters to
uphold the prestige of that division.
1t had begun to appear as though the
modern no decision bout had made
good hitting n lost art. But now comes
White with a string of knockouts to
which even joe Cans might point
with some degree of pride.
Whether White viii prove a fivver
when he encounters an opponent Of
standing remains to be seen. That al
ways has been his trouble in the past.
More than once he has had a chance
to plant his left hook on a champions
chin, and, although he nearly upset
Willie Richie. he made a dismal fail
ure of his bouts with Welsh. Even
Leach Cross had class enough to render
Whites best wallops null and void.
Because of these failures ring fol-
lowers will be slow to credit White
with having any more chance of an
nexing the title than he had year
ago. Still there is a reason for his re-
cent success. Undoubtedly his hitting
has greatly improved during the past
few months He has taken on weight
and, although he is in no danger of
outgrowing the class, he is able to put
great deal more pressure behind his
wallops than IS the case a few
months ago.
This increase of power is sure TO add
a lot to Whites confidence i'll himself,
and with more confidence he will be
twice as dangerous. In time he may
overcome his awe of a titled oppO-
nent's reputation and cut loose as free
ly as he does when facing a second
rater In that case it will go hard
with even such a clever defensive box
er as Welsh for it will take but one OF
those left hooks landing on n vita
spot to spell victory.
While Whites left hook is supposed
to be his one best bet, he is not really
forced to depend on his left. His righ
hand drives are just as dangerous, but
being a very cautious boxer, he take:
few chances with that hand. In tn,
affair with Young Brown he was TN
able to use his right on account of +;
damaged knuckle. However, he wa
foxy enough to keep that hand in mo
tlon in order to deceive his opponent
But he deliberately missed with hi
right hooks
