Four Hours Sleep in Bathtub Said to
Be Equal to Eight of Usual
Kind.

Sleeping in bath tub full of water
kept at blood temperature is claimed
by some physicians to give the re-
quired amount of rest in half the time
that sleeping in bed requires, Pop
ular Science Monthly says. In other
words, four hours sleep in bathtub
filled with water at the proper tenn
perature-and always maintained at
that temperature-will result in the
exact amount of restfulness that eight
hours in bed will give.
The explanation is that warm water
completely relaxes the nerves. which
ordinary sleep does not necessarily do.
The most difficult part of this treat
ment is in maintaining the water at a
constant temperature, and for the
purpose of accomplishing the result a
middle western manufacturer has re-
Gently brought out on the market
thermostatic water-control apparatus,
which, as its name implies, maintains
the water at any desired temperature.
In practice, the patient climbs into
a bath tub filled with water, his head
protruding through hole in rubber
blanket, which is strapped around the
edges of the tub. Water constantly

was written somber inscrutable bit

the pipe in his inert hand.

CHAPTER XII.
Behind the Mosque.


Colonel Destinn rode through Sidi-
bel-Abbes, and many Of those he
passed looked after him. One or two
of his observers were soldiers wearing
red and blue uniform of the Legion.
They saluted first and grimaced only
after cautious interval.

never grow old?"
Women looked after him-Arab
women from behind mysterious wells.

grace and ease. and the slight erect
figure carried the years lightly. How
many the years were no one knew.
Thus he rode slowly through the
pleasant shaded avenues. skirting the

plateau. There he drew rein, his keen
eyes sweeping the low girdle of olive
trees and clustering native novels to
the far side. where the mosque rose up
in stately purity against the turquoise
sky. Through the graceful archway a

She knelt down. and with her dark
head against the sleeper's knee
watched and waited.
All was quiet. But on the other
side Of the curtain an Arab crouch1ng
beside the brazier awoke. There was
q slight smile about his lips as though
his dreams had brought him food for
amused reflection. and with quick
glance at his motionless companion he
got up and slipped out into the street.
1t was now toward evening and the
great heat of the day was broken. At
a white-walled villa on one OF the
broad avenues he glided through a
Moorish doorway into the passage. Be

TROOP MOVEMENT
PRAISED BY ARMY
Work of Railways In Handling
Big DetaChmentS Best In
History, Staff Off,
GERS Say.

San Antonio, Tex, July 1.-Th
movement of National Guardsmen to
the border under the presidents call
for troops June IS, is being conducted
more efficiently than ever before in
the United States, according to army
officers at headquarters here. The
transportation and routing Of the
troops has been in entire charge Of the
American railway association. Routes
have been chosen so that the troops not
only were forwarded quickly to their
stations but also in such manner that
ordinary train schedules have not been
interfered with, and congestion on any
one line has been avoided. The traffic
has been so evenly distributed among
the roads involved that none has beer
blocked and all have had share in the
business.
1t was in pursuance Of this plan thai
part of the New York guardsmen were
routed through San Antonio to
Brownsville.
A detour was necessary, put this de.
tour avoided congesting the shorter
lines with trains which it was unable
to handle.
Headquarters here has been in touch
with every unit of the National Guard
from the time 1t left its mobilization
camp until 1t reached it's destination.
1t has been possible to divert any Or
ganization from it's original destiEa-
ton at any time, and send 1t where its
presence might be most necessary. A
representative of the American Rail-
road association notified headquarters
of the departure of each train, the
number of men and animals it carried
the supplies taken along and all neces-
sary information. At each main point
alonS it's route another representative
of the association reported it's arrival
and departure and probable time of ar
rival az destination. AS a consequence
Of this information the quartermaster
department had been able to make ev-
cry necessary preparation without hur-
ry and without delay.
A portion of the New York guards

| deceiVing the Germans as to the point
Of attack
the British front and in reserve be-
hind the lines was estimated a month
ago at 100000.
Terrain Favors British.
The sector of the German front on
which the British have assumed the
offensive forms a considerable bulge
in the British line. The southern end
rests on the Somme 1t is a broad roll
ing country over which the British are
pushing, although different from the
flat marshy and bleak aspect of
Flanders. Its rounded chalk hills are
densely wooded. In many points on
this sector Of the British front 1t is
possible to see the trenches Of the Ger
mans winding about the opposite slopes.
A military expert, writing of the Of
fensive says:
1T Is safe to say the Germans never
expected great attack in this country.
We may hope therefore for a reduc-
ton of the German salient there and
. the securing of better strategic posi-
tions. Far more important than that
1t Is certain this attack will be very
destructive to the morale Of the German
troops"
Friday, the fourth day Of the British
bombardment of the German position
saw no diminution of the volume OF
fire, which continues along the whole
line without cessation day and night,
cutting barbed wire entanglements, de-
molishing first and second lines Of Ger
man trenches, and placing curtains Of
FIRE on the roads and communicating
trenches.
Million Shells a Day.
Considerably more than 100000
shells a day are being expended, and
there seems to be no limit to the sup
ply of them. British infantry actions
have been limited thus far to raids
under cover Of artillery and trench
mortar fire which forms a curtain of
fire over the German wire and trenches.
The new type of British mortar is ca
pable of such rapid fire that 1t can
place six shots in the air at once, which
have proved to be highly serviceable,
both in cutting off wire and the smash
ing of trenches.
Last night the sky toward the east
was brilliant as If with the glare Of
the aurora borealis from dusk to dawn.
This was the only illumination along
the roads for the movement of. troops
and automobiles, none of which car
ried lights. From point near a group
of batteries, the correspondent wit
messed a scene Of grandeur under the
canopy Of a cloudless and moonlight
night, with a broad sheet of flame and
ugly flashes and darts of fire over the
area Of action. Yesterday the sun
broke through the overcast sky for the
first time in three days, and was well
come to the artillery observers.
Trenches Are Destroyed.
Patrols have reported that German
trenches at several places were desert
ed and that the defense work and wire
entanglements were damaged badly.
At other parts the German line Is
strongly held, great alertness and spas
