REQUISITE HOURS OF SLEEP
Acknowledged Fact That Brain Work
ers Need Less Than Those En-
gagged in Manual Labor.

Periodic sleeping is undeniably an
essential to the continuance Of life, but
sleep is required more as means OF
recuperation from physical WEAKNESS
than from mental activity. an exchange
observes. The best thinkers are the
sh 'rtest sleepers, and on the other
hand rs manual laborers require the
longest periods of sleep. The classic
example cited 70 prove that the thing
or does not need as much sleep as the
ordinary man takes is Thomas A. Edl-
son, who during the most active years
OF his life is said 70 have Slept only
four hours q day. 1t is not so general
IN known that Herbert Spencer, the
philosopher, in his later life did not
average more than three hours of sleep
a day.
These instances should not lead TO
ill-advised efforts to emulate the ex-
treme examples. One should not at
tempt to do better thinking by Keep
ing longer awake, but the effort should
be made to do better thinking, which
viii result in Keeping longer awake.
For II the body be not fatigued or
rugged with poison, sleep comes chief
" from the slowing down Of the men

Month Of Harvest Moon.

Aside from the autumKll equinox,
September each year is marked by an
other astronomical event of considera-
bic interest, namely. the so-caled har-
vest moon, it being the full moon near

est moon rises at nearly the same time
for several successive evenings in,

night to night, as is usually the case,

Mistakes of military signalers are
sometimes amusing. A German pris-
oner escaped from an internment camp,
and to facilitate recapture a descrip-
ton of the man was circulated. The
description contained a succession of
sibilant sounds, which rendered its re-
caption by telephone somewhat diff
cult. One slgnaler, after struggling val
iantly with the prisoners name, APP

with "helght foot all ~ and

New Year in British Navy.

Three hundred and siXty-four times
in the year is midnight's passing mark
ed by the striking of eight bells
in every ship in the British navy.
At the moment when the old year
draws it's last breath, and the new
year is born, the whole navy strikes
16 bells, but never on any other Oc-
casiOn, for then eight are given to
bid farewell to the old year and to
welcome the new. BY tradition, the
youngest officer of the ship strikes the
bell, and by tradition the youngest boy
in the ship acts as his echo by ham,
mering the blackSmith'S anvil.
