BRINGS SANDMAN IN HURRY
AZ S'ecp-inducer, Amateur Psycholo
eist Has Scheme Far Superior
to Counting Sheep.

Counting sheep" used to be the
great recipe for going to sleep. You
simply closed your eyes, imagined a
rail fence with gap in it and white,
woolly sheep jumping through, one at
a time. You counted them carefully
as they came, and about the time you
got to about 296, why, off you dropped
to Sunderland
But the amateur psychologist says
counting sheep is old-fashioned and
impractical now. The trouble was, he
explains, the people used their imagina.
tons too much. Instead of combining
themselves solely to the sheep, they
would imagine a whole pasture, with
trees and hills and a sky full of clouds
beyond, and their attention was SO diff
fused keeping track of the landscape
that they couldn't keep their minds
concentrated on the sheep. Presently
they lost interest and then old man In
sOmnia camped on their trail for sew
eral hours.
The newer and more scientific meth
Cd for hypnOtiZing yourself to sleep,
says the amateur psychologist, is to
find out your particular drOwsy OBJ
session and concentrate.
Whenever feel a nervous, wakeful
night coming on" he says, II imagine
myself in the interior of vast, dim
cathedral. Only single ray of light
filters in and it falls on the crossing
aisle. An endless procession of hooded
monks is moving slowly down this
aisle, and l count them as they pass
through the ray of light. one at a time.
My mind is wholly engrossed with this
slowly moving procession, and the in
terror of the cathedral Is so obscure
and dim that it does not distract me
st all. Sometimes / fancy / hear far
off strains of q pipe organ. The sug-
gestion of music speeds the sleep in
ducing process.
Il never have to count more than q
hundred monks before the sandman
gets me-"

NOT ALL AFRAID
Airplane Has Odd Effect on
Denizens of Jungle.
Many Animals Fled From Strange
Sight but Others Showed Neither
Fear Nor Curiosity.

Jason Humphreys, the twelve-year-
old English hoy who flew with his
father, the pilot. camera man and
a scientist from Cairo 70 Cape Town,
enjoyed more novel experience than
most boys Of his age will ever know.
The sudden change from bush TO
civilization as represented by clear
ings for small villages and farms and
back again impressed young Hum
phreyS very much. He was more in
terested, however, in the behavior of
the wild beasts and birds over which
he was flying. These took the pass
ing of the a:rplane variOusly. Birds
showed almost no curiosity except in
the remOtest regions. They just
flew along with us or left u.s. says
Jason. This. il is said, is because
birds fly far. and during the years of
the war, African birds undoubtedly
saw flying machines and became more
or less used 10 them.
Wild beasts showed individual tenn
peraments Lions and leopards could
be seen stalking along. oblivious to
the giant purring overhead. If the ma
chine came so low that the noise of
the engine could not help reaching
them, they sidled under protecting
underbrush, but they never looked up.
The naturalist has offered no explana-
ton for this. Ii is new phenOme-
non and must be studied.
Usually lions and leopards are In
terror of strange noises. and know
from infancy. by instinct. that gun
fire bodies them no good. During the
late war there was general exodus
of wild beasts from every quarter OF
Africa where any fighting was going
on. They crashed through the jun
giles for miles, trying To get away from
the sound of the guns; they Travelled
far from their real homes. and natural
enemies travelled together in their
fright without moleSting one another.
Since the close of the war bushmen and
hunters have found them all back

WATER IN DESERT
Australian Bushmen Can In
variabIy Find 1t.
Trees. Leaves. and Even Animals and
Reptiles Levied On for the
Precious Fluid.

No man who has not mastered the
last subtleties of bushcraft should
penetrate alone the western dry lands
of Australia. A Canadian ,wOOdsman
would find nothing in his experience to
enlighten him. A North American
Indian would perish of ignorance. A
Bedouin of the sandy Arabian deserts
would die helpless. Australian BUSH
craft is peculiar to itself 1t concerns
desert life for food than with divining
the whereabouts of water in "a land
that Is as dry as a brick in the sun.
In the midcOntinental deserts, when
sun and dry winds suck the moisture
from deep in the ground and all the
world runs dry, the abOriginals draw
water from the roots of small desert
trees by cutting them into short lengths
and letting them drain, drop by drop,
into a wooden bowl But there may be
no water trees or the ioOts may shrivel
and dry up. What then?
''Ah, WELL" said the buShman, they

'.They lick the dew from the leaves
and grass" 1t is related by cele-
brated Australian traveller, Baldwin
Spencer, that, having come in dry
season to dry clay pan, bordered with
Withered shrubs, his company was
amazed by an exhibition of aboriginal
craft. There was no water, no mOis-
ture within miles. and the clay was
baked so hard that to be penetrated at
all 1T must be broken with Ratchet.
A keen native guide presently dis
cerned little tracks on the ground

and, having hacked into the clay
to the depth of about a foot, unearthed
a spherical little chamber, about three
inches in diameter, in which lay a
dirty yellow frog. 1t was a water
holding frog and it was distended with
a supply sufficient, perhaps, to enable
it to survive a drought for year and
q half And the water was pure and
fresh. Being heartily squeezed, these
frogs may yield a saving draft to lost
and perishing travellers.

"Ah, well, if he won't tell" the bush

Chinese FOSSIL Teeth

An European investigator has made
a singular collection of fossil teeth
from drug stores in various parts OF
China, where they are sold under the
name of dragons teeth and are valued
for their supposed curative powers.
Upon examining them 1t was found
by this Investigator that they are the
remains of many species of extinct
animals, such as the ancestral forms
of camelS, saber-toOthed tigers. three
tOed horses and other creatures Of
ancient times, some of which, like the
ancestral forms of camelS and ante
lOpes, were supposed to have had their
original home In America and in Afri-
ca. Judging from the quantities OF
these teeth sold, the investigator thinks
they must exist In enormous numbers

FEARS FRENCH
POSSESSION is
COVETED BY US.

PARIS, Feb 25.-Fear that the United
States will seize the French Antilles was
reused here today by Senator Berenger.
Berenger, who represents the Antilles
In the French Senate, declared the islands
are essential to America If the Monroe
Doctrine is to be upheld.
The Petit Bleu declared there was an
American danger, asserting
"Our American friends love Us. They
love us to the point Of absorbing us"
Berenger issued his warning ia an In
terview with the Petit Bleu, In which he
said
II am exceedingly happy that ! have
been reelected from Guadelupe l am
especially happy because It represents
the attachment of the Antilles 10 France
l am opposed 10 the principle Of separa-
ton which the United States would Ike
to see i'm planted.
Already they are in Haiti and In Cuba
In order to apply fully their famous Mon
roe Doctrine 1t is necessary they have
us. However, the Antilles desire 20 re-
main French. They have 40 desire To
surrender 10 the big trusts"
Berenger's warning was taken to the
foreign office today. Officials Of that de
partment Indicated they had no fear that
the United States would attempt TO take
over the islands.
