| BRAIN ASLEEP KEEPS TIME.
Wrapt In Slumber Man Ha» Better
Iu *a of Hoar Than When
Awake.
That a man may have a hatter idea of
the time of night when he awakens
from a good sleep than he would have
of the time of day, provided he were
working unusually hard, with unusual
Intentness of purpose, is one of the odd
facts connected with the operation of the
human brain, says the Chicago Tribune.
But on the other hand, if a man may
work with such intensity of purpose as
to forget the lapse of two or three hours
of daylight, so he may sleep with a
soundness that prevents the little time
keeper of the brain from making sub
conscious note of the hour hand of the
clock in the night. As between the two
conditions, however, it is the opinion of
Dr. O. A. King, professor of nervous dis
eases in the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, that the awakened sleeper
usually has a better idea of the flight of
the night than the other may have of the
flight of the day.
"Under ordinary circumstances the
person who is in normal sleep Is not
asleep,” said the doctor. “That one nook
in the brain which takes cognizance of
time is alert to an extent not appreciated
by the layman. Awakening at any time
in the night the person In good health
an ;ol : 1 cws pretty closely
w’.'.-fher it is r..!.’.right or after, or
whether it be nearer two o’clock in the
mo. _.ug than it is to four o’clock. Many
i pc. r.s have the faculty so cultivated
| that they know within the, quarter hours
of the exact time.
i “On the other hand it is a common ex
pression with persons in all line of work
suddenly to look at the clock and ex
press the keenest surprise that it is so
late in the afternoon or the evening;
and occasionally one who has been work
ing to poor advantage and under dif
ficulties will be surprised on looking at
his watch that it is so early.
“That the brain in sleep keeps this
tally upon the time is proved by the in
fluences of anaesthetics. A person who
has been profoundly under the influence
of any drug used for the purpose will be
; as utterly unconscious of the passing of
j ten minutes as he will be unconscious
■ of the passing-of an hour. He may be
forgetful of all conditions leading up to
j the state of anaesthesia and for the time
being he may have forgotten the day of
the week.
“As to the time measurement in sleep,
it is best represented in the person used
to travel and to the catching.of trains in
the night. Many of these persons will be,
able to awaken at an hour giving them
just the margin needed for preparation
for the train.
“One of the peculiarities of a person’s
waking for a train, or for any such emer
gency, is that the awakening always is
sudden. There is none of the prelimi
nary yawning, and stretching, and slow
ly returning sense of luxurious rest and
comfort felt by the man who has slept
a full sleep. In this awakening to a
certain time the person frequently feels
that impression of a sudden sound which
he knows cannot have been made or
uttered. Not infrequently he has the
sense that some one has called his name.
He may be almost certain that he has
heard his first name—‘George?’—called
with the characteristic rising inflection.
In almost any case his awakening is
without any premonitory symptoms. It
Is with a sort of jolt that he comes into
full fledged consciousness. In such cases
as those where the sleep is profound be
yond any consciousness of the time, the
dream period of sleep is left far behind;
the sleep has approached the depth of
One of the oddities of sleep was referred
to In which a person may lie down for
rest without intending to sleep. It may
be morning or afternoon, but the fatigue
that prompts the person to lie down
overcomes him, and, after a sound sleep,
he awakens without any knowledge of
time in any sense. He does not realize
whether it is morning or1 afternoon;
whether he has had luncheon, or wheth
er he may not have slept through a day
and a night, and awakened into another
day. It is the opinion of Dr. King that in i
such a case the person experiencing the
Sensations probably Is not In a normal
state of health.
As an example of sleep that should be
natural and close to the design of nature, j
and of an awakening that should be
normal without the effect of an artificial
civilization crowding it, the babe which
has rested to the full and begins to
! arouse itself from slumber Is an interest
' ing study.
Chloroform for Plants.
Albert Maumene, in the Review Sci
i entifique, Paris, referring to experi- j
ments of M. Johannsen, of theAgricul
| tural school of Copenhagen, gives it as
j his opinion that by the use of anes
thetics, such as ether and chloroform,
j early forcing in plant development by
present methods will all be superseded,
since the anesthetizing process makes
possible the flowering of these plants
four or five months earlier than the or
dinary methods of forcing.
Descriptive.
“What is that nickname you have
given your boy?”
“Flying machine,” answered the farm
er. “You see, he’s very interestin’.and
promising, but he won’t work."—Lon

Throwing Dog Off the Scent.
If a layer of stiff, brown paper is glued
to the sides and soles of the usual shoot
ing boots, a dog will not follow its mas
| ter’s tracks, but when the paper gets
j worn through at the heels so that it
touches the ground, the scent is caught
at once and speedily followed.
Tobacco for Cigaretteii.
It is said that all the great cigarette
smoking people invariably smoke cigar
ettes made of dark colored tobacco. Pro
fessional wine tasters say that cigarettes
made of light colored tobacco destroy
the discriminating sense of the palate. .
