BRAW ASLEEP KEEPS TIME.
Wrapt in Slumber Man Has Better
Idea ot Hour Thau When
Awake.
—
That a man may have a better idea of
the time of night when he awakens
I from a good sleep than he would have
| of the time of day, provided he were
j working unusually hard, with unusual
i 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
i w'ork with such intensity of purpose as
; to forget the lapse of two or three hours
i of daylight, so he may sleep with a
! soundness that prevents the little time
keeper of the brain from making sub
i conscious note of the hour hand of the
j 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
I Surgeons, that the awakened sleeper
i usually has a better idea of the flight of
| the night than the other may have of the
l flight of the day.
I “Under ordinary circumstances the
person w'ho is in normal sleep is not
j asleep,” said the doctor. “That one nook
in the brain which takes cognizance of
! time is alert to an extent not appreciated
j by the layman. Awakening at any time
i in the night the person in good health
i and condition knows pretty closely
whether it is midnight or after, or
whether it be nearer two o’clock in the
; morning than it is to four o’clock. Many
persons have the faculty so cultivated
I that they know within the quarter hours
i of the exact time.
“On the other hand it is a common ex
! pression with persons in all line of work
j suddenly to look at the clock and ex
; press the keenest surprise that it is so
I late in the afternoon or the evening;
| and occasionally one who has been work
ing to poor advantage and under dif
i Acuities will be surprised on looking at
j 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
i Vi o a Kean nnnfalm^lir niwlfll" VVie. Inltnanaa
; of any drug used for the purpose will be
1 as utterly unconscious of the passing of
ten minutes as he will be unconscious
of the passing of an hour. He may be
forgetful of all conditions leading up to
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
j for the train.
“One of the peculiarities of a person’s
j waking for a train, or for any such emer
geney, is that the awakening always is
! sudden. There is none of the prelimi
nary yawning, and stretciiiing.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 impressio,. of a sudden sound which
; he knows cannot have been made or
I 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
j is with a sort of jolt that he comes into
full hedged consciousness. In such cases
s 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
anaesthesia.”
One of the oddities of sleep was referred
j 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 or 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
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,
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 (or Plants.
Albert Maumene, in the Review Scl
entiftque, Paris, referring to experi
ments of M. Johannsen, of the Agricul
tural school of Copenhagen, gives It as
his opinion that by the use of anes
thetics, such as ether and chloroform,
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.

“Flying machine,” answered the farm
