BRAIN ASLEEP KEEPS TIME.
Wrapt la Slnmber Han Hat Bettar
Idea of Hoar Than When
Awake,
That a man may have a better idea o<
the time of night when he awakena
from a good sleep than he would have
•f the time of day, provided he were
vorking unusually hard, with unusual
Intentness of purpose, is one of the odd
facta 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- j
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
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 slee*> is not
asleep,” said the doctor. "That one nook
in the brain which takes cognisance of
time is alert to an extent not appreciated
by the layman. Awakening at any time
in the night the person in good health
and condition knows pretty closely
whether ii is midnight or after, or
whether it be nearer tv;o o’clock in the
morplng than It. is to four o’clock. Many
persons have the faculty so cultivated
4-Vi at tkav Irrmv tHthin nilftrtAr hnUPB
of the exact time.
“Oh 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 Ibe 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
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
la with a sort of iolt that he comeB into
full fledged consciousness. In such cases
as those where the sleep is profound be
yond any consciousness of theftime, tUe
dream period of sleep is left far behind;
the sleep has approached the depth of
anaesthesia.”
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, bgt the fatigue
that prompt* the p*s»on to lie down
overcomes him, and, after a sound sleep,
he awakens without any knowledge of
time in any sense. He doe* 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
6tate 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.
VBiurutui ut iwi * iiiutw.
Albert Maumene, In the Review Scl
entifique, 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, sueh as ether and chloroform,
early forcing in jjJVnt development by
present methods will all be superseded,
sdnce the anesthetizing process makes
possible the flowering of these plants
four or five months earlier than the or
dinary methods of forcing.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
I S
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpaasazle quality, 5he founda*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense). but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal.
Kimball is Prominent.
One of the most perfect masical scales is displayed In the zultlvated human voice. An
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do aot
Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of olher of Jhe
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, qualify considered.
The Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
