It may not seem so difficult to understand why one becomes weary and desires sleep, although to the physiologist this is by no meanss simple problem ; but when one is sound asleep, why should not one remain in a state of repose ? Herr Rosenbaum, ac- cording to the Revue Scientifique, has made a discovery which he believes unravels the ; mystery of sleep. According to his obser- vations, weariness, or fatigue, is the result of changes in the nerve cells of the brain, ' by which their solid substance is in part: removed, as the result of work, and water substituted. In other words, the brain acquires an undue proportion of water, I The result of this accumulation of l water is to lessen the natural activity of the . nervous substances, so that the external stimuli, consisting chiefly of the sights and sounds by which we are surrounded, are insufficient to stimulate the brain to activi- ty. When an extreme point is reached in the substitution of water for the solid sub- stance of the brain, the individual falls , asleep. During sleep, by the process of as- similation, the water is eliminated, and the l solid particles obtained from the food de- I 1 posited. Thus the brain is restored to its 1 - normal condition of excitability, and when ‘ this restoration is complete, the individual awakes. This explanation is certainly in- genious, seems to be plausible, and is per- haps as satisfactory as any which has yet been propounded. any bestowed no better physical systems, if as good, went through the summer in the enjoyment of perfect health which is comprehended in the saying, “ There was little falling-off in the animal spirits, vigor, and color which they showed in the far North.” Why ?-â€"Beca.use they were never allowed to take tea. or coffee, pepper or spices, and seldom hot, heavy bread and rich pastry.

Afterwards it was : a good advertisement for a. vessel to say she was built after the lines of the “Dread- nought.” The first attempt to propel ves- sels by steam is claimed by the Spaniards to have been made in Barcelona by a. paddle Wheel vessel, as far back as 1543, but the first steamer worthy of being so-called was ‘ that placed by John Fitch on the Delaware, ‘ at Philadelphia, 1787. This primitive craft was propelled by a system of paddles or oars working vertically, and was the #.-, mu..-â€" ., or oars wax-1 forerunner of forty years.

Some time after the I dog got to his new home thieves broke into y the house and took all they could find. The 1 dog barked as loudly as he could, yet the - Banlya snored on peacefully, and so, seeing ) the thieves disappearing with the booty, he 3 followed them and saw them hiding their , treasure in holes dug in the dry bed of a nala l He then ran home and never stopped bark » ing until his master woke up. The Ban was almost frantic with grief on disqoverin g his loss and was about to wreak his yen. I geance on the dog, but, attracted by his strange behavior, he determined to Watch him instead. The dog at once led the wa. to the nala and began scratching at the hole. and very soon the stolen wealt ' ~ 0 . ‘h was again m possesion of its lawful owner. . The Ban~ lya’o delight on recovering his property was so great that he wrote on a paper ‘ Your dog has paid your debt,’ and, fastening it to his dog’s collar, he had him return to his old master, and the faithful dog, full of joy trotted on as hard as he could go. His old master, as it happened, just about this time began to long for a sight of his dog and determined to go and see how he was getting on. When half way on his journey he saw , the dog running toward him. He drew his ‘ sword and waited his approach, and as the dog, "with a whimper of joy, sprang forward to caress him, he cut otf his head with his sword. crying out : ‘ Thou disobedient dog I Pay the penalty of deserting thy post.’ Then too late he saw the note attached to his dead friend’s neck, and was seiZed with such remorse that he fell upon his neck and died.
