Interesting Facie of Which We Are ignorant, Sleep is a universal experience, but, as in the case al other fatniliar things, we take it so much for granted that there are many inter- esting facts about it of which we are ignorant. In the Illustrated London News, Mr, W. P. Pycraft gives a number of them. Our no- tions of rest, he says, are likely to be a little upset when we come to survey the various postures that different animals assume during sleep. Most persons probably sleep lying on the right or left side of the body with the knees drawn up toward the chin. But certain African tribes he on the back, and let the head, •or rather the back of the neck, rest • on a bar of wood that is supported on two short pillars. The elephant, apparently invariably, and the horse. commonly, sleep standing. This is really astonishing. Besides the difficulty of maintaining the balance .of the body during, long Periods of uncnnscipusnes,, it would seen that there must be some 61e- ceseity for resting the muscles of the legs- Cattle usually sleep lying down. and clnr•ing many hours of the day they lie clown. More curious still, there are creatures that sleep while they hang head downward, suspended by the hind feet, among these are the hats. The hanging parrots of In- dia and the -Malayan region have the same strange habit. In this they differ from all other birds, which invariably sleep with the head turned tailward'over the beel and the beak thrust in among th feathers between the wing and th body—not actually under the wing as people generally believe. No satisfactory explanation has ever been offered to :account for thi strange habit. It is followed ever by the penguins, whose feathers are So short that they do not completely cotter the beak. Certain birds sleep while they rest on line leg. That curious pose rs, hest seen in lung -legged birds, like storks and gulls. .bucks gen- erally sleep on open water; and in order to keep from drifting shore- ward, and therefore into the dan- ger zone, they peddle constantly with son, font. s, that the body is always circling r.,und the chosen sleeping arm The sloths sleep suspended by their feet, with the head tusked in between the fore - lees. The no les. remarkable Al- riean (too., or slow lemurs, as- sume a similar pose, but they attach themse!i•es to a vertical instead of horizontal bough, so -that the body rests with the stead upward. No animal except man ever sleeps up - en ire bnek. It i. commonly believed that seers animals; never sleep, but that ie be- cause hey do not cl•t:e their eyes. Hares. snakes, and fishes are crea- tures of this sort, but all of them do sleep regularly.

It would nut be easy to adopt a state !religion, for sueh a step might be contrary to the wishes of the people. But snort - 'flees offered at the proper season! to the ancient saints and sages, gas prescribed in the laws of the late Ching dynsety, dial not touch the question of religion. Since they are nob in conflict with a republican forst of government they should be continued as a token of respect on the part of the succeeding genera- tions, It will become generally known that the ceremonies now pre- scribed are performed, and there is danger that the ceremonies will be construed as the beginning of the establis meant of g patioaal re- ' li ion. It•therefore ne essay g is, , c y to make known the principle which prompted the restoration of the an- cient rites, and to state that they aro in response to the wishes of. the majority to express their reverence and veneration fur the saints and sages and to preserve the traditions of thousands of years. The choice of religion is still left to the peo- ple. This is according to the liberty guaranteed by the constitution and in accord with the practice of the world. This order is issued to avert possible misunderstanding and suspicion." PLVIIES AND DISEASE. Famous Zoologist Points Out That One Aids the Other. Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston, famous traveller and zoologist, who found the okapi in..lfrica, cleplures the vanity of wealthy women who adorn themselves with the plumage e of 'rare and lovely birds. Sir Harry, in a lecture the other e • night, complimented the United ' States for haiang elvsed its porta and markets against the imporla- • tion of the feathers and skins of s certain birds, and urged similar ac - 1 tion by the British Parliament. All birds of betattiful plumage are insect eaters.; he said; so to slaugh- ter birds is to permit the.. infinite multiplication of creatures that carry germs and cause about, two- thirds of the workl's diseases.

I have now looped the loop over one hundred times, and meant 1 go on practising the feat until t have Carried :nut my thousandth loop, which total I hope to math in a year or so, writes B, C. Mucks, in London Answers, Many people shake their heads ruefully when I tell then of 'my in• tentions, for they prophecy that lav nerve will never stand tho ter- rible strain of whirling my machine about in the clouds week after week for a year or more, And their con- victions are further strengthened when they' learn that I ani under- going no special training fir my upside-down flights. Only Coll Baths. But I ale very confident that T shall carry out my thousandth loop in the same excellent health which I at present enjoy, and their visions of any becoming a physical wreck are, I think, ill-founded. At the same time, I do not want to make light of the tremendous nerve -strain which looping the loop and upside-down flying entail. I fully realize that unless I keep in the pink of condition my nerve will go. So every morning, no platter how low the temperature may be, I have a cold bath, but, beyond leading a moderately careful life, I take no other precautions to rehab) my nerve. As a matter of fact, it is not al- ways continual flying that wears away an airman's nerve. More of- ten it is a sudden shock, or moment of deadly peril when he stares death in the face. which destroys his confidence for ever. I coulci name several flyers whose nerve was absolutely ruined by one particularly bad smash or excep- tionally narrow escape from death, Such a happening is liable to occur to any flyer. I myself might con- ceivably rise in my Bleriot mono- plane to find that I had lost the requisite nerve to swing the ma- chine over on to its basic. But I certainly do not anticipate such a happening, for I have had my aerial ordeals, which, I think, would have killed my nerve long ago had it been built that way-. Bombs in Mid-air. For instance, last summer I was giving some bomb -dropping exhibi- tions, and, fitted in the rear of any 1',leriot monoplane was a device for releasing the projectiles. Whilst flying for some five hundred feet high I endeavored to release one of (these bombs, but, becoming jam - riled in the mechanism, it exploded with considerable force. The bomb - dropping apparatus was blown clean away and, in flying free, two of my tail controlling wires were severed, which through my rear ele- vator completely out of action. Undoubtedly I escaped a violent death by reason of the perfect bal- ance of my machine. The weight of myself and the engine were sup- ported by the niairl wings, and hence, by very careful manoeuvring' I managed to plane to .earth with- out the ole of any elevator, Had I a passenger sitting in my rear, whose weight would have been largely supported by the rear Plane, nothing on earth would have saved the machine plunging violent- ly to earth. But one of ;the best tests of my nerve Occurred on the occasion when I was preparing to go aloft to carry out my hundredth loop, Just as T was about to clamber into my monoplane a telegram was handed to me. On opening it I found it signed by a dear relation of mine, and it ran : "Dreamt last night that you would have serious accident on hundredth loop, Very worried," There was FL teriffrc gale blowing at the time, some sixty miles an hour, and it looked odds on that I should be tossed about like it feath- er up aloft, and perhaps smashed down to earth. But I risked it, and carried out my hundredth loop un- oeathed, so that the ill-omened dream did not come true after all, 1 have neves been snperetitieus, and ant one of the few airmen who lo not go in for mascots. ,Somebody rrcecntly tied a doll, on my mono - dant: aucl I took it alum. and limped he loop --certainly the only mascot that has participated in an unside- down flight.

Flying is a sport that, once mastered, is bard to abandon. SOLDIER 'PIPES. Slow Conscripts Are Classified and Assorted in french Artily. What sort of man nookes the best soldier'? The French army, where a good deal of intelligent attention is given to answering -that question, has recently reconsidered and changed the standards by which men are assigned to the different branches of the service. When the conscripts ant, enlisted for their re- quired three years, the recruiting organization must fit all the round and square pegs of the oontingents into the round and square holes in the army. The process is described 'by the Paris correspondent of the London Times: There are men whose trunk and shoulders first strike the eye. They are the "upper" men. Bread shoul- ders and lung bodies in former days sent Hien to the cavalry to be turn- ed into dashing dragoons. But it is now realized that on horseback they arc top-heavy, and keep their seat with their spurs. Therefore they are sent to the infantry. Thanks to their long, broad backs., they can earry the heavy load of the foot soldier, and their Ahem legs make them quick marchers. Very strong "upper" men go to the artil- lery, where great weights have to be lifted as well as carried. The "middle" men have fairly short trunks and well-proportioned legs with large hips. That brings the centre of gravity clown on the sad- dle when they are put on horseback, The "middle" men now becoine the dashing dragoons. The "muscular adaptable" also go to the cavalry as a rule, They arc to be recognized by the curious way in which their arms appear to be. detached from the shoulders. Their large trunks loss their promi- nence immediately there is any movement, for each limb appears to carry with it its own hinterland o1 body. They go to the heavy cavalry. • Tho "warrior type" combines muscular. adaptability with broad shoulders and weight -carrying capa- city. A man of that .type can serve usefully in any arm of the service. The two most curious classes are the "round" and the "flat," both of which were represented at the (,lichy examination. The "round'" men are. grown-up editions ,of the fat and flabby Cupids of the Louis XVI. period of art. Experience has shown that they will undergo, with- out complaint, an amount of physi- cal fatigue that aeutlses the most in- subordinate grumbling from the muscular and well-developed anon. They try to mice up for that physi- cal strain by overeating, and at the first breath of illness they. go under. The "fat" man is also dumb in his misery. His chest ,his stomach, and his legs attain a dull level of medi- ocrity, and his face is almost fea- tureless, Even his feet arse fre- uently flat. He, like the "round" man, dies of physical fatigue in an ordinary regiment. They are both sent to the auxiliary services. PILLAR -BOC POST -0FFIC'1'(S.

These involuntary changes cansed by emotional crises have all proved useful in different ways to the body, Earl of Rosebery would at any rate be free from nervousness. -'Bnt he isn't—not by any means. You eau any time "fluor" the noble lord --- or, at least, make leis expected speech a very moderate one—it only you will omit to bave,a table or desk for him to stand at and bring down his hands an while he is speaking. Without that favorite adjunct, his lordship gets fidgety, seems con- fused in his train of thought, hesi- tates often, and sits down finally with the conviction --shared also by you, -;that his speech has been. nothing like what it ought to have been, nothing like what was expect- ed of him, His Majesty King Georgy is slob- jest to a certain nervousness if he is interrupted when speaking. Not only does the interruption seem to break the sequence of his thoughts, but it is so unusual tiling that the Icing appears quite -incapable afterwards of resuming his chat exactly where he left off. The friends of the British Chan- cellor of the Exchequer know Min- to be literally a bundle of nerves. If you wish to cramp his eloquence confine him in a narrow space—say a small pulpit --when he has to ad- dress a big. audience. That will do the trick! For Mr. Lloyd George's nervousness makes hint always on the move; be must have room in which to knock about, and plenty of it or the confined space gets on his nerves and upsets him. To soothe bis mind when he is speaking to a large crowd Mr. Bal- four invariably grips with each hand the front -lapels of his frock - coat, and varies that procedure by clasping his bands behind his back, to be followed once more, in due course, by the first performance. • SWEETEST WREN ANGRY.
