quired by sleep. While the identity

rector of tiie psychological laboratory
at Harvard, who is a personal friend
of the sleepless .educator.'lias made a
close study of his ease. Professor

ed that it is scientifically possible to
sleep without oomplete loss of con
sciousness.
To assist iu experiments at the State,
Psychopathic hospital on the “twilight
state" a special easy chair lias been
constructed. It is described as a device
to aid subjects to relax “as completely
as a gallon of molasses on a slab of
cold marble."

POLES ONCE ON EQUATOR?
Flammarion Discusses a Discovery by
the Scott Expedition.
Paris.—Camille Plammarioii. (he cel
ebrated astronomer, discussing I he
statement that the" Sifytt expedition
found evidence that the south pole had
twice been a temperate zone, said:
"The evidence evidently relates to
tiie discovery of fossils of fauna and
flora such as have already been found
in the* arctic regions. These are taken
by one school of theorists as proving
that the poles oiiee occupied the posi
tion of the equator and enjoyed a warm
climate, while tiie two opposite points,
now on tiie* equator, wore frozeii poles.
"The theory is that the obliquity of
the earth, which, us every one knows,
travels around the sun at aii angle of
23 degrees, is liable to great variation.
Thus from time to time during (lie
millions of years tiie earth lias existed
tlm poles have changed from place to
place on the earth’s surface.
"But tliis is only a theory and one
which the exact science of astronomy
does not so far support.”
GOATS TO CHEAPEN LIVING.
Cattlemen Declare Meat |3 as Good as
Beef and Less Costly.
El Paso,. Tex.—El Paso people and nil
other people in these United States-
who complain of the high price of beef
in tlie retail markets should eat more
goat meat. "It is eliuuper’aiid just as
good when properly prepared and pro
perly cooked,’’ is a remark which is
hoard in cattle circles at times and one
which is becoming more frequent.
"Cattle prices are going to conio
down .with a crash pretty soon if these
continued sky high figures are. not
checked, because the people will quit
buying beef,” is unotlier remark heard
at times.”
“Goats—eat goat meat.” says the
goat man. On the Kansas City mar
ket a few days ago a bunch of 390
New Mexico yearling sheep, which nv-
erfiged seventy-nine pounds, sold for
$.7.35 a hundred. On tiie same day iu
the same market n shipment of 124
goats, which averaged seventy-four
pounds, sold for $3.10' a hundred.
