The heart has an Inter val of rest between each comblued act of contraction and expansion and the beginning of a fresh net Between each expiration of the lungs aud the succeeding inspiration there is a period of repose. Physiologists have calcu lit ted thut the heart reposes during about, one-fourth of the time. Certain of the o'.lu 1" organs suspend their ac tivity iu part during sleep, s-i :';: v... Old physiologists supposed that sleep was caused by the' 'pressure of the blood on t?.o brain. But modern physi ology, with u tendency to regard the bruiu as the origin of all force and of nil functions- of the body. Inclines to the view that sleep Is caused by a withdrawal of blood from the brnlu. As a rulo. the larger the brulu the more sloop It requires.1 Webster went to bed ut 0 o'clock and rose at 5.

They are moat unsatisfactory lights at best. They smoke, flare and glvo out noxious gases. Perfect ventila tion is impossible because it isn't safe to raise the windows whore there are curtains to be blown.
