The Brain Should Best While The
Stomach Digests The Pood
There is a widespread supersti
tion, cherished by the great ma
jority of the people, that to sleep
immediately after they have taken
food is to endanger health, to favor
the onset of apoplexy, etc., a su
perstition based on the assumption
that during sleep the brain is nor
mally congested. There is, no
doubt, such a thing as congestive
sleep, but during normal sleep the
brain is anaemic. When a person
has taken a fairly abundant lunch
or dinner the stomach demands a
special influx of blood wherewith
to accomplish its work of diges
tion ;.zr organ can more easily
comply with that demand than the
brain, which, when in full activity,
is suffused with a maximum
amount of the vital fluid- But a
derivation of blood from the brain
to the stomach can only take pMace,
except in exceptionally full
blooded and vigorous persons, on
the condition that the cerebral
functions be meanwhile partially
or wholly suspended. Hence
many people after taking dinner
feel indisposed for mental action
and not a few long for sleep. The
already partially anremic brain
would fain yield up to the stomach
a still further supply of blood, and
yield itself up to refreshing sleep.
Doing so it gains new strength;
meanwhile digestion proceeds en
ergetically, and soon body and
mind are again equipped to con
tinue in full force the battle of life.
But superstition the child ot ignor
ance, intervenes, declares that
sleep during digestion is danger
ous, admonishes the would-be
sleepers to struggle against their
perilous iuclinafion, and, though
telling them that after dinner they
may sit awhile, assures them of the
adage, "After supper walk a
mile."
The millions of its victims con
tinue, therefore, the strife to which
it condemns them and ignore the
suggestions offered to them by the
lower animals, who have always
practiced the lessons of sound
physiology by sleeping after feed
ing whenever they are allowed to
do so. Hence the human brain
and human stomach of such vic
tims contend with each other
during the digestive process. The
brain, impelled by superstition,
strives to work and demand blood
to work with, while the stomach
stimulated by its contents strives
to carry on its marvelous chemis
try demands an ample suppy of
blood for the purpose. The result
of the struggle is that neither is
able to do its work well. The
brain is enfeebled by being denied
its natural rest during the digest
ive process, and the healthy func
tion of the stomach degenerates
into dyspepsia. Westminster Re

HE ACTED THE MOUKEY.
A Toledo Boy Who Went Into Partner
ship With a Tramp.
Mr. W. A. Eldridge, agent of
the Red Star line steamers, has a
bright little son named Bruce.
Some time since Master Bruce took
a fancy for a drum, and Mr. El
dridge, to gratify the little fellow,
purchased one for him. Mrs. El
dridge is exceedingly fond of
music, but the thumping of the
drum in the house was a kind of
music that was too rugged for her.
She induced Bruce to go into the
yard, where he might beat the
drum to his heart's content. Bruce
donned a wide-awake cap three
sizes too large and a red oilcloth
cape, and soon the rub a-dub-dub
was going on cheerily. Thinking
Bruce was perfectly safe and hav
ing a royal good time, Mrs. El
dridge directed her attention to
household duties. After a while
she listened for the. sound of the
drum, but the noise had ceased.
Mrs. Eldridge then hastened to the
yard, where she found the gate
open and Bruce and his drum gone.
She was greatly frightened and
sent messengers out to find her
boy, but they returned without
him. Mr. Eldridge was absent,
but Mrs. Eldridge had a diligent
search kept up. She had almost
despaired of seeing Bruce again,
but late in the afternoon the little
daughter of a friend brought the
young drummer home and he was
as happy as as a bird.
The little girl said that Bruce
had come to their home with a
tramp and after beating the drum
entered the house and held out his
hat for a penny. The tramp, see
ing that Bruce was recognized,
made a hasty retreat.
""Where were you, Bruce?"
asked Mrs. Eldridge.
"Playing monkey," said he.
"Playing monkey?"
" Yes, I'd beat the drum and
then do like the monkev with the
organ grinders take off my hat
and ask for pennies."
"And what would you do with
the money?"
"Give it to the man; that's the
way the monkey does."
"Well,"remarked Mrs. Eldridge,
"the next time I let you go to drum
in the yard I shall sec to it that
you do notgoon a monkey advpn
ture with a tramp."
"I ho tramp who had coaxed
Bruce away reaped a rich harvest
of pennies by the help of the

and flaming red cape Toledo

Alvin Olark Says He Hopes to Make a
Pive-p6ot liens.
Boston, Oct. 8. A letter has
been received here by Alvin Clark,
manufacturer of the great Lick
telescope in California, from the
president of the university of
southern California, at Los Ange
les, asking for information as to a
forty-inch lens and intimating that
an order for a tele3copeto eclipse
the Lick observatory would soon
be sent -' iAJU
"Clark, 'when asked if he could
make a lens four inches larger
than the Lick telescope, said:
"Certainly I can, if I can get glass
of the proper size. There will be
no trouble lif making a lens forty
inches in diameter. I will make a
five-footer if my life is spared long
enough.
But it would take about one
man's lifetime to make such a lens.
Its increased magnifying power
would be in proportion to its in
creased size." This forty -inch lens
would be one-ninth larger than the
Lick observatory lens and would
make objects appear nine times
larger. If a lens five feet in diam
eter is secured it will bring the
moon so close that we can see ev
ery cranny on its surface. ' It
would revolutionize astronomical
researches. ,
"I have received no less than
three letters from different colleges
asking if I could make a forty-inch
lens. I have written to all those
persons that I was ready to accept
any and all orders for a forty-inch
lens. A larger telescope would
cost a good deal moro than that
at the Lick observatory on account
of greater risk. The Lick tele
scope cost $100,000, and the lenses
alone cost 857,000. A forty-inch
telescope, I should say at a rough
guess, would cost between 400,
000 -'and? $500,000. A million
would be a small figure for a five
foot lens."
