Dr. Christi son's conclusion seems ^to be that science does not really know why wc sleep, or what sleep actually is. There are various theories-as thc physio logical,~the chemical, the histol?gica: ?-all more or less contradictory, and none entirely satisfying. One of thc less widely known but most interest ing theories attributes -sleep to ? kind of auto-intoxication resulting from acid waste products (chiefly phosphoric acid) produced by the ac tivity of the brain, and which are thought to induce a suspended action of the brain cells until more or less elimination of these effete products takes place.

Drowned From Yacht AND MANY OTHERS ENDANGERED fwo Fleasure Craft Coming in From Fishing Banks . Capsize on Inlet Bar in Squall and 7 of 32 Perish on Ons Verssl and Only One of 12 on the Other. Anglesea, N; J., bpccial^Two vaeliis coming in from thc fishing banks capsized ou Hertford Inlet bar off here Sunday and so far as eau be ascertained eight persons lust their lives. There were 32 persons- on the yacht, of whom seven were lust, and 12 thc ut li er, all of whom but one were saved. Thal nut mure fell vic tims to thc rough sea was due to the heroism of Captain Ludlam, of the Hereford Inlet life-saving station, and a. ci cw ot' rive men. lt was at tirsl thought, that fruin 14.lo 28 per sons had been lost, but after an in vestigation the coroner suited that he believed univ eight were lost. His list is as follows: Bodies recovered: Frederick Fish er, Sr., Philadelphia. Herbert Ham mel. Lansdale. Pa.; J uh n Fogarty, Havefford, Pa.; Walter Snyder, Phil adelphia; J. S. Starkey, Philadelphia; Jerry Donohue, Philadelphia; Un known Man. Missing: Samuel (J, Lou der. Woodbury, N. J, Anglesea is uno ot tho .favorite fish ing places ulong the Southern New Jersey coast, and has seldom had a busier Sunday. Every excursion train from Philadelphia and other near by poiuts came down crowded with visitors, most of whom intend ed spending the day in fishing. The weather in the morning Was ideal and at the fishing boats look out Jarge crowds to thc fishing; banks. After noon, however, a brisk breeze sprung and the captains of the small craft hoisted sail and started for home. Most of tho fleet got in without mis ha]!, although some ol* them had con siderable difficulty in clearing the hereford bar. Turned Completely Over. Tho two that got into trouble were the sloop yatch Nora, which had on board Captain Herbert Shivers, his mute and 30 passengers, and the sloop Alvin B., with a party of 12. The Nora had gone.to thc fishing hanks at Five Fathom Bank, about ten miles out to sea, early in thc day. ^VJie!u.tUe,.,wii:d. .-began, to freshen, Captain Shivers decided it was time to make port and with the assistance of a small gasoline eugine and a good spread ol' canvas, he made good time toward Anglesea. As I ho sloop bowl ed along (lie wind was getting stiffer and the sea rougher. Captain Shiv ers, from long experience, knew how treacherous is the Hereford har and approached it with his usual caution. The saud ?bst ruction is about a mile from shore. Just as he was about to go over it a heavy squall st ruck thc Nora. Despite the efforts of the cap tain thc craft keeled over and was hit by a huge wave. The wind and thc wave coming together was more than tho yacht could stand and it urned completely over, throwing the 32 occupants into thc sea. As the boat turned over the mast snapped like a reed. There was an agonizing cry as the yacht turned turtle, which was quickly silenced when nearly all of the victime disappeared beneath tho waler. The'heavy sea probably was respon sible for ilie saving ul: ll. of tho survivors, as I lie waves wore so rough that tho upturned yacht was tossed about, thus uncovering the struggling victims who were underneath. As many as could (ried to reach tho keel, bul il was a difficult matter, as lhere was an indescribable tangle of fishing nets, lines, baskets and sail. There was no time lo help ono an other, as il was all that the strug gling mon could do to keep their 'icads above the water. One boy. however, Frederick Fisher, aged j? years, who was found struggling near the boat, was lifted up on the up turned keel by two men who had light grips on the vessel. In the un equal fight against the elements the struggling men disappeared one by one until only 23 were loft clinging to the boat. Rescue Barely in Time. After hanging to Hie yacht for nearly an hour and as hope of rescue had almost been abandoned, a govern ment life-boat commanded by Captain Henry S. Ludham, of tho Hereford Inlet life-saving station, hove in sight As he came near he shouted encour agement to the men clinging to the Xora, and after some manoeuverinsr managed to get duse to thc capsized vessel. He was not a moment too soon, for as he came within a boat's length of thc Nora four men, weak ened from exhaustion, lot go their holds and began floating away. Cap tain Ludlam threww has boat arouzd and (he four half-drowned men were drawn out of the water. Then, at the risk of their own lives, (he rcscurers went ofter the other men and pulled thom into their boat. Thc rescue was perilous, as I he rough sea was i-onslaiitly pounding 'lie life-boat against thc kool of the yacht. Fatal Shooting Affair in Georgia.
