Death hy Sleeplessness a Chinese Panishment, “A person absolutely without sleep for nine days will die,” says a writer in Alnslec's, “Sufferers from insomnia sometimes maintain that they have gone for weeks without sleeping, but it has proved that they do sleep without being aware of it. At a cer tain point sleep is Inevitable, no mat: ter what the bodily condition, the al- ternative being death. Prisoners have slept on the rack of the inquisition. And the Chinese found that only the greatest ingenuity and vigilance could carry out a sentence of death by sleep- This mode of capital punish- ment was long in favor in China and is said to be so today, while as a form of torture deprivation of sleep is consid- | ered one of the most eflicacious weap- ons in the Chinese judicial arsenal. In some such the prisoner is kept in n cage too small to stand up or lie down in and constantly prodded with a sharp rod. Death by starvation, also a Chinese punitive method, Is a slower and therefore, one would think, more calculated to appeal to the oriental mind if it were not that death by sleeplessness is thought 80 much more painful. In the lat ter case the brain first affect. ed of all the organs of the body, while in case of starvation the brain longest retains its normal weight and charac ter. “A corresponding of taming wild elephants is sald to be depriving the animals of sleep when first caught. In a few days they become compara- tively spiritless and harmless. The brain of the elephant Is held to be | more highly developed than that of | any other wild animal, but of course as compared with a human brain can be easily fatigued by new impressions and so made very dependent on sleep. The wild elephant in his native jungle, however, | leep very little—a further point for the theory of the uni versal ratio of sleep to A man taken of his placed in conditions could have imagined to Mars, say—would doubtless need an extraordinary amount of sleep at first. There is the almost parallel case of a German boy, Casper Hauser, who up to the age of eig room where he h mman beings or sight object. not even the sky. he was brought to Nur abandoned in the street few months of his life : slept almost constantly an that it was very hard to wake him.” been lessness, CASCS Process is the mode +4 183 3s sald to s intelligence. | habitat I hs out and whic if never transported hteen was kept In one ad no intercourse with of any nat ir ' ai The Sense of Feeling.
