It Is n bad thins to be overtaken by sleeplessness, unless your lit"? is f piiiiioth ami free that you can afford to lie still and look at It. Kven then there IV ill lie crumpled rose leaves; such as a death watch that tricks monotonously until every beat I a hammer tap tap ping on your brain; or a do;; that howls In tlie distance at intervals, so that jou are held in ull the throes of sus pense when not in process of active tor ture, l'.ut when the trim brotheiiiontl it care and regret and sorrow steal in tMi'iiimh tlie niyht, masnilicd by the I'laikness into JJiilnliiiiiasian pro portions; when they paint the past and the present ay, and worst of all the hereafter in their own grisly hue, then conies the full liiinlcn of misery. You try the right side tirst and the ortho dox position bedclothes up to chin, rlsrlit car well in pillow, Unces slightly bent, eyes shut. What happens? Hold the covering over so tishtly, in slips Care to Le your bedfellow. And then Mhat a record of trouble he breathes into your ear!

Turn on the left Hide now and try again. What of wasted oppor tunities, of the crisis in which you tailed, of the moment when you might have liien a god and proved yourself less than a man? What of the youth that slippi d by with never an unselllsli impulse, the chilhood that lost its in nocence so much loo soon? That is re gret whispering and nagging at your helplessness. Another effort, and turn upon your liaik. with your knees mak ing a "Mount Sinai of the bedclothes. Sorrow now sorrow for the dead face you can never see again; for the lost love that will plead for healing: for the touch that thrilled you so much once that to think of it' now is agony.

When the "Maliwuia" went buck, he used to take with him fish caught that morning, fiueer-shaped stones or Improvised toys for the babies, and a return letter breathing all cheerfulness, and begin ning: ".My precious Puttie," without a Word of the sleep-destroying devil. .Mrs. Ksdaile had her own troubles, and lls-dalh- was Knglishtnan enough to tuck his away when he could.

He knew even some of tiro women's secrets the ones which their own husbands did not know and how such and such a charm was made to Veep off the evil eye. It was knowledge holtght dearly sometimes, but it meant power; particularly t a policeman. Not even Hira Slush,-last of northern dacolts. who had sworn never to l found alive In un English Jad. could outwit this eastern trained Englishman. "Wherefore .

Oh, for sleep! for one ' Messed half hour of oblivion o carry him on a little! Then, since, every re source to hand was eximtistcd. he slipped, as a lait and desperate meas ure, out of bed and Into some clothes. It wos Janup.ry. and cold at that on the Timlin plateau, but he thought that perhaps the night air would freshen him, even if it did not Induce sleep.

He had at first intended to online his stroll to the eompuss of the eimip, but his nerves were unsettled, and tiie presence of other men. unconscious though they were, jarred. It was a rash thing to do, to venture imo the forest in that wild beast haunted spot: but Ksdaile's rashness was an incepted quantity, and he did not stop to consider now. More over, he could walk In the jungle with as stealthy a tread us n Jesuit, and n!s hearing was ivrecioai hable. lie could tell the name and lb.' purpose of LKVNKDIItS SIIori.DEM roMFOP.

Al'ler that ai.other line bisected It, a large, empty liut miiikhig the junction; beyond iiL'aln, another liii", and at the end of that a village. The geography of the I nice outside the eaitip, the life link ing behind the t'ees was plain to h tlaile's car. There was the sruilic of a frightened hare. the drowsy wing slink of a chikor overhead, und every now und then a long sweep of the nir from a.i owl in Might. War away a blot in r hooil of jackals shrieked, and. nearer, tin re was the tread of chital stealing from one glade to another. It grew blacker and blacker as he strode further from the clearing, and the air became less raw and more charged with the smell of foliage and rank jungle grass, mice lie stopped and snuffed the wind like n horse. A pan ther had lias scd across the track only u few minutes before. Its whereabout were soon made known by the cry of f 'lirhteneil deer, and the thought long ingly of the shikar. Second thoughts made him smile nt the possible revers ing of the notion, and he walked on again. After all. the odds helng in the Im ast's favor, it was well that they had not met. The ranger's hut loomed suddenly out of the blackness, and Ksdaile hesitated as to which path to take. The right hand one he knew it led to Saiiao, where a tributary joined the (hinges, and innhseer lishing was the best to be had. The lelt-hand one pierced deeper into the forest: It ended, lie thought, in u village. Well, he would take It and see whence his footsteps might lead him. Mlncker and blacker, and the beast poises plainer than ever. Ksdaile walked very cautiously, for he was out of man's province and in the territory of King Jungle now. He thought of the strange creatures with wnieh na tive tradition had peopled this p-rra Incognita; the forest demons, the vam pires, the werewolves. There was a tale of men who had died in the forest and whose spirits used to gather to gether in the night and nod ghostly heads over an illuslonary fire. Small comfort that: and what a motley com pany! His wandering thoughts came bnek with a- shock nnd he stopped dead. No. it was not fancy. There was a point of firelight through the trees. For the moment Ksdaile thought he had happened upon the spirit company, and knew an impulse to turn tail. For the moment only, und then common sense came to the rescue. There was not only the shaft of firelight sliding past trunks und branches, but nis keen ear caught the sound of human voices. The policeman's Instinct made him turn off the path and edge toward the light, which was embowered In the for est some fifty yards from him. The men who would aim: in that dense jungle, so far from any clearing, must be madman or criminals; and in cither case he had a right to be a witness to their proceedings. He crept lip noise lessly frnin tree to tree, und stopped finally when three more strides would have taken him up to the very fire. He stood behind a massive trunk, leaned his shoulder comfortably against it, watched and listened. (To lie Continued.) 11TI KE STACK KCEXKill. From the Philadelphia Record. When Thomas Ivlison exhibited original kinotoscone he foretold that he would c-ninrge ine euecis proonepu iy i and give life-size pictures In action, with every detiil of raovimint and expression. The development of thu vltascope has already In part fullilled this prediction. The p'roper colors have, furthermore, been seeund through the careful tmnil peinting of every aentirnte negative ill the series of thousands that are whirled bv the magnifying lens.

Tiie lt-c ord is inclined to ugice with .Mr. Lathi-op In his nrophecy. The only .ciili.ir dlf liculty to lie obviated if Illuminate I vlt.is coope" backgrounds are to tic used on the stage as s;enciy would be that of hti montelng the uetors and their surround ings with the new scenic accessory. An Mr. Lathrop remarks: "At present, the vilascope picture Is thrown from the front of the theater on to the screen which takes the place of the ordinary "lint" or lalnted canvas at the back of the stage, if, this method were continued the actors would neeesrarily cast grotesque ar i disconcerting shadows en the vltascope scenery behind them, up I the stage. This ihtllculty can be ouviai? I by placing the vltascope behind the screen i oil the sluge; so that there would be no ! possibility ol its ladiance causing shad 1 ows from the llgures of the living actors I in front of the screen. Thin, white, truiis- parent muslin should be ustd for the ! screen." Mr. I.athrop also makes public the in teresting fact that Mr. F.dlson Is now oc cupied with a much larger form of vitas co;.e or, as he nrefers to call it, klnctos ! pope which will make negatives cover i ing as many as six hundred llgures In nio I Hon: so that Immense spectacles may be displavid bv it. tilling the whole space of the tint" scene ol" a theater. "An enllre 1 pantomime," suggests Mr. Lathrop, I "could thus be reiirodiiced: or u yacht I race, a shum battle, a, parade, or a horse VATC1IED race with a large part of the onlookers In the grandstand." A thousand-foot ribbon w ill run for :i tioiit thirteen minutes h sii! Ilcloiit stretch to answer the length of a si nsallonal or thrilling theatrical scene while in the case of a waterfall, dashing waves, wlnd-stirr. 1 foresi and similar ef fiets a repetition would serve all pur poses of rcTilbm and scenic delight. .Mr. J.alhrc.; adds: "Where, fur Instance, it Is desired to show a waterfall in the background, or a siashore with waves rolling in on the In at h, or a slorni at sea, there call be no question that the vltascope would repre sent these things, taken absolutely from life, with a thousand-fold more effective ness and pleasure to the audience than anything In the line of most skillful stage device with which we ale now acquainted. .Marine views, with sailing Vessels, steam yachts, and boats In motion I he dimpling ami rippling cf the water, and people cin I Hi king ainl disembarking i ould be reii dertd with delicious und. genuine vivid ness., h'l.igs Muttering in the wind; can vas iumiIiius shaking over house windows; passing clouds, ir.iM and sunshine in the ky, and pun' of dust l the air could ull be conveyed In us vUhont a flaw.

Imagine how much mure brilliant und veracious the effect might be with vltascope llgures for auxiliaries! Then, too, in anv out-door scene in "As Vou I.Ike it." for exiimplc, or "King l.eur" or ".Macbeth'" would It not be a great enchantment to have the tree liouuhs waving, and sunlight and shallow nickering precisely as in nature?

TO SAVE VICTIMS OF THE LIVE WIRE Directions for the Relief of Persons Stocked by Ckctricjly. HOW TO ACT IN AN EMERGENCY fruits of u Scicutilic Stadv of Alter nating Currents Flits in Practical !'oriu--Spccilic Insti notions Which If 1 llowod with t are May Itcsult in the Suviuu of Human Life. From the Washington Star. . The mystery that surrounds the ef fect of electricity on the human body is a subject of persistent inquiry and experiment by electricians and scien tists. The amount ot electricity that will sometimes pass through the hu man body without producing fatal re sults is surprising and often unac countable, while at other times cur rents less powerful In every way, for some reason, are often fatal. Dr. Francis H. Bishop, director of the electrotheapeutlc clinic ut the Kastern dispensary, has made a special I study of this phase of electric phe-1 nomena. "The alternating current of j great amperage high voltage and low frequency," said Dr. Bishop to a Star reporter, "Is the current that causes the (create. number of accidental deaths, as well as the current thut Is used in the state of New York for the purposes of executing crimlnuls. The continuous current, which as used In our incandescent street lighting, while not harmless when close-circuited through, the body, does not offer the same de gree of danger us the arc light or alter nating curtent. The number of periods pqr second, other things being equal, seems to be the most important factor In the death-dealing qualities of elec trictly. The ordinary commercial alter nating current, with from live to eight ampere, and K00 to 2.00b voits, witn per second, would kill In a few seconds periods of alternation from 100 to 130 any animal on the face of the earth. When the periods are lOO.IMirt.OllO to bil lions per second, a circuit which would be fatal, at the commercial period be comes not only harmless, but the sen sation Is most agreeable. Dr. Elihtt Thomson in his experiments has placed himself In a circuit within alternat ing current of great frequency, with un amperage of from 1.5 to 3 nmpers. "1 have had the pleasure of wit nessing some of Dr. Thomson's experi ments and placed myself In circuit with two incandescent lamps, which were brilliantly lighted, and yet, the cur rent was almost agreeable. "In this connection Dr. J. H. Kellogg says: 'I have been able to pass through my body currents of more than S.oisl niilliumperes, when currents of a quan tity ten times less would be extremely dangerous, If the frequency In the place of being riOO.DUU to 1,000,(1110 per second were lowered to 100 per second, the usual rate of alternating currents em ployed for medical purposes,' Kl.KCTltOOI'TION. 'VAc cording to newspaper reports," Bald Dr. Bishop, "they use In New York tate for the purpose of electrocution a pressure of l.fiiio volts. And, accord ing to Dr. l-.dwiu J. Houston, in a pu ller before the American Klectro-Ther-apcutic Association in IN'.U, on 'Death by the Alternating t'tirretit.' the re sistance of the body of the criminal by the use of H e large electrodes saturated with salt solution is reduced to l!i0 or liooo ohms. So, according to uhni's law, he receives from ti to 7'-ss uinperes, or from B.OUU to 7,iii)0 millainpei'cs. Or take m amperes mtiliiplied by l.f.0') volts, e find that the criminal has passing through his body 11. "io Watts or ll.l'.'.O Joules per second, equal to a little more thun lri horse power, 74ti Walts to the horse power, each horse power being equal to DM! foot pounds per second, equals 15 horse powet, equal x.LTiO foot pounds per second. Still. Dr. D'Aisonval of Paris has intimated that our criminals are nut killed by electricity, and Laves us to infer that they are destroyed at the uutupsy. D'Arsonval gives t,wo methods by which the alternating current kills: First, by the disruptive and electrolyt ic elfects of the current; in these cases he claims that death Is absolute and certain. Second, by excitation of nerve centers, uecotnpniiled by arrested respiration and syncobe, without lesion. In these cases he claims thut death is only apparent." QI'F.STION OF CONTACT. "The serious accidents from electric currents are caused by persons com ing in contact with live electric wires while they themselves are In connection with the earth, or w ith some other con ducting material that is connected witli the earth. A bare wire suspended from an arc light or trolley wire that Is poorly insulated, or where there Is no Insulation, may be Innocent enough in itself, and when not disturbed has no current of electricity passing, but when touched by man or unlinal In contact with the earth, the current Is immediately short circuited through the body to reach the earth and the amount of shock that th. individual receives depends upon the- umo'Jnt of electro-motive force, the perfect con tact, and the resistance oilered by the body, as well as the length of time the current passes through the body. The body resistance depends upon the moisture or the whin or clothing, the perfection of the contact ami lh; amount of surface exposed to contact. "A person whose dry clothing strikes a live suspended wire receives much less shock than if the clothing wtre wet or damp. If the hand should giasn a live wire and the hand be perfect iy dry, the shock would be less severe than If the hands were damp or wet. The current finds its exit through the course of least resistance, which might lead through very important- structure and death would be upt to claim Us victim. The length of time that a per son is subjected to the cuirent Is a question of gnat Importance, as every second adds wonderfully to the horse power und foot pounds that raas through th" victim. TO P.KSCTF, A VICTIM. "Kvcry e.t'ort should lie made to lib erate him r.t once. How Is this to be done? Find, keep cool; don't lose your head. Do not place yourself in circuit in trying to help others out. When the victim is a lineman nnd up nmong the wires, or on a pole, nothing much can lie done until the current Is shut off vt the powir house. Should the victim b- lying upon the ground, grasping the wire In one or both hands, take a dry stick and push the person from the wire, or wrap a large dry sIIk hand kerchief around your hand nnd catch hold of the victim's coat tall or dress and pull him or her from the wire, s on extra precaution, if your own coat is perfectly dry, you might place It up on the earth to stand on. I'nder n. consideration catch hold of. or tanner with In any way the wire, unless you are positively certain that you are thoroughly Insulated by rubber boot or gloves. r both. Even then It Is bet ter to pull the victim from the wli e. Remember always that the currenf fol lows the course of least resistance and Is not going to go out of its path for the sake of running into you; nor will it vary its course If you tret in the way. unless your body puts In more resist ance than that of ano'her circuit. Therefore, never, under any circum stances, when you are removing a per son from a live wire, allow- his body to leave the earth. Or, In cither words, don't lift him. Keep him to the earth, for when-hiB body leaves the enrth your hotly become the conductor, and you simply add another victim to the list. An Iron rod or heavy copper wire run deeply in the ground. In such a way that when the free end Is liberated It will rprins o the live wire above the victim, w ill lake the current from loin to that lie may be pu!l:d away. Kven then be cautious. When the victim has been released f rem the w ire proceed at once to artiriclal res;i!r..Mit. Be sure that the clothing is well loosened, especially n'jout the neck and watrt.
