Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
.Lll the organs of the body are under the con-
srol of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged thc'organs which they supply. with
nerve iluidare a so deranged. When it is re-
membered that a serious injur to the spinal
iord will cause paralysis of t 9 body below
nine in] ured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injur from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it wil be understood how
the derangement of the nerve centers Will
cause the derangement of the various organs
which they suppl with nerve force.
Two-thirds of c ronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
.he base of the brain. not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ 1t-
sclf. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ‘rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR. FRANKLIN MILES. the celebrated spe-
clalist. has profoundly studied this subject for.
over 20 years. and has made many 1m ortant
discoveries in connection W_lth1l3, chic among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
ness, dullness, con usion, pressure. blues,
mama, melancholy, insanity. e ilepsy. St.
Vitus dance. etc.. are nervous iseases no

Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the

WROTE SERMONS WHILE ASLEEP
The Rem arkable Somnambulistlc Feat of
an English Theological Student.
One of the most remarkable and puz-
zling stories of somnambulism is re-
lated by the London News. The sub-
ject was a young ecclesiastic at a semi-
nary. The bishop of the diocese was
so deeply interested that he went
nightly to the young man’s chamber.
He saw him get out of bed, secure pa-
per, compose and write sermons. On
finishing a page he read it aloud.
When a word displeased him he wrote
a correction with great exactness. ~ The
bishop had seen a beginning of some
of those somnambullstic sermons, and
lhonrlzt them well composed and cor-
rect-Ty written. Curious to ascertain
whether the young man made use of
his eyes, the bishop put a card under
his chin in suchamanncr as to prevent
him seeing the paper on the table be~
fore him, but he still continued to
write. Not yet satisfied whether or
not he could distinguish difi‘erent ob-
"jects placed before him, the bishop
took away the piece of paper on which
he wrote and substituted several other
kinds at different times. He always
perceived the change, because the
pieces of paper were of different sizes.
When a piece exactly like his own was
substituted he used it, and wrote his
corrections on the places correspond-
ing to those on his own paper, It was
by this means that portions of his noc-
turnal compositions were obtained.
His most astonishing production was a.
piece of music written with great ex-
actitude.
The clefs, the flats and the sharps were
all in , their right places. The notes
were all made as circles, and those re-
quiring it were afterward blackened
with ink. The words were all written
below, but- once they were in such very
large characters that they did not come
directly below their proper notes, and,
perceiving this, he erased them all and
wrote them. over again.
DEPTH OF THE ATLANTIC.
One Spot .That Measures Four Blld~ a
Quarter Miles Deep.
The floor of the Atlantic ocean is
now almost as well-known to the ex-
perts of the hydrographic bureaus of
the worldas the surface is to the most
experienced navigators. Its depths,
currents, tides, etc, have been care-
fully and systematically studied from
Greenland and Spitzbergen to the
great ice barriers of the antarctic cir-
cle. Prof. Forbes gives some reliable
data on ocean’ depths for use in
-"'Notes for the Curious.” “The gen-
eral contour of the Atlantic’s undulat-
ing bed may now be regarded as pretty
well determined. * * * Scarcely
any portion of its floor has a depth ex-
ceeding 3,000 fathoms, or about three
and a quarter miles. There is a re-
markable exception to this last state-
ment, however, in a wonderful sink'or
depression. lying about one hundred
miles north of St. Thomas, an island
off the coast of Africa in the Gulf of
Guinea. The outlines of this depres-
sion are similar'to those of an old-
time river bed. The Challenger ex-
pedition traced its meanderings for
upwards of 1,000 miles, finding por-
tions of it more thana mile deeper.
'than the surrounding ocean, making
the depth of the Atlantic at those
points not less than four and a quarter
'miles, or about 3,875 fathoms.”
