The Timaru Herald. SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1886.

Our vigilant arid well edited contemporary, tho Auckland Weekly News, publishes a most interesting account of , a man whose sleeping arrangements were altogether different from other people's. Henry Johnson is the name of this remarkable individual, and he is described aB a stout robust young fellow of twenty or twenty-one, with nothing unusual about him except tbat he is of a restless or nervous disposition. "We have seen so many men of a restless disposition tbat we should hardly have singled out a young man aa unusual on that account ; but on the other band, we think Mr Johnson's peculiar views about sleep entitle him to claim for himself the most complete originality. We, at least, should not be disposed to question the justice of his claim if it were advanced. Some four years ago, Mr Johnson found he waß able to do with much less sleep than any of his acquaintance. We may state at once that we do not see anything very remarkable in that. The ypung man may have been reading hard for an examination, or he may have been in love. The evidence given in support or explanation of his history does not contradict either of these hypotheses in the slightest. It iB set down that he could stay up all night at a dance and -not feel the loss of sleep the next day, or he could read till a late hour arid not feel sleepy next morning. Probablynutne'roua instances of young men living . in Timaru who are thug favoured could be found to-day by any able investigator. But Henry Johnson's claims to singularity do not rest solely upon what is quoted above. His need for sleep decreased bo much that ho began to number his hours of actual wakefulness during eaoh week. For the last three months of 1883 he was awake nineteen Louraya. day"»w,Uile, by: April 1884 }ie ;

was sleeping less than font- hours eaoh night. Now we are bound to say that even in this remarkable evidence we do not see much cause fer setting down Henry Johnson as an abnormal individual. • Henry Johnson might have been flying kites. We ask our com-' mercial readers whether ifc is not possible for a maturing bill to so operate upon the system as to render it next to impossible to obtain much more than five hours sleep per noctem. There is even something the least bit suspicious in Mr Johnson's periods of decreasing somnolence. Doubtless the commercial readers -we have just referred to will catch our meaning. It might plausibly be argued that in the beginning of October 1883 Mr Johnson accepted a three months bill ; that no sooner had he done so than doubt as to his ability to meet it wrung lis soul; and that his sleep was consequently impaired during the whole time that his acceptance had currency. It would be' further argued that when the bill came due he managed to renew it, but without .allaying his anxiety, which now gained further hold upon him, and reduced his sleep by another hour. This argument, however, will find no support from us, and for the following reason : His health toas good. There is a plain fact which at once renders the kite-flying hypothesis untenable. Had Henry Johnson visibly waned; bad his eye dimmed, or his cheek bo much as lanked, we might have doubted. But no ; hia health was good. Moreover, he thought little about not sleeping as much as formerly. That shows the light-hearted careless man at once. During the summer and fall of that year he Blept less than three hours each night, and apparently he would never have thought of thinking of himself at all but for an untoward circumstance. One day his attention was caught by an article in the " Sucrammito Bee " — that most prof.inesounding of American journals — in which it was stated that loss of sleep would cause insanity. Henry Johnson was evidently alarmed by the buzzing of this scientific journal, and we read " He then began to eat heartily, nnd would drink half a glass of porter before going to bed." These desperate measures, however, " made no difference about his sleeping." There was obstinate insomnia for you. Some people would have gone further, and greatly daring, might perhaps have drunk a whole glass of porter before seeking their virtuous but non-soporific couch. But not so this great-minded American. " He concluded that he was an exception to the rule', and paid no further attention to his wakefulness until the summer of the present year, when he found that he was only sleeping four or five hours in the course of a whole week." Upon this the remarkable young man was again roused to action, so " he came to Oroville one day, and had a talk with Dr "W. T. Service about himself. The doctor saw that he was in good health, and deemed that it would bo inadvisable to induce sleep by the use of narcotics." This most moderate of medical men, however, has since watched the case, and has taken a variety of notes to lay before the State Medical Board at its next meeting. To those who do uot look beneath the surface of things this veracious history will appear of little value. By them it may be dismissed as " a tall American story " or " a Yankee yarn," and considered unworthy of serious attention. But to those thinking men who form an unovcrwhelming majority of the Herald's readers, tho facta we have recorded will bo considered in far other fashion. They will recognise that in the person of Henry Johnson the world has been presented with a veritable treasure, which rightly used may benefit mankind as long as the present condition of existence continues. For what is the central doctrine of that great evolution hypothesis by which at present we appear solely to live and move and have our being ? Is it not that nature is continually presenting her different races of beings with variations on their pro-existing types ? And that such differences if of no value to the race in its struggle for existence will tend to disappear, but if useful, will tend to be perpetuated P Very well then. The present conditions of existence render it often highly inconvenient that we should require to sleep. The difficulty of knowing when it is time to wake up in the morning forces us to rely upon tho fidelity of our servants, or of " Boots " at the hotel for the keeping of our most valued engagements, and the catching of our most important trains ; and, also, too often that fidelity is but a broken reed in our bands. "When tbe train is caught, excessive sleepiness may lower the efficiency of ' some tired signalman, and cause him to shunt us into the track of an up-express, or a Flying Scotchman or other swift and impetuous creature, and we may be wrecked, with awful conBequencss. Numberless, infact,|are the misfortunes the human race owes to its sleepiness. But we have said enough on the score of the evil, and must now turn to the remedy. Here are the facts about our sleepless man: — "Young Johnson is now able to go without sleep for ten days at a time, and gets along well with only four hours of sleep in a week. He says it is of no particular benefit to him, as he gets tired like other men, and has to rest the same number of hours that they sleep. He generally sits by a fire in a comfortable arm-chair during the night, and often reads the greater part of the whole night." Concisely stated, in fact, Mr Johnson is able to renew his stock of energy by resting at night just as other men do, but he is spared the humiliating condition which has hitherto always attended; such renewal — the necessity of relinquishing consciousness. He can rent and remain perfectly conscious at the same time. Obviously Henry Johnson ought to bo made much of, and encouraged to found a family of men able like himself to do without sleep. He should be the watchman — • father of the world. Nothing • but increasing specialization of' function enables ns to carry on the increasing volume of the world's work, and here ia an opportunity for specialization of a kind, and a value exceeding our wildest dreams. It may not occur again for centuries, or when it does occur some less moderate-minded physician 111 a y g° an d ruin our heaven-sent watchman by taking the narrow view of his case that he was meant to be made the subject of experiments on the, power of narcotics. Professor Huxley relates an anecdote about a similar freak of

nature which once before occurred in America, and .which was of immense service to a great number of people. The farmers in a certain district were much distressed by the errant ways of their sheep, who could not be prevented from leaping the paddock fences and wandering far and wide at their own free will. But one day a ram-lamb was dropped with a long body but astonishingly short legs. He was not built for jumping. His intelligent owner recognised him as a possible source of profit, and " he succeeded in stamping his characteristic long body and short legs upon a large flock of sheep, none of which showed the slightest capacity for hurdle-racing. Their qualities were appreciated, and the new breed spread over a considerable district. Now the farmer we have referred to knew nothing whatever of Darwin whose book we should suppose was at that date, still to write, but he knew that like produces like, and he acted on his knowledge — with great profit to himself and his neighbours. Shall we, informed as we are by Darwin, Spencer, Huxley and other great (men too numerous to remember and mention at the present moment — shall we show less sagacity and energy than that benighted American farmer ? Perish the thought. Lot the attention of all philanthropists and of all ruling powers be instantly turned to Oroville. Henry Johnson is at present absolutely unique. It is for the philanthropists and ruling powers to take measures that he do not remain so. His Honor Judge Ward held a short sitting o! tho District Court yesterday. A roport of the proceedings appears elsewhere. A mooting of the members of tho L.O.L. No. 13, Timaru lodge, will bo hold in the Sophia street Oddfellows' Hall this evening, at 7.30 o'clock. In tho Baptist Church, to-morrow evening, at G.30 p.m., tho Gospel will be preached, after which tho ordinance of believers baptism will bo observed. A special meeting of tho Timaru Harbour Board is to be held on Thursday, tho 13th instant, at 11 a.m. Business ordinary, and to receiro nnd consider report of the standing committee Wo are requested to stato that tho Timaru Rifles beat the C Battery in their first riflo match, on January 22nd, by 8 points, and that the Battery won tho second match, fired on Thursday last, by 85 points. They are thus ono and ono, and the deciding match will tako place shortly. Mr Andrew Grant, of Tomuka, a largo consignment of store cattlo from that placo yesterday. Tho mob, numbering 224 head, wore consigned to Mr Sinclair, of Edendale, Southland, and had to bo conveyed by a special train of 27 cars. They wore in splendid condition. The official declaration of tho result of tho polling for tho return of fivo members for the Lovels Road Board will bo made to-day. On account of tho results of the Pleasant Point and Totara Valley polling not coming to hand we are unable to giro tho result of the eloction, but will do so on Monday. St. Leon's circus oponod at Temuka last evening to a good houso. Tho programme was similar to that presented at Timaru, and was as usual exceedingly well carried out. The circus proceeds to Geraldine to-day, giving a performance there to-night. On Monday they open in Ashburton. Tho bricks and othor debris on tho burnt sito of the Club Hotel, Waimato, are being cleared away preparatory to tho occupation of tho Bite otherwise. It has not yet been decided whether tho hotel is to bo rebuilt, but tho probability is that it will not, for some time at least, the prevailing depression militates against tho building trade in the town. Sororal dogs havo been poisoned of late in Tomuka, and owners of valuable animals should be very careful about allowing them to run about loose. It is unknown by whom the poison baa beon laid. Whoover it is has not published tho fact of poison having been laid, and in all probability if ho is discovered, bo will find that he has made a mislako in not letting it bo generally known. Ono of tho men engaged in erecting tho tent for St. Leon's circus at Temuka had a Tory narrow cscapo from a severe, if not fatal, accident. While hoisting tho polo it slipped and fell, knocking ono of the hands down and falling upon him. Luckily at his back was a slight eminenco, and tho pole falling upon this was provented from crushing tho man, who escaped with a few bruises. Wo understand that Miss Lulio Anderson, who has been assisting Madamo Summerhayes to delight Timaru audiences this week by her musical and histrionic talont, i3 about to Bever hor connection with Madame Summerhayes, and join Mr Bignold's dramatic company. Mub Anderson, whether acting advisedly or not in abandoning music for the legitimate will, we are confident, make her mark upon the stago ere long. The trees planted in tho immodiato vicinity of tho Waimato railway station nearly two years ago by tho Government havo all taken root! well, and havo already mado considerable progress in growth. There is a great variety of these, and the area thoy ocoupy is nearly two acres. When tho plantation attains a highor state of growth it will form an ornament to tho part of the town in which it is situated as well as shelter to the station. The planting was dono by mon from tho ranks of tho unemployed who appealed to the Government for work. At a meeting of the Makikihi School Committeo, held in tho school on Tuesday evening last, tho teacher's report showed the building to bo quito inadequate to the requirements of tho district. At present tho number of ohildron attondiDg school is SC, and tho schoolroom is only 25ft x 20ft (or 500ft superficial), just enough accomodation for 33 children. The teacher wisely stated in his report that tho children might sit comfortably with folded arms in tho place allotted them, but that it was impossible for himself or the pupil toaoher to impart oral instruction under theso circumstances. Hitherto the teacher (Mr Goodeve) had been-utilizing tho porch, which is only 10ft x 10ft, as a temporary class-room, but in tho face of tho approaching winter ho finds this will bo impracticable, as thoro are no means of warming it. Undor theso circumstances the teacher urged tho committee to apply to tho Board of Education to have a suitable class room erected immediately. The school room is one of tho smallest belonging to tho South Canterbury Board of Education, and yet it is tho most important country school under tho board except one. It is to hoped the board will find better accommodation for the children attending this school, else several parents intend to withdraw their children during tho winter, and this will have a great effect of lowering the standard which the school has just attained. • <

Tho South Canterbury Harrier pack will moot for hunting at the Washdyke Hotel today at 1.30 o'clock, from whence a start will bo mado. Should tho day provo fino a pleasant day's outing is anticipated. Mr Digby Andrews, tho well-known billiard-marker, announces in our advertising columns this morniDg that he has taken the Clarendon Hotel billinrd-room, nnd hopes lovers of tho green cloth will continue to visit him in his new quarters. He takes charge of tho room on Monday. A great and much needed improvement to to the approach of tho main wharf is being made. It is tho Harbor Board's intention to widen the approach so that in futuro thore will bo littlo, if any, danger of persons boing ruu over or knocked down by an engine or truck that is being shunted on to tho wharf. Tho Prießtman dredge, which hail previous to tho arrival of tho dredge Progress been dredging part of our harbour from tho wharf, was yesterday partly taken to pieces. It is tho intention of the Harbour Board to Ecnd tho dredge to Dunedin to bo strengthened and repaired, and mado moro suitablo for dredging purposes. . . Nearly tho whole of tho threshing has been dono in tho Makikihi district, and tho grain has been got to market this year in excellent condition. There has boen "some very heavy crops in tho locality this year, and somo big yields, . as high as 93 bushels of wheat, and 100 bushels of oats, per aero, whilst in several instances the former yielded 50, and latter 80 bushels per acre. As prices are hardening, no doubt there will be a much larger area brought under the plough during the coming season. The Chinamen's garden at Waimato is one of tho best in the country. It contains an area of 5 acres, and is worked by threo celestials, who spare no pains to mako it productive. The whole of tho ground is occupied with the usual variety of vegetables that aro cultivated in the colonies by the sons of the Flowery Land, whoso industry seems to know no bounds. Tho town is principally supplied with vegetables from tho garden, with that regularity which characterises John Chinaman wherever ho locates himself, and lhat too, at very reasonable prices. The garden iB rented at £30 a year. Madamo Summorhayes brought a season of four nights to a closo at tho Theatre Royal last evening. Tho attendance was not large, but although few in numbers, they were most appreciative. Evory item in the programme was gono through capitally. Mr Pitz-Nigell Nicholls was in Bplendid voice, and sang " Ask Nothing More" in good style. Mias Lullio Anderson performed her part well in the comic operetta "Cupa and Saucers." Mr Sidney Wolf, RA.M., actod as conductor most efficiently. The audience wont homo well satisfied with the entertainment. Tho Lifeboat Lodge, 1.0.G.T., No. 101, oponcd at 7.30 last night: P.M. Bro G. Brown, W.0.T., presiding. After usual routine business wbb gono through, one candidate wos initiated, and two proposod. Tho retiring officers submitted thoir reports" showing the lodge to bo in a sound financial position. Tho installation of officers now took place, Bro Carr, D.D., Dunedin, G.W. Treasurer, being tho installing officers, Bro Jones, Star of Hope Lodge, Oamaru, assisting as G.W.M., and Bro S. Davis, Pioneer Lodge, Dunedin, aa G.W. Secretary. The following officers were installed : — Bro Anthony Mills, W.C.T. ; Bro Harris, W.V.T. ; Bro H. Barker, W. Secretary ; Bro Hedges, W. Treasurer ; Sister Mills, W.O. j Bro W Torrence, W.M. ; Bro James Clarke, W.1.G. ; Bro G. Brown, P.W.O.T. After votes of thanks bad boen accorded to the installing officers and to tho visitors, tho lodge was closed in due form. To-day a football scratch match will be played on tho S.C.F. ground ot Waimatatai. As some foreign matches ore to be played shortly it is to bo hoped a good muster of members will roll up. To-day a picked 15 will play against other members of- the club, but it is to bo understood that the 15 named are not necessarily to represent tho local club in !tho coming match against Sydenham which is to be played at Christchurch on the Queen's Birthday. 1 ho Christchurch Club will play against tho S.C.F.C. on tho 19th Juno noxt in Timaru. Tho team will bo chosen from among members that mako tho most points during scratch matches. Tlio followis the fifteon : — McLean (full-back), G. Wood ond G. Colo (half-backs), Macintosh, Cotter ond Lawreneon (quarter-backs), Campbell, Hughes, Birrell, Eusscll, Smith, Gabites, Mackay, Sheehan ond Gooch (forwards) ; for the club — Wake, Fish, Stubbs (2), Hennah. (2), Chisholm, W. Wood, Mullins, Binning, Tosswill, Mills, E. Haggett, Vallange, Malcolmson, Hobbs, LeCren (2), Bees and A. Gooch. The winners of prizes at tho late sports meeting in connection with tho Timaru High School received their trophies yesterday afternoon, immediately beforo the school broke up for tho term holidays. The Yen. Archdeacon Harpor, Chairman of the Board of Governors, attendod at a quarter to four o'clock ond, after a few appropriate remarks of congratulation and encouragement to tho boys with regard both to their sports and their studies, proceeded to distribute tho-prizes. The volne of each prizo was fixed by tho Boys'Committeo according to the funds ot their disposal, but the form it should tako was left to the choico of the owner. Accordingly six handsome cups wero chosen, several books ond sundry other articles which, altogether maels a fino show os they wero displayed before boing presontcd. Each boy, on receiving bis trophy, was greeted with applause, and tho proceedings closed with threo hearty cheers for. Archdeacon Harper. A cup presented to the Sports Committee by Mr Young, from whom soveral of tho trophies wero obtained, has been offered as a Bhooting prize to tho Timaru Higb School Cadets, to bo fired for at an eorly date. Tho wholo management both of thosports meeting and of tho obtaining and distributing of tho prizes reflects the greatest credit on the committee of boys who conducted tho affair throughout without ony direction from teachers or others. Tho Wellington correspondent of tho Lyttelton Times telegraphed as follows on Wednesday evening :— lt is reported hero that many members of Parliament do not intend to bring their families to Wellington this session, owing to the alloged prevalence of typhoid fever in the city. Ido not know who spread the report abroad, but yesterday tho New Zealand Times seriously alarmed the citizens by stating that there were forty typhoid fever patients in tho hospital, and a largo numbor outside tbat institution. As the article in question created almost a panic in town, the Evening Post, last night and this morning, despatched a special reporter to interview the resident members' of the medical profession. Ho 'called upon the whole of the profession, and the result of his enquiries is very, reassuring. From bis

report, ifc is clenr that there has been a certain amount of typhoid fever in the city, but rather Icsb than is usually experienced in tlio autumn. Tho practitioners positively nEsert that the cases are confined entirely to tlio poorer classes of tho inhabitants. Tho medical men are unanimous in their assertions that thero is not the slightest cause for alarm. Thero aro only about half a dozen cases in tho hospital, and during the past month there has only been one death thero. Most of tbo cases are of a mild typo, and will soon bo discharged from tho institution. Tho articlo of the Post's special reporter, published in to-night's issue, has already had the effect of allaying all uneasiness. The sentence received by a man in tho R.M. Court on Tuesday should (says the Ashburton Mail of Thursday) provo a deterrent to those persons who brutally treat dogs and other animals. Tho man in question, who was proved to havo acted with great cruelty towards ono of his dogs, kicking ifc in an unmerciful manner, received four months' hard labour. He produced a dog in Court in support of his assertion that he had not kurt the animal, but acting on information received tho police subsequently found the body of a dead dog on tho accused's premises. Ha stated that it had died from the effects of poison, but on examination made ot the Police Station in tho evening rovealed the fact that five ribs on tho poor creature's left side bad been brokon, and tho points of several on tho right side wero also fractured. The blood vessels in tho vicinity of tho throat were congested, and appearances pointed in the direction that their condition was due to strangling. Tho whole of the dog's inside had been " battered to a mass of pulp. The owner's assertion that death was tho result of poisoning may be truo, but, to say tho least, it eoema highly improbable. Mr A. Hayes' brigantine Lady Mabel of 300 tons, is now in our port (says tho Oamaru Mail) loading with stono for Samoa. The vessel has beon chartered by Mr M. de H. Duval (of Timarn), on behalf of tho Catholic Bishop of Samoa, and tho stone is to be usod in the construction of a cathedral at that place. Mr Duval is tbo architect of the building, which is to be 157ft long by 62ft wide, tho walls 30ft high, and tbe front to be flanked by two towers, each 120ft high. Tho style of architecture is to be Roman, and 60,000 cubic feet, or 3COO tons, of Oamaru Btbno will be used in tho construction of tho building in addition to native volcanio stono. Owing to tho violent storms that periodically visit the island it has been deemed necessary to make tho walls of tho main building 4ft and the towers sft thick. The structure will therefore be of a most substantial as well as boautif ul character. - Ifc will bo seen that, as the Lady Mabel takes 300 tons eaoh trip, sho will havo to make 10 trips between here and Samoa in order to convey all tho Oamaru stone that is to bo used in tho building i but as : threo years at least will be occupied in its construction, she will havo no difficulty in keeping up the supply. According to tho Medical Abstract, tho discovery has been made in Columbia of a shrub which exudes a juice having so powerful an offect in arresting tho flow of blood that largo veins may be out by a knifo and smeared with it without causing hemorrhage. The plant ia called " aliza " by the natives. A remarkable variation has been observed in the stature of tho inhabitants of Franca If a lino bo drawn diagonally aeroßß tha country from Manche to Lyons, the people to tho north-cast of the division have an average height of 6 feet 6.6 inches, whi'o' thoso on the south-west side averago only 5 feet 4.6 inches.
