HOW INSOMNIA IS CAUSED

Experience shows that in the period preceding the attack of skroplessness, the individual has, invariably, been making overdrafts on the supply of phosphorus in his body, which, in consequence of its diminislied strength, is unable to make food this loss from the food which is ordinarily Phosphorus exercises an important sway over the life of the cells of whigh every portion of our body is made, and ever the living chemical Tunnicliffe, of King's College. London, has pointed eat. Moreover, as Sir William Gowns maintaine phosphorus notably increases the proportion of the red blood corpuscles in the that when there is sick of this vital element blood. It can, therefore, be easily understood there is manifest diminution in the perform. ance of the various functions.

The ordinary strain of life, coupled with the stress of the tropical climate, constantly deplates the supply of phosphorus, and imposes a strain on the nervous system.

Assuming rather arbitrarily, I must confess that the empire could without congestion sup. port a total population equal to the present ratio of Rhineland and Westphalia combined, giving 552 to the square mile, there would be room for an increase to 116 millions, or some 50 millions beyond the present ligare, so that if the existing rate of multiplication continued, the growth of enother 30 years or so could still be absorbed.

FUTILE PAN-DERMAN AMBITIONS. The Pan-Germanic idea of the absorption of the Austrian part of the sister empire may be dismissed at once na chixaerical. It is true that the population question is not nearly so scute there is in Germany, Austria, with its area of 115,900 square miles, has a density of 226 persons to the square mile, or 51 fewer than Germany, and the two countries together have a density of 267, while on the potential ratio of Rhine land and Westphalia they would give space for

The Pan-Gormans, who never get faced hard facts seriously, ignore one fatal objection to their pot proposal for drawing teether the German-speaking peoples. Of the 26 million or moro inhabitants of the Austrian monarchy, only about a third are Gorman by language, and a far smaller number are German by sentiment, while the remaining two-thirds are made up of at least a dozen races.
