J: ‘ .____.. LONG SLEEPS. Remarkable Case of a Girl' Who Slept For 32 Years. A Swedish girl holds the record for long sleeping. She came home from her work soon after her fourteenth birthday, complaining of toothache, and went to bed. Soon afterwards she fell asleep, and slept without waking from 1875 to 1907, a period of thirty-two years. Her only nourishment during this 3 period was two cupfuls of milk a day. She fully awoke at the age of forty- six, and immediately asked for her mother, who was dead. She did not‘ recognize her brothers, whom she had known as little boys. She remember‘ ed nothing during her trance. Yet recovery was absolute.

It was the first strong- hold on the Londonlndia route to withstand a severe attack by the Turks. One Arabian author says of the country behind Aden, that country known as Arabia Felix: Its inhabitants are all hale and strong, sickness is unknown, nor are there poisonous plants or animals; no fool nor blind people, and the wo- men are ever young; the climate is like paradise and one wears the same garments summer and winter. Aden, however, where the British and Turkish forces met enjoys none of these advantages catalogued as inherent in Arabia Felix. Spread over its ragged bills of sun made ash and cinder, sweltering. gloomy and un- relieved by vegetation, Aden invites little attention in peace times. “Aden is a valley surrounded by the sea; its ‘climate is so bad that it turns wine into vinegar in the space of ten days,” complained one disappointed Arab traveller in the middle ages. ls Healthful Place» And in the centuries since his visit the climate has not improved. In spite of the terrible heat that gathâ€" ers over Aden’s valley and clings to its low bills, and its lack of a good water supply, the place maintains a reputation of being a healthlful place. Rock cisterns cut in a deep gorge hold the town’s water supply. The town is built on desolare ml nic rocks that constitute a. penin- sula near the entrance to the Red Sea.

T Aden is the British Gibraltar toward the Indian Ocean that keeps an eter» nal vigilance over the safety of the, rich English commerce that goes this Way. The British captured and iannexed the place on January 16, 1839, since which time they have made the. place a most emphatic fortâ€" .ress, one of the strongest anywhere in Southern Asia. A Great Fortress Money and labor without stint have been expended there. to make the "city absolutely impregnable from land and sea. Massive lilies of defense, [strengthened by a. broad moat, guard the neck of the isthmus, and these defenses’conceal powerful batteries. Turrets, hidden forts, mined ap- proaches, bastions, towers, batteries, magazines, mole batteries toward the sea, mined harbors, great naval guns, obstruction piers; barracks, re~ doubts in solid rockâ€"all are elements in the British plan to guard this southern end of their important trade route beyond all possible chance of failure against superior and sustain- ed attack. Aden may be last in mat- ters of climate, but it is among the first in matters of tortiflcatios. The narrow peninsula ouwhich this queen of southern fortresses rears itself is only about fifteen miles in circumference. It is the bowl of an extinct volcano. The lofty hills around are the remains of the crater sides, and these, Shem Shem has an altitude of nearly 1,800 feet. All food and water for use in the penin- sula has to be brought in from the outside. Much of the water is supplied'from the Government condensers, which were designed to make the fortress independent in case of war’ necessi- ’tles. The population of 44,000 is. a mixture of all the elements of the Orlen, with an lntersprinkling of Western drummers, British adminis- trators and military men. Arabs, Chinese, Persians, Turks, Hindus, Parsees, Egyptians, Sudanese and Jews compose the stolid, stable popu- lation that endures the climate year fin and out, and carries on the labors lot the great fortress camp. l ._ it- ; Tommyâ€"“Pa what is a Free- thinker?"
