June 13.—Only the old fashioned folks will go on counting phan tom sheeps as an inducement' to sleep if half of the claims are realized of the inventor of a new machine designed to relieve insomnia vicitims of all their bothers. ‘ This novel contrivance which was re cently patented by a young Cheshire in vestor after Jour years of experimenting, represents an attempt to adapt the science of chromopathy, or relief by colors' to the treatment of sleeplessness. The users of the apparatus, upon going to bed. places the sleep producing machine, which in many ways has the appearance 6f a wireless receiving set. upon a nearby table, and presses intermittently at a switch which is held in his hand. This Causes rays of twelve different colors to flash from the machine in a pre-arranged sequence, and it is; the effect of this combination of colors upon the retina of the eye that is supposed to induce sleep for even the most restless persons. Many stubborn cases of sleeplessness are declared to have been overcome in pe riods varying from ten to fifteen minutes, and furthermore, the inventor cotends that by the use of his apparatus he is easily able to put an ordinary person to sleep at almost any time dnring, day light. The rays have no ill effect what ever, says the inventor, on the eyesight.
