BLAKESLEE (Associated Press Science Editor) NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—It is 221 years since the sleeping sick- ness, epidemic encephalitis, was first recorded; and 15 years since an almost world-wide search for its cause was begun. But as doctors in St. Louis and vicinity watched the death toll, the cause was still un- known, although guessed at.
