A UNIQUE FACTORY.
THERE ARE WONDERFUL MACHINES,
 BUT NO VISIBLE PRODUCT.


 Without any question whatever. it i.
 the most unique factory in New York
 When you enter the door, the whir and
 buzz of machinery abstracts your ears
 You see belts and pulleys in rapid mo.
 tion; you feel the heat of the engine
 which keeps all the machinery going
 and you know that you ure in place
 where something or other is being manu-
 factured.
 IL IS hard, however, to discover just what the manufactured product may be, and the polite attendant who meets you at the door gives you no clew of it as he ushers you into the noisy workshop.
 visited this establishment the other day at the suggestion of friend, who said it was the queerest place in Gotham and had never been written up.n
 The machinery was placed on one side of a long, sunny room. On the other sideof the room were about dozen vel vet couches, on which were reclining mufiled up figures. As l entered, fig ure arose and walked over to one of the machines. It was the figure of wom- an. She drew up a chair, sat down and | placed Ter hands on little horizontal metal bar. The bar jerled and trembled and the fingers gave little spasmodic 1 jumps in response. This queer perform ance continued for several minutes, and then the woman changed her position and placed her feet in q sort of square stirrup at the side of the machine,
 The siirrup immediately shook back ward and forward half revolYed, spring ing back and revolving again with most astonishing eccentricities. The foot was shaken into the selnhlance of half doz en feet, and the movement was all from the ankle joints. What any foot had ever done :o deserve such treatment, or what good to Che foot the treatment was supposed to do ultimately, was to me an ineNplicable mystery.
 Al another machine second woman sat, with her aru clasped by two rubber and metal plates which rapidly reyolyed, recedmg and returning, pressing the arm until it looked like wee flat band of scarlet ribbon Ghe woman wore red gown and then receding again. wiirring and whirling with wonderful velocity
 was nlysliied at first, but as the minutes flew by I began 10 be q bit alarmed, did not relish tho idea of be- ing in luaatic asy luu, where the pa- t,ents ran machinery and thrust their limbs into the revolving wheels without any apparent faar or reason.
 Tho attendants, however. seemed to take everything as F matter of course and left me rJ my owI resources. One of these attendants went 10 a couch on which 8 young woman was lying face downward, aal without moments warning one eal of the couch rose to m upright position, leaving the young woman ia an attitude which would be easiCst described as standing on her shoulders, ner hands claspei over her head. The coacA wGs lowered and raised again, and this performance WAS repeat cd fOlr or five times Then the young woman lay down and vent tc sleep.
 One machine was worked by hand ape parenay, It consisted of h0riz1otdl bar, padded with leather, in front of which was & movable rod of metal Ear- nishel wigh resisting sprins, Every few uinuseg some one would brace against tae leather arm aad pull the rod ia front Wh1n 1t sprans 1p t carried the subject almost into tDe air, and to re,4iu the grasp of 1t tLa subject was obliged to breathe hard, stand on her toes and pull wish all her might. \ casual observer asked to gacss what this machine manufactured woall certainly reply, Long arms
 But the queerest machines of all were two cCache in the center Of which were moving wooden balls. These balls moved | slowly up and down in regular motion.
 Jusi as l was getting very much inter- ested in this apparatus some one gently | pushed me as.lg ald placed herself on one of the eouches, lying deliberately on l top of the moving balls. Far from being og annoyed, this peculiar seemed to enjoy her restless resting place, and after fw minutes | stay she went to the other couch-to test the effects of the other balls presumably. 1 Al tdi5 was very interesting, of course, and in the intervals of manufacturing | every one struck attitudes, swung them | selyc around by placing their feet firmly together on tho floor and graspiug iron | rings far above their heads.
 Another unseemly game which they in- lulgel in was to knoel on q couch, with some one holding their hands and some one else holding their feet, and then fling themselves forward the entire length of their bodies They were certainly ener. 5etic, and tho expression of dignifed gravity on tGeir faces as they performed ,hese peculiar gyrations was ludicrous in he extreme.
 This peculiar factory undertakes to nanufacture-hayeyo you guessed?-health without medieine-rosy checks painless bodies, supple muscles and sound organs md good digestions just by mechanical xercise.
 Recruits from the ranks of the lame, he halt and the blind come here ex- )ecting to be cured. Hysteria, tight acing, rheumatism, send patients here, md that is why every day they act, to he inexperienced, like so many ire pousible lunatics. It IS simply another 'ersion of the Chicago boast that in hat western city they have machines in me end of which they put pig which :omes out the other end plump and luscious sausage. You begin at the foot haker here and end by being able to Jay football--so they say.-New York Advertiser.
