MACHINE-MADE QUIETUDE.
A COOPERATIVE SOCIETY GUlRAN-
TEES PEACEFUL MoRNING&
Operates by Keyboard Connection with

End-One Set OF Machines Ready for Use.
The Cooperative Quietus Society In an upper
street In Now York Ia now organized and will
be equipped as soon as artisans can complete
the machinery.
Time, patience, experiments. and some
money have been necessary to prepare the So
ciety for its work. Neither the names OF the
officers OF the society nor its locality can be
given In this article for reasons that must APP
pear to people who are tavorably disposed
toward good order. 1t is confidently asserted,
however, by one Of the officers. who talked
guerdedly about the organization, that, after
its work shall have been done. the originators
OF the plan will have a conspicuous tablet in the
temple OF immortals.
The organizations membership. work and
apparatus are at present confined to two blocks.
Each member Is supplied with n mechanism
which operates on the same principle as that
used by engineers in charge of electric mines.
The several plants are on the roofs OF the
houses In the blocks which are opposite. Each
plant has its own power, which operates In o
different manner from that of the others.
The officer OF the society who exhibited some
OF the plants to a sun reporter refused to enter
into details. but he said enough to give a skele-
ton idea OF their nature.
This plant. as you see, ia called Flora,

Flora? 1 am coming to that. One OF the nui-
sances Of our street, and I dare say others. is the
man who sells flowers and plants. the green
house-on-wheels man. OF course every person OF
taste and refinement loves flowers and plants.
THEY beautify many a fiat and apartment
which otherwise would drive occupants to q
madhouse or a beer saloon. But our society
holds that a man or woman who wants such
things should order them SO that they could be
delivered the same as your steaks, upthe chute.
These men who hawk flowers and plants are
the street fakirs. A man who sells flowers and
plants for 2 livelihood is not q bad fellow at
