There is, perhaps, no other trade
and very few professions" writes Will
liam HaddOw in the Technical World
Magazine, that require the high order
of intelligence, the study, the applica-
ton, the real hard headed common
sense, the surgeons delicacy of touch,
for instance, in fitting of fine work,
that the machinist's trade demands to
give the excellent work and the inter-
changeability Of parts found in the
modern rifle or sewing machine The
range of his work Is from a needle to
battleship; from automatic machin-
cry that would talk French had it one
more movement to measuring ma
chimes guaranteed not to vary more
than the fifty-thousandth part of an
inch from the absolute. This precision
will perhaps be better appreciated when
1t is remembered that $50 times this
limit of variation is only equal to the
diameter of the average human hair.
Standard plug and ring gauges, to take
specific example, are SO accurately
fitted to each other than the expansion
due to the warmth of the hand, if the
plug be held in it for a few moments,
will make it impossible to insert the
plug in the ring, while if the ring be
expanded in the same way the plug
will drop clear through it.
"When the machinist has become
skillful enough to fulfill the above re-
quirements he may receive from $3.50
per day up to whatever he can make
himself worth and prove it."

Fire Stopped in Residence Portion.

FFS SkOPPSo IN NcSIuenCG PORTION.
New York, April 20.-The Western
Union received the following from San
Francisco shortly before 9 o'clock, Pa
cific coast time:
THE fire in the residence section
has been stopped at Octavia street
and is now confined to Telegraph hill
Inasmuch as there is large burned
area between that part of Telegraph
Hill now on fire, and the section OF
the city further west and since the
fire is practically out in this burned
area, the flames will probably not
spread much further in this section
One great danger which may lead to
fresh fires about the city is likely tc
be the kindling of fires in stoves by
ignorant persons. There is scarcely a
chimney In town that is safe to trust
to a stove fire."

"The fire came very close to Fort
Mason last night and the big Fontana

no doubt go today.

MYSTERIES OF SLEEP.
The Time When Greatest Depth Of
Sumber Occurs.

The Time When Greatest Depth o.
SIumber Occurs.
1t is related of a Chinese mer-
chant who was convicted of wife
murder and sentenced to die by be-
ing deprived of sleep that he was
placed in prison with guards
changed hourly for the purpose of
preventing him from sleeping. Aft
er the commencement of the eighth
day his suffering was so intense that
he implored the authorities to stran-
gle, guillotine, burn him, drown
him, garrote, shoot, quarter, blow
him up with gunpowder or put him
to death in any conceivable way.
Natural sleep has been defined as
mental rest produced by an appe-
tite resulting from fatigue, but the
idea that mental rest means mental
inaction is hardly tenable, inasmuch
as 1t quite frequently happens that
the solution Of unsolyed problems is
the first thing to appear in the con-
sciousness on awakening, and thus
the mind must have been operative
while asleep.
1t is commonly supposed that the
greatest depth of sleep occurs about
the end of the first hour. This,
however, is not invariably the rule,
according to my own observations
in the Cook County Chicago In
sane asylum, made some years ago,
when spent two successive nights
in hourly testing the depth of sleep
by light, sound and touch. A ma
lority Of the ten eases / had under
observation showed the greatest
depth to be at about 3 a. m. More
recently Drs. Sante de Sanctis and
N. Neyros, at the University of
Rome, tested the depth of sleep in
four normal persons by pressure
upon the temple One of these
showed the greatest depth Of sleep
in the second and fifth hours, while
the others showed the greatest
depth between the first and second
hours.
Talking in sleep is more common
than is generally supposed Arm

the Traveller died. He was a fine

the day after the funeral found the

their loss disconsofately.
"It has been a sad loss, friends,

An Impossible Photograph.

Business was not booming at the
little studio.
"Only one order Yesterday" said
the photographer, "and that was
an impossible one. A lady came in
with her little daughter. She had
seen, she said, my famous photo
graph of a little girl kissing herself
on the mouth in a mirror, and she
wanted her child taken likewise,
only she had scruples against kiss
ing on the mouth, on account of
germs, and so she wanted me to
photograph the youngster kissing
itself in the mirror on the fore
