DISTRIBUTES MAIL.
Remarkable Mechanism is Being
Tested by the United States
Postal Department.

A new letter distributing machine
which is being tested by the post
Office department of the government
may reyolutioniZe the handling of
mail If 1t is generally adopted. The
machine is the invention of William
Barry of Oswee0.' IN, Y, who original
ed the Barry eanceling machine.
The new device, demonstrated in
New York only recently, Is pro-
nouuced a marvel. The case is operat-
ed like a typewriter Letters are
placed first in pile on top of the
machine From this one OF these is
caused to descend to place where
the operator can read the address.
He strikes a key, corresponding to
its destination, and the letter is made
to pass between the understde of the
belts and the upper side of the gates,
at high velocity, until il reaches
the box with the gate opened into
which ii drops.
The case consists of a rectangular
iron frame, five feet long, five feet
high and 20 inches wide. A case of
boxes or pigeon holes, similar TO that
mail by hand, is suspended in this
frame. There is a keyboard similar to
that of a typewriter or type-setting
machine and other delicate operative
oh mi e l,0 I'M
Here the operator stands or sits, as he
may desire.
The boxes are arranged in horizon
tai rows and over each row is a mar
row passageway extending from end
to end of the machine. The upper side
or top of each box is open, but has a
gate hinged to it so as to close the
open top against the entrance Of let
ter and these gates are opened or
closed according to the will of the
operator.
There is a key for each box and
each key has the name OF a pOstotlice
OF mail route on its face; correspond
ing to the names in the ordinary case,
There are two narrow swift moving
belts that run side by side through
the passage ways just above the gates.
The postotfice department has rec
ognized the advantages of the device
and has ordered two of them for test
ing purposes. Three hundred per cent.
more work can be done than by the
old hand process. There is a weigh
ing scheme attached so that If a piece
of mail is overweight it is immediate
ly detected. The number of pieces
passing through the machine are re-
corded. They are also weighed in bulk
before being run through the case.

stood for leetlring on every other
conceivable subject, and from every
possible source, it is quite likely that
we will patiently listen to4the Hindu
ideas ON ''rhyt respiration"
1t has generally been supposed that
our breathing is one thing which takes
care of itself. True, some scientists
stoutly declare that at that remote
period when plant life was at the point
of evolving into something higher,
breathing was voluntary and the chief
concern and occupation. But in the
countless stages of evolution and
countless ages, the process has become
second nature, automatic, and man
had fondly believed it was off his mind
for good. But the lecturing woman
just back from India brings us to a
rude awakening Our breathing must
be constantly looked after and as care
fully regulated as our diet she de-
clares. And not only while we are
awake must the breathing be controll-
ed, but while we are asleep as well.
Mrs. Noble charges that we do not
really breathe un,ess We employ our
three chest diameters and our oltactory
nerves and beat time with our dia-
phragms. What we must do. she says,
is to bluff the olfactory nerve bulb
into imaging the scent OF an orchid,
Havana perfecto or your favorite
gasoline wagon, and inhale as if you
enjoyed the perfume. That is the way
when awake. Then when you lie down
to sleep, think beautiful thoughts until
you slip into sunderland, and these
will turn into sweet dreams that Will
keep the breathing right until you
awake.
This careful control OF rhythmic
respiration. the woman from India de-
clares, will make the lean fatter and
the fat leaner the sicllly healthy, the
INDECENT active and will keep the
heart youthful in its emotions and the
face and form youthful in their lines,
The theory has the merit OF not cost
ing anything for trial. Whether 1t has
any other merit or not remains to
be seen by anybody sufficiently in
terested in it to try it.

Miscellaneous Matters.


The subject of teams dropping
dirt on paved streets in going to ard
returning from Twenty-sixth street
which they are filling was discussed
at length. Dan Hartman. one of the
trustees of the Cairo Dredging Co,
who are having the filling done, ex-
planned that the evil complained of
could not be avoided entirely. but he
would see to it that the teams did not
pass over more than one street at a
time and rot over paved streets when
returning for a load The complaint
as stated by the mayor was that
teams scattered dirt over the paved
streets when returning.
The sewer condition on Commercial
avenue from Fourteenth to Fifteenth
streets was taken up. The mayor
stated that the stepping of drainage
there endangered the health of a
large section of the city which now
depended upon the big sewer for re.
lief and he felt that something ought
to be done if possible TO provide TEN.
porary relief if the damage to the
sewer could not be repaired at once.
Mr. Rich, of the Rich Construction
Co was present and said it would
be Impractical to take his machinery
away from Seventh street at present
to do the reconstruction work at
Fourteenth street which could not be
done without the machinery. But ne
would take the matter up with the
city engineer and see if some tenn
,porary drainage could not be pro-
duced through the old sewer, which
would serve the needs of the people
until the new main could be repaired
Mr.. Rich said also that his COM
pany had done about 100000 worth
of work on the Commercial avenue
sewer and that the city was holding
back $4,000 of this. Under the con
tract it was entitled to hold $4,000
so that about $4,000 was due him.
He would like to have this latter sum
allowed as he needed me money The
bard will take up this matter at fu-
ture meeting.
