SPEEDING THE MAIL
Automatic Mail Clerks in Use in
New York.
First Plant for Handling Mail by Ma
chinery Now in Operation In Penn
sylvania Misunderstanding
Of Seconds Valuable.

New York.-The first complete me-
chanical system for loading mail mat
ter into cars, providing for its hand
ling entirely by automatic appliances
from mail wagons to train, has just
been installed in this city.
The apparatus Is part of the equip
ment of the new Pennsylvania termi-
nal, through which passes 40 per cent
of the mail matter leaving New York
The saving even of seconds is valu
able, and from the time when the
wagons from the post office deliver
the pouches at the street level until
they enter the mail cars waiting on
the level of the tunnel, 70 feet lower
down, human labor is supplanted by
nine rapid mechanical devices.
There are three stages in the pro-
cess of getting the sacks Of mail from
the street to the mail cars Some time
before the fast mail train to western
points, consisting Of perhaps half a
dozen cars, is scheduled to leave the
station, 1t Is shunted to the mail
track. Into these cars there shortly
begin to drop automatically delivered
pouches coming from some unseen
source. AS the moment of departure
approaches the pouches come in more
rapid succession, until they are shoot
ing into the cars in constant
stream.
Rising slightly above the floor OF
the station at the point where the
mail wagons make their deliveries are
a number of huge hollow sheet-iron
cylinders. Into these the pouches are
dumped, and slip down to a point just
above the roofs of the waiting cars.
The pouches do not fall in a direct
line, since this might injure their con-
tents, but they go down on spiral

WORKING OF HUMAN MACHINE
Gives From rs to IS Per Cent. Profit
on Expense Of Keeping II In
Good Order.

Prof. Jules Amar recently submitted
to the Academy of Medicine In Paris
the results of his study of the NAH
machine. He proceeded upon the prin-
ciple that man who eats literally
ought to recuperate in weight every
twenty-four hours.
If his weight lessons he works to
excess, If his weight increases he has
not expended the maximum effort.
Amar found that the human machine
gives a profit of 25 to 35 per cent. on
the expenditure; but that the best ar
tificial machine returns only IA per
cent.
1t would seem from these expert
ments, says the Dietetic and Hygienic
Gazette, that man Is indeed superior
to all mechanisms; with the very
slight exception that he always wastes
energy during the first five minutes
of work before regaining his equilib
rum.
1t would seem that Mondays human
labor is the most inferior and Tues
days the most superior, owing to the
curious action of Sunday as a rest
day; the Monday lassitude Of the
French workingman is proverbial.
And 1t is found that the workman who
does not rest gradually loses his en-.
ergy. and this is now subject of keen
interest among scientists.
The relation between fatigue and
accidents receives much more atten-
ton in Europe than here, as do all
matters relating to the conservation
of human energy and the safety of
the workingman. The relation be-
tween fatigue and accidents has in
deed been noted In practically all
forms Of human energy. Bank clerks
make most of their mistakes late in
the afternoon, and this Is said to have
had something to do with the early
closing of such institutions. Bankers,
at any rate, have had the sense to
note that the mistakes of their en-
ployes are likely to prove expensive.

LATEST IDEAS IN HOSIERY
o"art'y Dressed Girls Have Returned
to the "ciock"-siIk STOCKINGS
Always the Proper Thino,

"Clocked" hosiery, such IA was
worn years ago, has become the new
est lad for smartly dressed girls. All
the stockings for day wear show this
embroidery up the side, sometimes in
self-colors, but more often in one con-
trasting. Red or white on black is
beyond doubt the best.
This form of decoration has already
misplaced openwork for the carefully
dressed woman. 1t has finally been
decided that lacy effects are not good
Tor the street, but that they should be
reserved for the house and evening
wear. Therefore. elaborate as is the
hosiery for dress use, 1t is very plain
for street wear.
Severity In out of doors dress has
led to adopting an entirely different
quality Of hosiery for that time. Girls
who can afford to, wear silk stockings
always, but they have now at least
three different qualities. When walk
ing, the thin transparent, though
plain, kind is given up.
This is now reserved for the house
IN the morning, or when paying visits
In motor in the afternoon.

iron cylinders inclose.
When the bags reach the bottom Of
the cylinder the first stage OF their
handling is ended. From that point
they drop on to one of a number of
continually moving endless belt con-
veyors, which travel just above the
roofs of the cars of the waiting train.
Each cylinder leads to a certain belt,
and each belt serves the trains set
on certain track But as all the
mail is not carried In one car, a third
operation is necessary Standing on
the platform beside the train are a
number of movable curved chutes Just
long enough to reach from the con-

car, and by means of an ingenious
automatic tripping arrangement each
pouch. as 1t reaches the point above
the car for which 1t is destined, falls
from the belt into the curved chute
and lands on the floor of the car.
