Hearing Your Men at Work.

The manager of a machine shop or factory can know how much work is being done at benches by mechanics or by power-driven machines or tools by means of microphones or telephone transmitters connected with the work ing apparatus, says Popular Science. By becoming familiar with the vibra- tions of the different machines he can tell at any given moment just how fast Pat Is working the lathe, or how industriously Mike is operating the milling machine on one of his blue Mondays. In addition to this he can tell at a simple turn of the switch if the machines are running at normal speed and smoothly and properly, as they should.

PLEA FOR BED AS IT WAS
Modern Things That Masquerade as Such Are Properly Condemned by
 Chicago Newspaper.

Modern life, having succeeded in eliminating economy from the list of virtues, is now, apparently, conducting drive against sleep, which the old CT authorities numbered among man. kinds blessings. People, city people in particular, seem to be ashamed of the fact that they must sleep. Tired natures sweet restorer, sore labor's bath, that which knits up the raveled sleeve of care-the inventor of which was so praised by Sancho Panza, prince of squires, is in disrepute.
 This tendency to conceal the fact that sleep still falls upon mankind is strikingly illustrated by modern furni- ture. The bed that was frankly bed is being thrust into the background as something to be ashamed of. It's place is taken by various kinds of monstroSitieS that masquerade as oth- CT articles of furniture in the day time, and, indeed, far into the night, confessing that they can be made to serve as beds only when frivolity can no longer stand or sit, but must, per- force, become recumbent.
 The bookcase, the piano, the bath tub, the mirror, the closet door, the Morris chair-these may aa any mo- ment, by the pulling of strap or the pressing of spring, be revealed as sleeping utensils-beds one cannot fairly call them. And they function as beds in diffident, half-hearted way, as if ashamed of the office. Jacks of many trades, they are masters Of none.
 Until sleep itself becomes obsolete the human race must have beds of some sort, and the more comfortable they are the better. No sleeping im- plement disguised as photograph, q bird cage or cook stove can take the place of the old-fashioned piece of furniture that was bed and nothing else.-Chicago News.
