Machine Measures Sleep.

AN ingenious sleep recorder has
L been invented by a doctor. A
thick rubber pad is placed on the
floor under one Of the bedposts at
the head of the bed. and the post is
connected to a delicate lever writing
on a drum revolved by clockwork.
The slightest movement of the person
on the bed creates a wave that is
accurately timed and recorded on the
drum. It Is claimed that a person
awake cannot simulate the quiet of
sleep for many minutes and that the
waves of movements In sleep can be
easily distinguished from those made
when awake. The instrument may be
made to give the physician sleep
record of his patient without the
latter's knowledge, while a connected
electric bell may signal the nurse
when the patient awakens.

were concerned. Bojus still lived, but
had no animation.
His more cautious friend, on the con-
trary. felt life freshening within him;
his physical uncertainties had disap-
peared from his active consciousness;
he was a new man, and said so. "Hah!"
he said. with great satisfaction and
in a much stronger voice than he had
dared to use earlier in the day. Optim-
ism came to him; he began to believe
that he was at the end of all his
troubles, and he decided to return to
the fresh air, the sunshine and an
interesting world. LESS git outdoors
and see what alls goin' on!" he said
heartily.
But first he took some precautions
for the sake of friendship. Fearing
that all might not go well with Bojus
IL Mamie were the first to be stirring
and happened to look into her cellar,
he went to the top of the stairs and
locked the door there upon the inside.
Then he came down again and once
more proved his moderation by placing
only one flask of Mamie's distillation
In his pocket. He could have taken
much more If he wished, but he some
times knew when to say no. In fact,
he now said 1t aloud and praised him
self little. Mo-" No sirr' he said
to some applicant within him. II

THE inward pleader consented; he

mounted it, and showed a fine
persistence in overcoming what ap-
peared to be impossibilities as he
contrived to wriggie himself through
a window narrower than he was.
1t suited his new mood to associate
himself now with all that was most
brilliant and prosperous. and so. at
briskish saunter. he walked those
streets where stood fine houses in
brave lawns. It was now an hour and
moro after noon, the air was lively,
yet temperate in the sunshine, and
the wealth he saw in calm display
about him invigorated him. Shining
cars passed by. proud ladies at ease
within them; rich little children
played about neat nursemaids stroll
ing upon the cement pavements;
naughty young men strode along,
flashing their walking sticks: noble
big dogs with sparkling collars gal
loped over the bright grass under
tall trees, and with all Of this Tuttle
now felt himself congenial and even
intimate. Moreover, he had the con-
viction that some charming and dra-
matte adventure was about to befall
him: 1t seemed to be just ahead

shuddered excessively. opened his
ewes to startled Wilderness and
abruptly sat up in his bed. To the
interior of his bosky ear. just then,
was borne the faint religious sound
of church bells Ginning In steepie
miles away in the center of the city,
and he was not pleased. An express
sion of disfavor slightly altered the
contours of his face, he muttered de-
family and decided to rise and go
forth.
Nothing could have been simpler.
The April night had been chilly, and
he had worn his shoes, no nightgear
had been exchanged for other gar
ments-in fact, no more was to be
done than to step out of the Limousine.
He did so, taking his greenish and
too plastic derby hat with him. and
Immediately he stood forth upon the
factory floor as well equipped to face
the public as ever. Thus, except for
several safety pins. glinting too
brightly where they might least have
been expected. he was a most ex-
cellent specimen of the protective
coloration exhibited by man, for man
has this instinct undoubtedly. On
the bright beaches by the sea, how
sayIy he conforms is to be noted
by the dullest observer; in the
autumnal woods man goes dull green
and dead leaf brown. and In the smoky
city all men. inside and out, are the
color of smoke. Mr.. Tuttle stood
forth, the color of the grimy asphalt
streets on which he lived, and If at
any time he had chosen to rest In
gutter, no extraneous tint would have
limited of his presence.
Not far from him was faucet over
a sink, and he went to 1t, but not for
the purpose Of altering his appear
ance. Lacking more stimulating
liquid, 1T was the inner man that
wanted water, and he set his mouth
to the faucet, drinking long. but not
joyously. Then he went out to the
sunshine Of that bright spring morn
ing, with the whole world before
him, and his the choice of what to do
with 1t.
He chose to walk toward the mid
die part Of the city, the center of
banking and trade, but he went
slowly, his eye wandering over the
pavement, and 10, before long, he
decided to smoke. He was near the
great building Of the railway station
at the time, and. lighting what was
now his cigarette (for he had q
match of his own), he leaned back
against q stone pilaster. smoked and
gaxed unfavorably upon the taxi
cabs in the open square hefore the
station.
As he stood thus, easing his weight
against the stone and musing, he
was hailed by an acquaintance, a tall
negro, unusually timber at the knees
and naively shabby in dress, but of
aimable expression and soothing man
ners.
How do. Mist Tuttle," he said
genialIy, in q light tenor voice. How

"wha'd they do? You take and look

home Monday night in a open car and
catched a bad cold"
That is sentences containing 19
wds. which you might as well of saved
your breath because when a person
asks how are you they don't never
Evening star., 1923-01-28

hear the answer unlest you are their
wife or husband or sweetheart and
then only for the 1st couple wks
Maybe some of you will think of the
old saying that talk is cheap and don't
cost nothing so what is the differents
how much a person says that amt
listened to.
WELL, friends, will say in reply
w that they's another old saying,
namely so and so is just wasting his
breath and that means that who ever
Is talking, why 1t don't do him no
good but just the same he is useing
up breath to talk with. And when
man dies they say he has breathed
his last.
So what claim is that II a person
is CAREFUL with their wds. and don't
say nothing unlest it means some
thing and somebody is listening to 1t,
why they will live whole lot longer
on acct. of haveing more breath left
to breathe with.
We read that Methuselah lived to
be several 100 yrs. old and everybody
thought he was a wonder, but they's
enough breath wasted in the smoking
rm. on a trip between N. Y. and
Washington or vice versa so that II
the owners of same had of held on
to it they would be in a position some
day to stop Methuselah on High street
and say what a pretty baby.
