Perkins, in London,by which much more

while only one half of the usual quantity
Of fuel was Consumed. An awkward cons
p ositor, wishing probably to save the
oVerrunDiDg OF line, took the liberty Of
converting the numerical words into
figures thus, 1a-thus is the fact revers-
ing the sense, y representing the neccssa-
ry quantity Of fuel as one and a haftimcs
as great as formerly-instead Of being
only one half as great.-Compositors,
