! NEwsrArERs. -ln 1898, Mr.. Adrian
Balbi announced, as the result of his re-
searches, that the number Of newspa pers
published in the world was 1853. or which
number 2l42 were in Europe; 978 in Anne.
RIGA; 81 in Asia; 12 in Africa, and 8 il
Oceanica--l37S belonged to the English
race In the United States, with popula-
ton Of 100000, there was over 500. In
Great Britain, where the population was
100000, there was only 5sS, and in
Spain there were but l6 newspapers.
In Pekin, China, newspaper Of extraor-
d'naly size is published weekly on silk. II
is claimed to have been in existence more
than 1000 years 1t is said that, in 1927,
public officer caused some false intelli-
gence to be inserted in this newspaper, for
which he was put to death Several num-
bers of,this paper are preserved in the roy
al library of Paris, which are 10. yards
long!
The Portland Courier of the 18th June,
1923, had the following curious notice TO
their subscribers C Those who intend 10
pay their subscription to this paper in OLD
IRON, must bring il along before the first Of
July !"
= The Royal Printing Office Of Paris con
tains 56 fonts of Oriental charac ters, com
prising all the well known alphabets Of Asia,
ancient as well as modern, and l6 aIphabets
of European nations, which do not employ
Roman characters, and of these latter, the
establishment possesses as different fonts
complete, Of various forms and sizes. All
together weigh at least s28, 900 lbs. They.
consume daily $4,000 to 100000 reams of

There are nine newspapers published in
Van Dieman.'s Land, and in New South
Wales. r.l M.
The eBradford Settler'e was the frs,
newspaper west Of the Alleghanies-it was
commenced in 1903 The Oldest existing
newspaper in that region as stated in pre-
vious number) is the Pittsburg Gazette,
which, ] am happy to add, has been enlarg-
ed and improved since ] spoke Of it the las,
time.
The last few years has witnessed great
change IN the materials used for ne wspapers;
for instance, the New York Times, which
was commenced,in 1926, and died the fol-
lowing year, was at that time thought to be
a very handsome paper in its outward ap-
pearance, but it was as far inferior to the
''Daily Times"-a newspaper with which
the Gazette is acquainted--as darkness is
inferior to light Indeed, think Imay saw
without fear of contradiction, that il is one
