HAKMETAK,
The London Times Office.
Mr.. Story, son OF one Of the prOpretors of the Ro
chester Democrat, writes to that paper an account o
his visit to the office of the London Times We copva
portion of this narrative:
One of the most interesting aud novel departments Of
the establishment is that in which the sereotypng n
cess is carried on. You know, perhaps, ALREADY that
every number of the Times is printed from STEREOTYPE
plates thus saving great part of the and tear Of
the type. The stereotype plate is taken from the
form " in three minutes, by new process invented
by Swiss and known only to him. A thin layer Of
soft and damp papier mache first receives the impression
of the type, and after has been hardened by the an
pcation of heat the melted lead is poured on which is
to form the stereotype plate. The papier macLe has
the power of resisting the action of the melted lead and
comes out of the fiery trial uniDured and almost IN
scOrched.
The plates are re-melted every day after the issue Of
the day is printed from them, and the of type
metal from day to day is very slight By this powcro
multiplying the number of forms from which the same
side of the paper be printed the Times can use three
four presses at onc9 and thus print its $4,000 copies
on emergency, in two hours time. The Times en-
ploys in its establishment some $50 persons 1t has
eighteen reporters at the Houses Of Parliament aud for
these, we'll the majority Of It's composOrs the
working hours the night hours exclusively. 1t owns
tour cabs, which employed solely in carrying report
and reports at night to and fro between Printing
House Square and the Palace at Westminster. The
reporters relieve each other at the Houses every quarter
hour and thus though the debate in the Commons lasts
till four o'clock III the morning. the Times gives it in
full by SUNRISE though it two whole pages of the
journal.

a capital OF six hundred dollars.
"The man that saves ten cents day only is much

in house worth six hundred dollars Every sixteen
years ten cents day becomes to six hundred dollars
and, If invested quarterly, does not take half that time
But ten cents day is chd's play, some will eXclaim.
Well then ohm Jacob Astor used to say that when
man, who wishes to be rich has saved ten thousand
dollars, he has won half the battle. Not that Asor
thought ten thousand dollars much But he knew that
