PAPERS AN HOUR.

I,oSpoS, July 3l.-For fifteen Years
Mr. Hoe and Mr.. Conquest, the London
manager OF MI. Hoes works. have been
sndeayoring to perfect Perfectine
printing Machine. and they have at
is,t succeeded. The last difficulty which
s,ood in their way-the perfect delivery
II the printed sheets from the press.
was only recently surmounted Now
their machine, in their belief, is perfect
and that it is perfect also in the opinion
of others may be judged by the fact that
,be proprietors of the Daily Telegraph
today decided to have ten of these new
machines Immediately constructed for
them. and to have them placed in the
new offices which they are about to erect
in the rear of the present premises. The
ten machines can be constructed in about
ten months, and in year from this
time the Daily Telegraph, with its "larg-
est circulation in the world" will be
printed upon presses each one of which
will be capable OF delivering q, 900 com.
plete sheets per hour Does not that
take your breath away?
This new press seems to be an i'm.
provement upon the Walter, the Bullock,
the Marronetti, and all the other perfect.
inc machines in existence. One of its
pecuiarities is the width of its cylinders
for they are so wide that each cylinder
will print two copies at oncs-the roll of
paper being made double width, and the
paper being cut in two by very ingen-
ious device, Immediately before it is de-
livered. Another popularity is the per-
feet manner in which the perfected sheets
are delivered-they are all laid down in
piles so accurately that one would think
the sheets had been put into a press and
trimmed. The Walter press-on which
the Times and Scotsman are printed
cOmpels the pressman to- change the
blankets once in each two hours-this
needs no such change. The whole force
necessary to each of these presses is two
men and a boy-with them $4,000 per-
feet copies are printed in one hour; and
the saving of wages as between this and
the ordinary ten-cylinder Hoe, is as Is is

The only one of these presses now
complete has been built for Lloyd's
weekly newspaper; and to-day at Lloyd's
paper mills at Bow its performances
we're witnessed by a number Of expert
enced newspaper people, among them
the proprietor and engineer Of the Daily
Telegraph establishment. The press did
the work it was engaged to do; it printed
22,OO0 copies of Lloyd's paper in sixty
minutes, and never was there better
printing The cost of the press is f3,-
500; the ten ordered by the Daily Tele-
graph will cost f35, 900; and the engines
and other machinery for them will bring
the sum up to $780, 900 in gold. The
present establishment of the Daily Tele-
graph is about as perfect as need be; but
it is all to be thrown aside for these new
presses, which, although costing so
much, will, in the opinion Of the owners
of the paper, save them $4,000 year,
besides the advantage of enabling them
to go to press at o'clock in the morn
ing, instead Of at IL NJ. In word, if
this new machine really proves to be
what it seems, it will become necessity
to every great newspaper establishment
