A SQUARE.
losses z

WHAT'S a square? Thisis a question
that has puzzled not only people discOn-
nected with the newspaper business,
but advertising agents and sometimes
editors themselves. One paper says six
lines is a square, another eight, another
ten, another twelve; and some charge
by the line. But a line in small type
may contain more words than two lines
in larger type; and a square therefore
is very indefinite. Eight lines in bre-
Vier type contains more than eight lines
in bourgeois type; and as different
newspaper Offices often use different
sizes of type in setting advertisements,
it would be impossible for them all to
have the same sized square If it consist
ed Of the same number of lines of diff
ferent sized type. Printers, or COM
p~ositors as they are technically called,
who work on daily papers in cities,
charge so much per thousand ems-an
EN- is the square of "the body of a type"
and of course the larger the type the
larger the EN-, and vice versa. Now
though a Thousand ems in large type
fill a larger space than the same num-
Der in small type, that space contains
no more matter or words; and by charg-
ing according tothe number of ems, the
price is the same whether small or large
type is used. 70 fix a certain and uni
form measure, the recent Press Conven-
ton at Baton Rouge adopted a square
containing a certain number of ems
three hundred and twelye-which every
paper, no matter what may be the size
of its type, will have no difficulty in
using. This square in the JOURNAL is
just one inch or twelve lines in nonpar-
ell type, the size usedin setting adveT-
tisements. One line contains twenty
six ems-sman square lead bloeks-and
there are twelve such lines to the
inch. Twelve times tWenty-six are
three hundred and twelve, the number
OF ems in q square. Plea type ia twice
the size Of nonpareil; and a line con.
tanning tWenty-six m snonpareil, would
contain but thirteen ems plea. Three
hundred aud twelve ems-the number
contained in an inch of nonpareil-di.
Vided by thirteen-the number Of ems
in q line of piea-wou1d give twenty,
four lines which, as plea is double thu
size Of nonpareii, would be four inches
An advertisement, theaef0ga, efoRe incl
in nonpareil, would be four inches i
set in plea.

ATTElrT no non AN EI.amA BANK.

AIIEMPI 10 AOH AN Gl4AAIhA BANk'
Mention has beenmade that an attempt to
EoR the Second National Bank Of Elmlra, on
z FElteg night last, was frustrated by one Of the
omcals. From the Gazette Of Saturday even
ing we gather the following particulars OF the
remarkable affair
dhe banh, had occasion to % into the vault,
and discovered that q quantity OF dust had
sltted down through a crack between the
plates covering the vault there was . cOnsld-
erable Quantity on the floor and upon the locks
ana bolts Of the vault door. Such an unusual
occurrence excited suspicion, and he at once
resolved to investigate Proceeding up stairs
ne N company with Charles Smith went to
the parior OF the r. M. =. A., which Is direct
~ over the vault, and finding DIR. Hart in,
made known their suspicious, and together
commenced making thorough investigation,
En ~ ia taking up the carpet they found the floor
IN the southeast corner OF the room had been
taKen up and carefully screwed down, the
boards having been cut off by boring with
small bit Upon taking up the boards sight
met their gaze which fairly staggered them,
and caused the greatest alarm and excitement.
The whole top of the arch, composed of solid
masonry, stOne-brick and cement had been ia
Ken out down to the railroad iron that covers
tue plates OF the vault. at least two or three
cart1Oads OF material had been removed. In
tnls cavity, large enough for two or three men
10 work. were found all the tools with which
the burglars had been at work; their Overalls,
two pair OF rubbers, sacks for carrying away
material, saws, braces, bits, chisels, mallet,
iron wedges wrapped1 In a paper and marked,
put not yet undOne, augers, drills Of all kinds
an immense iron brace, three or four falsO
Keys, jlmmies, an article with a screw. which
seems to be intended for lifting up the plates
OF the vault, having lip to 1t and heavy iron
head through which the screw passes there
was also small coil Of tarTed rope, eight
cans of very fine powder, and monkey
wrench. The tools were all finely made, and
must have cost considerable sum to get them
up.
At this point great mistake was made. In
stead of disturbing any of the tOsls or letting
anything regard dng It each the public ear, they
should have lett everything undisturbed, re-
placed the floor and carpet, kept away from II
entirely and with plans carefully mAtured
. the whole gang could have been secured whil'
engaged in their nefafi0uS business BY sons
means, however, the news reached the street
and was no longer secret the tools wert
consequently removed, and Mr.. Hill who haC
been called, had to trust to luck to secure th'
daring burglars, Dr. Hart has for two o.
three weeks noticed an unusual amount o
dust upon the furniture in the parlors Of tht
7 M. q. A., but could not account for It's ap
pearance. Two or three times he has notices
the table-clOth turned, but the furniture in th
room has always been found in the exact pos
ton in which it was left the night before. II
had noticed several staDgeTs who had beel
hanging around the reading-room, Ia the day
aud evening.
