SOME FACTS OF INTEREST ABOUT THE
GREAT ENGLISH NEWSPAPER.
(FrOAa the st. Thomas Times.)
A letter to the Philadelphia Times
gives the following interesting parti-
culars about its great London name
sake Let me enumerate some of
the most important points illustrative
of the scope of the Times:
First-Manufactu'es own presses.
Second-Founds it's own type.
Third-Provides it's own light
electric.
Fourth-Feeds its employees on
the spot.
Fifth-Has its own electrOtyping
shop.
Sixth-Has its own telegraphic SER
vice and wires-in the main; and
Seventh-Repair shops for all these
different machineries.
All these great shops and offices
are under one roof, and the cluster of
them, with the other ordinary depart
ments of a newspaper ofice-editori-
al, composing, proof, stereotyping,
making up, press, business, advertis-
ing and distributing rooms-forms the
Times building.
In the press-room of the paper
stand eight presses; six go every
night and two stand by as a reserve
brigade. Each press prints a whole
copy of the Times, both sides, sixteen
pages, and at the rate of $4,000 per
hour. Three presses are ranged in
three columns in an immense room on
the first floor Of the building, the enor-
nous weight supported by arches.
The paper-room, another large space,
is just below tho press-room, thepaper
being hoisted up by a lift american
elevator)into the press-room. In the
, 1880-07-31

The canteen consists OF q fine, large
kitchen and two dining rooms. Food
is supplied at cost rates to the men
" everything except beer, on which
is charged a little profit, which v
the canteen always ron loss, n
the margin of profit, whatever it may
be, is always turned into an M
ployees' relief fund which we have
it was explained to me:
That is very excellent !; but we
do not call beer TODD in America"
The canteen is a very good and
saving institution. It supplies a kind
of cheap club to the men, but there
could be no better illustration of the
difference of habits and on
the liquor question between the two
countries. Here was a careful and
conscientious employer furnishing IL
quort to his force-and, more than that,
long rows of bright, FURNISHED pewter
ale-mugs, each with The Times"
proudly engraved on its beaming
face, greeted my vision as n OF the
embellishments of the canteen. The
electrotyping shop is a well appoint
edroom, equipped with all the modern
appliances of the trade, where are
made the plates for the weather dia-
grams of the Times, and also maps,
charts, ect. SO we'll is this shop per-
fected THAI a moderate-sized plate a
be turned out in a few minutes.
Practical newspaper managers will re-
cognize the economy and desirable
ness of this attachment.
The Times has its own wires over
much of England and most of the
continent, and its own service OF
them by accomplished correspondents
men of ability and influence. 1t
uses Reuter- (the associated press of
Europe), but only partially, and, as
an incident; its page or more OF tele-
graphic news being generally exclu-
sively its own, and Reuter- news COM
ing in only in a supplementary way
1t is a common expression among
newspaper men in our country that
we only use the telegraph largely.
I think that the special telegraph SER
vice of the Times exceeds that of any
American newspaper, saving, possibly
the New York Herald. 1t does not
strike the popular and uneduoated
