his son, but in each of the three subsequent
generations it has been strongly marked. some

THE PROCESS
The matter that comes from the stenorraphi c
reporters at the Capitol, after it reaches the
printing Office, makes its way gradually from
the desk OF the assistant foreman down the GEN.
ter OF the room until finally, the forms are
wheeled out of the west end of the room on
trucks and lowered to the press room. If one
piece Of copy, or take" is followed in its pro-
greSs through the Office, the whole system can
be seen. The takes average about 700 ems each
30 far as the matter can be evenly distributed
When the printer has set his take he carries it
in his composing stick to table on which
large number of galleys are set and gives the
number Of his take" and his ''slug" to man
in attendance there. This man, who is provided
with the record made by the assistant fore
man. when he gave out the copy, has the
typo dump his type on the proper galley, and
taking the copy, places it in sort of pigeon
hole.numbered to correspond with the number
OF the galley The advantage Of giving out the
copy in short takes is soon made manifest, for
It Is not long after the copy is given out before
the first galley is filed up, SO that proofs can
be taken and read, ahd all of the different
departments Of the Office called into active
operation. SO as to hasten the matter on its
journey towards the west end Of the Office The
floor man who attends to these galleys and the
copy has to keep separate the reports of the
two houses. There are two streams Of type.
one from the House report, and the other hom
the Senate report pouring in upon him con-
stantly.
THE PROOF READERS.
When the "take " has been dumped, together
with other takes. proof is taken from it, and
this. with the corresponding copy is taken into
the proof readers room or enclosure This is a
good-sized apartment, having tables and shaded
lights arranged along the sides. Here are five
proof readers who read by copy-that is, read
the proof aloud and make corrections while
copy holder reads the manuscript with view of
detecting any errors made by the cOmpositor
After the proof has been read by one of these
men it is passed over to one Of the silent read
ers. of whom there are four, and who read for
the purpose Of discovering errors of sense.
and incidentally to catch any Topographic
Cal error that the first proof reader
may have overlooked. When the silent reader
has finished his work the proof IL sent out 30

LIGHTNING.

Last evening during the storm which
visited this locality the lightning struck
the depot of the c. NJ. & st. P.
at Hampton and completely destroyed the
edifice.
At the time of the fire, the employees
of the road were at home, and they were
first appraised of the fact by discovering the
structure in flames
Efforts were made to extinguish the
fire, but without effect, as the flames had
gained such Roadway before discovery,
that it was found impossible to check them.
The building was burned to the ground.
The loss viii not exceed $500 and it is
thought that no insurance was carried.
