1t is one OF the marvels of the time. 1t
will further help the chespening of the
price of newspapers. His machine has
the capacity OF setting 40, 600 ems day i.
1t works with iron clad accuracy, and
avoids the fault of the present type
setting machine in that it can 'iustify'
the lines as compositor can now with
the hand method. No type is necessary
with this machine, beyond few
alphabets Of the various kinds and sizes
required in the makeup of newspaper
There is keyboard to the machine like
that of piano. These keys represent
letters and punctuation marks. Playing
on them impresses these forms into a
paper mstrix similar to that now
employed in moulding the metal form;
employed upon the Bullock press
Instead OF setting up type by the old
method and taking a matrix form thu

ACROSS THE WHEAT.
Maurice Thompson.

The wheat was flowing ankle-deep
Across the field from side to sioe;
Ana, dipping in the emerald waves,
The swallows few In circles wide.
The sun, moment tiaring red,
Shot level rays athwart the world,
Then qusnched his fire behind the hills,
With rosy vapors DER him curled.
A sweet insinuating calm
A calm just one remove from sleep,
such as tranquil watcher feels,
Seeing mild stars at midnight sweep
Through splendid purple deeps, and swing
Their old ripe clusters down the West
To where, ON undiscovered hills,
The gods have gathered them to rest
A calm like that hung over all
The dusky groves, and filtered through
lha thorny hedges, touched the wheat
1ill every blade was bright with dew
Was 1t a dream We CAL things dreams
When we must needs do 80, or own
Belief In old exploded myths,
Whose very smoke has long since flown
Was II dream Mipe own eyes saw,
And eres came across the wheat,
That, like bright water, dimpled round
The golden sandals of her feet?

High in the organ loft, with lilied hair,
Love piled the pedals with his snowy foot
Pouring forth music like the scout of fruit,
And stirring all the insense-laden air;
We knelt before the affairs gold rail where
The priest stood robed, with chalice and
pHlm-shoot.
With music men, who bore citole and lutte
Behind us, and the attendant virgins fair:
And so our red aurora flashed to gold,
Our dawn to sudden sun, and all the while
The high-voiced children trebled Gear and
cold,
The censer-boys went swinging down the
aisle,
And far above, with fingers strong and sure,
Love closed our lives triumphant overture
