Mistakes in Newspapers.
The Poughkeepsie Eagle in an article
on GLOW Mistakes Ha ppen in Newspa-
pers," figures the number of type used
in newspaper the size of the Eagle at
GOO, 900; that is the actual number Of
bits of metal arranged for each newspa
per in preparing a newspaper Of tina,
size for the press. We suppose few peo-
pie think of the printing trade as one OF
the most exact and particular handicrafts;
but it is. In making type, variations
that might be allowed in the finest ma
clIinery would render type useless. 1t
is very rarely that type furnished bv two
separate found tries can be used togeth-
er without great deal of trouble, even
Though they should try to ma Ike it after
the standard. We read once in while
of wonderful piece Of cabinet or mosa-
ic work containing 10, 20, or 5000
pieces, the maker of which has spent
months or even years of labor i'll pro-
ducing 1t; and the people go to see 1t as
curiosity. But the most elaborate and
carefully fitted piece OF work ofthis kind
ever made does not compare for minute
ness Of detail and accuracy of fitting,
with that which the printer does every
dav The man who does the first IS
looked upon as marvel of skill. and If
a hundred of his pieces are put in wrong
side up or tnrred around, it is not no.
ticed in the general effect; but ifa printer.
in fitting ten times as many pieces to-
eether in single day, puts one the
wrong way, everybody sees it and Is
amazed at the 'stupid carelessness OF
those printers"
