OF Interest to Printers.

There is on exhibition in New York
an invention which proposes to do
away with movable types III printing.
There is but one type for each letter,
figure, or punctuation mark, and all
are cut on one cylindrical metallic
shell. The mechanism is operated by
a system of KEYS similar to that EN-
ployed in ordinary writing-machines.
The printing does not begin until the
KEYS for about fifty letters have been
touched, when a character at a time is
linked Immediately before its impress
sion on the paper. A unique feature
Of the invention is that the spacing out
and shortening Of the lines, known in
printers parlaDce as justification, IS
automatically accomplished by the
machine independent of any mental
effort Of the operator, and when the
work is done each line IS found to end
even with the others. To 'justlfy"a line
in using movable types, the composition
must, when it is nearly completed,
either put in thicker or thinner spaces.
The reproduction of the work done
on the machine now on exhibition is
accomplished by TYPOGRAPHY. The
work of composing on the machine is
done in less than a fourth of the time
required when movable types are
used, the ordinary speed being from
twenty to twenty-five words minute.
The cost of transferring to the stone is
said to be much less than that OF max
ing up forms for the press IN ordinary
printing, and rs movable types are not
used there is no distribution.
The machine has also been tested
with reference to its use for making
matrices for the casting of stereotype
plates. and the result shows that, with
certain notifications which are now
being made, it may be successfully
employed for that purpose.

Amelia Rives and John Mccullough

To those who know the derivation Of
the adage, Mad as March hare,' and
the kind of man John Mccullough
was, this little sketch by Nelly BLY,, in
the New York World will have some of
the peculiar and subtle interest found
IN Mrs. CHAMBERS famous novelties:
''In my travels through Virginia"
says the innocent and maidenly Nellie,
al met IA gentleman who has been a
lifelong friend of Amelie Riyes-Chan-
Ter. He told me bit of her life,
which is very interesting, Mr.. Ryes
is a civil engineer for the Panama
Canal, and Amelie is the pride OF The
family. They all bowed to her superior
genius, and she ruled the roost at
home. In some of her travels Amelie
Riyes saw John Mccullough and be-
came possessed of a passionate admira-
ton for him. She managed to be in
several towns whore he played, and at
last was rewarded by making his ac-
quaintance. 1t is said that closer
acquaintance famed her admiration
into a warmer regard, and at last John
Mccullough went to her Virginia
homestead to spend his vacation. If
you have read the book which made
her known to the public said my
fellow-trayeler, 'you can Judge what a
happy time they had He undoubtedly
admired her, and she more than adj
mired him. While he was there she
painted life-size oil portrait of him,
which is very artistic just after this
he became insane, and the shock to
Amele's peculiar temperament was
very severe. She became more &C.
centric than ever, and after his death
she decorated the bedstead in which he
had slept with full assortment of
angels. They said then that she
cherished everything that he had used,
even saving half-smoked cigar, and
locked herself for hours in the room
with his portrait. Then she wrote a
little play entitled, Mad as a March
Hare" and played the leading role in
it herself. She acted in Richmond and
donated the proceeds to a charity
fund
