Where Mechanical Type. Setting
Fails

James f. Munson, the well.known
New York stenographer, has patented
aud perfected an electric type-setting
machine A strip of paper which is
first peri Grated in machine with u
Ike, board similar to that on type
writer, is run through the tvpe-setting
machine, and whenever a sharp point
ed armature strikes through one of
the perforntions it releases type.
The task of justfying the lines falls
TO the maker of the perforated strips,
or an assistant who carefully measures
them and adds perforatiOns with a
hand punch.
There are machines now in use which
set up type-quitc rapidly aud with ac-
curacy. but Iney all fail to justify the
lines-all except the com bined setter
and stercotyper-and the types have
to be handled by printers who do the
spacing between the words. This
operation demands thought and the
exercise of Judgment; aud rs no ma.
chine can bs endowed with mental
power all efforts to set type 10y ma
chinery are likely to fail at this point.
Mr.. Munson' machine gives the opera
tor OF the perforating machine the
duty of justification. and obviates tho
handling of the types after they leave
the machine 1t does not simplify the
work.. simply transfers duty.
The machine. t is claimed, will set
5000 EN- an hour against the 1,000 OF
the average printer; but when it is in
rap d operation it will require the at
tendance of a perforator and a justilier,
and therefore much of its rapidly will
be offset by the wages of these opera
tors. --AtkUuutee IPIScOnttn.

The Wonderful Record OF Faithful
sergeont Icrkins-No Vacation
Since the War.
A case recently reported in the Army
and Navy Journal of remarkable re.
cord for soldier, one Commissary
Sergeant G. w. Perkins, U. S. A., has
not unnaturally provoked inquiry as
TO what soldier in the service has the
best record for continuous service. and
SOME curious people have been search
ing the records. One case of which
the MSH and Express reporter learned
yesterday Mt the Army Building in this
city. is certainly noteworthy and so
far as known leads the record.
Comm ssary Sergeant Alfred Gala
coils, of Fort Buford, has served
twenty-one years in the regular army
without losing a days duty by being
on the sick list or on furlough. He
never had court-martial, even what
Is called garrison court-martial. He
was over fourteen years in Battery G.,
Fourth artillery, and seven years as
commssary sergeant. He had four
mouths furlough granted in 1865, but
did not take advantage of it, as trou'
bic broke out W tn the Indians and he
remained with his battery to do active
work
He also served as volunteer in the
war of the rebellion aud was a prison
er in Richmond.

BLIND BY CHE WING.
The Dreadful Deleterious Effe cts OF
the Gum Habit on Girls.

the Gum Habit on Girls.
A Pittsburgh Dispatch reporter had
chat with j. Diamond. the Sixth
street optician. day or two ago,
which puts new phase on the effects
of the gum-chewing craze that has
spread from one end of the land TO the
other; and it is doubtful if as many OF
the bellies and followers of the habit
will continue their chewing after they
learn of one of its most injurious eff
fects. Mr.. Diamond said:
docs gum chewing hurt the eyes?
Most certainly it does, and that Is ono
ard denounce it. Not only myself.
but every scientific optician will tell
you the same thing. And it is this,
with its attendant injurious effects,
that makes the habit so repulsiye.
''Only yesterday | had for treatment
the case of lady who came after eye
glasses. and l thought it was strange
her eyes were in such bad shape, UNI
less there was some other cause than
mere failure on account of age. and it
couldn't be on that account, because
she was just in the vigor OF life, and
very handsome. So L knew there
must be some other cause. i question
ed her about her habits of living, and
discovered that she had chewed gum
from the time she was old enough to
know what it was. Here was the
cause without any further looking.
Why. she had to take the highest pow
er of glasses l had. and her sight W as
as bad rs though she were eighty.
The eve and the optic nerve are the
most delicate organs we possess. aud
they can't be abused with impunity.
The constant chewing of gum effects
the nerves that lead from the spine to
the optic nerves. and strains the latter
until they are weak and give out.
lit is the same. to degree, with to.
bacco- users; but gum chewing is worse,
as Is victims chew more constantly,
and so keep up more irritation.
IL constantly have cases that are
caused bv this same habit. Many
young ladies who continue the habit
feel its effects, and have II good many
cases lately of very young girls with
poor sight and weak eyes that,as ! find
b. the use of my instruments and from
inquiry INTO the habits of the sufferers,
arise from no other habit than that of
gum-chewing. If you will notice, gum
chewers do not have the brilliancy in
their eyes. the vivcacious and full-of-
life look; their physiognomy looks palc
and unhealthy.
''lf this habit is kept up rs a craze.
Of course tho effect on the eyes will be
more ev dent still. as there will be
more cases.

and disclose its injurious effects. thew
