inder the types are automatically sorted,
so that each channel Of the stationary
cylinder contains only types Of the same
kind.
Composing is effected from a key-b GARD
like that of a typewriter on a somewhat
larger scale. By the depression Of any
key, through an arrangement of levers
and rods, the lowest type in the CORES
pOnding groove Of the cylinder is pushed
radially Outwards on a very rapidly re-
voiving disc, which carries it to an OPEN
ing in the stationary guard surrounding
the disc and delivers it upon a moving
belt, on which the types are carried in
their proper order to a revolving litter
which raises them in succession into a long
setting stick at the upper end of an inclin-
ed channel or galley. In justifying, a
section Of the composed line Of type is
drawn to the mouth Of the justifying stick,
and is justified with spaces taken from a
case containing channels for the different
spaces and the byphen, the lowest OF which
are pushed partially out by electors
worked with q trsadle. The lines of type
when no longer required for printing can
be inserted in the grooves Of the disTibut-
ing cylinder from q special galley by
means Of 3 slide with which whole line
at a time is pushed bodily into a groove.
Three persons are required to operate
each machine: one at the keyboard, a
second to break up and justify the lines,
and the third to keep the distributing cyl
inder 'loaded'' and maintain a general
supervision. With expert help one ma
chine viii set and distribute six thousand
ems per hour, or from i've to six times as
much as the most rapid hand composItOr.
The work is not particularly laboriOUs, and
il is found by experience that intelligent
girls are fully as well adapted as men to
become efficient operators The machines
are so light running that a single horse
power is sufficient for half a dozen ma
chimes.
Considering the purpose for which the
machine is intended, the construction Is
simple. and there appears to be no Diff
Guilty or hitch in the working. It should
be remarked that by manipulating the
keys IN one direction only, several keys
may be touched simultaneously, without
risk Of the characters becoming transposed;
in working the opposite way each key
must be touched separately. The machine
is driven from a shaft by two small belts.
One belt transmits motion to the revolving
disc below the typess5ting cylinder and TO
the type litter. whilst the other belt, by
means Of a tightening pulley and ratchet
gear, produces the step-by step-Inotion Of
the distributing cylinder.

to adapt the machine to its performance.
Meanwhile invention and improvement has
progressed with great strides ia other
branches and departments Of the printers
art, so that while the art as a whole has
reached marvellous stage OF development
and achievement, the operation of type
setting has remained in a primitive
state.
Numerous as have been the attempts to set
and distribute types by machinery, it must
be confessed that, up to the present, there
has not been one machine which has OBJ
tanned general favor, or which has an
swered the expectations held out. Gener-
ally, the machines have been delicate and
complicated, and the results so very uncer-
tain, indeed, that no newspaper proprietor
would rely solely upon them in case of Ur-
gency. These repeated failures have led
cOmpositors, and employers too, to venture
the prediction that until a machine could
be endowed with brains the cOmpositOr
would be indispensable. But recently the

A MARVELLOUS MACHINE.
THE TH0RHE COETIaEv A1ycE FOR
SETTING TYPE

A Lab0r-saving Invention that Seems
Adapted to the Practical Requirements
of Printing Offics-A Description Of the
Machine.
Whether or not type can be successfully
set by q machine and whether the ma
chine can Ds adopted to the practical re-
qUirements Of a printing Office, is a Ques-
tion toward the solution Of which the sf-
forts of inventive genius have been con
tinuOusly directed for many years. From
one point of view 1t may be regarded as
strange that the wonderful results that
have been reached IN other directions in
the production Of machines capable Of
performing the most complicated opera
tions with almost human intelligence and
more than human precision, have not been
sooner paralleled IN type setting, in which
so largea proportion of the work is purely
mechanical. On the other hand those
practically familiar with the details of the
work Of the com posing room have cher
ished grave doubts whether a machine
could be devised and perfected
that would perform the work
Of setting type in such a way as to make it
practicable to guperseds the method of
hand setting that has been in use ever
since the art of printing was. invented.
Difficulties have been encountered which
have not met the inventor in any other
field, aad the operation Of putting the
types in place, 50 simple in appearance
when done by hand, becomes involved in
countless complications when it is sought

seems to overthrow that Oft repeated pre-
dicbiOn.
The Thorne, of which an accurate Illus
tratiOn is given in the accompanying en-
craving, is the invention OF Joseph
Thorue, from whom she machine and the
company now engaged in its manufacture
Vers named. The invention dates back to
1880, although the improvements which
the last eight years Of mental and mechanl-
caIlabor upon it have effected have so meta
nophorphsed the original that the pres
ent perfected machine scarcely resembles
The crude affair which first embodied the
Inventors idea. At various times the
Thorna has been exhibited and tested In
com petition with other typs-settIug ma
chimes in Europe and America, with re-
suits most decidedly IN its favor. 1t IS
doubtful, however, If any other machine
has ever been subjected to the severe test

CALIFORNIA engineers have accom-
plished the difficult task of lifting the
Feather River, fast-fowing stream,
fifty feet and carrying it for more than
half a mile in an artificial bed at that
height above its old channel. It has
been accomplished in little less than
a year. The object was to drain the
river near OrovilIe in order to reach
the very rich gold depasits believed to
exist in its bed. The promoters Of the
great enterprise are chiefly English
men.
