Z YORK LETTER

tN-NiAA NpA tnNNHNltttA.
NEW YORK, October II. 1889.
With all the material progress.
which has been made in this age Of
lab~or-saying and wonderful devices,
| doubt if there is any other ma
chine which has been brought to
greater perfection than the printing
press. ! am led to this remark by
the fact that amost wonderful spec
linen OF the printing press has Just
been completed for one of the lead
ing plpers in this city. In order to
convey an idea Of its perfection and
superiority it may be proper to state,
for the benefit of those not in the
printing line, that all newspapers Of
large circulation are now printed
from stereotype plates on presses
which are fed by one continuous roll
Of paper. These presses are called
''perfccting' or "'web'' press. in
cOntradistinction to the slower ones.
which are called "cylinder." They
print both sides ofthe paper at once,
the web going over one set of plates
and under another set. They are
intended for rapid work rather than
fine. They are unified for print
ing illustrations except of a very
rough kind. The fine work, such
as 1T done on Hqrpsy's Ucetly or
Fraak; Les}ic's must be done from
copper-faced c~loctrotypes on cylin-
der presses. An ordinary "cylin-
der press viii print about 1900 or
1900 copies an hour {: q ''web" press
will print as many thousand in the
same lcngth Of time. This much
being understood, an idea can now
be given Of the superiority Of the
new press above referred to-. 1t is
fed from three rolls of paper all at
once, requires 43 plates (oach the
size Of a page and prints $50, 900
four-page papers an hour. Each
copy is cut, pasted and folded, and
The machine viii print a paper of
any size from 2 to As pages. 1t is %
feet long and 10 feet wide, and cost
the snug fortune of 300. 900.
The arrangements for holding the
Worlds Fair Of 1892 in this city are
taking more definite shape every dnv.
On last Thursday was hold The sec.
ond meeting OF the full General
Committee, and reports were recei-
we'd from the four subcommittee
appointed by Mayor Grant. The
Finance Committee recommends
that steps be taken immediately to
raise a preliminary fund Of $1,000
600, to be raised by subscriptions
for stock. The Legislative Com
mittee recommends that's s all plans
for an international exposition must
be sanctioned by Congress and the
Legislature, a petition be prepared
and presented TO Congress. setting
forth the plan as far as can be stated
and asking for a charter as an i'm
corporated body. The Site Com
mittoc reported as ! have mentioned
in % previous letter. and the Com
mittce on Permanent Organization
recommended Mayor Grant as
President, and the continuation OF
the present committees.
a unique memorial service was
held in Cooper Union last Thursday
evening, in memory Of the late Con
grcssman S. s.. Cox. The exercises

So. 50-Beefsteak.

We know it is a source of irritation
to our brethren of the Era and
Journal to be told about the two
dollars and fifty cents a day and
beefsteak three times a day, which
was promised the Irondale furnace
men under Harrison and Protection.
The latest intelligence from the
Beefsteak region is that what few
men were working in the ore bank
and coal mines are out on a strike.
We are charitable enough to think
the beefsteak was more than the
men could carry, with Protection
piled on, and they are taking a few
days rest, in order to give the Era
a chance to get off another exhilira-
ton on Irondale p~rospering under
Harrison and Protection.

A Dead Bird Flies,

Birds suffered much during the great
 blizzard of last March, and MT. Lewis
 Frser has a very readable article about it
 in the last St. Nicholas. Here is one of
 the incidents of the storm: Our neigh
 bor's housemaid, Annie, saw lying on a
 spot from which the snow had thawed, the
 wet, stiff body of 8 sparrow. There it lay
 on it's back in pool of water with eyes closed and legs cramped to it's body, hard, stark and cold. "Poor thingl" thought Annie, '1 must take you in and show you to little Miss Ruby" Suiting the action to
 the word, she picked up the dead bird and carried it into the kitchen. But it was wet and cold, and in that condition not fit for Miss Ruby's fingers. "Sure it will dry if I put it into the oven for few minutes, and when Mary, the nurse, comes down it will be nice and warrum," said Annie to Jane, the cook.
 So the bird was put in the oven of the range and the door left sjsr. The cook and the housemaid resumed their worK, the one preparing the luncheon, the other scrubbine the floor. Some minutes passed thus, when | suddenly and without any warning, out from the oven flew the apparently dead bird brought back to life by the warmth. "The saints defend us!" exclaimed Annie as the bird flew past her and dashed at the window panes. "Quick, open the door cook, and good riddance to it! When 6 ! dead bird flies it means no good luck to any. \ bodytD
