PRINTING THE CENTURY
The First Web Press for Book
Work.

Web presses for newspapers are
common enough, but this press has
distinction as the first, and for three
years the only web press used in
this country for good book work. At
one end of the machine is great
roll of paper more than two miles
long when unwound, and weighing
about $50 pounds. As the paper
unwinds it passes first over jet of
steam which slightly dampens and
softens, but does not wet or sodden,
it's hard surface, and fits it for re-
ceiving Impressions 1t next passes
under plate cylinder on which are
thirty-two curved plates, linked by
seven large rollers, which print thir-
ty-two pages on one side. Then it
passes around a reversing cylinder
which presents the other side of the
paper to another plate cylinder, on
which are thirty-two plates which
print exactly on the back the proper
pages for the thirty-two previously
printed. This IS done quickl y-in
less than two seconds-but with ex-
aCtneSs.
But the web Of paper is still un-
cut To do this it is drawn upward
under a small cylinder containing a
concealed knife, which cuts the
printed web in stri ps two leaves wide
and four leaves long. AS soon as
cut the sheets are thrown forward on
endless belts of tape. An ingenious,
but undeteCtable mechanism givs to
every alternate sheet quicker
movement, so that it falls exactly
over its predecessor, making two
Tapped strips of papers. Busy little
adjusters now come in play, placing
these Tapped sheets of paper accu-
rately up to a head and side guide.
Without an instant of delay down
comes strong creasing blade over
the long center of the sheet, and
pushes it out of sight. Pulleys at
once seize the creased sheet and
press it fiat, in which shape it is hur-
ried forward to meet three circular
knives on one shaft which cut it
across in four equal pieces. Disap-
pearing an instant from view, it
comes out on the other side at the
upper end Of the tail of the press in
the form of four folded sections Of
eight pages each. Immediately af-
ter, at the lower end of the tail of
the press, out comes four entirely
different sections Of eight pages
each.
This duplicate delivery shows the
product of the press to be at every
revolution of the cylinders sixty-four
pages, neatly printed, truly cut, and
accurately registered and folded,
ready for the binder This web
press is not so fast as the web press
of daily newspapers, but it performs
more operations and does more &C
curate work. -Theo. L. De Winnie in

my leg, near the knee, that troubled
me for over two yeare. | tr ed va

of healing up, continued to grow
larger, and to cause me more pain

Through the advice Of friend, who
was cured of a similar trouble,

cured entirely. The sore healed up,

/" Well! Well ~

That's the way you feel after one or
two of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
have done their work. You feel
well, instead of bilious and consti-
pated; your sick headache, dizzi-
ness and indigestion are gone. It's
done mildly and easily, too. You
don't have to feel worse before you
feel better. That is the trouble
with the huge, old fashioned pill.
These are small, sugar-coated, cas-
lest to take. One little Pellets a
laxative, three to four are cathartic.
They regulate and cleanse the liver,
stomach and bowels quickly, but
thoroughly. They're the cheapest
pill, sold by druggists, because you
only pay for the good you get.
They're guaranteed to give salts
faction, every time, or your money
is returned. That's the peculiar
plan all DR.. Pierce's medicines are
sold on.

with nothing to disturb the feeling Of

waved their leafless branches and tho
stars twinkled benignly; below the river

stars was obscured by a lofty bluff,
around which the stream was forced to
make its way at an acute angle, and
here the watchful Jabe gave the signal
agreed upon, and the bark crept eau

accustomed to the darkness, were daz-

Pianos! ORGANS!

The improved method of fastening strings
of Pianos, invented by us, is one of the
most important improve ments ever made,
making the instrument more richly must
cal in tone, more durable and less liable to
get out of tune.
Both the Mason & Hamlin Organs and
Pianos excel chiefly in that which is the
ceief excellence in any musical instrument,
quality of tone. Other things, though i'm
portant, are much less SO than this. An
instrument with unmusieal tones cannot
be good. Illustrated catalogue of new
styles, introduced this season sent free.
