type setting and distributing machine
seems to overthrow That oft repeated pre-
diction.
The Thorne, of which an accurate illus
tration is given in the accompanying en-
craving, is the invention of Joseph
Thorne, from whom the machine and tho
company now engaged in its manufacture
wers named. The invention dates back to
1880, although the improvements which
the last eight years of menral and mechani-
cal labor upon it have effected have meta
mophorphsed the original that the pres
ent perfected machine scarcely resembles
the crude affair which first embodied the
inventors idea. AT various times the
Thorne has bccn exhibited and tested in
competition with other type-settmg 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 sub eCtcd to the severe test
which has leen applied to the ThoTn2. ono

office of Hartford Conn, daily paper

said TO have thoroughly demonstrated its
Tracticability, not only for general com
position but also for the sterner require
ments of daily newspaper work.
The TEorne type setting machine con-
sists of two iron cylinders about fifteen
inches in diameter, placed pcrrendicularly
one above the other, in the external sur
face of each of which are cut longttudin-

his letter reached Scotland, his wife had

left in charge of her three little sisters.
OF these, Ellen was but trilc over four
years of age; Jane Just past eight years,

King, aged fifteen years, but a boy quite
small for his years, was the only acqualnt-

A MARVELLOUS MACHINE.
THE THORSE CONTKIyANCE FOR

A Labor Saving Invention that Seems

ola Printing Onicc-A Description of the
Machine.
Whether or not type can be successfully
yet by machine, and whether the ma
chine can he adapted to the practical re-
quirements of printing Office, is ques
ton toward the solution of which tie eff
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 paraleed'ln type setting, in which
SO lGrgea proportion of the work is purely
mechanical. On the other hand those
practically familiar with the details of the
work of the composing room have cher
ished grave doubts whether a machine
could be devised and perfected
that would perform the work
Of setting type in such way as to make it
practicable to supersede the method OF
hand setting that has been in use ever
since the art of printing was invented.

in several languages. There were four
girls and one boy in the group, and they
had come all the way from little ham
let near Glasgow, Scotland, thus oddly
labeled. The tags told who they were,
where they were going, to whom they
were to be delivered in America, and also
certified that their fare had been paid to
the steamship company that forwarded
them.
The children were looking for the first
time at the wonders of the new country
into which they had been sent. Only one
or two of them were old enough to under
stand the change from their native land.
The camera secured a negative of the
interesting group, and it is reproduced
above.
The history of the little party is as fol-
lows: John Young, Il miner at Cool
Glen, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, is
the father of the girls, he came to this
country few years since from Scotland,
and left his wife and family there, to fol-

cylinder at each step to coincide with and

"IIcre are two specimens, said Major

They arc SlovacS, and come from the

Hungary, on the borders of the land of
Galicia, which is an Austrian possession.
These men speak the oldest language
known to exist to-day. The Slsvonic
tongue, with its eight or ten dialects, is
spoken by these men. We call them
Slovacs."
The immigrants referred to came for

the beck of Major Semsey. They
were clad IN Ioose-htting blouses of
homespun wooden cloth. They wore
fur caps of turban shape upon their
heads and were most peculiar looking

which raises them in succession into a long
setting stick at the upper enu OF an inclin-
ed channel or galley. In iustifying,
section of the composed line of type is
drawn to the mouth of the justifying stick,
and is justified with spaces taken from
case containing channels for the different
spaces and the hyphen, the lowest of which
are pushed partially out by electors
worked with treadle. The lines of type
when no longer re uirel for printing can
he inserted in the grooves of the diStribut
ing cylinder from n special ga ley by
means OF slide with which whole line
at a time is pushed lodiIy into groove.
Three persons are required to operate
/ each machine: one at the Keyboard q
second to break up and justify the lines,
and the third to keep the distributing cyl
inder 'loaded' and maintain u general
supervision. With expert help one ma
chine will set and distribute six thousand
ems per hour, or from five to six times as
much as the most rapid hand comrosltor.
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. Tho machines
are SO light running that a single horse
power is sufficient for half a dozen ma
chimes.
Considering tho purpose for which the
machine is intended, the construction Is
simple. and there appears to be no diili-
Guilty or hitch in the working. 1t should
lie remarked that hy 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 typesetting cylinder and to
the type litter. whilst tho other belt, by
means of n tightening pulley and ratchet
gear, produces tho step-by step-motion of
the distributing cylinder.
