SA5 printing Of the magazine ls de-
partInent by itself and is looked after
By q Specialist Ia the art. TheO. l. De
Wine. AT. De Niuns takes pride IN
printing and especial pride IN wood cut
printing. One Of the results Of his care
Is trsee4ble in the good impressions seen
In The Century cuts, which appear 70
stand out on the page. II he would open
his printing house. one OF the chief nov
elites would be the preparation OF the
presses for printing, and here, too, Is one
Of the marvels OF quick work, quick even
for monthly. A picture In black and
white has many shades varying from
very dark 20 light gray. vet al are made
BY black ink at one impression. How IS
this diversified result obtaineds
Mr. De Vinne has brought it 10 great
perfection by the development Of what
ell printers know as "overlays." placed
on the impression bed. which rolls over
the paper as it strikes the linked plate.
The ''overlAys," complete, constitute a
low relief in paper OF the engraving to
be printed. They are made by taking
proofs of the cut on different thicknesses
Of paper. and carefully cutting out all
portions where the relief is strong enough
and leaving those where extra pressure
is needed. From three 10 six overlays
are used. and, after pasting together the
set TO Il used on cut. they are adjusted
on the impression cylinder so as 10 meet
the cut line for line during the printing
and distribute the pressure Just as need
ed. With hundreds of pictures To print
for The Century each month, this deli

II Editor Glider, Of The Century,
should look after the art work and print
ing as carefully as he does 10 the brill
fancy and grace Of thought and style in
his magazine, who would envy him his
position?

importuning contributors and that last
poem on the season which he declined
with thanks for the favor Of reading it."
