THE HARTFORD
Hedge and Wire Fence Co.
A Properly Planted and Cared-fOr
Hedge is the Cheapest, Best and Pref
tiest Fence in the World.

We claim the following advantages for our
Hedge: 1t is the cheapest fence made. 1t is the
most lasting. Winds do not blow it down.
Floods do not wash it away. 1t does not decay.
Stock cannot rub it down. 1t protects itself. 1t
stops sheep dogs and trespassers. 1t takes but
little room. You can cultivate close to it. 1t
lasts for generations. No new material needed
for repairs. 1t is ornamental to the farm. 1t is
mule high, bull strong and pig tight.
The farmer prepares the ground and works the
plants as he would corn. We do the rest and
guarantee good fence, keeping it in order for
you afterwards at trifling cost.
Usage Orange Hedge Fences are no expert
ment. There are many hedges in Pennsylvania
and Maryland which were planted rs years ago
and show no signs of decay. Figure up the
cost of post and rail fence estimating its dura-
ton, and contrast it with the prettier and more
durable fence we will give you. at only SLIPS a
rod and you will readily see which is the cheap
er. The easy terms of payment we offer are an
other great advantage. Twenty-Five cents per
Rod at the time of setting the plants, 25 cents
per Rod when re-settng is done in 1891, 25 cents
per Rod when re-setting or side-trimming is
done in 1892, and SO cents per Rod when and in
proportion as the FLASHING is done. For cir

Ventilation as a Preventive of Explosion

Ventilation as Preventive of Explosions
The excellent results attained by Pro
fessor Barrett, the electrician of the
electrical department of the city of Chi
cago, in the prevention of explosions in
the subways of that city by the adoption
of system of thorough ventilation
have been commended by New York
paper to the board of electrical control.
which from time to time has been much
exercised with the frequent explosions
that have taken place in the subways
on Broadway and elsewhere.
1t is shown that the ventilation of the
down town subways through the city
hall chimney is perfect, and that the
electric light posts furnish sufficient
ventilation at other points It is also
urged that the city of New York can
derive much benefit by taking heed to
the example of Chicago, which has or
dered the electric light, telephone and
telegraph companies to ventilate their
subways in order to prevent explosions.

PRINTING ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINES.
The First Web Press for Book Work
and It's Intricate Mechanism.

The First Web Press for Book worl
and Its Intricate Mechanism.
Web presses for newspapers are com
mon enough, but this press has dis
tinction as the first, and for three years
the only, web press used In this coun
try for good book work. At one end
of the machine is great roll of paper
more than two miles long when un
wound, and weighing about 75C
pounds. As the paper unwinds it pass
es first over Jet of steam which slight
ly dampens and sottens, but does not
wet or sodden, its hard surface, and
fits 1t for receiving impressions. It next
passes under plate cylinder on which
are thirty-two curved plates, mixed by
seven large rollers, which print thirty.
two pages on one side. Then It passes
around reversing cylinder which pre-
sents the other side Of the paper to an.
other plate cylinder, on which are thir-
ty-two plates which print exactly on
the back of the proper pages for the
thirty previously printed. This is
done quickly-in less than two seconds
but with exactness.
But the web of paper is still uncut
To do this it is drawn upward under a
small cylinder containing q concealed
knife, which cuts the printed web in
strips 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 gives to every alternate
sheet quicker movement, so that it
falls exactly over it's predecessor, max.
ing two Tapped strips of paper. Busy
little adjusters now come in play, plac-
ing 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 hurried forward to meet
three circular knives on one shaft,
which cut it across in four equal pieces.
Disappearing an instant from view, it
comes out on the other side at the up
per end of the tail of the press in the
form of four folded sections of eight
pages each. Immediately after, at the
lower end of the tail of the press, out
come four entirely different sections of
eight pages each.
This duplicate delivery shows the
product of the press to be at every rev.
olution of the cylinders sixty-four
pages, neatly printed, truly cut and &C
curately registered and folded, ready
for the binder. This web press is not
SO fast as the web press of daily news
papers, but it performs more operations
and does more accurate work.-Theo.
