Erie Beals, of Muskegon, Michigan, has
invented new type-setting machine,
which is said to be more rapid than the
other machines, and yet practical. He
visited Chicago, and found nothing there
among the type-setting. exhibit similar
in principle. He has secured ample
financial backing in Detroit to put the
machine in operation before the public.
The invention consists Of two separate
machines, and will supplant, it is said,
twenty compositors at the case. The first
of the machines corresponds to the type
writer, and is operated by a composition
who works from the copy; but this, in
stead of being printed, as by the type
writer, is transferred to strip OF paper
by perforations made by striking the
keys on the fnger-board, the particular
letter or character being determined by
the distance of perforation from the base
line. This machine may be called per-
forator, and when copy has been thus
transferred to the strip of paper this is
taken to second machine, which, work.
ing automatically by electricity, sets up
the type, and as each line is composed,
impresses it into matrix paper in new
way that makes perfect mould or ma
trix of the line. The matrix paper moves
along automatically as the lines are COM
posed until the matrix is obtained for
column Of matter. This is then ready
for the stereotyping process, The quick
fixing of the face Of the type in the ma
trix paper Mr.. Beals recognizes as one Of
the greatest obstacles, and at the same
time the most important and desirable
feature of the machine, and he claims to
have labored much over this point. His
success in this particular is accomplished
by an entirely new method as to the APP
plication of heat that fixes the finest lines
of the type faces as clearly as does the
metal matrix.
By the action of electricity on series
Of magnets the types are brought into
their proper places. A series OF needles
passes over the perforated stripe of paper,
and whenever the needle drops into one
Of the holes made by the perforator, the
electric current thus closed, actuates the
magnet corresponding to the particular
letter OF that perfoiation. The action Of
the machine is entirely automatic, and
is also very rapid. The perforator can be
operated as rapidly as typewriter, but
the automatic aligning and impressing
machine will be capable Of handling mat
ter turned off from two or three OF the
periorators. Experts in Detroit who
have examined CHS machine are con-
fident that it is practical.

LONDON, Dec. "a theater IN Gates
head, County Durham, was last night
the scene of a frightful panic, in which,
according to reports received, at least ten
people were killed outright and many in
cured. The sight OLA small blaze caused
by man in the audience dropping a
lighted match on the sawdust-covered
floor, caused someone to start the cry of
ire" Immediately there was a wild
rush for the doors, which, owing to the
savage rush, became so blocked that only
a few succeeded in get out. The stair
case leading from the gallery also became
blocked. A check-taker who attempted
TO restrain the crowd was crushed to
death under foot.
When the panic subsidized, the bodies of
nine children, whose lives had been liter
ally crushed out, were found lying on the
staircase. A Constable who came to as

a body wedged among the struggling
people, discovered that it was the body Of

The occasion was made doubly mem

from the gallery ratings to the balcony

took place last night between CARA
