Printing Shops at Sea.

Very few persons outside the ship
ping business are aware that there are
now more than dozen ocean-going
steamships with printing department
on board. They are fully equipped,
and can turn out anything in the print
ing line, with the possible exception of
highly colored Autograph or gilt-edge
playing card. The City of Paris and
the City of New York of the Inman
line, the Teutonic and the Majestic Of
the White Star line, and number Of
craft in the North German Lloyd feet
have large space set aside for the use
of the printers.
On every trip of the City of Paris
newspaper is printed at sea. 1t is
newsy and breezy, and smells of Old
Neptune as much as South Sea
whaler does. It is four-page sheet
of the color of old parchment, and
everything of any note that occurs
during the passage from port to port
is faithfully recorded. The passengers
and officers supply the "copy." Every
thing is contributed free. There are
poems by women passengers, fairy
tales of the sea, written by landsmen,
and records of this or that concert held
on board or incidents of the dinner
table.
Turning out this newspaper is not
the only thing that keeps the printing
Office of the Paris busy. An abstract Of
the ships log has to be made, giving
the dates, directions Of wind, dis
tances, and courses travelled, position
of vessel by latitude and longitude at
+l1 90 Nd kIo
eral remarks as to the condition of
sky, air, and sea. Several thousand of
these have to be prepared and deliv
cred to the mail steamboat on the ar
rival of the steamship at each port. AS
the mail boat always reaches the COM
pany's pier in advance of the printing
department, the abstract of log is gen
orally at the companys Office down
town for newspaper reporters before
the steamship reaches her dock. All
this printing is free of charge to the
passengers, the steamship company
meeting the expense.
So popular has this printing shop
become aboard ship that 'plants" have
been placed aboard other than regular
liners. There is an AL shop aboard
the United States man-of-war Chicago,
the flagship Of the Squadron of Evou
ton. On recent cruise OF the White
Squadron this "plant" was used in
printing a sheet called the Chicago
Bulletin, besides doing other official
service for the officers of the fleet
Nine numbers were printed during the
cruise, the last at Norfolk, Va, on
May %. In the publication were
printed articles on "Hayti as Nation, -
"Our Naval Cadets" "Is Jack a
Grumbler?" "Our National Flag, u
and Squadron Target Practice. -
The late Rear Admiral Geo. F. Preble.
Rear Admiral Thomas H. Stevens and
the late Commander w. +. Spicer also
contributed three clever poems to the
sheet. The officers and crew of the
feet say they could not get along with
out the Bulletin now.

Brussels and Tapestry.

Brussels and tapestry carpets are so
similar in appearance that they might
readily be regarded, on q casual con-
sideration, as fabrics of the same
structure. But when the principles
on which the pattern is obtained in the
respective articles are examined it is
at once evident that there is practi-
cally no actual resemblance; for while
in the brussels the design is purely q
woven effect, in the tapestry it is
merely print, says the Upholsterer.
The weaving Of brussels affords
some characteristic features for inyes-
tigation. The pile warp, for instance,
instead Of running off ordinary yarn
beams, is wound on bobbins or NINA
ture beams, fixed in frames or huge
creel stationed behind the loom. Each
color requires what is technically called
a separate frame.
A fve-frame brussels is q carpet
with this number of colors succeeding
each other in the same line of fabric.
The manner in which the various col
ors are controlled-in other words, in
which they are concealed from or
brought into views an important
factor in the manufacture of this arti-
Gle. On examining brussels carpet.
it will be observed that the individual
threads forming the pile seem either
to be composed of several colors or to
be substituted by yarns of other
shades, according to the section of the
pattern being formed. For inst ance,
in the same line of the design, looking
at the fabric lengthwise, apparently in
the same thread, as many as from three
to five colors, such as black, green,
drab, scarlet, and blue. form the pile
in succession. If these effects are not
due to variegated yarn, they result
from the employment of five distinct
threads, each of which is so controlled
that it only appears in the pile when
assisting to develop the design.
To obtain three-frame pattern
composed, say, Of black. scarlet, and
olive, at least three separate weaves
are necessary-one for each shade.
Thus the weave used in forming the
shed in the warp for the black pile is
SO arranged as to depress the scarlet
and olive, while that for giving the
scarlet pile conceals the black and

Shall We Ever Fly.


Roger Bacon, the far-seeing monk Of
the fourteenth century, thus forecasts
the possibilities of q coming age:
"There shall be rowing without oars,
and sailing without sails; carriages
shall roll with unimagined speed. with
no cattle to drag them; instruments to
fly with, with which a man shall move
artificial wings; little machine which
shall raise and lower enormous weights /;
machine to enable man to walk on
the bottom of the sea, and bridges over
rivers, which shall rest neither on
piles nor on columns" Now that all
these possibilities, except flying. have
become actualities why should that
much louS'r be an exception!

as the pressure is relinquished the
water flows out of the shell, the fish
resumes its natural weight and returns

fBy Ansio-Amerfcan cable to mo Dispseehl
PARIS. March IT, The great tariff debate
opening in the Chamber Of Deputies next
week will probably last until midsummer.
Among the prominent politicians inter-
viewed on the French tariff was Jules
Ferry. During along conversation on this
subject Ferry said: I've shall impose low
duties ON the products of countries whose
tariffs favor us. If the United States re-
duces IT'S scale it will be the gamer in its
trade with France"
ESPECIALLY THE UNITED STATES.

to protect herself against foreign prohibi-
ton, especially against the United states.
We do not wish to attack anybody"

DR.. vigor. another protectionist deputy.
expressed the view that I'VE raise our
tariffs because the free-trade regime OF 1850
reduced the wholesale prices of our pro-
ducts without a corresponding reduction
in the retail prices. The new tariff will
not reduce the cattle duties, but we In:
tend to remove the prohibition placed
upon American pork. We shall ask IN re-

which bear heavily on French exporters"
NO FREE TRADE.
NJ. Leon Say. discussing the same sub
ject, among other things said: mo Tree
traders now exist in France, and there Is
no prospect of the adoption in France OF
free-trade principles during our time"
REACTION COMPLETE.
NJ. Molmari, a leading free trader, in con-
clusion said chat "the reaction in France
in favor of protection is complete. France
likes to eat its cake and yet have 1t. In
other words France would like to get pro-
lection against imports and free trade tor
her exports"

In Paris the publishing and literary cir
cles welcome the United States copyright
bill with praise and with feelings OF salts

CORDIAL PUBLICATIONS..
NJ. Delatain, ex-President Of the Publish

would not have exhibited at the Chicago

was signed. Delatain cabled to his friends
in the United States: Happy to hear the
