a machine has been designed for max
ing bricks and tiles on the semi-dry
process. The clay or material to be
formed into bricks is fed into a hopper
in a loose and graduated state. The
finish is delivered as the charger re-
turns to refill the empty mold. Each
brick receives four distinct presses,
whereby the air is thoroughly expressed.
All the labor required is one man to TIP
the clay into the grinding pan, and one
boy to take off the bricks as the machine
delivers them. p
Among the various purposes for which
this machine is employed, besides brick
and tile making, are the forming of
purple ore, or "blue billy, " into briquettes
for the smelling furnace, the forming of
nickel oxide into cakes for the assaying
furnace, the forming of dry cement com

LEANDER

One OF the Men Who Prove That the
American Dramatist Does Exist.
The cry that there are no American
dramatists" is getting TO be excessively
weArisome. There are American drama
lists, and like nearly everything else that
is American they are good, and worthy OF
vast consideration
Among them Deander Richardson shine
brightly. At first he merely twinkled;
now he shines, and presently he will be Il
great big light. He would be already II he
had devoted the time he has given TO max
ing adaptations from the works Of foreign
ers to writing original plays for US to ad-
mire-which he Is perfectly capable Of
doing.
But his adaptations have been so full Of
merit that we can forgive him. For in
stance, the American version Of "Oliyette,"
that charming light opera which sprang
into instant favor, was from his pen. He
also adapted Heart and Hand" THE
Snake Charmer," "Anselma," "Diyor-
cons" "Exp4ation" and THE Nominee"
The last named play was the comedy which
Nat Goodwin kept on in New York more
than seventy-hve nights this season. and
out Of 1t both the actor and the writer have
already made comfortable fortunes. OF
Mr. Richardson's original plays "The Mil
liOnaire," in which Daniel Sully is now
touring the country, is perhaps best known;
but tombstone Benefits new piece, "A
Business Woman" which he wrote with
Clay NJ Greene as collaboration, promises
big things, and will doubtless keep its
promises
These alone are good sized incidents to
have occurred in the career OF a man only
thirty-hve years old; but they are by no
means all OF Leander Richardson's achieve
ments. His working life begaR in the
Office Of the Chicago Inter-O ocean, In 1871
Afterward he became European CORE
spondent of the Boston Herald and other
papers. He was the most popular Yankee
writer that ever went to Ireland. High
and low alike he made his friends, and that

IL is a long time yet before you will
have your knapsacks packed for the great
encampment to be held at Detroit. Mich,
but some OF you are even now inquiring as
to the best route.
If you will ask any ticket agent or hotel
clerk for a folder containing a map of the
Great Wabash route and will examine
that map, you will see that this line offers
inducements u%uequaled. For instance.
you will see hat the Wabash can take
o from either Kansas City or Council
Bluffs. by way of st. Louis and Chicago,
or Toledo, or via the direct air line straight
to Detroit without change of cars.

valuable pointers. g. NJ. HAMPsoN,

fact illustrates a phase Of his character.
Richardson could go in evening dress
into a gathering Of wOrkingmen and in
five minutes convince them that he was
one OF them and had On a blue jumper.
Or he could change an actual blue Jumper
into "A theoretical swallowtail in the same
length OF time among a crowd Of swells.
His work In Chicago and Europe only
covers a small part OF his newspaper expert
ence, however. He has also at various
times done staff duty on the New York
Tribune, the Springfield Republican, the
Rocky Mountain News and the Hartford
Courant. One branch OF his literary labors
upon which he does not look back with I'M
adulterated pride, put which brought him
in considerable cash, was a year passed as
Observation-Disclosures serial writer for one Of
the flash weeklies. He has written two
books OF unquestioned merit, "The Dark
City" and Lord Dunmersey," n his
third novel, "As Ye Sow" is now running
in his weekly newspaper, The Dramatic
News, This newspaper, by the way, is the
largest dramatic publication in America,
and Richardson edits all Of it, and owns
half Of it.
Personally Leander Richardson is a
mighty good friend and a splendid enemy.
There Is probably no more accomplished
and earnest hater than he, when occasion
requires, in the city of New York. He sci.
don goes to the theater; he smokes con.
stantly; he is N epicure, and can cook
dishes fit for his own fastidious palate. As
a host he is perfect. His big three story
house commands the fresh breezes and
splendid views OF Central park, and is al
ways open to his friends.
He made the best possible selection of a
father when he came into the world, for he
chose no less a man than Albert Richard
son, who was between 1850 and 1870 prob
ably as well known a newspaper CORE
spondent as the United States could boast
OF When the war began Albert Richard
son went to the front for the New York
Tribune, and distinguished himself by the
graphic descriptions OF exciting battles
Will which his dispatches scintillated, as
well as by his own daring exploits in the
search for news. An attempt on his part
TO run the blockade at Nicksburg resulted
In capture and a year and a halPs imprison-
ment in Confederate strongholds. Finally
he outwitted his guards. He afterward
wrote a book, which reached an enormous
sale, under the title, 1.-The Field, the Dun
geon and the Escape" Another famous
volume from his pen is Beyond the Mis-
%sissippi." EDWARD MARSHALL
