THE NEAT PRINTER,
An Artistic and Creditable Publ.
cation

An Artistic and Creditable Publ
cation.
The job and book printing house OF
o. johnson Bros, 26 Soledad street, have
] ust Issued number of their Neat
Printer" that reflects credit upon the
craft, and speaks volumes for the
achievements in the printers art in
our city.
The artistic features of the Neat
Printer" consist in specimens of fam
cy job work; the perfect press work
illustrated IN the different processes
s2t designs, com limitations OF cOlors, and
peatness in every line and heading.
In fact it is beauty.
The matter is devoted to topics re.
lsting to the printing trade generally,
and some of it has literary merit of no
mean degree; the Mexican Press of
SsH Antonio" is a most in
taHesting picture of our Mexi-
can newspaper colony, full of
fresh ideas and neat description.
Thought the Test of Merit, lis worthy
of the scrap book Bankers in the
Printing Blu siness," bears down Sc
verely upon the meddlipg of men in
the craft who know little or nothing
OF the requirements. Throughout
there is not a line in the edition that
p is not readable to the printer and
= newspaper publisher, and of interest
8 to the public. San AntoniaDs need
not seek a distant house to have first
class printing work done, either job
or book work, that is proven by the
last issue OF the Neat Printer"

running away He DeraliS street
Car OF Several Thousand
Pounds Weight.
A large gray horse, belonging to the
proprietor of the old Story livery
stable, ran away last night from the
corner of East Commerce and Syca-
more streets. 1t had been hired by a
negro and he had a woman in the
buggy with him. In making too
short turn in front of the colored
peoples saloon at this corner, the
buggy upset, the shafts broke off and
the horse, with the shafts, passed
everything on Commerce street
except q big motor of the Alamo
electric railway, which was just
crossing Commerce street, when he
struck the rear end with great force.
The platform was bent, and the car
was knocked off the track, fore and
rear trucks. The horse was knocked
down, but got up and resumed his
career down the street. He was
stopped on Main plaza.

The Future Railroad.

The enormous mass of extra dead
weight due to the carrying of the boil
er, fuel and water in the old locomotive
will be entirely unnecessary in the rail-
ways of the future. which will be pro-
peeled electrically. Unquestionablv
the future. electro-locomotion will show
a motor on every axle, or at any rate
upon two axles of each car, and every
car running as a unit, in which case
they can run coupled together in a
train, or not, as may be convenient
Oberlin Smith has entered a strong pro
test against carrying this enormous dead
weight of locomotive for absolutely
no purpose. We have the weight of the
cars. plus the passengers or freight. for
purposes of traction. even if we make
our cars in future of lighter material.
In speaking of the Hghtness of the fu-
ture conveyance by rail Mr.. Smith says
that we shall not only use steel and al
aluminium, but paper, india rubber and
other fibrous substances which viii give
us remarkably light cars far beyond
anything we now speak of practically.
Just as a wheelbarrow is to bicycle,
SO will our present clumsy cars be to
the future ones. To have big motor
car loaded with tons of ballast to give
it traction is following the path of steam
locomotion; in all probability the neces-
sary adhesion will soon be gained by
observation-disclosures News.

The rnventcr OF the Panora,na.

The panorama was invented by a
Scotchman named Robert Barker, who
obtained a license in London in 1857 and
erected q rotunda on Leicester square.
He was associated with Robert Fulton,
the practical inventor of the steamboat.
who introduced panoramas into Paris
in 1896, but resigned IN favor of Thaver,
perhaps in order to give his attention to
the application of steam to boats.
Thayer raised a rotuEda On the boule-
ward Montmartre. whence comes the
name of the Passage des Panoramas.
Bonaparte caused plans to be drawn
up for eight panoranas. in which his
conquests were to be shown to the
Parisians. whom he always tried to i'm
press with the magnitude of his achieve
ments in order to keep them faithful to
his star But these projects We're never
realized. Barker was imprisoned for
debt at Edinburgh III a cell with one

of the dungeon 1t was so dark that he
ceuld not see to read. but he found that
by placing the paper near the narrow
shaft of light that fell through the hole
In the ceiling the letters of the writing
became surprisingly distinct This set
him thinking. and after he was released
he began experiments on pictures
