typoear Is the. only exponent OF the cold
metal. process or cold type bar. The pro-
ducihg of the line of matrices which form
the type, the justification of the line and the
distribution of the matrices after use are
done automatically and require only one sec
ond in the operation. The action of as
sembling the nlatIices is positive and
practically instantaneous; they all travel
the same distance guided to their posi-
tons by the same kind of mechanism
and the same amount OF force. and only

paIgn. : The sailing is one Of the most i'm
portant and delicate operations. If there is
not enough salt on the fish. it will not
keep; if there is too much, the fish is black
and moist A good salter is Just as yalu-
able to the owner Of "banker" as a good
captain.
Four men are generally employed to salt
the fish in the hold. One. with sort of
curved trident, shovels down the salt to the
level of the piles of fish already made; the
other receives the fish that are thrown down
from the deck and passes them to. the piler,
who places them with minute care in close
layers, finally the salter comes with his
shovel in his hand. spreads salt over the lay
ers of fish and looks alter the methodical
and regular execution Of all these processes.
This work has to be done quickly and well.
AS soon as the fish has been washed it
ought not to remain on deck, but be slowed
away as quickly as possible. Furthermore,
if the Goldfish is not packed regularly, with
out the edges touching, and if the layer of
salt is too thick or too: thin, the. salting.is
compromised, and the drying of the fish.
which is done especially at Bordeaux and
Cette, will give cod Of poor quality. J..
