over another roller. aud thence drops

bears against it. This impression cylin-
der is covered with blanket and cloth
OF peculiar texture, drawn taut,
and the plates having been
linked By contact with an ink

ceives an impression OF the four pages.
The paper then passes onward partially

in contact with plate cylinder No. ?,

culiar arrangement of the mechanism,
the travelling sheet of paper has been

and rapidly until the fast diminishing
size of the roll OF paper warns the vigil
liant pressman that he must stop and &C
lust a new roll. This occurs from three
to FIVE times In running off an edition OF
the paper, and this morning about twenty
miles Of white paper went humming
through the press 10 print this single
edition. 1t is wonderful change from
the printing facilities and appliances OF
a few years ago.
AS the papers come from the press,
they are carried in great bundles 70 the
mailing room, where the mail-boys han
die them with lightning-like rapidly,
stamping them with addresses, through
the medium OF an automatic mailing
machine, rolling them into packages,
applying the proper address, aud de-
hosting the bundles thus made IN ca
pacious mail bags. These In turn are
loaded into a wagon and In the gray
dawn OF the morning are hurried away
to the postoflice, just In time TO catch
the early morning raalls for all parts Of
the compass.
While this Is going on, and the re-
porters, compos.tors, etc, ara vending
their way homeward, the superintend-
emf OF the city subscription department
appears on the scene, marshals his
score or so of ncwsboys, apportions out
10 each bis quota of papers, aud sees
that he is started of in good time to get
the copies 70 the residences OF sub
scrl5ers In ample time for the earliest

saw finishes It's work. and the plate is
removed in twinkIing to another very
similar cylinder, where the edges are
beveled and trimmed up and various
imperfections removed. From this Ia
Bile 1t is put into planer. where the
plate, uneven on It's convex side, is
trimmed by steam automatic planer
to Just the right thickness, and comes
out ready for the pressman, who rushes
IL to the waiting press and bolts it
tightly in its proper place upon its pro-
per cylinder.
In like manner the eight pages OF the
DAILY REGISTER, or the ten or more Of
the WEEKLY or SUNDAY REGISTER are
cast and prepared, the last plate is bolted
in place, the pressman pulls a lever, and
straightway REGISTERS, cut, trimmed,
pasted, folded and counted are being
produced at the rate of twelve thousand
an hour, ready for the impatient crowd
of newsboys and mailing clerks who
have been awaiting the event.
Let Us take a look at
THE MAGNIFICENT AND PERFECT MA
CHINE
as 1t performs this almost miraculous
work.
The REGISTERS press-the first OF its
kind turned out by the celebrated firm
of r. Hoe & Co., and which has been
appropriately christened "THE REGIS
TER"-is at first glance an unin-
telligible combination OF wheels
within wheels and rollers upon
rollers and bands upon bands, and yet it
is one OF the simplest affairs in the world
when once understood, and when it gets
to work rolling paper from its two large
spools at speed OF dozen miles an
hour printing it, cutting it, folding it,
and counting and registering the copies
turned out, everything seems marvellous
ly easy. Indeed, it is essentially a simple
machine, OF wonderful power and ca
paclty, in which the pathway Of the
hugo sheet of paper, from its place on
the roll to it's delivery from the folder,
q complete newspaper, Is direct and con-
tinuous. Including the folding mech
anism, it is twenty feet long. six feet
wide and six feet high, and its weight
is upwards of fifty thousands pounds, or
more than twenty-five tons.
It's capacity for the production OF
complete newspapers is simply marvel
Gus. Printing in its simplest form,
from one roll OF paper, 1t will deliver
from twenty to twenty-four thousand
four-page papers, OF the size of the old
REGISTER, per hour, or at the rate OF

have achieved marked success, ynain-
tanning and adding to the preylous>ex-
cellent reputation OF the honse.
The simplest form Of the bed and cyl
inder press was fhe first power press
manufactured by this house, printing
from a fat form OF type, aud this repre-
sented the most advanced ideas In print
ing machinery, supsrcedlng, with It's
1000 impressions on one side per hour,
the old hand-prcss OF the century be-
fore. About 1876, Col. x. M. Hoe In
vented the type-reyolylng press, and his
''ligntning press" patented in lsi7, rev.
olutionized the whole art OF printing.
The invention was a simple one, the
principal once thought Of, and the Hoe
presses at once sprang into worldwide
celebrity, the multiplication OF impress
sion cylinders around central
type-bearing cylinder, enabling the
manufacturers to provide for speed oil
from two to twenty thousand impress
sions an hour, printed on one side.
This was tremendous step in advance,
and the Lords of the Priyy Council OF
England, In granting an extension OF
the patent, characterized II as the great
est step ever made In the printing art.
The first press Of this sort turned out
by the Messrs. Hoe went to La Pot'fc,
OF Paris, in lsis, aud In 1857, the Len
don Times ordered TWO ten cylinder
Hoes, after years OF fruitless effort with

printers who have stakes" '2 e, "''5 E."

on the galley. All the ''takes" OF type
are showed up close together. and the
article being then completed, galley
boy takes proof slip OF it, and it. is
sent to the editorial room, where 1t is
read for errors, each error marked on
the margin, aud the slip returned TO the
com posing room, where the printers
correct the errors. A revised proof is
then taken and with the original proof,
isreturned to the editorial room, where
the revise is read to see that all the
errors first marked have been corrected.
II all the errors have been corrected.
the revise is marked 30. K" and the
galley Is taken by the foreman and the
type arranged in the column and page
it is to occupy in the paper the next
morning.
The course hero briefly indicated Is
followed with all other sorts OF copy
local, miscellaneous, telegraph, markets
and what not-and so it comes that along
about three o'clock in the morning the
paper Is either "full" or is running
over, and the pages are ''made up" by
the foreman and his assistants, locked
up" by being screwed up almost as
tightly as one solid piece OF metal in
steel frame called a'chase," and each
page by itself, after a certain order, is
run GA a wheeled table onto steam
elevator and is lowered into the stereo-
tipping room on the first floor, four
stories below.
Let US now visit
THE sTEREoTYPER
In his region of intolerable heat
When the first completed page of type
comes to his department from the COM
posing room, by the way of the elevator,
it is tackled by the stereotyper and his
assistant and transferred to a second
truck fitted with top which can be
raised and lowered by means of a screw,
while the first truck is rolled back to
the rear of the room out of the way.
The stereotyper first loOsens the type
in the chase by starting the screws
which bind it together, and then ham
mers the type down TO an absolutely
uniform level with fiat piece OF hard
wood and heavy mallet. This done,
he lays upon the smooth surface of the
page a sheet of prepared paper, which
is taken from little pile lying in
metal box partially filed with water,
and proceeds to beat the paper into the
surfaces Of the type and the interstices
between them with heavy long-handled

Tue boom tn spring ddrerttstng.
 Spring is the season when the young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love. The young woman's imagina- ton is more practically directed towards the numerous spring openings and con temptation of the bargains counter. Now is the time to advertise. Buyers are looking for bargains, and they na- turally turn to these columns for an nouncements. You can expect them to look you up and ask if you have any thing to sell.
 Style is of paramount importance in advertising. We have been giving some striking samples of the possibilities in this line lately. Probably they have caught your eye. That's what they're for. This particular form of advertising has worked wonders in John Wana- makers business, and is known as the Wanamaker style. It has made his for tune. Advertising will make your for tune if you have energy and nerve.
 Top of column.
 Such location is very desirable and rather expensive. But it's cheap at any price. If your goods are all wool they deserve to rank high in our columns. But to we'll worded and tastefully de- signed admere precedence of position is not essential. It will attract attention anywhere.
 Next to reading matter.
 Shrewd ad vertisers have predilectioD for placing their announcement as nearly as possible to genuine reading matter, where it appeals insidiously to the wandering eye of the reader and abstracts his attention from the Crisis in Europe to the Crisis in Crash Towel. lings or the latest thing in Haberdash- cry.
 Speaking of reading notices.
 We can put your announcement in plain words, in plain type and in plain sight of every casual reader. This form of advertising proves exceedingly re- munerative in some cases.
 Run of the paper
 The advertiser who has sufficient faith in the integrity and discretion of our accomplished foreman to trust to his judgment in the location and display ol advertisements never gets left in the long run. Change is a law of nature, and it is we'll O apply it in your busi ness announcements. Variety is tho spice of advertising. Call at the Business once. : THE REPUBLICAN.
