! Fl -. ROGERS. TYPoGRAPH f.
The Rogers typograph was invented by
J. X. Rogers Of Cleveland, Ohio, September
4. 1855 many improvements: having been
made; on the machine since. OF these
number have. been suggested by Mr.. f. E.
. Bright, the superintendent of the Rogers
:TYpograph: C0mpany's factory. In its latest
5lmpI DYED form it consists of two parts an as
.semblage and distributing mechanism. The
. ssts essentially OF wires, which spread out
in fan shape at their rear portion and con-
verge into common vertical plane in front.
These wires are fastened to a light iren
frame which is pivoted so as to tin
forward and back something like a
>, Remington Typewriter carriage. This
frame and the wires 1t supports stand ait
3an: angle OF about thirty-ive degrees On
these wires, at their upper or rear extrem-
ity, are the matrices suspended by ain eve
They are strung Oh the wire like beads on
a string, all those OF the same letter being
on one wire. BY very simple mechanism
the matrices are released by touching key
on the keyboard precisely Ike a typewriter
The matrices then by their own gravity
slide down the wires to the forward portion
of the machine, where the wires are In the
common plane before mentioned. When

parts. First. the mold, which is brought
forward against the matrices, or female
type. This mold has an aperture just the
size. of q line of type. The secondary
part; of the casting mechanism is the
melting pot which contains about
thirty pounds of stereotype metal,
kept in a liquid state by "a
small gas-burner,: The melting pot has a

York. The inventor is "A native of New
York, having been born at Cambridge thirty
two years ago. The Mcmillan system of
mechanical composition has been a growth
from small beginning. which dates back
to the year 1888, when the first attempt to
set type mechanically was made by the pres
ent company. The first machine which left
the works was sent to the office of the Utica
Morning Herald in 1885: An important
feature Of the type setting machine is that
the keyboard Is an exact reproduction of
the Remington type writer, an advantage
that can be enjoyed by no other company.
Owing to the small number Of keys used
and the consequent conclseness OF the key
board, operators acquire skill in much less
time than is required to learn large key
boards. Remington stenographers readily
adapt themselves to the machine. The
forty keys of the board communicate
with the eighty characters in pre-
cisely the same manner as "a type
writer. The type setting machine IS quite
compact, the parts are all accessible, the
motions seem positive and safe. the pressure
OF the keys very easy, approx mating

set-fp matter is directly in front OF the
operator and he may see every letter take
its place and add any character not in the

flying attachment fastened to the frame and

How TO SET. A TABLE.
DelmolicO Tells How a Fable Should Be Set
and Arranged. :

Learn first, says Delmonice in an ar1i-
Gle in the November Ladies' Home Journal,
how to set a table,. A round table is bet
ter than square table, if the dining room
is large enough to permit it; If not, then
the oblong extension = table must be
used. The round table is much more
preferable and easier to seat people
at, besides it gives suggestion of
the. famous King Arthur and the
knights. of the Round Table" A few
prominent society women still cling to the
old-fashioned long, narrow table. Mrs.
Aston, for example. still uses that style of
dning-table in:order that her,fam0us gold
dinner-set may be placed to the best ,advan-
tage. Mrs. August Belmont, on the con-
trary. prefers All oblong table, and the dec:
orations for an elaborate dinner are carried
out to make the shape more pronounced.
Flowers should never. be absent from the
diDner-taDle. No matter how homely, they
add to the picturesQuehess of the feast
Let us.see how a table is set for fashion,
able dlnner-paTty. On the table is first
placed "A thick flannel cloth, the thicker it is
the better, as 1t prevents noise of the dishes
as. they are placed on it. Over this is spread
a snowy-white damask table-cloth, bearing
the family crest or coat of-arms Some
times over this is placed still another, of
elaborate embroidery and lace, lined with
pink or yellow satin, as taste dictates. or
whatever color is to predominant at the din
ner. The plates are first. placed upon the
table. As these are TO- remain until after
soup@is served, they are always: the hand-
soonest in: the gold or china. SETS, as the
case may be- Don't crowd. Each: guest
should be allowed a space of two feet or.
tw enty-six inches, it. the table will admit of
it, and The plates placed at equal distances
apart; i lace two dinner forks to the left of
each plate; also an oyster fork with prongs
resting On the edge OF the plate. On theright
must. be a dinner knife and spoon for soup.
The glasses: are arranged at the right of
each guest or a line with the inner edge Of
the pfate. The water glass is set next to
the plate: Then glasses for whatever other
glass whetherof water or. any other liquid,
should never be filled more. than three
quarters full. -. ~: =. 'T II:

corn wagon to haul the fints to camp. The
total weight was trifle over 400, pounds.
The implements were found in layer one
foot in thickness, extending over space
twenty by thirty feet Many of them were
over eight or ten inches In length, some OF
them even larger. while the majority ranged
from seven to eight inches. They are made
of gray flint found only in Indiana, and

The largest find of flint implements made
in, one place heretofore in America did not
exceed 1900 specimens. In one of the cav
erns occupied by primitive man in the val

reasonable to conclude that nearly one days
work was expended on each implement, and
