How the Plates from Which the Paper 10
Printed Are Prepared.
The Journal is not printed directly from
the type forms bat from stereotype pages
cast and perfected in the stereoty pc de-

for each page of every issue. This depart
ment is generally conceded 10 be one of the
most interesting and important of the many
departments into which q newspaper Office
is divided. aud although, as it's name
indicates. 1t pertains entirely to the
mechanical necessities of paper. q
high degree of skill is necessary to the pro-
duction of perfect work. The two men re-
sponsible for the mechanical neatness and
appearance of paper are the stereotyper
and pressman. and unless the pressman is
furnished with perfect plates it is impos-
