The Postal Laws Respecting Newspapers.

The Postal Laws Respecting Newspapers.
About two years ago Messrs. Geo. p.
Rowel & Co., of New York, the publish
ers of Rowell's Newspaper directory, and
several other publications Of great value
to concerns wishing to do business with
the newspapers, started a very unique
weekly, both in form ,12mo.) and name
("Printers' Ink").
1t was new idea all through, and like
new ideas generally, required large capt.
tai, much experience and utmost push TO
make it go. The publishers had to edu-
cate people and make market for the
publication. To what extent they sue
ceeded may be judged by the fact that
its editions now exceed $1,000, and the
business probably 100000 per year. We
doubt if any publication published once
week is read with more avidity. In
fact we have seen it in many instances
carefully preserved just as monthly mag
azines are preserved, so highly is it
valued.
Now, after allowing the publishers to
proceed OH these lines for several years,
the post-ofiice department rules that tie
journal is not legitimate newspaper and
cannot be admitted to second-class rates,
but as third-class matter.
The postage on the issue Of January IS,
amounted at third-class rates to 1905, be-
sides the labor of attaching 50, 800 stamps
to that number of papers. At second
class rates the proper charge for postage
would be $69.72, making difference OF
cost OF mailing this one issue of 1888 "a.
In other words about $3627 year at
second-class matter, against Sal, 800 as
third-class. In the meantime Rowell &
Co. are paying this enormous sum under
protest until the department can further
consider the case.
OF course it is outrageous that the law
is SO ambiguous that the post-office au-
thorities themselves can blunder in con-
STRUNG it, as they do according to the
within OF the person in charge of the mat
ter, and it ought to be changed lmmedi-
ately in justice to those compelled to
suffer by such ambiguity.
If Printers Ink" is not newspaper,
then there is not weekly newspaper in
the country.
We believe it at present the best read
and most carefully preserved journal in
existence, and entitled to all the privi-
leges accorded any newspaper by the
postal laws, and hope to see the wrong
done the publishers righted without de-
lay.

setting Type with Both Hands.

a foreman Of a composing room has
conceived the idea Of using both hands
in picking up and setting the types In
the stick. Ever since the composing
stick was known the left hand has held
the stick while the thumb pressed each
successive type into place against the
pieces already in line. A one armed
compositor came to the foreman's room,
and with a single hand set almost as
much type as his fellow laborers did
with two
After thinking this over the foreman
worked out two inventions, by which he
proposes to use both hands at once. The
first is a little mechanical device for TAX
ing the place of the thumb, and the sec
ond is an attachment by which the stick
can be put in q convenient position for
receiving the type without being in the
way of any subsequent operations.
Having got SO far, the foreman found
that his next step was to train the left
hand. This was by no means easy, but
after patience and practice consider
able degree of proficiency was attained,
and he added 60 per cent to his former
capacity He believes a still further
advance is practicable, but is confident
that any composition by the use of his
inventions will be able to add at least 90
per cent. to his speed. Pittsburg Dis

an odd place to store Plunde=.

Much annoyance is frequently occa-
stoned by persons getting keys for the
purpose of viewing unoccupied houses
and failing To return them. In this con-
nection [ may mention an incident that
happened q year or two ago. A Well
dressed gentleman called at our Office
for the key of a house to look over 1T.
He neglected to return the key, however,
and the house was subsequently let to
another party.
About twelve months afterward,
while repairing a drain, the floor of one
of the rooms had to be removed, when q
quantity of watches, rings and other
jewellery was found concealed under the
ioists. These were proved to be the pro-
ceeds of a burglary at q jewelers. prem
ises. The man who had got the key OF
the house was known to the police as q
notorious burglar, and at the time had
been suspected of the robbery, but was
allowed to escape from want OF sufficient
evidence to convict him. AS he was
kept shadowed by the police he had con-
sidered it impolitic to attempt to remove
the stolen property.
Shortly after this he was arrested III
the north of England for a similar Of
tense and was sentenced to five years
penal servitude. His sentence has not
yet expired, and he probably remains in
ignorance of the fresh charge that will
await him on his release.-London Tit

A Ionster Volcano.

Hawaii is chiefly famous for its vol
canoes. Kilauea, the largest active vol
cano in the world, lies on the side of the
mountain Mauna Loa at an elevation of
1000 feet. We usually think of a vol
cano as a cone, but Kilauea is rather q
great sunken pit in the midst of a vast
desolate plain, which slopes up gently to
the summit of the mountain. 1t is pit
of no less than nine miles in circumfer-
ence and the area of its lowest level is
six square miles. The level varies, but
it is at present 800 feet below the sur
rounding country, and is reached by a
steep descent down the sheer face of a
precipice which extends right around
the crater and, as it We're, walls it in.
Within the crater, toward its southern
end, is an inner crater with one or more
lakes of fire, called Halemaumau, or
House of Everlasting Burnings, which
constitute the true chimney Of the vol
cano. Here Kilauea exhibits its cease
less activity.-Asia.ic Quarterly.
