course had been northeasterly across the
northern point of Nova Zembla, then west
and then due north. The new land was
named after the Austrian emperor and
christened "Kaiser Franz Joseph Land"
Although the Tegetthoff was forever
docked in icy ways and the polar ocean
must remain unexplored, the fields of adj
venture were opened by this discovery
Lieut.. Payer, who was the sledge captain
of the party, engaged in preliminary scouts
before the long night of 1874 drew on,
and with the first return of light in March,
1874, began a series Of journeys in the
frozen archipelago He found a land about
the size Of SpitZbergen, almost devoid Of
vegetation and absolutely free from human
inhabitants and Of the signs that 1t had
ever been visited by such. The surface is
mountainous and between the mountains
vast glaciers roll down from the sides at
the rate of two inches daily. The glaciers
are so plastic that on separating TO pass a
rock they unite beyond it without forming
n crevasse. The only form of life met with
was the polar bear. The first one sighted
ran away carrying n bullet, but skillfully
concealing his trail by stanching the flow
of blood He was met with once or twice
again, and was finally killed by being am.
pushed in q pass between two steep icy
cliffs. The explorers barricaded the pass
with their sledges and packs and baited
his bearship with bread and meat so that
he came within pistol shot
Lieut.. Payer made second sledge jour
ney in April and another in May, travers-
ing the land for $50 miles Even in the lat
ter month the cold was so intense in the
mountain region that rum became ms thick
as molasses and as weak as milk.
The return Of spring brought no hope
to the navigators of the fettered ship, and
they abandoned her on May 20 and began
to retreat to Nova Zembla The outfit for
the Journey over ice and icebound tides
consisted of four boats mounted on sledges,
with q baggage sledge attached to each.
The sledges carried a weight of 1900
pounds, of which 800 pounds was provision
for men and dogs.
The first days progress was only one
mile, and on some days only half a mile
was made. The pathway was over ice
hummocks covered with crusted snow,
into which men and sledges sank to the
depth Of foot or more. After roadway
had been broken the dog sledges could trot
back TO the ship in couple OF hours, and
in this way rations Of food and spirits for
daily use were drawn from the abandoned
stores. Occasionally the travellers found
an ice hole and launched the boats, but in
the end they would find the channel
blocked by walls of ice rising at times
fifty feet from the water. At times also
the boats would be blockaded in the water
and forced to lie still day or two.
Toward the end of June the weather was
so warm that snow quickly melted in YES
sells exposed to the sun. In days of idle
ness the pastime was reading old news
papers, smoking and talking. Smoking
was luxury that at times had been i'm
possible in the far north, for at the s0th
parallel in winter a cigar freezes between
the lips. The effort needed in travelling
was understandable, now clambering over

ready and often begged to be put in, but
there were enough without them. At
Malvern Hill the battalion waited all day
on the edge of the fight, with cannon
parked and horses harnessed and ready.
Toward the close of the day a messenger
dashed to Col. Walton's bivouac, tossed
down an envelope at random. touched his
cap and sped on. Tearing the envelope,
the commander read the ten words that
ordered the Washington battalion into
action at once. But a magnificent and in.

countermanded the order for attack.

THE EVENING JOURNAL KEEPS PACE
WITH TEE CITY's ADVANCEMENT.

A history of the growth and improve
ment of Wilmington would not be
complete without modest mention Of
the EVENING JOURNALS advance in
newspaper making.
The EVENING JOURNAL began publica-
tion on May ., 1883, with little capital,
but considerable experience of its pro.
jectors in the art of newspaper making,
and from very modest beginning has
assumed the position of the leading
newspaper Of the state.
1t endeavors to give all the news with
out fear or favor and justly enjoys the
reputation-conceded even by those who
differ with it in policy-of being the best
newspaper in every respect ever printed
in the state of Delaware.
The EVENING JOURNALS local re-
ports are the fullest, most accu
rate and latest, and its telegraphiC
service, taken over its special wire direct
to the Office cannot be excelled any
where. It's columns are always breezy
bright and entertaining, and its bons
fde circulation is now larger than that

cations of large circulation.
Like many other real inventors he de-
parted from the beaten paths of his prede-
cessors and applied his mind to working
upon new lines He seemed convinced that
the limit of speed in presses of the old
kind had been practically reached, and
that the advance must be something en-
tirely new.
The first machines were built six
years ago and were put into use by the
proprietors of the Burlington la) Hawk
eve, the Grand Rapids (Mich) Democrat
the Rockford Ol) Register and other
dailies of that class They were practi-
cally successful and are still in opera
tion, The only objection to them was that
the speed. while much greater than that
of any other hat-bed press did not JUS
tify the cost of their construction or
satisfy the expectations of the inventor.
Their capacity was about two thousand
perfected papers per hour.
Since that time the energies of Mr.. Cox
have been directed toward simplifying the
Evening journal., 1892-11-11

of any other newspaper in Wilmington,
a fact which advertisers have not been
slow to discover and avail themselves Of.
Our New Press.
The new Cox Duplex Printing Press
audFOlding Machine Charlotte, recently
put in by the EVENING JOURNAL, marks
an epoch in Delaware journalism. There
is nothing stereotyped about it. Like
the news printed in tire EVENING jour
NAL it is the latest, and consequently the
best
This innovation is simply the CON
summation of the aims of the manage
ment of the paper since its inception
nearly five years ago Those who have
seen the Charlotte feed itself with
blank paper from a large roll and turn
out thousands of handsomely printed,
pasted and folded papers, can truthfully
say that the pleasure of realization is
much greater than the pleasure of an
ticipation.

rollers are carried with the two cylinders
and they pass over the form twice for
each impression Only two fountains
are required Notwithstanding the fact
that the rollers take ink at each end Of
the press.
The WAY the Papers Are Folded.
The folder is between the main wheels
and above the shaft carrying them. The
folded papers are delivered in a packing
box directly over the roll Of paper at the
end of the press. The upper bed is less
than three feet from the floor, while the
pressman, standing upon the floor can
look down upon the upper surface of the
folder
The machine has a rotary movement
throughout, with the exception that the
cylinders are reciprocated, and the
paper dwells during the impression in
that part of the web only which lies
horizontal, and that which extends over
the rear end Of the press, as seen in the

machine and increasing its capacity. The
expenditure of five years of energetic
thought and an immense amount OF
labor and capital has accomplished this
Four Thousand an Hour.
The press now operating in the EVEN
ING JOURNAL Office is a simple strong,
durable and thoroughly practical ma
chine, capable of printing, pasting and
folding from a roll either four, six on
eight pages from fiat beds with ordinary
type forms, thirty-fve hundred to forty.

IL retains simply the vital principles
of the old machine. It's form is changed
completely. It is simplicity perfected,
with the speed doubled 1t is practically
free from adjustments, and there are
few parts likely to got out Of order.
The power is applied from the main
driving wheel TO the impression without
gear: in other words with less inter
vening mechanism than in any other Hat

simplest drum cylinders The cut of tn,

is very simple. Two impression cylinders

The Young Inventor.
The machine is the outgrowth Of many
years of study. experiment failure, dis
appointment, with final success and
triumph.
Nearly fifteen years ago Joseph L. Cox.
a Young printer who was possessed with
remarkable inventive genius, became
convinced that there was something
needed in presses that had never been
considered practical. Seeing the wide
gan between the handled presses ON
which the bulk of the printing of the
world is still being done and the eX-
pensive stereotype machines on which
the great metropolitan dailies are
printed. he determined to fill it with a
machine that should meet the demands
of speed and economy, combined with
little expense Of operating, Of that

way. The whole machine occupies a
floor space of only about 9xl5 feet.
This press win print fold and paste
either fourpag a six page or an eight
page paper. and either size may have
six columns or seven columns TO
the page. No adjustments whatever are
required in either press or folder in
changing from the four to the six OF

is TO put in the proper width of roll
AS all the gearing and other mechanism
employed TO move the beds I'M ordinary
cylinder presses is dispensed with in this
machine; as there are no grippers or
small and delicate mechanisms of any
kind; as the movements are mostly
rotary and not rapid, and as the press il
designed and constructed in the most
solid and thorough manner the durability
of the press is beyond question, fan
greater than that of other machines
Another noticeable feature in the con.
struction of the press is that IL is de
signed to produce the least possible wear

press, as the beds do not move at all

The use of GAS for COOKING and

established.
About LOO GAS STOVES are in use
in this city.
The advance in coal prices can be
offset by using GAS STOVES in the

will thus be more comfortable than with
heater fires which are often oppressive
