The Typewriter's Work.
From the New YORK Recorder.


Few people know'the amount OF
labor involved in a days type
! writing or realize the distance the
hands travel in a days work.
The highest rate of speech. ever.
attained is 200 words a minute
This is supposed to be the result of
the most rapid movements the hu-
man hands are capable of. The
person making this record maintain
ed this speed for only four consecu-
tive minutes, and has never peen
able to exceed that limit. Assum-
ing the words averaged SIX letters
a piece, 1900 letters minute were
written. 1t is estimated that to
make each letter the fingers are
raised to a height of inches from
the keyboard. Two inches added
(for the descending movement)
make the fingers travel a inches be-
fore each letter is struck. So this
experts hand in writing these 200
words travelled 1900 inches, 400 feet
during the minute in which she
wrote 200 words.
But this is unusual, of course.
Very rapid writing is a speed of
seventy-fve words a minute, and
this rate is too fast for comfort.
Practical work is ten pages of legal
paper an hour. Each page con-
tains 800 words. Six hours steady
writing can be regarded as an entire
days work. This is a speed of
fifty words a minute, and the prac-
teal worker writes during the day
sixty pages-IS, 900 words, or IoS,-
900 letters. If her fingers travels
4 inches to make each letter during
the day it travels $4,000 inches.
This provides for the perpendicular
movement only, and it is fair to in
crease this distance by one-third to
estimate the distance the hands
travel over the keyboard in a hori-
zontal direction. The total sum
in inches is $40, 1000. This is equiv
alent to 1890 feet, or little over
nine miles day. In a week the
hands can cover fifty four miles,
and in years steady application
to business over $500 miles.

Most of the boats bore down from the shore

TIE CRUISER STILL FLOATS.
Mars and the Noon ConspIred to

Nine Boats Tried to Knock the Good Ship

torpedoes under the keei OF that majestic
cruiser and blown her high and dry on the
inhospitable shores of Alameda. And not
man Jack of the crew would have been
left TO tell the tale.

them up.
