A foreman Of composing roola has
conceived the idea u using both hands
In picking up and setting the typ-s 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
compoeitor came 10 the foreuian's room.
and with . single hand set almost -
much type ~ his fellow lsborers did
with two.
After thinking this over tho foreman
worked out two inventions. by which he
proposes 10 use both hands At once. The
first is little mechanical device for TAX
ing the place OF she thumb. and the sec
ond Is an attachment by which the stick
can be put In = 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 tho left
hand. This was by no means easy, but
after patience and practice consider
able degree Of proficiency was attained.
and lac added 90 per cent. to his former
capacity. He believes = still further
advance Is practicable. but is confident
that any compositor by the use Of his
inventions will be able to add at least SO
per cent. to his speed.-Pittsburg Dis

It is at present 600 feet below the sur

There is probably nowhere in the

mountaineers in the remote districts Of
West Virginia. The "stoneboat" Of the

familiar with the amenities Of civilized
life as to be ignorant Of many words in
