Making a. Newspaper.
The making of paper is a mystery to
those outside of the office The readers of
The World will no longer remain in 1gnor-
ance of the manner Of making their favor
lite paper.
First let me say a word about the staff.
This staff is divided into two departments,
the editorial and business. At the head OF
the editorial department is the editor-in-
chief, who directs the policy and views
of the paper and who is responsible for all
of it's utteranceS.
Ranking next below the editor-in-chief
is the managing editor. He is responsible
to the editor-in- chief for everything that
is printed in the paper not specially ordered
by the editor.
Now we come to the part in which you
will be more interested, the making up and
getting out of the paper. The best way
follow a manuscript which has been &C
copied for publication.
The editor to whose department it is
consigned reads it over with great care,
correcting all mistakes. He then sends 1t
to the composing room to be put into type.
The foreman has pair of shears ana
blue pencil. We will say he has forty men
at work. The foreman takes the manu-
script and cuts it into forty "takes." Each
man will have a sheet to 'set up" The
foreman marks the pieces. we Will say,
''B L. ''B 81 and so on. Each composltor
He holds in his hand a "stick," little
metal case that holds about two inches OF
type exactly the width of a column:
When he fills his stick he goes to the
"proof-bank," a wooden stand furnished
with brass ridges. On this he finds a tray
about three and half inches wide by
this he puts the type he has set up: me
foreman has all the galleys on the "stones,
a stone-covered table, beside which is an
other holding a ''fornl." The form is
rectangular iron frame holding enough type
to print one sheet on one side.
Few of the leading papers are now print t.
that bv the use of the stereotype several
copies can be printed at the same tlme:
The steorotyper puts several thlcknesses Oh
damp paper over the form: He then beats
it with a stiff brush until he has perfect
mold of the type This mold or matrlx
is put in q casting box and melted metal

plate is taken out which is exactly large
enough to go half way round the cylinder.
1t depends upon the press IS VI now heen many ad
iusted on the cylinders. the press is staftea
and papers are thrown off at the rate OF
500 per minute, sometimes 1,WO. Ihat IS
how a paper is made, and you need TCt
be ranked among the ignorant any lohsef'
