MIND READING.

However skeptical we may have
been In the past as to the transmission
OF thought or "mind reading" our
personal experience with Prof. Calef,
IN the Opera House, on Monday even
ing, places us among his converts or
convinced. The writer was but one of
half dozen strangers to the professor,
all of whom made solemn declaration
before the audience of no intent or
purpose to assist him In any deccp
ton whatever. Thus unaided the pro-
fessor demonstrated to our satisfaction,
at least, a power which we think may
be rightly termed supernatural or mir
aculous. Humbugs being as numer.
Gus as fleas on dog these days, our
town people had evidently placed him
In this category and stayed at home.
The professor properly located every
secreted article,to the astonishment of
the audience, though he was both
guarded and blindfolded in every test
by those who would have shown him
up quickly had he failed. He failed
once, we must say, in his figure test,
while holding the writer by the hand.
And. as the professor perhaps rightly
declared his failure due to the waver-
ing and skeptical mind of his subject,
instead Of our showing up the professor
he seems rather to have shown us up.
To fail once and succeed a dozen
times takes the professor out of the
catagory of humbugs and places him
among those endowed with the sup
ernatural, or if you please, miraculous
power, TO which the Bible so frequently
refers as given to fit subjects to re-
celve it In the early ages of Christian
ity. If the professor is not protesting
Christian he is, we believe, gentle
man, so far as we can read character
without acquaintance, and without
protesting ourselves to be scientific
mind reader.

THE FASTMAIL."

The attraction at the Opera House
next Monday evening will be Lincoln
J. Carter's great scenic melodram,
"The Fast Mail" 1t has been one of
the greatest successes known to the
stage for years. 1t has story of thrill
ing interest, and the scenic and other
mechanical effects are said to be mar
velous. There is a representation of
an engine room on a Mississippi steam
boat, with the furnaces under the
boilers in active operation. A very
realistic train Of cars shoots across
the stage, and the Niagara Falls scene
is one Of the most elaborate and
daring things ever undertaken in the
drama. 1t is described as beautiful,
vivid and accurate representation Of
that stupendous marvel of nature.
The Falls are shown by moonlight,
with the roaring and plunging waters,
and the mist that rises from the seeth-
ing current. One of the most promi-
nent of the plays features is the COM
plete freight train of fourteen cars,
with an Illuminated caboose, drawn
by practical locomotive. The play
itself has thrilling situations in abund.
ance, plenty of humor to tighten its
tone and give il an agreeable flavor
throughout. Seats are now on sale at
States.

Reporters In Trouble.

The entire editorial force of the
Neao Ha0en Register were recently
summoned to appear before a Con
necticut court to show cause why they
should not be held for contempt for
inaccurately reporting the proceedings
In recent murder trial, and lcr cast,
ing reflections on the doings of the
judiciary.
The Judge being somewhat puzzled
to know just which individual reporter
wrote the Objectionable article tenn
porarily dismissed the case, promising
to do much worse by the offender if
he could find him. 1t seems the boys
kind of stuck together and thus es-
capped punishment that they deserved,
perhaps.

Our Location.

Having heard an occasional visitor
to town say: "Really, l don't know
where THE COLUMBIAN Office is To-
Gated" we take this occasion to say to
all in need of news or job printing
that we may be found a few doors west
of the pest Office, or just across the
street from Rishtons drug store where
we have been for fourteen years. Call
and see us.
We have been trying for some time
to have sign painted on the building,
and hope the painters will soon find
time to complete 1t. The one on the
front does not seem to be sufficiently
conspicuous.

Twenty one persons were confirmed
in St. PauTs Church last Sunday night,
by Bishop Rulison. Every seat in the
church was occupied, and many chairs
were placed in the aisles. The Bishop
preached very interesting and prac-
tical sermon, touching on many Of the
questions of the day. The altar was
covered with beautiful cut flowers,
and Easter lilies stood at the front of
the chancel. The music was well
rendered by the vested choir, the
special feature in the morning being
the jubilate by Garrett, and in the
evening the Magnihcat by H. Lohr.
AT these two selections Chas. p. Elwell
played the organ. The Bishop left
on Monday noon.

bulletin says: "Henrietta Purcell Of
Mount Vernon, N, J., jumped the rope
I3a times on Thursday and will be
lowered into her grave by ropes to
day. Other little girls have gone to
heaven by the same route, and the
wonder is that enough lessons have
not been learned to prevent so much
of this violent exercise by children.

nigh complete revolution in the methods
Of producing the daily newspaper has been
accomplished.
The successful application of the limo
type to newspaper composition, of which
the pages of the Morning News afford
daily illustration, means as much to the
reader as those concerned in the publica-
ton. With four times the speed of hand
work, fewer mistakes to be corrected and
new dress of type every day, a com
posing room equipped like that of the
Morning News, with a full complement Of
linotype machines, is enabled to present
whatever is latest and freshest in the
way of news up to the very minute of
going to press. Great as are the require
ments 10 produce such an edition as the
Morning News presents to its readers
evry morning, 1t has never been taxed TO
its utmost capacity. This is because the
proprietor has kept pace with the growth
of the paper by the adoption Of the most
improved machinery. Its splendid Hoe

hour, and the recent Introduction Of the
linotype make It equal to any emergency

ems per week of eight hours per day.
one operator in one week has set 36S 800
ems, an average of 1858 per hour.
The linotype was invented by a watch
maker whose name It bears. 1t is really
three machines in one; a type-setter, a
typC-moulder and a distributor, thus do
ing the work of three men with one man,
irrespective of the fact that one man,
even though only an ordinary operator,
can set the type alone as fast as four
ordinary printers by hano. These ma
chimes can be run either by steam or cleo
trio power, and each machine can be
operated singly. In the Morning News
office they are run by electricity, and
when all are going at once do not make
make more noise than ordinary sewing
machines.
Tho machine is operated from a key
board containing the letters OF the alpha
bet, punctuation marks and other charac-
ters used I'm newspaper work. The opera
tor plays on these keys. and the machine
does the rest. There Is no movable type
assembled, but every key struck connects
by rod with "a magazine, In which is
stored brass matrices, or female type,
which are assembled I'm "a newspaper line

in a hyphen or ends with full word ac-
cording to space. He then moves a lever
at the right of the keyboa and the as
sembled line Of matrices is instantly
raised about four inches and runs of to
the left on the delivery carriage. The op-
orator pays no further attention TO this
line, but Immediately begins setting the
next. His movement Of the lever has
locked a clutch which sets in motion a
shaft carrying ten large cams. By mocha
nism connected with these the assembled
line of matrices is justified, aligned, and
moved down and held in front of the slot
which forms the mold. The melting pot
is swung up from the rear until its noz-
zle is in contact with the rear of the mold,
and a jet of metal is forced into it, The
pot then recedes, the mold recedes a less
distance and carries the cast linotype
around past a trimming knife which cuts
on the runner on the foot of the type.
Finally it stops and the completed limo
type is pushed out by a plunger on a frame
beside the one previously completed, re-
ceiving trimming on its two sides at the
time. Meanwhile other portions Of the ma
chine have attended to distributing the
line Of matrices from which the cast has
been made.
Two slender arms reach up to the top of
the machine at the left. The right hand
one of these swings forward and down
and holds still'' while other mechanism
places the line of matrices within its
grasp. Then it swings up again, taking the
matrices, but leaving behind the space
bands, which are promptly swept into the
magazine from which they were taken
by laterally moving hook. The matrices
elevated by the arm are held in line with
the distributing channel and are pushed
into it one by one At the close of the cycle
of movements, the clutch on the cam shaft
which drove the mechanism for this com
plicated series Of operation is unlocked,
and no further movement of this part of
the machine occurs until the clutch is
again unlocked by the operator.
To justify the line plate is brought up
against the lower ends of the space bands

hours of work next morning which the
compositors by hand were compelled to
put in for nothing, to distribute the type
they had set up over night.
In fact, the operator has his whole
time to devote to getting up matter.
and he experiences a gain not merely i'm
the matter of distribution, but in correct
Ing the proofs. In the first place there
are no errors resulting from faulty dis
tributon, because the machine being per-
feet IN its action, cannot make mistakes.
II cannot set letter upside down. nor
can 1t get a wrong font.
In the present linotype machine the in
Ventor made great gain when he broke
loose from custom and substituted mat
rces Tor the types themselves. The matrlx
Is fair sized piece OF brass, which can
be handled mechanically with much
greater ease, and certainty than ordinary

the modern Hoe, spinning off 20g00 copies
of the Morning News every sixty min
utes from stereotype plates, has been wit
messed by more than one employe of the
paper.
To put out such an edition as that Of the
Morning News to-day requires not only a
thoroughly, but a perfectly equipped
newspaper office. and a system which
must equal clock-work in regularity. This
the Morning News possesses in an emil
nent degree, and II is no boast TO say that
1t is the most thoroughly equipped news
paper plant in the south. The mechanical
problem involved In putting forth the
edition Of a great newspaper is unique.
Not only must the news be put in tyus
the forms stereotyped and the papers
printed from day TO day, but these opera
tons must all be accomplished within "a
certain time limit, which the eXigencies
or publication tend constantly TO narrow

years Of costly experiment. in meeting
the most cNactng demands. The prob

one more feature Of the machine de-
serves special mention. 1t is exceedingly
remarkable for its adjustabillty and It's
automatic self-protection. For example
the same machine can use matrices for
any Of the ordinary sizes Of type and can

Again, If the operator desires several
casts of a single line, as sometimes Is the
case, he simply moves lever and the
