The Bank OF Scotland.

The Bank of Scotland, now 200 years
old, naturally sought to encourage Scot
tish industries, and this Is shown in the
first largo notes were made in 1896, 20
shilling notes, as they were termed, be-
ing only issued on April Z, l70i. In
1929 the banks paper was manufac-
tured at GifIordhall, near Haddington.
Attendants had TO be present in the
banks interest, and their account was
paid by the bank. One item was "ale
and bread furnished to the workmen,
los. and another for "drink money to
servants, ca Us. Cd" The items are
suggestive, although it is possible they
only represented drink money in name.
In 1885 the bank got its 90 shilling
banlmotes made at Collingtoun Min
(Colinton MILD, and there is an "ac-
compt for drink money" in connection
with it. A barber came twice from
Edinburgh to shave the officials and re-
ceived IS. for his professional attend
ance. Green tea must have cost at
this time 24s per pound, for in the bill
quarter pound sells for 6s. At this
Colinton mill the bank appears to have
kept all the employees in food during
the time the paper was being manufac-
tured. A man was engaged 12 days at
the paper mill in dressing meat, and he
cut up in that time 200 pounds Of it.
Meat and mutton cost only Ard. per

PRINTING BY TELEGRAPH.
An Electrical Typewriter That Transmits
Printed Characters.

The printing telegraph, though a de-
vice of comparatively recent develop
ment, has been the subject Of ceasoless
investigation, and practical workers in
electricity have directed their whole at
tention in some instances to the trans
mission of messages and the recording
of them in plain Roman characters.
Its advantages are simply those of an
electrical typewriter, by means Of which
the message is printed in the presence
of the transmitting operator in page
form, and duplicate of the same print
ed ut all the receiving stations on the
line, whether it be Il long or short cir
cult. A single transmission prints it
simultaneously in page form ready for
tho compositor's case in all the news
paper offices Of many cities
1t is said to differ materially from all
other known means of telegraphy in one
essential particular. IN it the impulses
move the instruments, whereas IN other
systems the Instruments move the I'M
pulse--that is to say, the transmitter of
the message is caused TO gun by sepa-
rate power. No combination Of cleo
trical impulse or currents is employed.
An even succession of dots or impulses,
which operate the polarized relay arma-
ture at the receiving station, places the
revolving type wheel in the required
position, when the local mechanism
causes the letter to be printed.
The apparent impossibility of trans
mitting printed characters 500 or 1000
miles over single wire at once presents
itself TO The mind, and it is overcome in
this system, it is asserted, in a very
simple way Each letter Of the alphabet
is represented by II certain number Of
impulses, which revolvo the type wheel
to the required position, when the let
ters are struck by the local mallet.
Fourteen impulses represent the en-
tire alphabet, making a complete revolu-
tion of the type wheel, which may be
turned 200 revolutions per minute, thus
securing very rapid printing. It's adym
tage also is that Of absolute secrecy as Il
means of communication. The advan-
tage of the printing telegraph for the
transmission of news to the newspaper
offices is unquestionably IL subject com

FURNISH NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS.
The business Has Grown TO Great Propor-
tions In New York.

There is a peculiar industry in Goth
am which has grown to astonishing pro-
portions This is the business Of furnish
ing newspaper clippings to individuals,
firms and corporations. There are half
dozen Of these concerns in New York,
which supply customers not only in the
United States, but in all parts of the
world. One Of these newspaper clipping
bureaus received an order from the Hn-
waiian government to send President
Dole all the notices, editorials, cartoons
and other published matter regarding
Hawaii, its government and its affairs.
Every prominent author, actor, poll
ticinn and professional man is now n
subscriber To one or more of the clip
ping bureaus, and busy man finds the
system very convenient, for he is ena-
bled, as it We're, to read his newspapers
by proxy.
The manager Of New York clipping
bureau III speaking Of the peculiarites
of his business said yesterday: "Many
of our customers are folks with fads
and hobbies A man sent us an order
recently for all items about two headed
calves, three legged chickens and other
monstrosities. A leading politician on

which he could compile Fourth of Ju-

With practice he began to be bolder,
and he wrote copies Of verses on every
day events, and also little ballads. One
of these, written when he was II, his
eldest sister liked so well that she sent
It to the weekly paper of Newburyport,
Tho Free Press, then recently started by
William Lloyd Garrison. She did this
without telling her brother, and no one
was more surprised than he when he
opened the paper and found his own
verses in 'Ihe Poets Corner" " He was

The editor Of The Free Press was only
three years older than the poet, although
far more MIXTURE. He did more for the
young mau than merely print these boy
ish verses, for he went to Whittier's
father and urged the need Of giving the
youth little better education. To do
this was not possible then, but two
