that way, by many machines combined in one These are some of the things which the linotype does:
 l. Composes the line of matrices.
 2. Spaces out the line.
 3. Carries it to the mold and locks 1t in place.
 4. Runs the metal into the mold and makes the type line.
 5. Pushes the line out of the mold.
 6. Planes and trims the line.
 2. Throws out the waste metal. s. Transports the finished line to the galley and drops 1t into the right position.
 9. Keeps the metal in molten condition, ready for use.
 10. Separates the spaces from the line of the matrices
 Il. Lifts the matrices to the distribu- ting bar.
 12 Spaces out, or, rather, separates the matrices by proper interval prepara- tory to distributing them.
 13 Forwards the matrices to the mouths of their respective channels and drops them therein.
 IT. Leads the line automatically. All of the machines, however are not arranged to do this. as the leading of the type lines can be done very quickly by hand. The machines used by the Age-Herald have an additional appliance by which the matter may be set either leaded or solid
 15. Stops running as soon as any part of the mechanism gets out of order.
 IhlS last IS point or some importance, as any one will recognize if he will stop to think of the consequences of breakage in a machine as fine as rhis Half the time the first remark of a person who is shown one of the machines is, That looks very complicated; I should thinkat would get out of order easily" But the. linotype machine runs for years with few serious accidents, which shows that it is not fragile, and one reason is that it is provided with ali-the latest i'm proved safety appliances. There are sev- eral automatic throw-offs, so that if a line, of matrices is too full there is dead halt, or If in the distributing process a letter falls out of place the motion of the apparatus stops so quickly that the thin est piece of brass is not even bent In

 addition to these safety devices the power exerted by the friction belt is so graduated that it Is just sufficient to drive the machine in its normal condi- tion; if unusual resistance is opposed, as would be the case If something got out of order, the belt would slip, while the ma chine would stand still.
 Advantages.
 The advantages of machine compost tion are various and valuable. Speed, accuracy, economy, neatnesS of appear ance, etc. With the linotype a news paper has a new dress of type every day; there is no printing with battered and worn out type; the faces of the letters are clean and distinct. Printing can be done, either from the linotypes or from stereotype plates made therefrom. The Age-Herald stereotypes its forms. a ne cessary process, as the stereotype forms must be cyclindricaI in order to be used on the perfecting press.
 By avoiding the necessity for distribu- tion by hand the most tedious part of the printers labor is abolished. 4 piece work compositor on a daily paper after devoting seven hours or more to compost tion, must spend two or three hours more, for which he is paid nothing. in throwing in," or distributing. type, in order to be ready for the next days work. With the machine this labor Is avoided, as the distribution goes on con- currently with the composition. More over, operating the machine Is so much pleasanter work than setting type by hand that no printer would willingly go back to the latter.
 One of the incidental advantages of machine set matter which printers will appreciate is that it will not "pi." Nov able types have to be handled very gin- gerly, or they will fall down in com posed matter" and cause delay. A single small letter is likely to "pi'' a whole column. But with the linotypes there can be no ''pi" and thus another of the worst miseries of the printers life is banished.
 As. we have already explained, when the operator makes a mistake in setting up line 1t is necessary to set up a new line. but that does not imply so much time and trouble in making corrections as might be supposed, for the same printer will make fewer errors upon the machine than in hand-setting. There are no "turned letters or wrong font" letters, which two classes comprise a very large part of all the errors made by hand compositor. Again, the line of matrices Is set up in front of the op- orator. so that If an omission, transpo- sition or other mistake occurs. 1t may be corrected in an instant before the line is cast. Tables of figures are set as readily by the machine as any other kind of matter.
 It is not difficult to learn to operate the linotype; no more so. perhaps, than the ordinary typewriter. Any intelligent person can soon learn to operate 1t, but a printer who has had experience in typesett1ng by hand has the advantage Inside. of @ week, or sometimes after a single days experience with machine.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-04-14

such a person can set as fast as he could by hand, and from that time on his speed increases steadily. In e couple of months he can set three or four times as fast, and at the end of a year he is an experienced operator.
 Experience with the machine has tended to show that, unlike most inven- tions, they do more than was expected of them, rather than less; 1t Is said that @ majority of newspapers, in buying ma chimes. have purchased more than they found they needed when their operators became expert. With the expert opera tors the Age-Herald could be set with three machines. but to provide for ex- pansion of its business five machines nave been put in and with the growth of Birmingham and the constantly en-

 work the full force of printers whom it previously employed"
 In the Age Herald office 1t was decided to give preference to our regular force of printers. Expert operators from abroad offered their services and it would have been convenience as well as a pecuniary advantage to employ skilled men from the start, but the ties that bind the Age-Herald to it's employees are stronger than monetary considerations. During the past week the men se- lected by the foreman to operate the ma chimes have been engaged in learning their new vocation. The operators are making gratifying progress and we now feel at liberty to invite the public to visit the Age-Herald establishment and see the new process of making a newspaper.
 One feature of the changed conditions that is
 Favorable to Employees
 Is shorter hours of work, and on the av- craze an increased compensation. For merly the compositors were paid by piece work" now by wages. iSo to sum up the effect of introduction of machines upon the printers who remain employed it is a gain all around-better pay. shorter hours and easier and pleasanter work.
 More Intelligent Labor.
 As incidental effects of machine com position it might be noted that there will be tendency to raise the standard of re- quirements. both educationally and mor- ally, among printers. A typesetter whose spelling was poor, or whose ability to understand "copy" was defective, might be endured when his errors had to be cor rected at his own expense, but with the abandonment of the piece work system, which generally accompanies introduc- tion of machines. the uneducated or stu Did printer becomes too expensive to his ny n ern orr liar reasons there will be no room for the incorporate or unreliable printers no en- ployer will care to trust such with q S3000 machine.

Plain Copy Essential.

Typesetting machines increase the ne- cessity for plainly written copy. Here after the chances of manuscripts being accepted for publication will be greatly enhanced if legibly written; or, better yet, typewritten. Formerly when a com positor groaned, and sometimes swore, over poor writing, the time lost in try ing to decipher discreditable scrawls and faint pencil marks was that of one man only, but with the machine. which does the work of four men, it is equivalent to the loss of the time of four men, and the attendant expense of power fuel, etc. the time being the most serious of all
 Therefore not only the editorial staff and paid correspondents are required to fur nish good copy. but our friends, the pub lie. are implored to prepare their contri- buttons with care, and, where practica- ble. to furnish typewrittenr manuscript.

Effect on Writers for the Press.

Neither will the machines be without their effect upon the style of written lan- guage. In order to make the machine as compact and convenient as possible both small capital and italic letters are omit ted, so that henceforth they will disap-s pear from newspapers. As to small cap itals they are a loss which no one will mind, but it might require a little argu- ment to persuade a majority of readers that the English language can be as we'll printed without italics. However the use of italics was rapidly going out be- fore the machines came in: the idea that the names of newspapers and of ships must be printed in italics was seen to be serious one; editors have for a dozen years made it rule to scratch out the underscores which emphatic correspond ents drew beneathstheir words. and some newspapers which are hand-set never use an italic letter. The most reasonable use for italics was in printing foreign words, but the denial of this privilege. may lead to the abandonment of such words or to their anglicization, either of which events would be a blessing Cor respondents of the Age-Herald who in dulge the underscore habit will there fore please take notice that readers can
 no longer have statements crammed down their throats by a tipsy crowd of reeling italics"

Peasant Farmer of Lancashire.

He may not be an ideal farmer from
the scientific point of view. There is
too much rule of thumb, too great a
want of precision, too close an adher-
ence to old fashioned ways in his farm
ing to please an expert. He has no pre-
tension to the infinite care with which
the French or SWISS peasant will utilize
every scrap of ground. He has many
things to learn, even in such simple
matters as breeds of fowls, management
of orchards and the various kinds Of
fruit trees, and outstanding of manure
But there is one subject at least in which
he is able to teach all the rest of Eng
land, and that is attention to small
things. 1t is, in truth, the little things
on which he depends for an appreciable
part of his livelihood.
He is never above turning siXpence if
he does not see his way to make half
crown; his wife is not too important to
tie up dozen penny nOsegays and stand
half day on the street selling them
camomile from the lane, and if none of
the dyspeptic townsfolk are in the hu-

Saturday, why, at worst there is moth

farmer better deserves his success; none

rem of the south and the midlands.-

The UnSDeakable Turk.

The unspeakable Turk began to be the
sick man $50 years ago. He has been
very sick indeed several times since.
This time it really does look as if he
was sick unto death. But [ don t
know. Perhaps it is only another attack
from which he will rally. Perhaps be-
fore these words are printed he may be
in extremis. For many reasons we must
of course ardently desire his removal,
bag and baggage, with all that is his, and
as ardently we must desire that he may
never come back again. Yet we must
agree that he has made the most pic
turesque history possible. What are the
wars of England and France compared
with the wars between one Christian
power after another with the grand
Turk? His cruelties, his despOtism, his
harem, his galleys and galley slaves, his
famous bodyguard, are they not all pic
lures in the page of history? Surely
some gratitude is due to the Moslem for
those things. He fights like a bulldog;
he sacks towns and murders every man,
woman and child in them; his virtues
are our vices he practices things which
we abhor; you can never hope to make
Christian of him; out of all the west
ern arts he takes only those which min
lister to his pleasures. In fact, everything
1aat goes to the making of a picture is
to be found i'll the life, the character and
the history of the Turk. Let him go
by all means. suppose that as soon as
the powers are agreed upon the future
of Constantinople he will CO. But when
will that agreement arrive? And, to re-
peat, I doubt once more whether the
sick man is really sick unto DEATH

Falconry In As;a

The exhibition at Tashkent in 1891
included department of the chase. in
which the most distinguished falcon
teams of Turkestan figured prominently.
The Khan of Khiva was an exhihitor
and was represented by his best birds
and his most skillful falconers Instead
of allotting the prizes, according to the
most usual plan, to the best looking
birds, matches were instituted and the
relative merit of the composing birds
was determined by the test of what they
could do. had an opportunity on this
occasion to make thorough studv of
the technical details Of a sport which I
had already practiced under different
circumstances.
Such large birds as the eagle ere
trained for falconry in Turkestan and
are used for the capture Of foxes, ga
zelles, antelopes, and even, it is said,
deer. They are SO heavy that the falcon
er is not able to carry them on his arm
alone and has to support them on q
wooden prop, the base of which is at
tached to his saddle.
According to the Arabian traditions,
the training of the falcon to hult was
hrst accomplished by an inhabitant of
Mosul, but the training Of the eagle has
been practiced by the Chinese and the
Mongols from an antiquity much more
remote than the Arabian period, and
falconry was probably introduced into
Turkestan from the north of China, and
then into Persia, perhaps by some Hun
nish people.
Falconry is SO deeply established i'll
Turcoman life that people in modest
conditions and even children engage in
it. A favorite winter game of the chill
dren in the streets of Samarkand and
other large cities of central Asia consists
in setting in flight crows which are
held by long strings tied to the hand and
practicing the exercises Of falconry with
them.-Popular Science Monthly.
