And Has Almost Completely Upset the Art and Mystery of Guttenburg.
IT IS THE MERGtNTHALtR LINOTYPE
Now in Operation in the Age-Herald Com posing Room-Aocurate Description of the Complex and Almost
 Human Mechanism.

For the past eight or ten years we have been watching the progress of re- marlable invention destined to revolu- tionize typesetting,> and which Is known as the Mergenthaler Linotype. The ma chine derives its name, linotype" very appropriately. from the fact that It sets up and casts a line of type. The name indicates the completed process. The machine, under the hands of the opera tor at the key board, sets up one line Of brass matrices, upon one edge of which the letters of the alphabet, figures and other characters, are indented, and then when the matrices have been set they are automatically conveyed to another part of the machine where casting is made which, when complete, is solid metal, upon one side of which are re- verse impressions of the letters of the matrices. This solid line casting is then

ready to be placed, with others, in the forms, the same as the line Of type were formerly placed in making up the pa per for the stereotyper and pressman.

UNITED GLOBE MINES. Work To Begin at an
 Early Day. The Coke Is Now En Route
 to Globe. The Company Win Be Ready to Smelt Copper. Within
 Sixty Days.

Globe Silver Belt: Rumors were rife for several days that the United Globe mines had ordered coke and would begin operations at an early day.
 President Garland brought the first confrmatory news, and on Thursday he received positive assurance by let ter from A. C. Laird, his secretary, that such was the fact.
 Prof. James Douglas, president of the United Globe mines, was at Bowie station on the 18th inst, and informed Secretary Laird that his company had accepted the rates of transportation offered by the Gila alley, Globe & Northern railroad; that coke had been ordered, and that the monthly ship ments of coke would average 250 tons per month. The. first consignment of coke is expected to reach Bowie station the latter part of next week.
 We learn from B. H. Cook, the local agent of the United Globe mines, that a small order has also been placed with Frazer & Chalmers for ma chinery.
 The decision to commence opera tions was rather suddenly taken, and, consequently no preparations have been made for smelling. The smelling plant, consisting of two 30-ton fur naces, will require overhauling; an en- zine house and ore bins will have to be built, and other improvements made before smelting can be begun and this preparatory work will require about sixty days.
 The United Globe mines are the largest owners of copper property in Globe district, their claims numbering about sixty, many of them very prom ising prospects, and desirably located in the Globe copper belt, adjacent to the Old Dominion Copper company's s properties. The best developed of their numerous claims is the Buffalo, which was operated by Gen. A. A. Mo Donel from 1879 to 1883, and later was worked under lease by Messrs. Liber- man and Trippel, and produced con siderable copper.
 Development work has been in pro gress continuously during the past year on some of the most promising claims, and copper developed in sev- eral of them. The chief difficulty will be getting the ore to the smelter cheaply, which can be overcome by the improvement and construction of roads and such provision as the com pany may adopt for rapid transit.
 The. United Globe mines are under the same control as the Copper Queen, of Bisbee, a company noted for its ib- erality and progressive methods, and there is every reason to believe that the local concern will work their mines on a large scale and in time be- come one of the largest producers of copper in Arizona.

A MODERN ORPHEUS.
The Effect of Violin Music Upon the
Beasts at the Zoo.

Does the legend Of Orpheus, the won
drous music of whose Tyre enthralled
the wild beasts of the forest, rest upon
a fact? Not long ago Mr.. Cornish went
to the London Zoo to ascertain by ex-
pertinent what effect music would have
upon the creatures there in captivity.
He took with him musical friend,
who played on the violin to insects, rep
tiles, birds, and beasts, and 10! the
fancy Of the classic poets who ages ago
sung about Orpheus and his Tyre is
turned into scientific fact. The New
York Tribune, in a review Of "Wild Ami
mails in Captivity" the book wherein
Mr. Cornish tells of his musical expert
ments, says: The tarantulas listened,
or did not listen, unmoved and sulky.
They whose bite is said in fable to
make others dance, refused to dance
themselves. Not so the scorpions.
After few notes had been played they
became agitated, and writhed and
danced unanimously, their excitement
increasing with every crescendo and de-
creasing with each diminuendo. In the
reptiles more marked effects were SEEN
The monitor lizard listened and swayed
Its head in time with the music. Black
snakes were attentive, and started up
and Kissed at every sudden discord. A
boa crept as close as possible to the in
strument and seemed enraptured. But
OF all snakes, the cobra is reputed to be
most susceptible to music, and the one
experimental upon at the Zoo did not
belle its fame. On hearing the violin 1t
raised itself in the traditional attitude,
on its tail, spread its hood, and gently
swayed to and fro. With every change
In the character of the music its attitude
and expression changed. At tremolo
passage 1t puffed its body out. At
bagpipe "drone" its hood was expanded
to the utmost, and at every sharp dis
cord 1t fiinched as IL 1t had been struck
with stick. The first quadrupeds to
which this modern Orpheus played were
polar and grizzley bears, which mani
tested much pleasure, stood up at the
front of the cage to listen and fiinched
at discord.

Cross-Bred Fowls.-In England quite

But the fanciers are more careful now,
and we believe that better and harder
stock Is being grown. We prefer pure
bred poultry, but want them profitable.
We do not care for high scores when
we are aiming at supplying a market

reason the cross-bred question was
raised. But let the fanciers continue
to aim az utility and hardness, and the
bottom will drop out of the idea of

Pekin Ducks,

There Is probably no branch of the
poultry business more profitable than
duck raising, yet but comparatively
few farmers will admit these big white
beauties to their premises. The wives
would like to keep them, for their
feathers are light and elastic, and
every way as desirable as goose festh-
ers, and while the goose lays but few
eggs the duck lays a great many. The
great objection raised against ducks is
tnat they foul the horse troughs, and
the majority of the eggs are lost, for
1t is OF no use to give a Pekin duck
nest or nest eggs. She lays wherever
1t happens.
To keep ducks successfully and with
out annoyance about watering troughs
small pen is necessary. Their house
need not be fine affair nor the yard
expensive. A fence two feet high will
hold them, and twelve feet square is
ample for dozen or fifteen ducks. In
side the yard may be placed a trough.
An inexpensive trough may be made
by taking two pieces of 2x10 scantling
four feet long. Round them up at each
end like sled runners. Take piece of
galvanized iron two feet wide and nail
1t to the rounding sides of the scant-
ling. To make it stronger nail pieces
or 2x4s across each end. This makes
q very convenient trough to clean, for 1t
can be rocked back and forth to clean
1t. A pipe from the windmill supplies
ours with water. Our trough has been
In constant use for six years and looks
good for several years more. Ducks
soon become accustomed to their home,
and after their gate is opened in the
morning-it ought not be opened before
10 o'clock during the haying season
they will go forth in search of bugs,
etc., but frequent return visits will be
made to that trough. The eggs should
be gathered before they are given their
liberty, and they should always be CIV
en- breakfast in their pen.
The best food for laying ducks is
scalded bran and the table scraps. En-
s1lage will be eaten greedily by the
ducks. Raw carrots are good food.
Very little grain will be consumed If
green food and table scraps are fur
nished. Ducklings are very easy to
manage, but a mistake sometimes costs
the loss OF large flock. They are best
raised in brooders even if Matched
under hens. For years we have no ar
tificial heat for ducks, but we would do
30 If we raised them in large numbers.
They can stand more cold than a chick
en-, but we cover ours when the weather
Is bad, only letting them out of their
box to eat. We feed them every two
hours until they are several weeks old.
Open water dishes are disastrous to
ducklings. They get wet, roll over on
their backs and die. We have never
been very particular what we fed the
ducklings-bread crumbs, cold pota-
toes, scalded corn chop and table scraps;
only feed often and keep them clean.
Lice is sure death to ducklings. If
Matched under hens oil their heads as
soon as Matched. Inbreeding is great
cause Of failure in duck raising. You
may inbred chickens and have fair
success, but ducks never. They take fits
and die. 1t is poor economy to try to
get on with the stock on hand to save
expense.-Betsy Trotwood in Western
Stock Journal

Cost to Start.

In sharp contrast to the columns of
rot which are published in the agricul-
tural press regarding the large profits
to he realized from few dollars in
vested in the poultry business, Is the
following from Farm Poultry, in an
swer to a question from a correspond
ent, in which the editor clearly points
out what margin of profit may reason
ably be looked for:
Can the poultry business be started
with $350?"
Eyes, it can be started, but we imag-
in that start and for that amount of in
vestment our friend expects to be sup
ported, and Of course, wants all
the other expenses met. 1t cannot
be done. Three hundred and fifty
dollars is no money at all to invest in
any business unless the operator ex
poets to find himself Three hundred
and fifty dollars at 6 per cent interest
would earn $21 year.
as it not good business that would
give IL per cent interest? Yet that
would only be $42 year. How many
businesses are paying IL per cent?
Poultry will, but $42 not being enough
for a living, the capital must be in
creased.
How much of henhouse can be
built for 800? At 81 a running foot, it
Is easy to figure out 50-foot HENRY.
Divide this into five pens, and put ten
fowls in each pen, and there will be
quarters for just forty-ive hens and
FIVE cockerels.
Zone hundred hens at 81 profit each
would give but 5000 year clear money
On the entire collection. Could one live
on that amount?
But there are more who only make
81 head profit than that double the
amount. 1t requires experience to
oring out big results, just like any other
business.
Now, If our inquirer has some other
occupation for living and will start
as we suggest he can gradually build
up paying business.
