that it was with pleasure that he noted the
progress the Circle was making; the higher tone
of the papers read. the trend of thought along
the line of better things and better deeds were
evidence of faithful study. After d few words

WHAT THE LINOTYPE WILL DO
To appreciate the achievements Of
the Linotype as a piece of mechanism
il is necessary to consider the number
of different operations which IL per-
forms. In every factory a great many
processes are carried on by machinery.
but IL is usually done by passing the
material worked upon from one ma
chine TO another, as happens in the
making of boot or shoe; IL is one
form of division Of labor. But with the
Linotype there is nothing Of this kind !:
all the processes are performed by one
machine. or IL you prefer TO put IT in
that way. by many machines combined
in one. These are some Of the things
which the Linotype does:

spaces separate themselves from the
matrices. and then up again to the
distributor.
The mold wheel. X. has a slot of
mold proper. which extends from the
front to the rear face. The entire row
OF characters in the matrix line is
presented directly opposite the face Of
the mold or slot. so that when the mold
is filled with metal to produce a slug
or linotype, the metal will flow into
the matrices. which produce their re-
spective type characters in relief on
the edge OF the casting.
Behind the mold wheel there is ar
ranged a pot. NJ, in which type metal
is maintained in molten condition by
a flame from a gas burner beneath.
The pot has a delivery mouth or chan
mel adapted to fit against and close
the rear face of the mold. a mechani-
cally operated pump plunger helps to
force the metal out into the mold. Aft
er the line of matrices is locked against
the face of the mold. the plunger for

SHE "TuMBLED."
The Little Lecture That the Colonel Gave
Was Necessary.

Did you ever see a bird like that
nlive?" demanded the colonel of the
young man who sat next To him.
He was staring at the strange speci-
men on the hat in front. which cut OFT
his view of the stage, says the New
York Recorder.
Tho woarer of the hat became in
tensely interested i'm the play. and the
chivalrous young man glared at the
colonel savagly. but made no reply.
II say. did you ever see such a bird
alive?" repeated the colonel, nudging
the young man vigorously TO enforce
his attention. Then he answered him
self.
mo. sir: no such bird ever lived
Look at that combination of colors.
Nature isn't good enough as pattern
for these milliners. They must have
impossible combinations and devise
birds whose colors would give an ornl-
biologist the nightmare
The young man glared. The wearer
of the hat became nervous.
"There's a whole lot of sentiment
wasted over the slaughter of song birds
for millinery purposes" continued the
colonel Very few song birds or any
other kind are killed. They are not
wanted Nature could not supply birds
with such. bills and tails and colors as
these women want. It's the same thing
i'm flowers. why. | know woman who
insists on having the rose in her hat
dyed blue. because blue is more becom-
ing to her"
Apparently no one was listening to
him, but the colonel knew that the
wearer OF the hat was not missing a
word.
Il like to see a pretty hat" he went
on but when | see an impossible bird
like that one IL loses all interest for
me It's like seeing a well-dressed man
wearing a celluloid collar. It's looks
cheap"
The woman in front turned slightly
and looked furiously at the colonel. but
he apparently didn't see her. and con-
tinuCd just as the courtain was going
down on the first act:
You see natural birds are expensive.
They cost three times as much as these
inventions of the milliners, made up Of
rubber. wire. glass and dyed goose
feathers. That hat is a beauty. and
1 should say 1t cost n good price IL IL
did not have that artificial bird on IL.
That makes me suspect it's all show
and probably cheap"
Then the colonel went out to see a
man" When re returned the hat was
gone. It's owner held II on her lap. The
colonel chuckled to himself those a bout
him smiled and the woman in front
was apparently deeply engrossed in
the ads in her programme.-Chica

The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1895-05-26

All these operations are performed
mechanically and very quickly. and,
strange to say. the linotype just cast is
cool enough to pick up in the naked
hand. But IL is not necessary to handle
IL, as il falls in the place where il is
wanted to make up, with it's mates, a
column of type.
DISTRIBUTING THE MATRICES.
The next thing is 10 distribute the
matrices into their proper channels,
ready for use again, and this the Won
derful machine also does automatically.
An eccentric brings down a long-armed
lever Just at the right moment. and the
matrices are lifted. and separated from
their spaces: the latter go to the posi-
ton J., and the matrices, after a mo-
ment's pause, are carried on. along
the dotted line route, to the distributor
bar.
To see the matrices carried with in
fallible correctness. each 10 its proper
channel. and dropped therein. seems to
the novice the most startling part of
the whole performance; il looks so much
like the display of human intelligence
by mere machine. But it is accom-
plished by a very simple device. Each
matrix (see cut No. - has the teeth.
B. in its upper end arranged in peculiar
order or number, according to the let
ter which it bears. In other words. a
matrix bearing any given litter differs
as to the number or arrangement Of its
teeth. from a matriX bearing any other
letter. and these teeth are relied upon
as the means for effecting the distribu-
ton.
A rigid metal bar. T, is fixed in posi-
ton above the open upper ends Of the
magazine channels. and is formed at it's
lower edge with longitudinal teeth or
ribs adapted to engage the teeth of the
matrices and hold the latter in sus-
pension. The ribs of the distributor
