He Is Among the Most Exclusive and
Aristocratic of Birds.
The season for shooting woodcock II
now open In all or nearly all the States.
and the real enthusiastic sportsmen
will try to bag this wary bird. that Is a
migrator here to-day and there to-mor-
row, as uncertain In his likes and dis
likes as 1t Is when on the wing. Many
d man has seen numbers of wo0dc0ck
along some favored spot and gone there
In day or two with dog and gun only
to find the birds had vanished. Their
habits are peculiar, their surroundings
unique, and their capture the most
difficult of any of the game birds In
middle America.
AS a game bird the woodcock has no
equal for the table and In autumnal
coloring, the rich browns, yellows. and
dark reds, he Is beyond doubt the hand
somest Of the birds the sportsman seeks.
Itcis.a very fair days work to bring
in eight birds, for they never go TN
focks, and are scarce and harder to ind
than any other game. They live In the
brushy thickets, near wet grounds, In
alder bushes, along little runs" or
brooks, and on islands along river bot
toms. They must have soft soil to live
on, and plenty of 1t, for they are enor-
nous feeders. They reed mostly at

have been made on regular newspaper

is very common. The linotype is guar
hour and good operators constantly set
from 1000 to 5000 ems per hour.
Records of $500, 10000 and 1900 have
already been made. All the large dali
les In the country, over 300 small dali
les, and n large number of book and
job printing offices now have the ma
chimes in use. Over 1900 have been
sold in the United States within the
past six years.
Since perfecting the machine the in
ventor has devoted his time to i'm
provements, in making 1t meet the needs
Of every branch of the printing trade.
1t is now possible to change the face Of
the type on a machine in ten minutes
and substi any of the smaller or
reading type, such as agate" mon.
pareil," "minion," 'brevier," "long
primer" ''small pica," and italics. Ev-
cry machine can be fitted with two
molds, n solid" and 'leaded' body,
which can be interchanged in a moment
and with supply Of molds and maya
zines on hand, one machine can be
made to turn out any of the faces
above mentioned on any length Of mold.
1t will be surprise to learn that the
machine occupies space of only five
feet square, weighs less than 1000
pounds, and requires only one-fourth
horse e-power-steam or electricity-to
operate it. The gas jets used to keep
the type metal in a molten state con-
sumo less than fifteen feet an hour,
and after an operator has become ac-
quainted with his machine, the SER
vices of a machinist are not required
In large Offices, of course, where speed
and time are the great consideration,
machnists are required to care for the
machines. Though twenty years were
spent in creating the linotype, it was
only few years ago considered per-
feet. 1t Is, therefore, in its infancy.
The inventor has but begun to produce
a radical change in the printing world
which the superiority of his invention
will complete in few years.

AFRAID OF TWO CORPSES.
An Experience of Burns, Who Guards
Millions Across the Continent.

An lex xperiencc of Burns, Who Guards
Millions Across the Continent.
Col. J. III. Burns, Of San Francisco,
has guarded so much government gold
across the continent that he could not
count it IN lifetime-not If the sixty
five years he has already spent on earth
were doubled. The sum amounts into
the hundreds of millions. Only last
week he arrived in New York in charge
of a Wells-Fargo express car in which
$1,000,000 of gold and $4,000 in silver
was packed for transfer from the SUBJ
treasury IN San Francisco to the sub
treasury in New York. The schedule
of such trip is always kept profound
secret, to avert robbery. For thirty
years Burns has been engaged in this
