q year. The works were then removed
to Blackhawk, Wis, where the same his

Bonesteel and Otto, arrangements were
made for the immediate erection OF the
works at. Alvarado. After running for
four years at loss. owing to the incom-
potency Of the technical managers. the
works were closed down and finally re-
moved to Soquel Cal, where the same
experience was repeated and the enter

by the old company at Alvarado, and un-

other enterprises offered such induce

that the Standard Sugar company was
organized, with a capital stock of 5000.

the start. The profits Of the first four
campaigns were $104. 900. this being the
first sugar made in the United States

prevented. The advantage OF using
glass for type, which will keep its sharp
ness for much longer time, since glass
is not as subject to wear as metal. Is,
therefore, effectively achieved with this
invention. The innovation has been
practically tested, and at the present
moment may be produced in unlimited
quantities at comparatively small cost.
The demand for type is enormous and
type foundries turn out millions OF type
per year. In the COS all printers type
had to be finished by hand. At that
time an output of 1000 type per day was
considered very large. The first type
making machine. invented by David
Bruce, in 1898, could turn out 10000
type, while the Jr. R. Johnson machine,
patented in 1853, finished daily about
$4,000 type, turning it out ready for
use. The latest invention in this field
was the double type machine of the
Frenchman Foucher, which turns out
almost 10000 day. By the system of
PiIz it will be possible to turn out from
100000 to 10000 type per day on the
three machines necessary to produce his
combined rubber and glass type Phil.

GLASS-PLATED TYPE.

The. replacing of metal type by type
made of glass is being seriously cOnsid-
cred since it has been found practicable
to produce glass type. Since printers
type Is locked and held together solidly
in frames, type consisting of one piece
of glass was not found to work svtisfac-
torily. as the material was found to be
too brittle 70 Withstand the pressure.
The material, however, is so much
cheaper and will save so much time in
the manufacture of type that the use of
glass was not given up when it was
found that it was not entirely available
for the purpose.
Wilhelm Pilz of Johannesburg, near
Gablonz, the center of the Bohemian
glass industry, has now patented very
remarkable invention. He proposes to
make the body of the type of hard rub
