derson is meant to take the place OF
same time making a record which can
be read by anyone.
Mr.. Anderson says that in his stud
les, made in preparation for devising
this machine, he found the speed of
operating the ordinary typewriter was
clearly limited by the fact that but
one key could be touched at a time
and but one character printed at a
time, while with each of these opera
lions the feeding and shifting mechan-
ism had to be moved. BY a lingering
system which would bring all the fin
gers into play these operations might
be FASTENED, but not enough. On the
other hand if all the fingers could be
made available at once to select the
letters for word and then the word
be printed with a single stroke of
the hand, he believed the nee
essary speed would be obtained
to take speeches. testimony or cores
pondence from dictation instead of
having to use pen or pencil and short
hand characters This is the kind of
machine he has made.
All the letters and characters that
are to be printed are to be found
n arked upon the sixteen keys which
lie next to one another within the four
these keys without touching either of
the outer keys, you will find that you
have printed the letter or character
which is marked on the end nearest
the operator. Now, if you want to
print any of the letters in the second
line, you can do it by pressing at the
same time upon one of the outer keys,
which are marked ICONS line 2" or
vows line g" which bring forward
either the consonants or vowels as
they may be wanted. So, also, with
line 3. Figures are printed by using
the fingers of the right hand while
pressing a lever at the left of the head
of the machine.
The sixteen keys are so arranged
that they can be reached and operated
IN pairs. so that one finger can press
down either one or both keys of each
pair.
1t is not commended that accurate
spelling can always be done or that
writing can be produced which would
do for correspondence; But it is al
ways possible to do phonetic spelling,
and at each stroke to print either the
whole of word or a great part of it.
The printing apparatus is cast on
segments of a circle, like those in the
Hammond typewriter, but very much
smaller. These segments lie just over
the back ends of the keys, with one
line of letters over each key. The
shifting keys merely turn those seq
ments to expose the proper line of
type, and then when the keys are
pressd they bring the paper and ink
ribbon up against the type and make
the imprint. With each movement
the paper is fed forward the width Of

3EQUEATHS HIS BIRTHDAY.

The following charming story is told
of the late Robert Louis Stevenson. He
was visiting friend, afterward consul
to Samoa, in northern Vermont. This
gentleman had little daughter about
II years old, who very speedily became
a devoted friend of the novelist. In
Touring forth her joys and sorrows in
existence, she confded to Mr.. Steven
son the woeful fact that she was born
on Feb. 20, and therefore had enjoyed
only two birthdays in all her eleven
years. The poet sympathized, not only
in comforting words, but also in action.
He meditated a few moments. then
went to her writing desk and drew UP
the following document: Il. Robert
Louis Stevenson, in a sound state OF
mind and body. having arrived at that
age when no longer have any use for
birthdays, do give and bequeath my

George X. Anderson of Brooklyn, who

been made by inventors to devise a

Rosenau and the port quarantine regu-

even more formidable than the little

first took charge of the ship he essayed
to take her across the bar, but was OBJ

They ran faster and further than they
reckoned. 1t was thick as well as
stormy and, when they had every rea-
son to believe they had plenty of sea
room, the Farallones suddenly loomed
up ahead of them, not biscuit throw

situation in a moment and, by his
prompt action, saved the vessel from

dangerous rocks, but before he got out

cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given en-

This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventive OF
pneumonia. Among the many thou

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE
MAGISTRATE JANVIER'S ANSWER.

SAYS FARM TENANTS ARE NOT
THE SUFFERERS THAT FARM
OWNERS ARE.
"The mere I think about the ques-
tion asked on the New Castle Evening
Journal page last week. said Magls-
trate Janvier last night, "the more /
think that the questloner was not a
farm owner at all"
The question referred to was the fol-
lowing, which appeared in the Eveni-g
Journal of Thursday, March IL:
HOW CAN THE TENANT LIVE?
A well-known farmer, who owns his
place. stopped reporter to-day in front
Of the Now Castle post office and put
the following question:
How can a farm owner, like myself,
who cannot get enough to live on from
the income of the farm, move off into
the city and expect to get the half of
every egk of every chicken, and Of
every car Of corn from the place from
his tenant, and expect the unfortunate
fellow to keep up all fences and keep
white-washing, something he himsef
has never been able to dO?'
MY answer 10 that question is this, %
said the magistrate, who owns several
of the finest and prettiest farms in New
Castle county: 1T is easier on the ten
ant and he can live better now than
ten years ago Rents are lower-m mort
gage interest is not; the land owner has
to keep paying the same high rate of
interest and taxation, insurance and re-
pair.
"Help Is lower and farmers are saved
great trouble and immense cost by con-
stantly improving labor-saving ma
chinery. Chickens and eggs are pro-
duced at absolutely no cost to the far
mer; they simply develop on the waste
OF the farm.
"But the last part of the question is
easier than any. From time immemor-
ial tenants have only expected the ma
terial and lime from the landlord and
they would take pride in keeping up
and whitewashing the fences. Now
there are still 365 days in the year, and
four seasons during which this can be
done by anybody but an indolent far
mer."
