MAKING A NEWSPAPER.
The Editor Must Have n Very Goo,

The Editor Must Have n Very Good
The leading articles which look so
imposing and which express the policy
of paper on important subjects are
not troublesome from the point of view
Of organization The editor decides
comparatively early in the evening
what subjects shall be written about,
and he, of course, also, directs the lines
which the articles shall follow. Unless
he be very wise or very foolish man
he does not attempt to write any Of
them himself.
The editor who really edits paper
has no time to write. He is responsible
for everything and has in the last resort
to arrange everything. He or his as
sistants read every line of every proof
sheet; they have to be constantly on
the lookout for insidious errors, for
"doubles"-the same news given twice
or given previously-for matter which
should not be published and for num-
berless other equally important things.
A really competent editor is one of the
rarest men in the world, and one of the
ablest. The work of cabinet minister
cannot compare with his work. A
really good editor can direct the policy
of his paper on some essential matter
at one moment and at the next detect
turned comma" Nothing is too great
and nothing is too small for his instant
comprehension. His nerves must be of
iron or worry win kill him; he must
feel his responsibility, yet carry it
lightly; he must not harass his staff.
Above all, his liver must be ia good
order. Indeed, we think that, given
this and ability, the other qualities will
be added unto him.-Chambers' Jour.

A Small noY,r Conundrum.

Everyone in the room had given

ed variously. No one thought Of four
year-old Ted, who sat very quietly in
his corner, listening thoughtfully, and
at last he said; "I've got one, too: Why
is the Cong'ational steeple painted
brown?' Much surprised, every one
laughed, and then began to guess. All
sorts Of attempted answers were given,
but the little boy shook his head, and
explained, very seriously, when all had
"given up:" "'Cause the church Ia

DASH
The machine by which messages are
sent with an alternating current is
very simple. A narrow wheel with n
Nat, narrow periphery is kept in rota-
ton at a rate which is rapid and is
equal to an integer number of cycles.
Let us imagine, now, that the wire
carrying the message is cut in two. and
the adjacent ends are provided with
flexible metallic tips, or "brushes."
and that these two brushes rest side
by side, on the periphery of the wheel.
obviously the current will flow from
one brush into the metal of the wheel,
and thence into the other brush, so
long as the wheel remains clean. IT.
however, a little patch of paper or
other insulating material be attached
TO the periphery at a certain point. ey
cry time 1t comes around it will break
the contact between one brush and the
wheel, and thus open the circuit. AS
soon as the patch is past the connec-
tion will be restored.
This, however, was not the exact
plan really pursued. In practice a
long, narrow strip of paper was kent
In motion by the wheel, Just as belt
Is by pulley. This strip has been
previously perforated with holes of dif.
ferent lengths, long or short, and care
fully spaced. One brush rested ON TON
OF 1t, and the other pressed upward
against it from below, the two being
removed a short distance from the
wheel, and situated one directly above
the other. So long as the brushes were
separated by the paper strip no cur.
rent would flow, but when a hole pe--
mitted one to reach through and toucb
the other the current would be restor-
ed. The interruption and restorations
OF the current always occurred at tbe
zero stage, between positive and mega.
i've waves, so that no sparkling result
ed after the brushes were once adinst.
ed. The wheel p was geared to tha
dynamo so as to make one revolution
to every 1S4 half-cycles. The perforat :.
ed tape is indicated at 7. The current

typewriter automatically. What Is
called the Delany system is still more
rapid. But all these achievements and
projects are surpassed by plan de-
scribed by Lieut.. George Owen Squicr
of the Third United States artillery
and assistant professor of physics at
Dartmouth. In some experiments
conducted by Lieutenant Squier, in CO.
operation with Prof. A. G. Crehore at
Fort Monroe, a speed of 1,200 words
per minute was actually attained, and
the assertion is made that from 1900
to 5000 words a minute may be sent
by the same system between points rs
far apart as New York and Chicago.
One great novelty about the new
plan is that it utilizes an alternating
current instead Of constant one.
Now, if an alternating current be in.
terrupted, and if the interruption oc-
ours at Just the stage of an alteration
which is midway between positive
and negative wave, there will be no
spark. because the force which was
flowing in one direction subsidies to
zero before it begins to flow in the
other. What Messrs. SQuier and Gre
hore propose, then, is to interrupt
their current and restore it at just
such zero points in the oscillation as
this. But the sparks will not disap-
pear unless the make and break"
occur at precisely the right instant;
and thus simple and valuable guide
is afforded the operator in adjusting
his apparatus. When he finds that
sparkling has ceased, he knows that his
transmitter interrupts and restores the
flow at the zero stage, and is working
in perfect harmony with the particular
frequency of alienation employed.
Now. let us suppose that the Morse
alphabet, which is composed of dots
and dashes, is to be tried with this sys-
tenn. In that case break lasting from
the beginning of a positive wave until
Its end might stand for the dot, and a
break from the beginning of positive

dence through the rise and fall of the
