THE ELECTRIC PRINTERY

are added to the pulp, and are so cheap
as 10 make no apprciable increase in cost
The paper does not depreciate by keeping
in stock, and will be supplied to the print
er by the company in the usual form of
reams and reels. Licenses will be granted
on moderate terms to papermakers, so that
there will be no necessity for changing the
usual source of supply. The saving TO The
printer who adopts electrical printing is,
primarily, in the cost of ink, and in time
and labor.
Under the first, an estimate worked out
by a London printer, taking as basis
one years work of one machine double
royal size), showed saving in the one item
of ink alone of considerably over 90 per
cent on the cost of production, after pay
ing for the license to use the process and
for the current consumed.
Under the second item there is the saw
ing of half the time of the machine mama
ger and his tender. now occupied in keep
ing up and regulating the supply of ink and
its proper application in the right quanti-
ties to the printing surface, and in frequent
stoppages to clean out the forms of type Or
blocks. This considerable economy of time
would allow of his experimenting two ma
chimes instead Of one, as now. There is
also the saving of the feeders time in
cleaning up the ink tables, ink ducts. ETC.,
washing rollers and forms, etc.
There Is the saving of turps, I've and
other cleaning fluids, oil. ink, reducers,
cleaning rags, I've, maintenance OF rollers
There is the gain in increased cleanliness
and comfort in working. and the absence OF
turps, oily rags, etc., should lessen the
chance of fires and cause decrease in In
surance premiums.
It is also a notable economic feature tina;
all machines now in use can be adapted al
small cost for electrical inkiess printing

CHICAGO'S DEATH RATE.
A Marked Increase in Diphther1a,
ConsumDtion and Other Diseases.

CHICAGO, Oct PA total of 4s5 deaths
was recorded during the past week, being
IS more than the previous week, and l3o,
or 35 per cent, more than the corresponding
week in 1885, The increase is largely due
10 diphtheria which exists in many locall-
ties. The other diseases showing mark
ed increase are apoplexy, heart disease,
cancer, consumption, nervous disorders,
pneumonia, and violence
The weather conditions and the excite
ment and exposure during the FAN Festl-
walls. it is said, are largely responsible for
this increase. but the excessive death rate
of diphtheria, the highest for the year is
probably. due to school diffusion of the
contagion.
