must have the rigorous winters of the

Nebraska on the upper Mississippi.
This is however very far from being

Four hundred miles north of Los
Angeles and five hundred north of SAN

the winters but little more severe than
in the cities named. All along the
coast the climate is cool during the
summer, with considerable low log

These presses answered the require

We're small in size and circulation. But
with the advent of the daily, with its
circulation running up to many thou

was a demand for something better, for
greater speed.
First Rapid Printing Press.
In 1915 the firm of r. Hoe & Co..
which had already been for many years
engaged in the manufacture of printing
presses, attacked this problem. A num-

greater speed could be obtained The
result was the construction of press
known as the Hoe Type Revolving
Machine. embodying patents taken
out by Richard NJ. Hoe. The first one
of these machines was placed in the
Ledger office in Philadelphia, in 1876.

of about 10000 separate pieces, and re-
quireS eighteen months for its con-
Struction in the largest mandatory in
the country. 1t is more complicated
than a locomotive or a watch. or any
of the forms of mechanism to which we
ordinarily refer as remarkable for their
intricacy or nicely.
This press is fed from three continu-
Gus rolls of paper, each more than five
feet wide, and all reeling off the paper
as fast as it will run without tearing.
At its highest speed the press will use
up over two miles of this paper in an
hour, or fifty miles OF paper of the
width of an ordinary newspaper page.
In terms more readily grasped, this
indicates a capacity of $4,000 four, SIX
or eight-page papers per hour. Not
only are these papers printed at This
astounding rate. but they are also cut,
folded and counted In other words
the press performs every operation
connected with the paper from the
time the rolls are put into position I'M
til the finished product energies ready
TO be put on sale. Ninety thousand pa
pers per hour means 1.500 per minute,
or twenty-five copies for every second
licked off on your watch.
Most of the larger newspapers have
in their ordinary issues ten or twelve
pages. OF these the press will turn
out $4,000 in an hour, 1,2O0 to the min
ute, or twenty every second.
The machine weighs over sixty tons,
and is massive in it's proportions. Yet
its touch is as deft as that of human
fingers. 1t handles the papers accur-
ately, cuts them precisely and folds
them up evenly. all with speed that Is
Well-nigh incredible.
Its operation is easy and resistless.
A man throws back a lever; the many
shafts and cylinders began to revolve,
going faster and faster until the
streams of white paper are pouring
into the machinery TO rapidly for the
eye to measure. On the other side the
printed sheets rain out so fast that one
sees only the continual flash of the
steel fingers that seize and forward
every sheet.
The operation of the press at its high
est rate of speed means that each
paper receives its impression in less
than one-fiftn of a second. How a per
manent imprint can be made in that
space Of time is a marvel difficult to
comprehend. Yet it is done. The ink
does not smut or rub off, and even the
most delicate lines Of an illustration
are accurately reproduced.
Genesis of the Invention.
Ii is easy to understand that such a
machine as this, performing so many
different operations, represents a ser
les of achievements. rather than
single one. 1t is a gradual and nat
ural development from the wooden
screw press used by Gutenberg back
in the middle of the fifteenth century.
But while there is no hard and fast
line separating the new from the old
or the perfect from the primitive in
the history of printing, there are GER
tain dates that are marked by notable
advances and improvements in the art
One important change took place in
1906, when Saxon named Frederick
kOenig devised a form of press in
which the paper was carried on a cyl
inder and received its impression from

Were it not for the high-speed per-
fecting press, this newspaper could not
be printed and placed before you in lis
present form; certainly not at its pres
ent cost. The modern newspaper, with
its wonderful service in spreading il
formation and molding opinion. is per-
haps the greatest civilizing and con-
trolling force of the time. The rapid
printing press, by making the news
paper possible, deserves to rank as one
of the great achievements in an age
of mechanical invention. Certainly
there is no other machine of such
power and complexity that possesses at
the same time such accuracy and deli
cacy, handling, printing and folding
sheets of paper that can be torn he
tween the fingers without an effort.
Consider for a moment the work
done by one of the great presses
known to printers as "octuple" ma

JEERS FOR THE SEVENTH.
New York's So-called Crack Regi-
ment Insulted In Parade.
Baitimore Americans

Baltimore American.)
The principal feature of the Memo
rial day exercises in New York was,
of course, the parade. in which veter-
ans of the war with Spain participated,
and the significant fact of the parade
is that the crack Seventh New York
regiment, the pride of former turnoutS
of the kind, was openly inSulted with
jeers, Kisses and catcalls. This was
the result of the Seventies refusal to
volunteer its services to the United
States, except on terms of its own
making, and was not unexpected. In
fact, since the war was declared with
Spain, this was the first appearance
of the Seventh, as a body, on the
streets of New York. When the regi-
ment reached Fifth avenue and Eigh-
teenth street, an effort was made by
some of those in the crowd to arouse
some enthusiasm for the boys who
stayed at home. A few handkerchief
fiuttered from fair hands in the win
dowS along Fifth avenue, and one or
two cheers went up. They We're soon

risive shouts and insulting remarks

lieve fighters" and ''cry-babies' We're
some of the expressions hurled at the
crack Seventh as il passed Eighteenth
street. The Kisses seemed to so en-
barrasS the line that marching of the
Seventh was. at times, almost a go-as-
you-please, instead of being as in for
mer years the subject of universal
praise. At the reviewing stand in Mad
ison square, the bowls and jeers for
the Seventh arose above the music of
the band. and not even the presence of
General Miles was sufficient to allay
them. The reception accorded the
Seventy-first was in great contrast to
the hooting of the Seventh. In spite
of the charge of cowardice brought
against some officers of the Seventy
first, the men were greeted with pop
ular ovation. The companies which
distinguished themselves at San Juan
were identified by the crowds, and an
approving roar swept slowly down the
miles of spectators as these companies
passed along. The naval battalion
from Admiral Schley's former flagship.
Brooklyn, which was anchored off
Grants tomb, provided about the only
naval feature of the show. The blue
jackets were greeted almost as warm
ly as the Seventy-first regiment. In
the glamour which has surrounded the
more recent achievements of the regi-
ments which today acted as escort to
the Grand Army of the Republic, the
latter seemed pathetically neglected as
they bore their battle-stained flags
down Eighth avenue. The crowds be
gan to dispense before the last of the
Grand Army veterans were in sight.
Governor Roosevelt reviewed the pa
rade in Brooklyn.

WHY HE WAS CALLED Jimmie. ?"
Senator Plumb Gives the Real Origin
of Funston's College Nickname.

Mr. Amos Plumb of Emporia, Kan,
son of the late Senator Plumb, was in
the city Monday on his way to Lead
VILE where he has extensive mining
interests. Mr.. Plumb was a college
classmate of General Funston, and both
belonged to the same college fraternity.
Among his intimate friends General
Funston is known as Jimmie" which
is far removed from his given name,
Frederick Mr.. Plumb had just read a
story in Denver paper from a Kansas
source, which purported to give the or
igin of the nickname. 1t was stated ON
the authority of State Senator Charles
F. Scott, who resides in Funston'S
town. that when the general came to
college he was a green farmers lad,
with "hayseed'' effects. For this rea-
son the boys dubbed him Timothy"
and this was finally shortened into
Jimmie"
That's all imaginary" said Mr..
Plumb to a reporter. Funston was no
hayseed, even when he first arrived at
college He had some eccentric. I'M

result of his boyish love of a joke
rather than of any greenness or awk-

fastened upon Funston IN an altogether
different manner. After he was mi

boys who was delegated as chapter cor
