TIE BOSTON WOMAN,

Austrates the True Principles
of Freedom

Boston does not develop its character
through the medium Of its aristocracv
alone, writes Margaret Allston in La
dies Home Journal. 1t is the most
democratic city in America, if not in the
world. 1t is both the cradle and nurse
OF independence. Evidences Of these
truths were set forth in the costumes OF
the feminine mass in evidence at til.

ALUMINIUM IN TYPOGRAPHY
some Advantages OF the Metal
Plate Over the Cumbersome
Stone.

A steady demand for aluminium is
springing up in various kinds of print
ing processes, as we'll rs in lithograpiv.
When its surface is properly prepared
ii is capable of replacing the ordinary
photographic stone. The advantage of
having, instead Of cun.brous and heavy
stones. which can be printed only on
special slow-running '']itho', machines
thin. sheets Of metal, which can be bent
into circular form and printed on ro-
;tary presses. is evident. In Germany
five-pound sheets of aluminium are be-
ing used as a substitute for the usual
'Solenhofen limestone slabs. weighing
80 to 100 pounds. After being polished
with ground pumice, -he aluminium
sheets are dried and washed with a
patent acid solution. and after a second
drying are ready for the imprint. The
sheets cost only one-th;rd Of the stone;
70 correct an error the ink has simply
to be washed out with acid; there is n O
liability to fracture under heavy pres
sure; and both space in storage and
labor in handling ara saved. The quail
lty OF work done on .he metal plates is
excellent, and many establishments in
this country are now using aluminium
Plates and rotary presses.

LYING ABOUT JAMAICA.
The Persistent misrepresentation of
! the Island in Some OF Our Amer
lean Ncwzpn perS.

The authorities of jamaica have been
greatly disturbed by alleged news,
printed in this country. Some of these
items. says the New York Sun, have re-
ported that severe drought has caused
widespread distress; that The coffee,
orange and corn crops have been de-
,stroyed and famine !mpeuds: that the
starving country people are fleeing into
the towns: that the use of pu1rd water
has caused an outbreak of typhoid ma
larlal fever, and so on. These state
ments were all very inaccurate and
some Of them entirely false, and were
calculated to injure the island hy pro
,duclng q most Enfavorablc impression
in regard to its condition.
4, Colonial Secretary Evans. therefore.
wrote to Vice Consul Springer calling
attention to these erroneous statements
and asked him if he could assist the
Jamaican government to put stop TO
such continued Misrepresentation. or
nj least TO countcract their injurious
influence. He said they were already
doing much mischief to the colony.
The vice consul ACCORDINGLY sent
specimens Of these falsehoods. together
With the letter which Mr. Evans had
written TO him, to our state department
and they have just appeared in our con
,sular reports. Somebody seems to be
interested in libeling Jamaica, and has
found medium in this country for the
PRONUNCIATION Of his falsehoods.
