MACHINE SETTING.
Think of mechanism whereby one
onerator nay set the type, simu!tane-
o1sIy. on a hundred newspapers, IN as
many cities, as widely separated as tue
expanse Of a continent; ThompsGns
invention will do this. Or the WICK
iype casting machine, OF recent lnVeh-
ton. which casts 60, 600 perfectly finish
ed letters in sixty minutes, under d
pressure Of $50 pounds, making d type
face so dense that its life" oVerpasses
1000 900 impressions.
Or that other marvel, the teledio-
graph, whereby you can sketch. Tor IN
n you own "phiz," bringing out
he lines and features of intellectual
ity-ail the suggestions and iptima>
lions, face-written, of your strenuous
life and wire" it TO your sweetheart
by the sobbing sea and know that ev-
cry detail will be reproduced with ex-
act fidelity to the original. Wonderful
is 1t not?
FAST DISAPPEARING.

work" is expiring all over the land,

thaler mill,
Grinding language in its hopper with
de~liberative skill;
Turning out with measured speed
Thots that he who runs may read;
But the monotone is discord to the
click, click, click.
OF the merry minion lnidgets in the
old time stick"
