TYPELEss PRINTING.
An Invention That May Greatly Simplify
the Art PreservatiVe.

An Invention That May Greatly Simplify
the Art Preservative.
The lithotype or typeless printing
system invented by w. S. Timmins, OF
Brooklyn, may, when perfected, largely
take the place of the ordinary system
The first operator sits at keyboard
somewhat like that of a typewriter.
and begins to write. AS he touches the
keys a strip of paper Issues from the
machine with the characters perfor-
ated in il and runs into another device
where automatically proof or print
is made from it in column form as
from movable type, with greasy black
ink upon white paper.
The proof is corrected Dy writing out
on the machine the corrections and
pasting them in the column over the
errors. The long column of printed
matter is then cut into short columns
of desired length and pasted on a board
which in turn is pressed against an
aluminium plate with the result that a
greasy impression of the letters is
made upon the surface.
The aluminium plates are thin as
cardboard and are clamped on the
cylinder of printing press. 1t is
claimed that the grease characters are
as distinct as and more durable than
metal type, it being possible to run
off a million copies without any efface-
ment.
To issue a second edition it is only
necessary to preserve the aluminium
plates or to go back to the perforated
tape and feed it into the second part
Of the lithotype apparatus and get
the long column, of proof again. If the
edition is desired in a different style
of type it is only necessary to attach
a different typewheel to the machine
that cuts the tape.
''The new invention" says one
writer, "means among other things, no
typesetting, no type distributing, no
stereotyping, no justifying of lines, no
standing matter, no money invested in
type-only a machine the size of two
typewriters, and press. 1t might
almost be said that no more thinking
is required, for even that is done by
the machine"

N1S~7SkT5% very successful dlrlglDle
airship.
The first and initial trial of the craft
was made from Idora Park, Oakland.
Since then several other trials have
been made, all of which proved very
satisfactory.
No high altitude was attained by
the new airship. Captain Baldwin's
principal aim was to determine if the
movements of his ship could be con-
trolled. He ascertained this could be
done quite easily.
At height of about 700 feet he cir
cled several times around the large
park, going both against and with the
wind, and moving at various angles.
After being up nearly an hour, Captain
Baldwin brought his ship back to the
starting point, and safely descended to
earth. These trials were witnessed by
great crowds of spectators.
Subsequent trials have also been
made, when it was demonstrated that
in every revolution of the large pro-
pellor, and in every move of the steer
ing gear, and of the weights which
raise or lower the vessel at will, the
plans of the inventor have been carried
into effect. The large propeller, hav-
ing two metallic blades, and nearly six
feet in diameter, instead of being
placed at the stern, is located at the
bow of the frame or car, as in most
recent airships of this type. In this
manner the airship, instead of being
pushed through the air, is pulled. This
facilitates the steering as well as rails
ing or lowering the ship.
The balloon, by means of which the
whole machine is raised, is somewhat
blunt cigar-shaped. 1t measures fifty
four feet in length and is seventeen
feet in diameter in the middle The
balloon is constructed of a very fine
quality of silk, extremely strong and
flexible, and with the reticulated net
ting which attaches it to the car,
weighs only ninety pounds. The bal
loon is inflated with hydrogen gas, and
at an ordinary distension pressure con-
tains 5000 cubic feet.
To this balloon is attached the frame
which supports the propelling and
steering mechanism. This frame,
which is made of strong, light wood, is
triangular in shape, the three ends
uniting at a centre at each extreme.
This frame is forty-eight feet long, and
is very securely braced and dashed. 1t
has been very thoroughly tested and

The HIGHWAY.

All days long on the highway
The kings feet courier ride;
You may hear the tread of their horses
sped
Over the country side.
They ride for life and they ride for death
And they override who tarryeth.
With show Of color and flush Of pride
They stir the dust on the highway.
Let them ride on the highway wide,
Love walks in little paths aside.
All days long on the highway
Is the tramp of an army's feet;
You may see them go in marshaled row
With the tale of their arms complete;
They march for war and they march for
peace,
For the lust of gold and flames increase,
For victories sadder than defeat
They raise the dust on the highway.
All the armies of earth defed,
Love dwells IN little paths aside.
All days long on the highway
Rushes an eager band,
That slips from the grasp like sand
And men leave blood where their feet
have stood
And bow them down INTO brass and
wood
Idols fashioned by their own hand
Blind in the dust of the highway.
Power and gold and fame denied.
Love laughs glad in the paths aside,
Louise Driscoll, in Lippincotts.

Ba1dwin,s Airship About to Ascend.

| Will support 400 pounds with safety
The engine which drives the pro
pelller is one of the ordinary gasoline
| type, furnishes seven horsepower, and
weighs sixty pounds The transmitfna
mechanism is so adjusted and geared
as to cause the propeller to make l5C
revolutions per minute. Just what
| speed can be obtained under ordinary
| conditions has not yet been definitely
| determined by the inventor.
The frame, or car, is placed directly
below the balloon-about twelve feet
and weighs sixty-fve pounds. The
total weight of the airship is 900
pounds, while its buoyancy will Nlft
nearly 500 pounds. The rudder, which
is rectangular in shape, five by three
and one-half feet, is very easily manip-
ulated from any part of the car; and
the engine is regulated by steel lever.
One person can very easily navigate
this airship.s The aeronaut can sit
about midway of the frame, or he may
move about freely if necessary without
disturbing the general equilibrium to
any extent.
A weight, which can be shifted from
bow to stern, or vice versa, permits
the airship to be raised or lowered at
will, a feature borrowed from Zeppe-
lin's craft. Captain Baldwin intends
soon to construct another frame that
will be six feet longer and fifteen
pounds lighter. He thinks it will in
crease the speed and facilitate the
steering.
So confident is the inventor and
builder of success that he has already
entered his airship in the $1,0O0,0p
prize competition at the Worlds Fairl,
Captain Baldwin expects to start soon
for st. Louis with his aerial machine.
In working the ship the propeller
may be reversed at pleasure, thus
pushing the vessel backward, when
ever the same is necessary or desirable.
The trials showed that the ship very
readily obeyed her helm.-Scientific
American.

Host ConceaIs Automobile Numbers.

The new proprietor Of popular
roadhouse in Warwick has been great
ly annoyed by the idle curiosity dis
played by some automobiles as to
the identity of others who patronize
his place.
1t is quite natural for a man who,
being out for a turn in the evening
with his wife, drops into the resort in
question for a cooling drink or a little
lunch, to prefer to remaining incogni-
to. But when the automobiles run
under a shed from which the reg
istry number shines forth for all to
see, like a good deed in a naughty
world, it is the easiest thing in the
world for some other party to drive up,
look over the numbers and when out
on the road pull out a registry book
find out the names of the persons who
owned the machines and cause them
good deal of discomfort over the tele-
phone the following day.
This, according to the roadhouse
keeper, has been favorite pastime
ever since he took hold Of the place,
and he gave a good deal of thought to
meeting the difficulties. Finally he
evolved a scheme. Nowadays, when
inquisitive people seek to learn, by
looking at registry numbers, who is
in the hotel, they find the number
plates covered with a bag, which ef.
fectually thwarts their sinister de
signs.-Providence Journal.

'And you won't listen to reason"
argued.
'Not when there can't be any reason,
Mr.. Heavyfeather," said Polly severely,
turning to gather her rufties up daintily
into a bunch.

her carefully through the mud on the
tips Of her patent leather shoes.

And she interrupts just as you are

surprise.

"You are very much mistaken" de-
clared Polly, quickening her step, so
that | felt as though | ought to run
and head her off; "a woman is always
willing to listen to reason, even when
1t isn't reasonable, or to an excuse that

bit convincing and rational that will
clear the man whom she loves of hav

grumbled defantly.

expostulation, "there never was a man
living who knew how to argue with

ment," / asserted.
"And invariable," agreed Polly,
"either tries to slip out of it or to bully
the woman into submission with swear
words instead of explanations. If he
doesn't tell falsehood, he is sure to
say the wrong thing. Just when a
woman's heart is aching for balm, he
gives her pepper or chilli sauce. Just
when he should confess all and ask
to be forgiven and appeal to her SYM

stands there like Marc Antony daring

he should be warm and gentle and for

out his dignity and wraps himself in

"The cannibals," / interrupted,

did know how to argue with a woman
effectively. They used a club, be-
lieve, and settled the dispute with a
single blow"
"Oh, WELL" said Polly, "that was all
right in those days. They didn't have
any divorce courts to help them settle
things further, you know"
"No," / reflected, that's so; nor

Prof. GIeason's Exhibition.

The popularity of the Gleason horse
show increases with each performance.
The exhibition grounds have been packed
every night, when the weather has been
favorable, which goes to prove that Prof.
Gleasons educational entertainments have
been highly satisfactory to the public.
The management is also pleased to note
that the audiences are made up of the
better class of people
Last Friday night the professor dem
onstrated his great power over the horse
more than at any previous exhibition.
The handling of the horse shipped here
from Wellington was we'll worth going
miles to see Another great treat is prom
ised next Tuesday night, when the great
pen act" attempted only by Gleason
will be the first thing on the program.
An enclosure twenty-four feet square and
seven feet high is built in the center of
the ring. A verey vicious biting and
striking horse is turned loose in the en-
closure and the professor enters the pen
and tames the animal, with nothing to
aid him but a whip and d revolver loaded
with bland cartridges. Don't fail to see
this great act; there is nothing like it
in existence To compare the pen act"
