PROGRESS OF THE TIMES.

IT SHOULD BE a source Of gratifica-
l. ton, not of envy. to newspapers
generally to know that the greatest
office building in the world is owned
and occupied by one of their contem-
poraries, the New York Times. The
Times celebrated New Years day by
moving into it's new building. Meas
ured from the lowest basement level to
the roof it is the taIest office build
ing in New York. and that means in
the world. A description says.
From the curb to the top. of TIE Obser-
vatory rail il measures 3S2 feet So inches
Beneath are the Easements. which add 81

measure. and the building, everything IN
Guided, can claim height Of 476 feet 61s

Ten floors of the building, which
contains thirty-two stories. are to be
Used by the Times. When we think
most newspapers this seems a very
wilderness of space, but it is none too
much for the Times. if it maintains it's
present rate of growth for any con-
siderable period. 1t has the facilities
now for printing $4,000 sixteen page
papers an hour and there is room
enough to triple this capacity when
the need arises.
An idea of the immensely of the
structure may be obtained from a few
statistics. 1t contains twenty eight
tons of glass, y 500 tons of cement.
more than 100000 red brick SSH six
teen-candIe power electric lights, Al
tens of roofing material, 100 tons Of
plumbing. $4,000 square yards of plas-

square feet of thing. 3455 tons of hard
ware in the line Of door knobs, sash
weights and the like, and tons upon
tons OF other material. The total
weight OF the building Is more than
Il ,46I tons.
The Herald congratulates the Times
upon its progress. 1t is a paper that
thoroughly deserves success, for it is
a clean, able and influential journal.
The Times motto, IAN the news that's
fit to print" is one that might be pro-
ttably followed by other newspapers.
