How They Are Printed.
IN The man known as the plate printer
inks the printing plate for each i'm
preston and gives the turn of the
long armed wheel that applies the
pressure needed for printing. The
girl assists him by removing
tho printed sheet and supplying in its
place fresh, blank sheet OF paper.
The printers work with almost incredi-,
BILE rapidity. for they, are paid on the
.'piece-work" basis, and 1t is othing
unusual for an expert printer to turn
out each day 1000 sheets. or nearly
half q million stamps, thus earning
for himself the handsome wage OF IS.
After the stamps are printed the
sheets, fresh with ink are sent to a
drying room, where they remain for
some time. Then they pass to the
cumming division, where a coating OF
mucilage is applied to the back of
each sheet. This task Is performed
largely by wonderful automatic
rlachines, which by means OF 4 glass
ROLLER apply just the proper quantity
OF adhesive, drawn from tank above.

Work Of Experts.
The men who have been engaged in
engraving the printing plates for the
jamestown stamps are among the
most expert workers to be found in
this branch of the art world. Some of
them receive salaries OF $4,000 per.
year. Skillful as are these masters of
their craft, no one engrayer was en-
trusted with the entire task of turn

each a specialist in one particular line.
Thus one man engraved the portrait
on the one-cent stamp, while a second
supplied the vignetting and a third
did the lettering. Thus each of the
three stamp designs is a composite
production.

Three Varieties.
There are three varieties of special
jamestown stamps of which varying
quantities are being printed as First
order.' OF the one-cent stamp, which
is printed in green andt bears por-
trait of Capt. John Smith, ten million
copies are being turned out. The two-i
cent carmine stamp, which bears de-
scriptiye scene entitled "rhe Founding
OF Jamestown" will presumably be the
most extensively used, and of this the
initial order is fourteen million. The
nSe-cent stamp, bearing therepresent-
alton of Pocahontas. will presumably
be employed almost exclusively for
preparing letters sent to foreign. coun-
tries, and eight million of these stamps
is deemed sufficient as a starter. Tho
printing of these special stamps in the
same colors as the corresponding de-
nominations of the regular series has
resulted in an immense saving Of time,
since to- change the color of the ink
on the presses is no small chore.
