JUNIOR LINOTYPE
Another Evolution in the History
of the Wood County Reporter.
The First TYpe-Setting and
Casting Machine Installed in
Wood County.

F. David Rotellini, an expert Stan
dard and Junior Mergenthaler Limo
type operator of Chicago, has been
in the city since Saturday last, set
ting up and installing a Junior type
setting and casting machine for the
Wood County Reporter. The cleo
trio wiring was done by the Electric
and Water Co, of this city. The
plumbing and pipe fitting was put
in. by w. A. Rogers. The power for
the machine is furnished by an cleo
trio motor attached to the machine.
Monday, December 28th is the date
upon which the first slug was cast,
and Tuesday five and one-half col
ums were set without any Difficult
ties or unpleasant experiences of any
kind. The machine appeared to run
easily, quietly and did its work as
nicely as though it had been install
ed for a long period of time. We
present a cut giving an accurate re.
production as the machine now ap
pears set up in our office with a

1t can be erected and started by
an ordinary capable compositor with
average mechanical knowledge
Provides for two faces of type from
one set of matrices, and permits of
instantaneous change from one to the
other.
General Description.
This machine involves the principal
features and advantages of the
| Standard Linotype, in simplified form
metal matrices being composed in
lines, with justifying wedges, and
presented to a mold in which the
slugs are east from molten type
metal
The justification of the line, the
casting trimming and assembling of
the slugs, and the distribution of the
matrices all take place automatical-
ly. They do not require any stoppags
of composition, or any attention on
the part of the operator. One line
is cast and delivered while the opera
tor is manipulating the keys to
compose the next line.
1t is, therefore, not type set
ting machine. On the contrary, it
is designed to do away with hand
composition and distribution. 1t is a
machine controlled by finger keys,
ike a typewriter, which will create
new type matter as demanded, ready
for the press or sterotyping table
to be ordinarily once used and then
melted down Instead of producing
single type characters, it casts type
metal bars or slugs, each complete in
one piece and having on the upper
| edge, properly justified, the char
acters to print a line. These slugs
| presen. the appearance of composed
| lines of type. The line-of-types, or
slugs, are produced and assembled
automatically in a galley, in proper
order, answering the same purpose
and to be used in the same manner
as composed type matter. After be-
| ing used, the slugs, instead of be-
ing distributed like type with the at
tendant expense, are simply re-
melted into metal ingots, to be used
again as required. When a line of
matrices is once set, any number

Facts About Radium

An English scientist gives some in
teresting figures regarding the occur
"ence and distribution of radium in
the earth. The total amount of radium
in the ocean is reckoned to be 10000
tons. Regarding the sediments ac-
cumulating in the sea, it is found that
those most slowly formed exhibit the
greatest radio-activity. II all the de-
posits in the sea were as rich in "a
dunn as the globigerina ooze the total
amount of this element In them would
be 100000 tons. With regard to the
rate of change of uranium, by which
radium is produced, it is calculated
hat the amount present in the earth
100000 years ago was only one
per cent more than now.

Mans Inhumanity to Woman.

In all the civilized cities of the
world woman is encouraged to de
moralize herself and hold herself
cheap in music hall, theater and even
in opera house, for what man of prop
er instincts would like to see his
daughter or sister in the attitudes and
IN the drapery so popular at such
places? 1t all comes from denying
to woman a responsible voice in the
highest affairs and placing her on a
lower plane. 1t is proposed to legally
forbid her to serve in public house,
because of it's bad moral atmosphere,
which men alone have given it, while
public opinion allows her to make
reckless displays on the stage of the
theater and music l.-Westminster
