JOURNALISTIC
PROGRESS

The Gettysburg News is INSTALL
ing big linotype machine, to re-
lieve it's overworked compositors,
the Hoven Advance is putting in
larger cylinder press, while the
Forest City Press is getting in a
large supply of "logotype.'' This
latter, however, you can't notice
quite so readily as you can, per-
haps, the improvements of our
contemporaries; but it is an up-to-
date advance, just the same. And
if you want to know whata logo
type'' is, it is word cast in one
type: for instance, now when we
set up "wednesday" we only have
to handle two type, or make two
motions; cast on one piece is
'sWednes" and cast on another
piece is ''day." Putting the two
together we have Wednesday.
Other words are cast the same way
as for instance, ''and' "the' "that"
"Miss'' ''Mrs." and so on. The
Press still has faith in Potter

BosPoRUs A NARROW Way
At Point Of It's Largest Breadth II
Does Not Exceed One and Ono.
Quarter Miles In Width.

The Bosporus contains few dan
gerous submarine rocks or shoals.
The locality of these few is indicated
by lighthouses or buoys. The water
is only slightly tinged with salt and
is marvelously clear. The sands,
glittering apparently near the sur
face, may be twenty feet below.
On a map of whatever scale, each
of those familiar straits, which cleave
lands and continents asunder, seems
hardly more than a silvery thread.
Yet, as one sails over their famous
waters, the opposing shores on either
hand sometimes appear far away
The Strait of Gibraltar, which wrests
Africa from Europe, is 16 miles
wide; that of Messina, forcing its
way between Italy and Sicily, is
from two to 10; that of Bonifacio,
which, like blade of steel, cuts Cor
siea and Sardinia apart, is seven
miles in width at its most contracted
point; even the Dardanelles expands
from over one to four.
But the illusion as to distances
created by the map is real as to
the Bosporus. Off Buyoukdereh,
where it attains its largest breadth,
its hemmed-in waters broaden to
only 1888 feet, or about / 4-5 miles.
Between Roumeli Hissar and Ana
doll Hissar they shrink to one-sixth
of these dimensions, or to 1,641 feet.
