bought was 1,000 it was easy enough to
supply them with a press which turned
out between 800 and 400 copies an hour;
but when many thousands were called for
such a press proved wholly inadequate.
Mr. Walter had made several atteinp»
to effect Improvements in the printing
press, lie consulted Marc Isambord Bru-
nei, one of the great mechanics of his day,
who gave his best attention to the matter
and thou intimated his inability to execute
what was required. Mr. Walter ad-
vanced money *0 Thomas Martyn, who
thought he had made an important dis-
covery; but the ideas of Martyn wero not
realized in practice. While engaged in
peeking for a iierson who could give scope
and effect to his wishes, Fricdricli Koenig,
a German, who was born at Eisleben, in
Saxony, in 1774, was laboring to effect
Improvements in the printing press, was
conlidcnt of substituting steam for manual
labor in his new press, and was anxiously
waiting for an opportunity to give scopo
to his views and for a patron to counte-
nance and advance theni. He had visited
England in the hope of finding there the
opening and the support which he could
not obtain in his native country. He
found a sympathizer in Thomas bensley,
with whom he entered into an agreement
in 1807.
Two years later, when a working model
of Koenig's improved press had been com-
pleted, Kensley brought tho matter be-
fore Mr. Walter, who, for the moment,
1 was so fully occupied with other engage
ments that he could not entertain a new
i scheme. In 1812 Koenig had finished one
of his new printing presses, and the con-
ductors of the principal Loudon journals
were invited to see it in operation. Sir.
Perry, of The Morning Chronicle, a very
shrewd man, and tho editor of a most suc-
cessful newspaper, would not even accept
tho invitation, declaring that, in his opin-
ion, no newspaper was worth so many
years' purchaso as would equal tho
cost of the new machine. Mr. Walter
accepted the invitation, carefully ex-
amined Koenig's improved press, and at
onco ordered two double presses on the
same model. Two years olapsed l>eforc
the presses wore constructed and at work.
Humors of tho new invention were circu-
lated, despite tho secrecy to which all
concerned had been pledged, and Tho
Times pressmen, who believed that thoir
means of a livelihood would be at an end
when steam was applied to printing,
vowed vengeance upon tho inventor. Tho
new presses wero erected in rooms adjoin-
iug those wherein the old presses wero in
operation.
At 0 o'clock in the morning of tho 20th
of November, 1814, Mr. Walter entered
tho office with several damp printed
sheets in his hand, and informed the
start] cd pressman at work there that the
"Times was already printed by steam!
that if they attempted violence tbero was
a forco ready to suppress it, but that if
they were peaceable their wages should
be continued to every one of them till
similar employment could bo pro-
cured. " lu proof of his statement he
anded to them copies of the first
ewspaper which had issued from a
rteam press. The readers of that day's
Times were informed of the revolution of
which it was a visible token. Tritling
though the speed may now seem, it was
then thought astounding that a press could
throw off, as Koenig's did, 1,100 copies au
hour, and this beginning is memorable tis
the first step in a series of improvements
still more remarkable than that wh'ch
was pronounced at tlio time to be the
greatest that had been effected in tho art
trfjjfljjjtiug since the discovery of tho art

[New Dongola Cor. New York World.]
It was a few days ago that a place down
tho river, near New Dongola, was seem.,
iugly cucompassed by an hnponderatte
mirror. In the distance we thought we
saw roeka, mountains, and old mimosa
trees, where we knew that all was sand.
In the afternoon the rocks and mountains
had gone and a great sheet of motionless
water was mirrored before us. Wo thought
we could at times see the waves rintded
by some passing breeza Up to within a00
yards of us wo thought we saw a red-
ment of rod ooated soldiers marching at
ease where we knew no soldiers could
ba wo|tliought wo saw camels, laden
with munitions of war, on the horizon.
It was a mirage, and none of us wero de-
ceived by it But en route we saw more
than that. Only yesterday i witnessed a
sublime phenomenon, It was not a
mirage, but a reality. i saw three sand-
spouts rising perpendicularly to agro.it
height. Their heads were lost in swelling
Capitals, which appeared to reach the
clouds. They looked like eolums which
hail tho sky as their vault. It looked Hko
the ruins of somo %uperuatural pantheon.
Other wwid-spouts looked like lialloons
dragging thoir cars over the plains. Up
mie desert these sand-spouts are dangerous
but we will know how to guard against
them as well as our Bedyoin or "Arab
guides.

AN ACTOR OF EXPERIENCE
Giv®® His Views of the Profession—-Stage
Fright—Social Life—Salaries*
(New York Graphic Interview.]
"I may be very conservative in my no-
tions as to how a man or woman should
enter the profession; but in spite of
schools, lessons or coaching it is the same
opinion with experienced actors that a be-
ginner must bepriu on the stage itself, with
•all its surroundings as they are—at the
bottom of the ladder. There have been oi
course sotno exceptional cases, but they
are indeed very rare. Why, my dear sir,
I could name some actors who are on the
stage now who had neither money nor
time to w^ste, thus begah the profession
by going 011 as supers, for by this means
they got used to facing an audience, and
could see the curious methods adopted by
old stagers."
44 What is the feeling a man experiences
when lie lirst speaks before an audience?"
"Were you ever seasick? Well, if you
remember that sensation, just before you
are absolutely ill, you may form some
idea of the fear that comes over tho aver-
age actor on his first appearance before
any audience. There's the same cold per-
spiration, the mist before the sight, the
same parched lips aud tongue, the sinking
feeling in the breast and palpitating
heart. Home of course suffer more than
others. It is called stage fright, ami
there's many a man and woman that
could not go through tho same ordeal a
second time, it's all very well for a
young man to recite before his friends or
play at any amateur entertainment; bu:
when he comes More a large assembly
of people who have paid their admission
fee to bo entertained, with all the glare,
glitter and bustle of genuine show life
around him, it's a vastly different mat
ter. What may appear strange to you is
this—that a man," as a rule, plays beUer
wheu ho Is slightly nervous—not about
the audience, but his lines. It is perhaps
better explained by anxiety as to whether
he is correct, aud the very doubt he has
about it throws a degree of lire into his
acting." .
"What about the actor's social life?"
asked the journalist.
"Well, save those few engaged at tho
houses that have a stock company, they
have uo social comfort, or at least during
the season. Tho majority of Thespians
sigh for it. They go from railroad car to
hotel, from hotel to theatre, and so on.
You cannot form any conception of how
a man or woman feels when they arrive in
some town at say 5 iu tho afternoon.
This is barely time to bolt some supjier
wheu they have to hurry off to the theatre
—perhaps a strange one to them—dress
and go on. Then perhaps the train takes
them away to the next stand at midnight,
to say nothing of wintry weather. The
only time they get is 011 Sunday, if they
happen to be staying iu towu on that day;
then the want of a home is impressed
upon their minds."
"But they receive good pay during tho
season," suggested the reporter.
"That's another exaggerated idea,"
avowed the actor, with a "grave shake of
his head. "In the lirst placc actors do
not in very many cases receive the salaries
put dowu to them by many newspapers
and general gossip. Then you must bear
in mind that half the year they are Idle.
Thero is always something to buy for
every piece or something to replace. For
Instance, if an actor is playing in a piece
that requires every day clothing nothing
is found by tho managers, and if it's a
fancy dross piece there are tights, feath-
ers, shoes, wigs, and other things he has
to lind, or if you have to travel there arc
dozens of ways for the money to go, the
details of which cannot always be ac-
counted for. Yet for all it is a mistake
to sunnnso t lin

and there is a very good plan they now
adopt to place their earnings in safe keep-
ing while on their travels—that is on
•treasury day,' after keeping what they
might need for running expenses, they
get a post order for the balanco payable
to themselves, if they have no family, in
New York city, or any other place they
may think of making for wheu tho sea-
son is over."
