Sl'X ECLIPSE ,11'XK ,17. Prof. John A. Brashear, of Alle gheny, In a signed statement, gives notice to the public that on June 17, thero will be an eclipse of the sun, unlike any other eclipse within the knowledge of man. In part, Prof Brashear says: "The eclipse will be of a very In- terestlng character from the fact that for a few seconds it will bo an annular eclipse, then change to a total eclipse, then back to an annu lar eclipse for the second time. The writer cannot find record of such an occurrence In any history of as tronomy, although we have records of annular eclipses for 400 years and or total eclipses for thousands of years. The eclipse as a partial phase of greator or lesser magni tude will sweep over the North American continent from the north, decreasing In size as It passes through Canada and the States." Tho history of stereotyping is a curious record of conservatism. The llrst practical form of stereotyping was invented In Edinburgh, in 1"3!, by William Ged, a goldsmith, but after his death tho invention vas dormant until its revival, in j 1S06. by Earl Stanhope, in London. I This was the clay process. by which only Hat plates could ho made. In lb.r(! the papier inachc process, now used by all newspa pers, and by which The Citizen and I its Honesdale contemporaries are' enabled to give the latest news, up , to 'practically the hour of putting tl.e paper to press, was introduced i in the London Times by the Broth ers Dellagana, who aine from Switzerland. They cast each col umn separately, giving each the necessary curve. Prior to tho Dellagana invention, newspapers ere printed direct from type forms, the type being arranged in curved mold. The Tribune lmd in- , around cylinders. Only one copy of a paper could be printed at a time so long as type was used, but wheh curved stereotyping was In- ented it became possible to repro duce a newspaper many times, en abling many copies to he printed simultaneously. The llrst newspa per to be stereotyped in America was the New York Tribune, in August, 1 SGI. The plates were j made by Charles Craske, who was the first to cast an entire page In a curves mold. The Tribune had in vestigated the stereotyping proposi tion for three years before it adopt ed it, but it was the large increase of circulation Induced by the Civil War that compelled it to commence the duplication of type pages by stereotyping.

As iwo unequal sections cannot to weld ed together satisfactorily. Lachman has ono piece cast with a projecting edge and the other with a point. The two projections, forced together by a hydraulic press, are Included in a . electric circuit, of wich they form the segment of highest resistance, rience, when a strong current is caused to flow through them, they are heated nearly or quite to the melting point and, ucing subjected to great pressure, quickly become welded together, and attach them selves to each other more firmly than they could be attache'd by means of newspapers i rivets, because there Is no break in '"ini 91,19 ' Hv fay t'rrJ the continuity of the metal. $10,000 KltEAK Hl'ILIHXG.
