THE POSTAGE STAMP
HOW IT 13 MADE BY UNCLE SAM'S
EXPERT WORKMEN.
t'he Mnntitfuot lirtnnr rroreaa From
the Knicrnvinic uf the Sierl Die to
tbe Vlnlxhi'd tiummrd, Preaaeil nnil
Perforated Printed Sheet.
The first meehiinlcnl process In the
nninufticture of u pontage slump Id tliu
cutting, or engraving, of the tile. This
Is a piece of steel of the llnest quality,
on the polished surface of which a man
slowly and patiently cuts, line by line,
the portrait or other emblem which
Iihh been adopted for this particular
stump. A steel engraving Is what is
railed flu Incised plate that Is, every
line which Is to show In' the linished
fjrint is cut into the surface instead of
being left lu relief, as in wood engrav
ing.
The die which the engraver cuts is a
negative;" lu other words, a reversal i
of tue design wmcn me sunup iu
show. The reason for this soon he
roines Apparent.
When the die is finished and proofs
show it to be satisfactory It is hard
ened and fixed in the bed of n powerful
press. Over It is then passed a steel
roller, the circumference of which Is
several times, perhaps four times, the
diameter of the die. Immense pressure
Is applied, so that every hue on the
surface of the die Is Impressed upon
the surface of the roller as ninny times
ns the circumference of the roller Is
larger than the nrea of the die. In this
way four perfect copies of the die are
reproduced on the roller, but reversed.
Each of these impressions is a "posi
tive." This roller is now hardened In turn
In order that it may transmit the Im
pressions once more, this time to the
Jilnte from which the actual printing
Is to be made. This plate is also of
uteel. The sine Is snlnelent to print a
whole sheet of stamps from 200 to 300
ot a single impression.
Into the surface of this plate the im
pression on the roller is forced by great
pressure, once for each stamp In the
subsequent sheet, and then the plate
Is hardened. These impressions are
negatives, so that the prints from them
tho stamps themselveswill be posi
tives. The reason for all this preliminary
work Is most interesting. In the first
place, printing could not be done from
n single die because of the vast quan
tities of stamps required. In the sec
olid place, It could not be done from
the roller, because on that the lines are
liv relief Instead of being Incised, and
"TiT'thc third place, it would not be
feasible to have several die or a large
number of them engraved, both be
cause the expense would be prohibi
tive and because no two would then be
absolutely alike. The pre- :nt system
makes It certain that ever; stamp of
a certain lot is exactly lik every oth
er ot the same lot a grear safeguard
against counterfeiting.
When three printing plate s have been
made -they are nil fastened to the bed
of a special printing press. When tho
machinery is sta'ted the fx-st plate Is
Inked, then automatically wiped until
It Is like a mirror. .The wiping removes
nil the Ink except what clings In the
lines of the 200 duplicate engravings
which dot the surface.
Over the plate Is laid a sheet of
dampened paper, the plate is slightly
warmed in order to permit the Ink to
swell, .and heavy pressure is npplled.
Meanwhile the second plate Is receiv
ing Its Ink, and then the third comes
Into play, so that, although all three
are on the same press, each Is at a
given moment undergoing n different
process from either of the other two.
This has wrought a great saving of
time over the old process of printing
by hand. When the printed sheets are
dry they go to the gumming machine,
in which they pass between a dry
roller on one side and one moistened
with mucilage on the other. From
these rollers they are cast out, wet
side up, upon an endless web, which
carries them through a steam heated
box.
They come out dry, ready for the
perforations, which permit them to be
torn apart easily. These are very cnsl
Jymade by passing the sheets between
oufe cylinder studded with steel pins
and v another perforated with holes to
match the pins. Tho two together act
like the jaws of a conductor's punch.
The last process is pressing the sheets
by hydraulic power to counteract the
tendency to curl, which is Imparted by
the mucilage.
The priming qf stamps, like the print
ing of gold and silver certificates and
bank notes, is subject to the most care
ful and constant Inspection.
Every sheet of paper Is counted be
fore it Is delivered to the printer, and
before he goes home at night he must
return exactly the same number of
sheets, either of perfect stamps or
spoiled paper, and no "seconds" or
samples are given away to visitors.

"To my mind two tilings strike the

haunts," writes a traveler. "The one
Is the gigantic size and his own com
narntive smallness. The other is the

which Is surprisingly small In propor.

TOURING IN RUSSIA.

Nljid Novgorod, where the great Ilus
slan fair Is held, far on toward the
frontier of Asia, I found the most difll
cult proposition in all Kurope from the
standpoint of the traveler seeking rest
and refreshment. I knew only one
word In Russian, "vodka," and one can
pronounce that too often. Nobody
seemed to speak anything but Uusslnn.
I could not get n cabman to take me to
n hotel. One isvoseblc after nnother
would pick me up, seem to understand
and then take uie to a shop, a steam
ship pier, n private resilience. I was
reduced to the humiliating necessity of
making pictures of hotels, beds and
food of all sorts and quite without
avail. At last, bethinking myself that
the trade of llussla was In Herman
hands, I started out afoot In search of
any mercantile looking person with
close cropped blond beard and spec
tacles. Such a man I found, ami no
,n,.00tpd me In German to n traktlr.
where I had breakfast with the aid of
more crude cartooning. " oiTee Is
good Volapuk, and the waiter under
stood me at once, but I had to sketch
a number of elliptical figures in my
notebook and finally make n spirited
drawing of the common or garden hen
before he knew I wanted "eggs."
For dinner that night I went to a res
taurant overhanging tbe Volga. It Is
one of my most burning memories of
travel that when in my thirst I made
the sign of drinking and pointed to

THE MUD DAUBER WASP.
She Entnmlm I.lvlnpr Splilera nn moil
For Her YonnK.
When summer warmth has awakened
the maternal instincts of the Insect
world the mud dauber wasp may be
seen gathering mortar at the margin of
stream, pool or puddle. Killing her
mandibles, which serve as both spado
and hod, she bears tho load of mud to
some rough surface, rock or wall or
board or beam. She spreads and shapes
her mortar until, after many visits to
the mud bed, she has built a tubnlar
cell about an Im h long and three
eighths of an Inch wide.
Then her huntress instinct nwnKons
and her raids upon the spider realm be
gin, for within tills cylinder the moth
er mason will put a single egg. In
course of time this will hatch Into a
ravenous larva whose natural food is
living spiders, and these the mother
proceeds to capture and entomb within
her rand daub nursery. On this errand
she may be seen hawking over and
near cobwebs of various sorts, ventur
ing within the meshed and beaded
snares that prove fatal to most incom
ers and sometimes even to herself. If
the occupant, expectant of nrey, sallies
forth to seize the Intruder, I: finds Itself
a captive, not a captor. The wasp
shakes the silken filament from wings
ami feet, turns upon the spider, seizes
and stings it, bears it to her cell and
thrusts it therein. II. C. McCook In

OIil Mini of the Mountain.
The title "Old Man of the Mountain'
was first applied to !. assail Ben Sab-
bal, who founded a formidable dynas
ty in Syria A. D. 1000. Ho was the
prince or chief of-the sect of the Mo
hammedans. Having been banished
from his country, ho took up his abode
In Mount Lebanon, gathered around
him a band of followers, who soon be
came the terror alike of Christians,
Jews and Turks. They paid tho most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that If they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys of
paradise.. For 200 years those "Assas
sins," as they called themselves, con
tinned to be the terror of tho country.
Whenever their chief, the "Old Man
of the Mountain," considered himself
Injured he dispatched some of his as
sassins secretly to murder the nggres
sor. This Is the origin of our use of the
word assassin for a secret murderer,

are Incurable. Yet even In this dread

the hazard of destruction and intrigue,
carry on war and form projects Just

delight for a thousand ages."
A Need In Schoolmaster.
We should like to see a regulation
that every schoolmnster before the age

In past times It was the custom for
the king's justiciar and his subordi
nates to make tip the royal accounts
twice a year, at Easter and Michael
mas, on a table which was the most
striking object In the chamber In
which they assembled. This table was
covered with dark russet cloth divided
into squares, which gave it a checker
ed, chessboard-like appearance, and In
tho columns nnd spaces the accounts
rendered by the sheriffs and great
landowners who attended for that
purpose, were entered and reckoned
up. It was the checkered cloth, so
conspicuous throughout the proceed
ings, that gave rise to the name ex
chequer, just as the stars painted on
the celling of another historic room
originated the name "star chamber."

forbid the use of cigars In your family

The Tarantula Klllina; Wiipi.
The tarantulu killer is a bustling,
unquiet creature. When running on the
ground its wings vibrate continuously.
When It sights Us prey It tiles In cir
cles around It. The tarai tuln trem
bles violently; now runs und hides;
now, rising runipiint, shows signs ot
fight. The xrutchful huntress finds a
favorable moment, darts upon Its vic
tim' with curved body and thrusts In
Its sting if possible Into the soft ab
domen. Often the spider is at once
paralyzed, but a second nnd even a
third wound Is sometimes necessary.
The victor seizes Its motionless prey
with Its Jaws and drags It to n hole
previously dug. She thrusts It In, de
posits an egg upon It and covers It up.
In this case the bulk of the tarantula
Insures sutllcient- food for the off
spring, and one alone Is provided, as
seems to be tbe case with the cicada

and her Ilk, which select smaller prey,
garner many, rarely sealing a cell ere
