THE LATEST IMPROVEMENT IN NEWSPAPER MACHINERY.
The conductors ot the New York Tribune are lying without motive, and •against their own interest, or they have put up a printing machine which realises the dream of the most advanced newspaper proprietors, and gives to passion for hurry the greatest gratification it has ever yet received. They assert that Messrs Hoe have put up on their premises a press 5 feet high, 6 feet wide, and 24 feet long, which can turn out 30,000 copies in au hour, ready folded for delivery by post. "The entire process is absolutely automatic. A -roll of paper half a. ton in weight, and four and a half miles long, and in just double the length of one of the Tribune's pages, is hung on a horizontal axis over the presb, the end of the big ribbon is pushed in to the. machine, a lever starts the revolutions, and, as the roll untwines, complete copies of the Tribune, neatly folded and ready for the mail, issue in two streams at the end pf the machine, no hand touching them from the time the half-tori roll is swung into its place till the boys gather up the folded papers and deliver them to purchasers, or turn them over to the mail clerks."
