She then, according to the report, readjusted her healgear and “walked through the slush uutil she resc the mansion of William H. Vaaderbilt.” Pacing trc vase ‘*‘uvon oce of the brown etone pi! Jars which compose the ralllng,” she knelt before it and seemed to be offering up a prayer {o the Money Spirit of that beautiful Erown stone temple. With a view t) the poesible return of this ex‘raordinary worshiper, a reportar took his stand at the corner of Fifth av- enue and Fifty-first street and patlently awaited developments. After walting betwoen the house of Vanderh It and the house of God on the o her side of the av- enue for an hour or two the reporter be- came aware of the presence of & solemn- looking gentleman, who, in waterprocf ulster and battered vls, s-emed also to be weiting for somebody «r something. As usua! (he reporter's surmise was cor- rect. Jhe gentleman in the waterproof ulster was also waiting for tie raven- hairel aod, from a senitary point of vlew, imprudeat saint, “‘I su<pect, id the solemn stranger, “‘that 1hs lady whose strange perform- ances were described in this morning's World s Stster Susdivus, as she calls hoe- self, & womsn whom I have encountered in many jarts of the globe.

The gentleman in the ulster recarded his (aestioner sadly and with commiseration ited England with the hope of fiading there the opening and the support which he could not obtain in his native country. He found & sympatizer in Thomas Bens- ley, with whom lie entered into an agree- ment in 1807. Two years later, when a working model of Koenig's improved press had been completed, Ben:loy brought the matter before Mr. Walter, who, for the moment, was 0 fally ocou- pied with other engagemenis that he could not entertain a new scheme, In 1812 Koenig ta finished one of his new printing_prosses, and the conductors of the London journals were invited to sec itin operation, Mr. Perry, of the Morn- m3z Chronicle, o very shrowd man, and the editor of & most successful newspa- per, would not even accept the invitatlon, declaring that, in his opinion, no news- paper was worth 8o many years purchesc a8 would equal the cost ¢f the new ma- chine. Mr. Walter accepted the invita- tion, carefully examined K-enig's im- proved press and a%once ordered two double preszes on the same model. Two yoars elspsed before these presses were constructed and at work, Ramors of the new invention were circu- lated, despite the secrecy to which all concerned had ™ haen pledged, and the Times pressmen, who believed that their incans of livelthood would be at an end when ctsam was ap- plied to printing, vowed vengeance upon the inventor. The ncw presses were erected in rooms adjoining those wherein the old ones werc In operation, At 6 o'clock in the morning «f the 20th day of November, 1814, Mr. Walter entered the office with several damp pirintcd shects in his hand aad informed ths startled press- man at work there that ‘‘the Tiis was already printed by steam! that if they at- tempted violence there wis a force reedy to suppress it, but that if they were peaceabla thelr wazes should ba coatln- ued to every one of them till similar em- ployment coald be procured.” Ia proof of his ststement he handed to them copies of the first newspaper which had issued from a steam press. The readera of that day’s Times were informed of the ravolu- tion of which it way a visible token, Tiifling thcuzh the spe d may now scem, it was then thovght astounding that s press could throw off, as Koenlg's did, 1,100 copies an houe, and this beginning is memorable ¢s the first et2p in a serfes of improvements s-ill more 1emarkable thin that which was pronounced at the time to be the graatest that had been ef- fected In the art of printiug since the dis- coveryof the art itee f,—[The Nineteenth Cantury, know from a side of sole leather, imme- diately summoned two capltol police- men, and directed them to take Florence to his room, Whitesmith then left, and the actor was marched alf under a guard to the doorkesper's ofhce.

The heuses are prepared for the visit of King North Wind, and Cauadians are the only peoplain the wcrld who know how to koep warm cutdoors 88 well as indocrs The s'reets are gay with life and laugh- ter, and vorybcdy ecoms detarmined to wake the most of the great carnival, Business goes to the doys. There is a mighty march of tourists and townspec— ple crunching over the crisp snow, and a conatant jingle of sleigh-bells, If you go to sny of the toboggan s'ides, you will witne: s a sight that thrills the onlooker a3 well as the 10boggonist, The natural hills wero formerly the only resort, but some one introduced the Russian idea of erecting a high wooden structure, up one side of which you drag your toboggan and down the other elde of which you_ fly like a rocket.

Perhaps of all sports «f the carnival, this is 1the most generally enjoyed by visitora, Some of the s'ides ar¢ veay s cepand look danger- ous, and the sensation of rushing down the hill on the thin strip of basswood 1s one never to be forgotten. *“ *How did you like 117" asked aCana- dian gitl of an” American visitor, whom she had steered down the stccpest slide, *“*Ob!
