As the sheets are printed they are gathered from each of the eight receiving tables and carried off to the folding machines, of which there are four on the same flat. These are unable to do all the work as quickly as required, so that some are sent up to the bindery above, and folded by hand. Let us, for a moment, consider the amount of paper which goes through the presses on this floor in a year. There are, devoted to papers, an eight-cylinder rotary for the DAILY, a two-cylinder for the WEEKLY WITNESS, and a single-feeder for the MESSENGER. There are also several presses for job work, one of which, however, prints L'AURORE, and another the NEW DOMINION MONTHLY, which need not now be referred to in detail. [Illustration: A FELLOW LABORER.] Some fourteen thousand five hundred copies of the DAILY WITNESS are printed daily, or 4,509,500 a year, excluding from the calculation Sundays and legal holidays. The circulation of the WEEKLY WITNESS averages twenty-six thousand copies, or 1,412,000 in a year. Some fifty thousand copies of the NORTHERN MESSENGER are issued semi-monthly, or 1,200,000 sheets a year. Thus the total mounts up to more than seven million papers which are printed on these premises during a year. A few statistics with this number as a basis would prove interesting. Piled in reams these papers would form a column 3,560 feet high, or more than two-thirds of a mile. Stretched out and pasted together they would reach four thousand four hundred and twenty-one miles. But such figures as these simply daze one, and we will leave them and follow the papers a little farther. [Illustration: _The Press Room._]
