When thesescenes are ready for the traveler we will not need to nagAmericans to see America tirst : and Europeans, too, willstart at once a continuous procession to these wonderlands.—Saturday Evening Post. THE UNDERWOOD OPERATOR. At last the day of the perfect form letter is at hand. TheInderw 1 Typewriter Co. has placed on the market a ma-chine that operates a typewriter, producing actual typewrit-ten letters at a rate of four to live thousand words anhour, according to the layout. During a recent visit to theoffices of the Underwood eight of these machines wereseen in operation, turning out letters by the thousand forbusiness firms in Xew York City, and it was truly a won-derful sight to see this marvelous contrivance performingits duties. Not only does it print the letter, but also fillsin the name and address of the recipient and addresses theenvelope. Changes tnav also be made in the body of theletter if The Underwood Operator. The complete outfit consists of the operator, a perforator,an Underwood typewriter and a paper feeding device. The operator proper rests upon an oak cabinet, which con-tains the motor and a portion of the pneumatic mechanism,as well as a receptacle for the master sheets while beingused. The interior of the operator contains the type batplungers, that portion of the pneumatic system which oper-ates them and a series of feed and guide rolls upon whichthe master sheets move-. As will be noted in the illustration,the typewriter is placed at one end of the operator in such position a type bar plunger is just above each key. The perforator is the machine upon which the mastersheets are prepared for use in the operator. The keyboardis the same as the ordinary No 5 Underwood, excepting Four additional keys ate used, namely; address change,blank space, carriage return and stop. The paper feeding device appears almost human in itsoperations
