Engraving Process If an engraved surface be covered with ink or wet colored paper or the like pressed upon it it will take the impression of the parts remaining un touched, while the hollowed out (en graved) parts will not print off. This is called relief engraving, and its most important variety is wood engraving; If the ink or color be forced into the hollowed parts, while the smooth part is wiped clean, the paper, usually wet, will draw from the engraved line and spaces the ink which they have con tained while the rest of the paper is left white. This process is properly called line engraving; if the linos are eaten into the plate by means of an acid the process is called etching; if the surface is merely roughened with out Incision of lines it is called mezzo tint. “Third-Degree” Methods There is no la>v preventing the ad ministration t>f the "third-degree” to women. In cities where this system is prevalent it is applied to men and women equally. It is not possible to say definitely when the custom origi nated. Various forms of torture for the purpose of extracting confessions have been employed from very early times in history. In America, after the Revolutionary war, a number of criminals and suspects were subjected to various kinds of inquisition. The practice has continued in this country. —Washington Star.
