At first they printed four pages at a time, two on each side of the sheet. The sheet when folded once re? sulted in a folder measuring about 11x17. When these folders were sewed together in a book the volume was called a FOLIO. Later they printed four pages about 8' jxll in size on each side of the sheet, which was of course folded twice; the resulting book was named a QUARTO. When eight pages, 5Y2 * 8H? were printed from a sheet which was folded three times, they had an OCTAVO. Later the size of the sheet was increased, and the present-day OCTAVO is generally 6x9. The DUODECIMO, or 12mo, measured about 5}^ x7 Y?. Twelve pages (as the name implies) were printed on each side of the sheet, or twenty-four pages to a iig nature. The small pocket edition books, called SIXTEENMO, measured about 4!-??> x 6 and were made up of signatures containing sixteen leaves, or thirty-two pages.

The sundry civil bill, which contains the miscellaneous appropriations, as reported, carries a total or $383,011,292. This represents a ?lashing of $420, 914,192 from the estimates submitted by the government departments, and a reduction of $52,237,514 from the amount appropriated last year. The cut in estimates for the postoffice biil, the other appropriation mea lure submitted, however, was not so great und the expenditure recommended rep? resented u considerable increase over this year's appropriation. The meas? ure, as reported, carried $573,964,721, a reduction of $11,442,181 from the amount asked by the Postoffice Depart? ment, but an increase of $69,530,021 ever the appropriation for the current year. Adds to Government Cost Democratic leader.-; were prompt to point out that the sum total carried by both bills, if passed as submitted by the Appropriations Committee, would add about $17,000,000 to the cost of running the government next year. Republican leaders were equally prompt m declaring that there was abundant ground for gratification on their part,! inasmuch as they had used the pruning knife on estimates of Democratic ue-1 partmenl heaus without mercy. " j Outside of the $223,000,000 provided | for the care of the disabled service men and dependents of those killed, the sundry civil measure left only $1(30,611,292 for all other purposes, as ; compared with $126,000,000, the amount j appropriated for 1916. The committee reported that the in? crease in the postoffiee appropriation was due principally to the $10,000,000 increase in the pay ?if city letter car? riers, the $36,000,000 increase allowed the railroads for mail transportation and the $12.500,000 increase in pay of clerks and employees.

"The Passing Show of 1921." which opened at the Winter Garden last night, is easily the best the Shuberts have presented in recent years in that ! orno of bauet and spectacle. Willie : and Eugene Howard head an all-star ; ??-Tit of comedians and dancers and the entertainment is of prodigious length. "The Pulsing Show" brings a sip from many a honeyed musical comedy of the season and holds a facetious minor up to the pomp and vanity of j some; of the year's more serious stage I lUCcesSGS. By clever commutation ? such pieces as "Little Old New York," ' "! he ? arm School.'' "One,'' "The Pad ! Man," "The Bat," "Mecca*' t? mention j a few- are -ar.dscaped into Winter j Garden setting? o? fnn, color and har ii o .;?. And, by "--?oiiie odd differential, . Jean Schwartz fills his music with i phantoms from tho best liked melodies j of Broadway. II ii the ninth of th<.> Passing Shows, :uid like all of the dynasty this one is: I a mocker of many^of the popular plays J of the past and present, only the trav- ! estica are better than usual. But there j ? re numerous dancing and spectacular j :?..?? rltie as well. The girls, too, are ; the Winter Garden's prettiest, unless it 's the costumes and settings which are j Lhe prettiest and give their fiat to the ? 7'horus. There are two acts, thirty-two ??cenes and twenty-six musical number??. I it is staged by J. (.'. Huffman and dia | logue and lyrics are by Haro'd Alter i ridge. ?Max Sheck is responsible for the dancing, except Cleveland Bren | lur's ballet. "The Bat," "Spanish Love" and ? ?Mecca" appeared to be the best among ? the travesties, and the. Howards tho Tiost amusing among the comedians. 1 he take oft on "Spanish Love," in ? \ hich the audience ?jets mixed up with; the actors, was decidedly hilarious. \nd there was excellent amusement in some aspects of "The Bat," which are ,.i v exaggerated, ?hs where iSI'irie Pressier, completely bewildered by the Hr.ickening mystery, claims the right o? ?.very citizen of ,New York to have ?ome one blackjacked in bi.i home in ? order to keep his standing in the com*) n.unity. Tot Qualtera wore some daring cos-1 t?mes and sang tot-qua'trains. Her I "Rattling Good Time" brought in a ' noi v dispensation of wooden rattlers j that were supplied to the audience. Nevada Van der Veer Sings N'evada Van der Veur, mezzo-con- ) Lralto, who s::.ng .-it Aeolian Hall yester? day afternoon, has one of the most beau- j tiful voices of the day. It is not only opulent in quality but sensuously coi- i ored. Her range is wide, and she sings? | with,ease and eloquence every typo of song, ranging from church music to works of the modern French school. Her program yesterday began with a group of ancient Christmas carols, charmingly given. Other songs were Schubert's "Omnipotence," Debussy's "Recueillement," Ravel's "La Flute En? chant?e," I'auiin's "Les Cygnes Noirs," Chabrier's "Les Cig'-'es" and others by Campbell-Tipton, Noble, Strickland and Gounod. Her singing of a group by [{ issian composers was particularly en? joyable, particularly Gretchaninoff's "My Nativo Land," for which she has both the voice and temperament. ?Navy to End Inducements And Weed Out Ind?sirables BOSTON, Pec. 29.?The navy having reached a high state, of numbers and of efficiency, the Bureau of Navigation an nounced in orders to-day that n<* fur ther inducements would be offered for en istrnents by former service men, and all u mies i rabies would be weeded out summarily.

Greenwich Village Theater last, night served to show that musical comedy is the one used point in dramatic entertainment. When Captain Macheath cried out in the second act "1 must have women" and a bevy was immediately produce?! to join him in a song about the doings of the barnyard, time seemed but a trifle. Mr. Gay might have been writ? ing for the Follies. Indeed Irving Ber? lin, from the row in front, was heard to exclaim in awe, "And this show was don* in 1727," as if the revelation that the folk of such a distant day went in for goings on wan news to him. Probably each generation in turn be? lieves that it was th'i first to rhyme, kiss and inisB ami set its couplets to rollicking airs. There was every evi? dence last night that neither Gay. nor anybody else of his day. spent much time in realizing that centuries full of subways, and steamboats and wars and w..r taxes were presently to pasa over them. Even an ultimate pro?luction by Art'? nr Hopkins, in all probability, lay without Gay's intention. Still, it seem.. hard to believe that he had no dim notion of the future or he would hard? ly have crammed his musical piece with so many drinking songs, with which to cheer by proxy an arid age. In many respects Gay was a modern? ist, for whenever he beard, anywhere a good tune such as an audience might be expected to whistle a.-' it went out he promptly seized upon it and made it his own by the simple process of writ? ing a new set of lyrics. The s: m?. practice, we are told, is not unknowr. to-day. To be sure, Gay's lyrics art. a good deal better than we exnrct t?' and in musical shows to-day, but thu1 did not serve to disturb the air o modernity?, tor as they were sung las night nobody could catch the word: very well, anyhow. Still it is only fuir to say that th? original company of Nigel Play fair's production, which has been im ported, is exceller,1 vocally in ever; respect but enunciation. Much the bes member or* the company is Percy Hem ing, who sang dejightful'y and playe? with unboundiiig humor and spirit This is a capital piece of work. Sylvii Nelis, the Polly Peachum, has a small pretty .voice. It was pleasing work las night and it will be still better to-ciu; and to-morrow, as it was evident tha the a ?ft re f.?-- v.as in agonies of nervous iicss. Dura Roselli as Lucy Lockit als. gave a good account of herself, an? Nonny Lock v.-as an attractive .Ten ; Diver. Alfred Heather also deserves ] word of praise. The chorus was un usually good, and such numbers as "Re ?ore the Barn Door Cro-.vinr;" and "Le Us Take to the Road' went, with a stir ring swing. And speaking of modernity it i worth noting that "The Beggar' Opera" is an excellent burlesque upo the happy ending, which is still wit us. for at the end just p.s the ; utl o i1.; intent upon sending Captain Mac heath, the philandering highwaymai to the gallows one of the players step out of his part to implore, "But, hones friend, I hope you don't, intend the Macheath shall he really executed." "Most certainly, sir," answers th Beggqr. "To make the piece perfect was for doing strict po? tical justice Macheath is to be hang'd; and for th other Personages of the Drama, ti: Audience must have suppos'd the were all either hang'd or transported "Why then, Friend," objects th player, "this is a downright dee Tragedy. The Catastrophe is man ie.-'tly wrong, for i?n opera must en happily." "Your objection, Sir," rcnlica th Beggar wearily, "is very just, and i easily removed. For you must allov that in this kind of Drama, 'tis no mai ter how absurdly things are brougr about. So-- - you rabble? there run and cry, A Reprieve!? let th Prisoner be brought back to his Wive in Triumph." "All this we must do," says tl: player, "to comply with the 'fuste t the Town." It is impossible to-day to identif a good deal of the music which wa originally used in "The. Beggar's ?pera and Fredetic Austin lias contribute much which ?s new, but also tunefi and general'y in keeping with t' spirit, of the rest of the operett There arc in all some thirty songs the version used last night. (.'. Lovi Fraser's scenery and costumes a just right, and always in close c ordination, which may not be said f? the orchestra and singers at all tim last night. "The Logger's Opera" is decided a show for the antiquarian, b"nt et\At j the rather slow first act it will d? just I as well for his granddaughter. .: Error in Robbery Address A reference in The Tribuno yestdf* day to the theft of $60,000 in If^mB, November 27, from a messenger ef tTrt le..??.,. jtid Company, err???? ously gave that concern'? adiresnt a* 736 Seventh Avenue.
