The Imprints on them, beautiful and minute, wore made with bronze Vnineh es while the material was soft. That was 4,000 yea rs ago. />' King Sar^on became forgotten. Chaldea became forgotten. Europe be en mr great. * Columbus was born. It was .'l.noo years after King Saigon. Hooks still were being written by hand. Columbus was growing Into a lad when?the Urxt defective improvement came. It was In 1454. Then Johanu Outenberg made the llrst book with movable type. Men had printed for ages. They had even printed In colors, from wood blocks and with other devices. The greatness of Guetnberg's achievement was not in printing, but In the success ful use of separate type. In that mo ment the human spirit found means of expression : and knowledge possess ed till then by the few. was given to all. Columbus found the New World. Spain lost It. then 'France, then Eng land. The young Republic flung Its banners of states across the Appala chians. Printing still was almost as laborious as in Gutenberg's day. The printing press did not accompany the pioneer. < >ur Civil War came. Its news wais M>t by band as Gutenberg haul set his lirst book. The compositor reached into his case of typp for each letter separately, and separately dropi>ed It. into plaice to spell each word. To set a page no larger than am ordinary book the compositor's hand haul to move one-half mile. It wais iss<;. four hundred and thir ty-two years after Cut en berg's llrst t.V|>e was set, before the printer was emancipated from this painful useless .?labor. In t hart year there appeared the llrst copy of ai newspaper whose type had been composed not by hand, but by an Instrument. The newspaper was the New York Tribune. The Instrument w as the lino type. That was only thirty years ago. To day newspapers composed on the lino type greet the sun in its flight around the world. They are in Africa, north and south. They are in Sll>cria. In dia and China, Japan and the Phlli plnes, Hawaii, even the I^adrone is lands of the far Pacific know the lino type. They tell the news in Alaska. They print It in Spanish and Portu * and a thousand miles up the Amazon river. It is an achievement of onr gener atlon ami typical < >f It. "Thomas A. Kdlson says It Is one of the ton won ders of the world. It Is not' a "ty|f?-scttl'yg" machine. It lias not a piece of typo In it. It makes It own type ? a new letter ev ery time; ami every time It forms a \ 4 * sentence It does twenty- three separate ami Intricate things. To tell how this complex*, marvel ous instrument was devised. Improved and made perfect Is to tell a story of courage rather than mere Inventive The original device did not have even the genu of the linotype In It. It failed again and again. It sue ceeded in nothing save In impoverish ing all who had anything to do with it. Hut it planted in their brains and spirits a dream. They raised more money. They en gaged ottftiar Mepgenthaler, then work ing as a mechanic in a Baltimore shop. From that time on the story Is the story of improvement after improve ments that refused obstinately for all their wonderful ingenuity, to produce a. successful machine. More than one great invention or discovery, beset with such ditlieulties, has been abandoned In despair, to lie Idle and forgotten for years or even generations, till netv men found new courage to take It up itgain. This invention, fortunately, bad men behind It who would not give up. They stayed. They heartened each other, and they heartened the inventor, ever and again. Ever and again they refilled the ever emptying treasury. To-day, perfected to a degree that Mergenthaler would not have consid ered possible, there are .'50, (MX) llno types working around the world. ? Exchange. (Jets Thirty-Year Sentence.
