lliHory of Machines Cued to Set Type
For The (iiroulele.
Surgeon, klii^r of Chaldea, had ny li
brary. The books were halved clay.
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. ?

Now and during August is the beat
time to top-bud pecan trees.
(Jet in your crqp of fall. Irish i>ota
toes now or it Will lie too fate.
Apples -may lie satisfactorily budded
by the same method as Is used for
budding peaches.
Pull the soli from" onions as they
approach maturity. They will ripen
better for this.
Plant beets, rutabagas and turnips
now for late fall and winter use.
If you have no way of conveniently
watering the flower bed, mulch it heav
ily with stable manure. This will aid
greatly in retaining the moisture.
To prevent your apples and graiies
from rotting, spray them with Bor
deaux mixture. See Circular 25 of
South Caroliua Experiment Station for
formula. '
l>o not fall to set a few rows^of
late tomatoes. If gathered just be
fore frost and wrapped In paper, the
green fruit will keep until Christmas,
or later, and ripen well.
The sight if beautiful fruit at this*
season should induce you to start an
orchard yourself this fall. If you have
money to throw away and do not mind
taking chances of not getting the trees
you want, orderf roiu a tree agent.
Otherwise, order your trees direct -from
