Wonderful Machine.-A great degree
of interest has recently been excited at
Presburg by tho invention Of machine
which promises to effect wonderful revo-
luton in the art Of printing. Tho inven-
tor is person named Joseph Won Kliegel
and the machine is said to possess the two
fold power Of superceding the operation Of
the hand in composing and sorting or dis
tributing types. Only the model, has, as
yet, been produced, but committee has
been formed at Presburg, under the super
intendence of Count Ludwig Bathuany,
for the purpose Of raising the funds neces-
sary for the construction Of tho machine.
Won Kliegel has given TO this invention
the name of IyPograPhhIische schnellsez,
und-sorter machine. Though capable Of
conjoint operation in the process of COM
posing and distributing types, yet the two
powers of the machine, being quito dis
tinct and independent of each other, are
capable of acting separately. Herr Won
Kliegel has pledged himself first to com
plete that portion Of the machine first ap-
plicable to type-sorting. A sheet Of Cice-
no type may, it is said, be broken up and
distributed within the duration of an hour
and half by an operation which requires
no manual aid, and may be mado to act
day and night, like clock work. In the
course of day ten sheets may be broken
up and distributed. Tho composing ma
chine is with the distributing machine, SO
that the type boxes may be instantaneous
ly transferred from the latter 10 the former.
The distributing machine is worked by
means Of handle, turned like that Of q
mangle. The composing machine acts by
means Of keyboard, like that of piano
forte, which must be touched by the COM
position. 1t is expected that by tho aid Of
this invention words may be composed as
rapidly as they are spelt. Even slow,
Impractical composition may compose a
sheet Of Cicero type in an hour and half
and he requires no other help than boy
to lift from the machine each page as it is
completed.

An extraordinary Rencontre recently
occurred at an hotel in Havre, France -
Amongst the travellers who had arrived on
the Same day, and who were dining at the
table d'hote, were :hree gentlemen, who
were relating to each other their adven
lures. One had arrived after an absence
Of twenty years, from the United States,
where he had been to retrieve his fortune,
and had succeeded. Another, who left
France at the Same time, had gone TO
Egypt, and entered into the military SER
vice Of the Pacha, who had rewarded him
with fortune and honors; and the third had
been attached to various voyages of dis
covery as an artist, and now returned,
with competence and pension from the
State. These three persons ore brothers
and were born at Rouen, in the same house!
At the death Of their parents, theysall set
out on the same day! and, by singular
coincidence, they returned on the Same day,
after an absence Of twenty years, dueing
which period they had never even heard
Of each other!

a vessel of war the advantages would be
palpable. This opinion has been express sed
by officers Of the royal navy who have
witnessed The performance of the Archi-
modes. When it is recolIcctc6 that this
invention is yet in its infancy, and that
the Archimedes is the first vessel on a
large scale that has been constructed on
the new principle, we may readily infer
that the introduction Of the screw in the
construction of steamers is destined to work
an important change in one of the most es-
scntlal features of naval architecture.

It appears from this statement, which
we have derived from official documents,
that the importation of spirits last year was
larger than in either Of the five preceding
years and of wines, rather above the
average. But within the period mention
ed, there has been great diminution in
the quantity Of spirits manufactured in this
country.

The PeriIs Of The Sea.-Perhaps the

to Sidney, New South Wales to repair
and rcfit. The following extract of a let
ter from person on board tho ship will
give the reader some idea of it, though the
nautical terms will make it less clear to
some Of our readers than to those who re
familiar with them.
Sidney, New Soutb Wales,
March 16 1910.
Before this reaches you, you probably
have heard Of our return TO this port for
repairs, having been compelled to do SO
by injuries sustained in the ice, by which
we were confined for 40 most anxious hours
for twenty hours with the imminent fear
of most awful death. SO closely was the
ice packed around US, and in such vast
masses, that even under a press of canvass,
assisted by ice anchors and every other
means that experience oranecessity could
suggest, we at times remained motionless
for hours, the ice cutting into the vitals of
the ship, and threatening to grind US to
powder.
On the evening Of the-(datc forgotten,

pearances Of land, chcered with the pros
pect Of reaching it, we worked in through
heavy drift of ice; and next morning, a.
bout A. Nj. in endeavoring to avoid
large mass ahead, we gave her stern
board, which almost instantly brought the
rudder in contact with another mass, and
SO violent was the shock, that the rudder-
head was wrenched off, and the rudder
fixed immoyably athwart ships, rendering
