ING MAcHlNE.---A communication iron

San important invention has beer
made here, which has already proved per
fecty practical, and whose results vii
have incalcuhble effects on the periodical
press especially. 1t is The invention of a
thoroughly successful type composing ma
chine, in the form of piano, having the

OF 800 types in minute, and $1,000 in
an hour. The machine, therefore, is evil

tiers, can be composed simultaneously, and
therefore whole sentences be finished in
great numbers and cotemporari,, which.
Of course, is of great importance ia cases
Of vast editions of newspapers, period.
Gals, and works generally that have
large circulation. The machine was COM
pIetcd by the inventor at the royal impe.
rial printing Office of the court and state
Of this city, in the presence and the un
firing cooperation of the distinguished
superintendent of this imperial institute,
after several experiments had been made,
in the course of about year.
The application and usefulness Of the |
machine have been tested with the utmost
scrutiny, and it has been triumphant. -
Entirely different from one or two Of its |
predecessors, which did not succeed or
come TO light, it is from appearance sen.
der and light as if il had sprung from
nolhlng-a seam-engine of the press,
which, according TO The opinion of one Of
the most competent judges, will never be
surpassed in the simplicity of the princ-
pie OF its construction. And now the
great typographical problem of this de-
cennlnm may be considered solved. The
distinguished Hungarian mcchanician, Pc.
ter Won Klieged, of Presburgh, to our
knowledge, engaged first in the solution
Of this problem. His example was soon
followed by Young and Delcambre in
England and France, and Menkh Of Ham.

Ter their attempts had proved fruitless for
practice at least.
"Ihe invention will henceforth occupy
place among the most influential Of this
distinguished century. And the name OF
The inventor? Its Il. l. IschuIik, Young
