A TYPE SETTING MAcHINE.-Althoueh
the attention of mechanics and inventors has
for many years been directed to the possible
ity of some mechanical contrivance by which
the type for newspapers and books might bs
arranged or "set" by machinery, no adapt l.
ton OF machinery has yet been made that has
been successful, but simply because of tie
complication and liability to get out of order
ofevery machine yet constructed. But the g
is a machine for type setting being completed
in this city, the working Of crudely con-
structed model of which we witnessed yry-
terday, that appears to solve the problea.
AS 1t is at present in an unfinished OF ul-
completed state, we have no authority f'r
giving description. 1t has been i'm progre
OF completion for more than two years, ard
although still unfinished it will do the work 0f

chine is completed we shall give a iuii ue-
