Az Early Printer,

According 10 the writer Of 4 napst
IN the North China Herald, the art Of
printing made greater progress In the
FloWery Land than is usually sup
posed, and had its patrons and Pro-
lessons Ike any other art. 1t is, of
course, we'll known that printing was
practiced in China ages before it was
introduced into Europe BY Coster, or
Gutenberg, or Faust, or whoever it
ives. But the name of the in1eatOr-if
the discovery is due to any one person
has not come down to US. That, how q
ever, OF the first great promoter Of the
at has survived. This was FenQ
Yiog Wang, who, in 932 A. D., advised
the Emperor TO have the Confucian
classics printed with wooden blocks
engraved for the purpose. The FIRST
books we're issued in pursuance of a
decree dated 953. Twenty yssrs after
the edict the books of the classics
were pronounced ready and were put
on sale. Large printed editions-the
only ones issued at frst--were soon
succeeded by pocket editions. The
works printed under the Lung empe-
rors at Hapgchow, we're, according to
the Herald. celebrated for their beau.
ty; those of western China came next.
and those Of Foklen last.movable
types OF copper and lead were
tried about the same time, but as il
was believed that mistakes were more
numerous with them the fixed blocks
we're preferred. In the sung dynasty
the method was also tried OF engraving
on soft clay, afterwards hardened by
baking. The separate characters were
in fact, seal. An iron plate was
prepared with ficing of turpentiue
aud wax, and over tins was placed an
iron frame, in which the clay types
were set up until it was full. Here
is, undoubtedly, the principle of the
printing press Of Europe, and thus
Fanst or Gutenberg has a prototrpe
in Feng Wing Wang, just as Columbus
hos in Prince ModOc Of Wales.

The February Planets.
Providence journal.

JuuIuhls
Venus is the morning star. the
brightest and fairest of the throng that
grace the morning sky. She rises now
three hours before the sun, shining
with the serene radiance that distin.
cuisines her, and continues to be visi
bic long after the lesser stars have
melted away in the star depths, al.
most in the very presence Of the king
Of day.
The February moon fulls on the
3lst, at 81 minutes after 7 O'Clock in
the evening. She takes only
three phases during the shortest
month of the year, appearing as
new moon, at her frst quarter,
and as full moon. She is in con-
junction before her change with
Venus, on the morning Of the 4th,
being only about one degree south.
On tho 9th she is near Mars, and on
the 7th near Mercury. Passing at
new moon to the suns eastern side,
she is in conjunction with Neptune
aud Saturn on the 18th. She is ct
her nearest point TO Jupiter on the
10th, and on the 23d, two DAYS after
the full, she is near Venus. When the
moon is in conjunction with planet,
she is in the same right ascension or
longitude, though her declination or
latitude may be several degrees
north or south. Those who watch
her progress eastward, averaging
thirteen degrees daily, will note that
her conjunction with the planets give
the order Of their position in regard
TO tbs sun Thus she passes Venus,
Mars and Mercury, the morning star,
then pays her respects to Neptune,
Saturn and Jupiter, the evening stars,
and ends the circuit by coming near
TO Uranus, morning star.

movements Of the planets in Febru-
airy will 6nd 1t interesting work To
