so that the Indians may own it in severalty jim

to found lodging place in the best intelects
OF the age. All nature teens with the
thought of our unseen mind. The deep and
surprising Investigations of modern science
have added immensely to the strength of this
evidence and the theory of evolution has onlv
brought new strength to it. Numerous
citations relative to this subject from eminent
scientists metaphysicians were given. The

4 TYPE-SETTlNG MACHINE.
Description cf Its operation-A Practical
Tcst-The Result.

pcs--ioticn of Its 0peraticn-A Practical
Tcst-The Result.
A ,srre number OF people visited Colts
armorr the ether day to witness tho operation
of the machine invental and dcvolped by Mr.
Joseph Thorn, which sets and distributes type
at a great pace, and which has had practical
test OF more than year in New Yorl, where
several have been steadily il uso during that
timo. Tho machine looks ike round tower
with keyboard in front end shelves at the
side The operator plays on the keys, and typo
Is carried out 70 trough and Oh to the
.hclG gllere the procession Of pieces Of metal
is cut at intervals, each corresponding to the
length CT q i:na. Here another operator
justife5 the mater, that is takes out or puts
In spaces to make the words como at proper
distancas from each other and the type exact
lyfill the line. While this is going on other
typo is being distributed. To understand
this it Is necessary to 50 back to the upright
cylinder lrst mentioned. This is ,ualo il two
parts, one raYolying above tbs other, and
each HAVING ninety vertical grooves in which
tho type rests. Each groove in the lower
cylinder, which il stationary, has ridges
within it which correspond 20 thu projecting
tumblers IN a lock, those in each groove being
different from those Ia any other. Each typo
has corresponding notches cut in it, ika
wards on q steel key, and tho arrangement il
such that tho type falls from the upper rs-
volving cylinder only when its notches cor
respond to the wards in q groove OF the lower
cylinder over which il is passing. Now by
simple arrangement whole limo Of typo is
thrust into tho upper cylinder. This Is re-
volving fast and when the lowest typo finds
its appropriate groove IN tho lower cylinder
1t drops into IT, Then The enc just above it
goes through the sane performance and than
the next, end 50 on.
There Is an ingenious arrangement by
which The type that is set is gos into q trough
Tho motion Of the key simply throws them
out horizontally. They fail on round platoa
little larger than The Bottom OF the cylinder
In one Of whose grooves they have been rest
ing, and its motion thro"5 them out against
It's circumference whore at q certain point
they are shuntad into the trough and 20 or -
