New Points on Early Printing.

Adrian Junius gives Laurenzes Roster
Of HARLEM tho credit Of printing the first
book from ENJOYABLE craven blocks, in
the year 143S. Four years later, Ia 1442,
John Fust (Haustl established his printing
office at Mainz and printed the book enti-
tied Tractatus Petri Hispani." This last
is what we and the English generally recS-
on as being the first product of printing
press where the operator used movable
types. Six years after Rosters efforts with
his movable craven blocks" Gutenberg
commenced to print the Bible, beginning
with movable wooden types in tho year
l444 and finishing the task in the year
1860 Some time during the 16 years in
which he was engaged in the work Of re-
producing the Holy Book he took time to
invent metal types. The exact date Of this
innovation is not known, but the experts
are certain that part Of the book was
printed on wooden block types and part
from metal
The above however, are not the points
which We wish to set forth. Recent inyes-
legations (by Shugeo, the Japanese sa-
yantj prove very conclusiyely that print
ing from movable types was an art well
understood and practiced in Japan as carly
as 770 A. D., nearly zoo years before the
date upon which Gutenberg finished his
celebrated Bible.
The same authority (Shugeo) says that
the Japanese printed from wood engrav-
ings in 1928, and that they were well ac-
quainted with the art Of printing in colors

What is the most striking instance OF
journalistic enterprise ON recordY ! fancy
it would be hard to beat the following
case, which remember being told me in
America: A reporter was dispatched from
New York to the distant scene Of an exc
cution. On arrival he found that the exc
cution was fixed for noon--a fixture just
an hour too late for him to get OF his dis
patch in time. Nothing dauntcd, he went
to the sheriff and implored that official to
put tho execution forward. The sheriff
naturally refused, but was ultimately so
far talked round as to promise to author
ize the change IF the person chiefly con
cerned made no objection" The reporter,
in accordance with the usual custom in
America, was admitted to the condemned
cell. where he explained his orrand I'd It's

" Gettysburg" And though 1
through the passage of years you are for |
ever free from duty Of enlistment, if lEu- |
ropean nations should too easily and too /
quickly forget the Monroe doctrine and |
set aggressive foot upon this continent,
think your ankles would be supple again,
md your arms would grow strong again,
md your eye would be keen enough to fol-
ow the stars Of the old flag wherever they
night lead.
