chinist OF that paper. Speaking of the
invention, Mr.. Hill says:
This device is the result of one Of
the first ideas which impressed me upon
seeing the linotype machine in opera
ton, and would have been placed on
the market several years ago had. i the
opportunity of impI owing it.
I'VE not only claim, but can demon
strate to the publisher of any news
paper, book or magazine, that if once
put on his machines he will never dis
pense with it. The quantity of leads
on hand will never have to be increased
or replenished. 1t w II entirely step tn :
purchase Of leads, which. in newspa-
quired, is q rather expensive luxury, as
they have to be of brass
The present system of leading mat
ter by hand is very expensive, to say
nothing of the time consumed in un-
leading after matter has been used.
Our device entirely does away with
this. The copycutter or editor can
mark his copy as he wishes it to ap-
pear in print, and the operator will
dump his type on the galley just as
marked, without a particle Of lost
time.
THE device is 50 arranged that the
matter can be loaded with thick lead 5
uwo-poinD, thin leads (one- point, or
less, or set solid, as is desired by sim
ply raising or lowering the small lever
K, which can be done as quickly as
touching key. The lever will also
act in leading matter to any thickness
of leads desired, and is the means of
keeping perfect the adjustment of the
machine when it is desired to change
from one size type to another i. E..
from agate to nonpareil or to the larg-
est slug cast on typesetting machine
It will also work on any length of slug.
"All this is done without the assist
ance of the machinist, and can be ac-
complished instantaneously while the
| chine is in motion, unless it is de-
sired to change magazines. Then the
only work for the machinist is to turn
the mold disc around and put up diff
ferent magazine. The operator can ad-
| just with line, all mechanism
heretofore adjusted by the machinist,
with wrenches. chronometer, liners,
etc. and at all times produce per-
fectly parallel slug. This Is especially
convenient for small plants not en-
ploying regular naachtnist."

pays to buy just the same; but it takes
what they are. Such man was the
late Bertram, earl of Ashburnham,
whose collection has been sold in Lon
don within the past year, beginning
in June and ending two weeks ago,
when the third and final part was dis
posed of. For the entire collection a
sum in excess of $500, 600 has been real
lied. This represents a profit, and, in
the case of many books a very large
profit. The Earl of Ashburnham knew
what to buy-what books collectors
wanted. or were likely to want. In
word, he had the foresight of men
who make money in other lines. He
knew how to buy cheaply things which
would be worth money. 1t is with
books as with lands, stocks. bonds and
merchandise. To make money you
must buy what you can sell for
more than you pay. Only one collection
of books has ever been sold at auction
for larger sum than the Ashburnham
collection has now brought. This was
the Beclford library. gathered origin
ally by the author of "Vathek," that
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. whose father was
an alderman in London, who, in dying,
made William Beckford what Byron
called him-"England wealthiest son."
Beckford was the builder of the famous
Gothic pile called FonthiH abbey. which
had an enormous tower that fell Of its
own weight in the building of it.
In the New York auction room was
recently sold a copy of the first edi-
ton of Hawthorne's "Fanshawe"-the
first book Hawthorne wrote, and which
he disliked so much that he suppressed
all the copies he could recall after pub
LEGATION. "'Fanshawe" is, therefore, one
of the scarcest books among all the
writings of American authors who have
become classics. On its title page it
bore curious and significant motto
wilt Thou Go on With me?" Very
much in the affirmative has the an
swer of the public been to that ques-
ton. Many years ago it was my good
fortune to secure, in an auction house,
a copy of "Fanshawe" in peculiar cir
cumstances. Tied up with rope Of
the clothesline order, was offered a
bundle of about fifty old novels, bound
in boards. Accidentally 1 had discOv
cred that among them was Fan
Shave" and purchased this lot for a
few cents each. Removing "Fanshawe,"
1 sold the remainder of the novels for
sum which made the "Fanshawe"
stand me in only s1.5O. At the recent
sale Of copy in this city, "Fanshawe"
brought $165. The copy for which I
paid S1.50 1 sold some fifteen years ago
for $50. An earl Of Ashburnham would
have kept "Fanshawe" until now, when
it brings $165. Francis w. Halsey.
