rived by the Oceanic S. :. Australia
and will wait over here till the next
liner for the Colonies comes along.
There are six other Taylors at the
hotel and counting the son of one and
a man named Schneider there are the
nine historical as a trade unit. In
ventor Taylor is a dark, nervous, sun
burned, quick speaking man. He is a
native of the United States of North
America and citizen of the world at
large. Mr. Taylor is interested as
shareholder in some fourteen newspa-
pers using seventy-three linotype ma
chimes In Great Britain and has similar
Ownership connections in his home
land and in Australia.
Inventor Taylor is in the gold medal
department or class in the list at the
patent Offices in Washington and has
his name enrolled score or more of
times in every patent Office on the
globe. He has received nearly half a
hundred sets of papers from the au-
thorities at Washington and all of the
contrivances are in use. In some of the
companies he holds shares. Several
inventions, notably the machine for
picking fur from hides, he sold out

of the fur picking machine from watch

all his time and energies to advance
ment of the Taylor color printing pro-
cess, of which he is the inventor. The
firm is Sherman, Taylor 4 Co., with
Offices at 1856, West 22nd street, New
York City, and factory at Plainfeld,
n. J. This process, second alone to
the linotype, is the most remarkable,
by long odds of any feature or i'm
Iprovement added to the printing bust
mess in 100 years. The patent papers
read that the process Is for the print
ing of two or more colors with one
impression" This was the effort OF
the best printers and pressmen for
years and years, but the success
achieved, till Mr.. Taylor went into tn,

} all. His process is perfect, So entirely
satisfactory in every way that 1t Occu'

liner of San Francisco and the lesser
publications in many American cities
and towns use the Taylor process If not
every day, at least for their Sunday
editions. The Journal of New Yori
and the Examiner were perhaps tn,

done with the single impression. The
! wonderful machinery for the perform
ance of this work is an attachment
that can be added to the class Of

Of the process is in the job Offices ant
the Offices of the high class literar!
and artistic publications. To thes'
concerns the process opens new field
making possible just exactly what wal
most desired, but SO entirely despairet
