FIRST TO USE MOVABLE TYPE.
Coreans Originated the Practice Of
Making 1t of Metal.


Corea was the first OF all peoples to origi-
nate movable metal type, relates Harpers
Magazine. For hundreds of years the coun-
try and the king had been under the domina-
tion of the Buddhist priesthood and the land
was suffering the extremes Of sacerdotalism.
Every third son must by law become
monk in other words, an unproductive mem
Der Of society; the killing Of cow was a
greater crime than the killing OF man.
The peoples houses were being seized for the
erection of worse than useless monasteries
At last the general VI T'a-jo, whom a dot
ard king had sent upon the insane mission
of invading China, turned to his soldiers and
said "Shall we return to the capital and
apply ourselves to the cleansing OF the un-
speakable corruption of our country?" He
was applauded to the echo and, like Julius
Caesar, but with better purpose, he recrossed
the Yalu, Coreas Rubicor, marched back
upon the capital and sealed the death war
rant of sacerdotalism.
No sooner had the new dynasty been
founded in 1892 than literature received
new impetus through the revival of Con-
fucianism and the study OF the ancient clas-
sizes. The monasteries, which had become
the repositories Of the scholarship OF the
land, were fled with the unintelligible jar
gon Of buddhism, and literature was al
most wholly confined to its ritual, But now
schools were being established books were
being demanded and students were calling
impatiently for the time -honored classics.
Thus it was that in the reign of King T'a-
jong a fount of metal type was cast, the
first the world had ever seen. The art of
xylography had existed for centuries and clay
type had also been used in Japan, but Corea
was the frst to discern the need OF the
more permanent and durable form Of metal
type, and so we'll did it carry out its
plan that the type then cast has come down
to the present day practically unimpaired.
Each type was built on the principle OF the
arch, being cyllndrically concave on the
under side. The purpose OF this was to Sc
cure a frmer hold upon the bed OF bees
wax which constituted the form" technic-
ally SO called. shallow tray was filled
with wax and the type, after being firmly
imbedded in 1t, were "planed" in the ordl-
nary manner. The printer, sitting cross
fegged before it, applied liquid ink by means
of a soft brush, after which sheet OF
paper was lightly laid upon the form. A
piece of felt was brushed softly across the
porous paper with the right hand and the
left removed the printed page. In this way
1t was possible to strike off some 1900 I'M

BOLD ROBBERY IN QUAKER CITY
Employees of Trolley Line Held Up and
the Company Safe Looted of
Four Thousand Dollars.

PHILADELPHIA, June ia gang of
masked robbers, probably ten in number,
early this morning raided the receiving office
of the Fairmount Park Transportation COM
pany at Belmount, in Fairmount park, and
after holding up the reviewer and five other
employees of the railway, blew open the safe,
securing $4,000, the companys receipts for
two days.
Frank Leavan, receiver, Frank Watson
and Henry B. Whitehouse, conductors; James
Cavanaugh, fireman of the power house,
Philip Eaves, electrician, and William
Cadmus, laborer, were bound hand and foot
with wire. In addition to the men who actu-
ally committed the robbery others operated
miles away from the scene by destroying
telegraph and telephone wires connecting
with the trolley company's main offi2e.
The Fairmount Park Transportation COM
pany operates various lines of trolley cars
through the park, for pleasure rides. The
traffic being unusually heavy on Saturdays
and Sundays, the robbers evidently decided
upon this morning as being a good time to
make a big haul. The men above named
were all in the office when the burglars
made their appearance. Each intruder was
armed with two revolvers and they took
the employees completely by surprise. 1t was

been cracked and the gang disappeared.
The entire city detective force is on the
case, but the cracksmen leit no clue.
Frank Leavan, the night receiver, one OF
the men gagged and bound by the robbers,
told this story OF his experience:
while / was standing at the office door
/ heard footsteps in the rear Turning, |
saw two men with masks on their faces.
They had two big reyolvers and ran me into
the conductors room and tied my hands and
feet with wire and laid me on the floor
with my face to the wall In the conduc-
tors room ! saw Whitehouse was also be-
ing bound and gagged.
"When We were laid on the floor a man
was detailed TO guard us. In few min
utes in came another victim, whom l think
was Watson, a conductor, and he went
through the same thing. Then two more
came in and were hound The burglars
worked quietly. 1t only took them ten
minutes to blow the safe
THE guards frequently threatened to
shoot us II we made the last outcry or mo-

heavy to get away with.
Shortly after the money was taken our
guards left, Finally Phillip Eayes, the cleo

HOT FOOTRACE ON SUNDAY
Suspected Thief Sets Lively Pace for
officer Kissane, Whose Revolver
HaIts the Fugitive.

The usual Sunday afternoon crowd which
loiters about North Ninth street was treated
to an unusual bit of excitement yesterday.
There was throng around the patrol call
box at the corner OF Ninth street and Capt.
tol avenue, where Officer Kissane was bun
ding an arrested woman into the patrol
wagon. AS the vehicle started away and the
policeman turned to resume patroling his
beat he caught sight Of man in the crowd
for whom he had sought year or more for
larceny.
There are evidences that the suspect tried
to disguise himself and when he perceived
that he was discovered he turned and ran
with the officer in hot pursuit The suspect
is tall, lean man and he tried strategy.
Between two buildings on the opposite side
Of the street there was a passageway wide
enough to allow him to slip through, but
too narrow to admit the broader figure Of the
officer. Through this opening the suspect
darted. The policeman dashed around be-
hind the building and before the crowd had
time to follow, the suspect again appeared
on the street, having run around the other
side, but the officer was close on his trail.
Then ensued a footrace up the middle Of
the street and when the policeman observed
that he could not gain he drew his pistol
and fired a shot into the air. The suspect
didn't check his speed and so another shot
was fired, this time so low that the runner
could hear the bullet whiz past his ears.
1t had the desired effect. The man stopped
and was arrested.
The name he gave at the station is Jacob
Schwartz. The offense he is said to have
committed is the larceny of valuable watch
and $40 from a North Platte man named
Henry Potter, who came to see the sights Of
the exposition and fell into Schwartz COM
pany Potter says that his newly found
friend got him intoxicated and escorting him

MORGAN GIVES HIS IDEAS
subjects from EVcry-Dny Life from
which Valuable Sermons Might
He Preached.

At the regular monthly meeting OF the
Omaha Ministerial union Monday Rev.
Mr.. Morgan OF the First Baptist church read
a paper on the work which he believed to
be before the Christian churches and min
sters OF this day. The paper gave evidence
of having been carefully prepared and was
listened to attentively, for from the start
the other ministers realized something Of in
terest was to be said.
Mr.. Morgan held that there were subjects
OF every day impor 1nce upon which the
minister might preach and from which he
might draw some practical lessons. He be-
lieved sociological questions were timely,
and particularly the trusts which just now
are attracting the attention of every body.
Sanitary and political questions he thought
should be taken up in their turn and treated
in a comm n sense way.
Rclgiously he voiced fear that unless
there vas an awakening in Protestantism it
would be Overpowered by the Roman Cath
oic church. He said the latter church was
ever vig.lant and never stopped in its work
trying to disorgauize Protesantism. He
called upon the ministers to take up this
fight.
Mr.. Morgan made strong plea for the
theater not as the play house is generally
understood, but for the better ideal, that
which its true friends hope 1t to be. He de-
clared that IL better people gave their sup
port to the legitimate theater 1t would be-
come a power for good.
Finally he spoke for federation OF
churches, and thought it a mistake that any
organization should have withdrawn from
the Chstian Endeavor society because its
work was along the line of church unity.
Mr.. Morgans thcater and church unity
propositions were vigorously attacked by
some of the minister's but the discussion did
not take on the scope one might expect from
the smhiecfS trenteH In the naner.

cANTEEN SEEKS TO EvADE TAX.
Claim Advanced that II is nm "Instru-
mentality of GnNernm ent.n

WASHINGTON, June 19,-It is improbable
that the. War department will accept as
final the decision OF the PENNSYLVANIA state
court declaring that the army canteen is
subject to state taxation. The officer in
charge Of the canteen a. Camp Meade ap-
pealed to the War ieoatmNnt for assistance
in defending the case anG the department,
approving OF his application, transmitted
1t to the Department Of Justice with the
request that an officer Of that department
be assigned for that purpose 1t is believed
that the decision was rendered before the
defense could be prepared.
The principle involved is regarded as
important and 1t is significant that the Penn
sylvania decision is directly in conflict with
the formal opinion of the court Of claims on
thc case involving the canteen. That court
decided that the canteen was one OF The "in-
strumentalities of government" and there
fore exempt from taxation.
