CoREANs CLAIM THE CREDIT.
Said to Have Been the First to Make
Movable Type.

According to a recent article on
Corea in one of our monthly maya
zines, that country lays claim to have
cast the first font of metal type the
world had ever seen. The art or
typography had existed for centuries
and clay type had alone been used
in Japan, but Corea was the first to
discern the need Of the now perma-
lei and durable form Of metal type.
Each ty pe was built on the principle
OF the arch, being cylindrically con-
cave on the under side. The purpose
of this was to secure a firmer hold
upon the bed of beeswax which con-
stituted the form. A shallow tray was
filled with wax, the type firmly EN-
bedded in 1t. The printer, sitting
cross-legged before it, applied liquid
ink by means of a soft brush, after
which a 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 renewed the printed page. In
this way it was possible to strike of
1900 Impressions in a day.
