THE PRACTICE OF TYPOGRAPHY. A Treatise
se the the Name 9f yas s nG fhe P2dat PGa
Of Plain Printing o Types BY Theodore Low De
plain tale clearly told by one who is abso-
lutte master of his subject is always a delight
and never more so than when the subject is of
such never failing interest as the printers art.
Such is Mr.. Theodore Low De Vinne's little
book on typography-little. that is in size but
surprisingly solid in the hand and as full Of
matter as an egg is Of meat Nobody is better
qualified to speak this subject than Mr. De
Vinne a master printer. who has proved him
self worthy member Of a great line Of crafts
men, and who is. besides. student and a keen
thinker and critic. All these qualities appear in
his book. 1t is first of ALL practical in its pur-
pose. 1t deals with questions that are always
confronting typefounders, printers and readers
Of books; but the practical point Of view is
never quite dissocated from the aesthetic and
critical, when once the purely mechanical mat
ters, such as founding, the point system Of es-
tablishing type sizes, and the prices Of type
have been passed. The book is not an historical
treatise, and the rich field of ANTIQUARIAN lore
Mr. De Winnie has not touched except that he
has ingeniOusly contrived to make the thirty
odd pages devoted to specimens of the different
sizes Of type subserve the purpose Of a brief his
tory Of Typography. from Gutenberg 10 the
American Type Founders Company
The questions before the designer and cutter

Gated beyond the ken OF the inexpert. He must
be sure to put the face upon the BODY of the
type so that when set in lines the lines shall be
absolutely even: he must allow each letter on
It's body so much space the sides that there
shall be neither ungainly gaps nor confusing
proximity between letters as they appear in the
printed line; and he must make them truly
vertical Yet he must allow for various optical
Illusions; letters that are curved on the bottom
TO seem straight on the line of print, must fail
slightly below 1t; and, to secure the appearance

PALE BLUE AIR.
MssA a. Watsr-An Interest-

The color Of pure liquid air is q
beautiful pale blue. Before an east
ern college recently was exhibited
two samples Of liquid air in glass
tubes; one was made from air which
had been washed to purify it from
dust, SCOT. carbonic acid and other
impurities. This, when condensed.
was pale blue liquid; the other
sample was made by condensing some
Of the air Of the lecture room in which
the audience was assembled, and was
an opaque, blackish fluid, resembling
soup IN appearance. 1t would ap-
pear AZ 1T condensed samples of air
flight afford an easy means Of COM
airing different kinds of contamina-
tion. 1t may be possible some day
to supply the hospitals of tropical
countries where the natural cir sup
ply is bad. and the necessity for a
better one very pressing. with beau-
tiful blue country air guaranteed ab-
solutely pure. This can never be ac-
complisbed, however. until some
menns have been provided for trans
porting liquid air to considerable dis
tances without enormous losses,
caused by its return to ita former
state.
