The art of printing has found, within
recent years, good many developments
of which the average well-informed per-
son knows nothing. Machines, for eX-
ample, have been patented for printing
on matches. The matches are thrown
into hopper, whereupon a revolving
wheel receives them one by one in its
teeth and carries them beneath the in
strument that stamps the legend upon
them. Another continuance prints up
on gunwads data which informs the
sportsman, when he looks into the end
OF each cartridge, how much powder it
contains and what is the size of the
shot.
The printing on stockings, which in
cludes the trademark and often some
such words as Fast Black" is done by
a machine made for that sole purpose.
Another machine prints lettering on
cigars, and yet another adorns barrels
with the firm names of the concerns
whose products fill them. There is a
special device for printing on the ends
of spools of thread, and another for
putting letters on buckets. One of the
most curious contrlvances is machine
for printing on gelatine capsules. An
other device is for printing oil broom
handles the name and address of the
manufacturer. The lettering on collars
and cuffs, which states the trademark
and number. is done by machine built
for that particular purpose.
But the very newest contrlvance III
this class of inventions is machine for
printing advertisements on the asphalt
pavement of streets. is a species of
bicycle, the tire OF the front wheel hav
ing a series of raised letters on its
periphery. These letters, as the wheel
revOlves, print the name of a soap, or
what not, while an automatic blower,at
the bottom of the fork blows the dust
away from the pavement in front.
