For while the crowd yesterday imagined that
il was Clymer and not Nicol that was playing

TRACTION COMPANY IMPROVES.

The paving between the rails of the
Traction company has been extended
from Eighth avenue to hotel Anthra-
cite. The old pavement was very un-
even, and the re-laid portion is
marked improvement. A new switch
is being put in on upper Belmont
street. and within a few weeks all re-
pairs incident to the narrowing of the
guage will have been completed

CAUSE OF THE THUNDER.

The tearing up of the pavement on
Belmont street has revealed dhe cause
of the peculiar rumbling heard when
heavily loaded vehicles pass over the
roadway. 1t will be remembered that
the pavement was laid in the early
winter after frost had penetrated the
earth to considerable depth and now
a space of several inches may be seen
in places between the stratum of con-
crete and the solid ground below.

charming young woman before she
married Mr.. Blank and moved away
to live in Georgia. Her married life

she bore up underit. After the funeral
and general packing up of things
she returned to her old home. The
day after she arrived there she was
met on the street by one of her very

AS long ago as the year 1041, sc
history tells us, Chinese. blacksmith
Pl-Ching by name, made a paste OF
| glutinous earth upon which he en-.
graved separate characters. These
| he baked, making movable type Of
earthenware.
Even to this day in China the i'm.

ink was transmitted to type.
This way of taking an impression
continued until about 1474, when pelt
| baHs were introduced. If in perfect
order these would do good work.
They were made in the following
way:
A piece of strong grain pelt or skin
was selected, and from this the grease
had to be entirely removed. 1t was
then soaked IA or Is hours and after
ward "curried' by drawing it across
a post until. every particle of the
dampness had gone. Then long tread.
ing by the feet followed.
Wool was wrapped under the skin
and the pelt was, tightly placed over,
but the great difficulty of the opera
ton led to the introduction, about
1907. by Mr. Afaszvvell, of Philaf1elphia,
of the dressed sheepskins or ssskin
rollers as they were called. But
they, too, were abandoned, being
found too heavy for the hand
About 1915 Mr.. Fanshaw, of New
York, introduced an improved roller
made by wrapping blanket some
eight times around a piece of wood
31a inches in diameter, turned true,
and with an iron spindle on each end.
The skin was then tightly wound
around the blanket and afterwards
nailed to the wooden end
1t was in 1917, by the merest chance,
in one of the potteries in Stafford
shire, England, that the composition
of glue and molasses first saw the
light. This composition was used in
the potteries for what are commonly
called "dabbers."
Mr.. B. Foster, of Weybridge, Eng
land, was the first printer to apply
this composition to letterpress print

spread it, when in a liquid state, upon
piece of canvas and then made
ball OF it. This is the only way in
which it differed from the pelt ball.
The inventors of printing machin.
cry were not quite so slow, however.
About 1880 the composition was used
as a coating on wooden cylinders;
and here we have the first application
for printing presses worthy the name |
of "roller," without which printing
could never have reached |
the state of perfection it has attained |
