IL Was utterly unknown until n few
years after the invention OF printing.
In the days before that great era. when
all books were in manuscript, no scribe
ever thought OF prefacing his work
with separate page or leaf devoted to
the title.
When printing took the place OF writ
Ing. changes came gradually. In many
early printed books there was still
scope for handwork. Initial letters were
left for the "ruprisher." as he was
called. TO decorate and illuminate by
hand.
As books multiplied this practice. of
course. soon died out Occasionally
wealthy and luxurious book owners
would employ skillful illumination to
adorn the pages and margins OF n print

scripts had been Illuminated
The manuscript practice OF surround
ing the text with an orna mental border
was also often applied To early printed
books. The introduction OF the title

and new.
Printing was invented about 1850

A particularly noticeable feature i'm

Feeding the Many RaVenous Fur-
nnces In an Ocean Liner.
The work Of eternaIly pushing the
old ship on past the meridians-the

interest on the money-bcgins I'm the

that the stokehold is hot. and when

steadying yourself by taking incau-
uous hold of burning hand rails, and
stand for the first time face TO face
with the furnaces you feel assured OF
the fact.
But besides being hot, il is the most
Gctive, interesting part OF the ship. Ii
Is her whole life. You must spend
years studying IL before you can stand
there in command Of your watch with
your hand on the feed check valves.
your eyes on everything I'm general. and
keep the steam up where il belongs in
spite OF the ravenous engines sucking
1t away from you; years before you
can tell, in one swift glance. whether
a fireman is burning the greatest posi-
bic amount OF coal per hour in his fires
with the least amount OF waste.
The problem is this: Under a certain
large quantity OF water, which is con-
unually changing, build thirty fires.
and by means OF item, notwithstand-
Ing they must all be continually replen-
ished with fresh coal and freed from
ashes, keep it at a perfectly even tenn
perature (within n very few degrees)
day and night for an indefnit period.
The game Is the more interesting be-
cause ship can never afford to spare
more than just barely enough space
Tor her propelling machinery: conse-
quently everything boilers,
furnaces-must be worked to the very
limit of its capacity.
The game goes as regularly by turns
and in cycles as progressive whist
Starting with few fires first in order
the doors are opened to admit a few
shovelfuls of coal thrown quickly into
the front Of the furnaces, then closed
again as soon as possible lest too much
cold air should enter. AS soon as they
are closed the fires next in order are
served the same way and then a third
group Next the green" coal in the
first fires is raked back through the
furnaces to complete its combustion.
After another short interval IL is nee
essary to "slice" them-that is, probe
them with long pointed bars to lift the
clinkers from the CRATES and make air
passages. Finally it is time to stoke
again.-Benjamin Brooks in Scribner's.
