Typesetting Machines.

In answer to the query, "How ole
are typesetting machines?" the Lon
don Chronicle prints an extract from
a copy of the local Herald of 1928:
"Dr. Church is now at Birmingham
preparing his new printing machine
The compositor has only to sit down
at this curious mechanism as he would
at pianoforte, and as he strikes the
keys the types all fall from the case
into their proper places with veloci
ty that keeps pace with the most rapid
speaker. The form having beer
worked off, the type moves into the
melting pot, from which 1t is returned
recast into its original state, without
any diminution OF material, and
thence distributed into the case quite
new. One of these machines placed
lat the bar of the house Of commons
would always insure correct report
of the debate. DIR. Church, the in
|ventor, is native of Boston, in New

MIsTLEToE: ITS TRADITIONS
Ancient Britons Worshiped Sun and
They Gathered Only What Was
Sacred to That God.

There are some pretty traditions
connected with the use of the mistle-
toe at this season of the year that
date back to the ancient celebrations,
declares the Detroit Free Press. The
ancient Britons worshiped the god
Tutanes, the god Of the sun. OF course
the winter solstice, or the turning
point of the sun in it's course, the
change from decreasing to increasing
length of days, was an occasion for
rejoicing among that people. Their
customs, practiced by the Druid
priests, were therefore appropriate.
They went out at this season of the
year to gather the revered mistletoe,
and 1t is significant that they cared
for none but that which grew upon the
trunk of an oak tree, which was sacred
to the sun god. Two white bullocks
were led out and tied to the oak tree
upon which the plant was found.
When the mistletoe had been detached
by the priests the bullocks were sacri.
feed. The mistletoe was hung UP
above the doors of the houses to insure
good luck for the year that was about
to begin. In Normandy the plants are
still gathered in great quantities and
shipped to England and America fol
what purposes we we'll know. The
hanging up of the mistletoe seems te
reflect somewhat the custom of the
Druids and the Britons of centuries
ago.
/, The mistletoe grows in England AMI
parts of France, especially on apple
trees. So closely does it cling to the
trees THAT it saps their life and Otter
kills them
