lossus Of this family once grew in the
town Of 0rotava, Tenerife, which was
eighty feet In circumference at the
base, hollow inside, with n staircase

marks that its antiquity must have
been greater than that of the pyra-

THE FIRST PRINTING.
sems of the Earliest Examples Of the
| ART Preservatlve.

sesne Of the Earliest Examples of the
ART PreseFvative,
The following are the earliest known
examples Of printlng-two indulgences,
printed usually on one side only Of a
single piece Of vellum and two magnif-
lcent bibles, or these one Is known to
be the tirst complete book that ever
was printed by the wonderful new In
vention. which, as the early printers 30
often proudly state In their colophons,
produced letters without the aid Of
any sort Of pen. whether Of Quill, Of
reed or OF metal"
The first piece Of printing which Ii
actually dated Is the famous indul-
gence OF Nicholas v. to such as should
contribute money to aid the king Of
Cyprus against the Turks, This indul-
gence has the printed year date 1454,
and a copy in The Hague museum has
the date "Nov. 10" filled In with pen.
Mr.. Dun tells US that Sin the years
1464 and 1455 there was large de-
mand for these indulgences, and seven
editions were issued. These may be
divided Into two sets, the one contain
ing thirty-one lines, the other thirty
lines, the flrst dated example belong
ing to the former"
This thirty line edition Is shown to
have been printed by Peter Schoeffer
de Gernsheim by the fact that some Of
the initial letters which occur in It ap-
pear in another later indulgence Of
l4S9, which Is known to have come
from his press.-saturday Review.

The National Guard.

Sonata File No. 5, introduced in
the State Senate by Mr.. Schnitger
relating to the reorganization of the
National Guard of Wyoming, is "a
measure hat should pass. The Ma
tional Guard of this State has been
an organization in name more than
in fact, and not through the fault of
the officers or men who have been
connected Herewith but through IA
lack of authority to enforce attend
ance and proper respect due that
body by the rank and file who make
up the organization.
The new bill provides for the col
lection of all fines or dues assessed
by the bylaws of any company, by
civil suit, and further provides that
after judgement is rendered unless
such fines or assessments be paid the
delinquent may be confined in Jail at
Sl.UO per day until such Judgement
is satisfied, providing that NJ confine-
ment shall exceed ten days.
Heretofore on-attendance at drill
or misdemeanor, were punishable by
fine but no provision whatever being
made for the collection of such fines
there was no recource to either civil
or military action, consequently the
imposition of a fine was a farce, and
through the inability to enforce
obedience and respect, the different
companies of the state are zone too
strong.
The inetficiency of the law as it
now stands was plainly illustrated in
the case of the company organized in
Saratoga "A couple of years ago.
While everything was new interest
was very keen, but as is usual in
such cases, the members gradually
lost interest and the inability of the
officers to enforce attendance and
obedience resulted in the company's
being mustered out.
