den IN the Old Family Bible.
Nevada, Iowa, July L. From an
humble widow conducting a small mil
linery establishment in country vii
lage, to a woman of wealth in day,
is the transformation that has taken
place in the case of Mrs. Meta Higbee
Of Maxwell. Yesterday Mrs. Higbee
received word from a brother in At
lantic City, N. j., saying that they
were two of the thirteen heirs to for
tune of $55, 100000 and the settlement
is to be made within year.
About a century ago, Jonathan
steelman, one of the first pilots of
New York, owned a large tract of land
in what is. now the central part of the
city. He leased the land to promot-
er for a period of ninety nine years.
Later part Of the tract was released
to the city and public buildings have
been erected upon the land A short
time ago the lease expired and a
search was made for the heirs of JON
athan Steelman. An old family Bible
stored away in a garnet revealed the
necessary information eventually and
the matter is now being adjusted.
Jonathan Steelman as we'll as his
son, the grandfather of Mrs. Higbee
was very secretive man and told
nothing of his business affairs. The
leased lands were known of in later
years, but all information to be gained
about them was very vague.

HISTORY OF PRINTED BOOKS.
Movable Type Known to the Romans
Chinese and Koreans Many
Centuries Ago.

"The Evolution Of the Printed Boob
from the Ancient Manuscript to tho
Present Day" was the subject Of an
interesting lecture recently by Williams
d. circuit, of the University Press, In
Wesleyan hall, before the members OF
the Society Of Designers and Engrav-
ers, says the Boston Transcript. The
lecturer first pointed out the antiquity
of the movable type" and its having
been known to the Romans. Chinese

large way or with knowledge Of its,
possibilities until applied by Guten.
burg about 1899. Soon after this cams
the period Of the "Humanities" In Its
erature and the making Of elegant
manuscript books. On the splendid
work of the scribes in the manuscript
books of this period we're based the
type faces which have become the
standard for all time in the occident.
The lecturer described the various
vicissltudes of erratic forms In types
through which the title page went,
and told of the contributions made to,
the cause OF printing by such men al,
SAldus Nautilus and his sons; Jensen,
Christopher Plautin, the Dutch print.
err, who carried the title page to elab-
crate perfection, and William Morris,
who might be said to have restored
the art of printing to its early glory.
Some of the defects of the Morris style
we're pointed out, especially his aver
sion to putting leads between the lines
of type, which resulted in massive
page without any relief In color value
between the lines. Still Morris eff
fected revolution and placed book
printing on higher plane than 1t had
been for centuries.
Mr.. circuit called attention to thu
American faces that had been the re-
suit of the Morris movement In Eng
land-the De Winnie. Renner, the Mon-.
taigne by BRUCE Rogers, and the Mer.
rymount face, by Goodhue. These va
rious type faces and the early manu-.
scripts from which Aldus and Jensen
made their types were shown by
means Of lantern slides. as were

printers and finally the new type face
designed for the University Press
based on some Of the best Of the
manuscript volumes Of the "IyaaesASs
ties period" In Italy.
