TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
First Newspaper Printed by Steam-November Is

The twenty-eighth OF November. 1874
forms an important date IN the history OF
printing. and consequently in that OF civ
ilization. for II was on that date that the
first issue OF the London Times printed
by steam appeared. Steam as a motive
power was fast coming into use in all the
arts, and it was but natural that the
newspaper. which was showing a great
advancement az this period. should apply
steam as motive power Previous to
this all newspapers had been printed by
manual power.
The common printing press. though
much improved during the second half
OF the eighteenth century, could seldom
strike of more than two or three hun
bred impressions per hour. with one man

the press. In 1870 Mr.. W. Nicholson. an
Englishman, obtained letters patent for
a machine similar IN many respects 10
those later adopted; but II does not APP
pear that he brought his invention into
practice.
Al the time OF the introduction of the
steam press into the London Times plant
that journal had circulation of between
5000 and 1900. which was considered very
large IN those days. John Walter was
the proprietor OF the paper at that time.
In 1894, Thomas Martyr, a compOsitor IN
his employ. produced d model OF a self
acting machine for working the press:
and Walter supplied him with money TO
continue his ingenious lakors. The press
men, however, were so bitterly hostile TO
eny such innovation that Martyr was
placed almost IN fear of his life, and the
scheme fell 20 the ground
But Walter was not man 70 be beaten
