PRINTING IN CHINA.
Often No Presses Are Used, Pair Of
Brushes Doing the Work.

Often No Presses Are Used, a Pair OF
Brushes Doing the Work.
The Chinese assert that the art of
printing was discovered in China about
fifty years before the Christian era.
Until the discovery Of the art of pa
permahng, A. D. 90, they printed on
silk or cloth cut In the form OF leaves.
The method employed to this day by
many native Chinese printers is as
follows:
No printing press is used. The deli
cate nature Of the Chinese paper would
not admit of it. When the blocks are
engraved, the paper cut and the ink
ready one man with his brush will
print a large number of sheets in
day.
The block to be printed must be plac-
ed perfectly level and secured firmly.
The printer has two brushes, one of
them sitter than the other, which he
can hold in his hand and use at either
end.
He dips it into the ink and rubs the
block with it, taking care not to mois-
II
it were wetted too much the characters
would be blurred; If too little, they
would not print. When once the block
is got into the proper condition he can
print three or four impressions with
out dipping his brush into the ink
again.
The second brush is used to rub over
the paper with small degree of pres
sure, that 1t may take the impression.
This it does easily, for, not being sized
with alum, it receives the ink the in
slant it comes in contact with it. 1t
is only necessary that the brush should
be passed over every part of the sheet
with a greater or smaller degree of
pressure and repeated In proportion
as the printer finds there is more or
less ink upon the block.-Harper's
Weekly.

Bagpipes, mentioned in Jeremiah
Xviii. SO, mine heart shall sound for
Moab like pipes, like pipes for the men
of Kir-heres," and elsewhere in Scrip
ture were used also by the early Egyp
tians. Both Greeks and Romans knew
the instrument, for coin of Nero
shows upon one side the tibia utricu
laris, bag with two reeds and nine
pipes. Procopius also. who wrote
about $50 A. d., asserts that Roman
soldiers sometimes marched to the
sound Of the bagpipes, and it is not i'm
possible that they introduced them into
the British islands. The earliest. more
modern reference to them is in an
Irish MS of 1850. and an Irish illumi
mated MS. of 1890 depicts Il pig play
ing on the bagnipes. The Scottish
highlanders were the first and only
people to use the great war pipe. as
the highland regiments still do.

TIE STRUGGLE over the guilt or inno-
cence Of certain parties In Atlantic City
will not end with the conviction and SEN
tence Of some of the accused but the
affair will leave bad taste In the mouth
Tor long time. The Atlantic City
Rsuieso, edited by Harvey Thomas, whose
characteristics are well known around
here, has accused minister with doing
things that. If true, would not be to his
credit The minister, however, does not
agree to their truthfulness and 1t is DOS
aible the ReSisso will have libel charge
to defend. Ths Atlantic City Press has
the following strong editorial ON the SUBJ
ject:
"How's this for real, fair, honest reform
Of the rule or ruin type7
Reverend Sinkinson, long an honest
and honorable minister of the Gospel in
Atlantic City, was accused of soliciting
signatures to petition praying clemency
for man convicted. On the day of the
accusation bold-face-typed editorial
attacked his character in scurrilous lam
guage-blackened his good name In in
delible Ink ten-fold blacker than the type.
The imputation was baseless. The pastor
manfully denied it; but the following day
the newspaper that gloats as man goes
20 jail, published another editorial, this
time calling the minister of the Gospel q
liar.
"a committee Of churchmen went to
the Office of the newspaper, investigating.
They asked for proof. 1t was denied
them. They asked for the source of the
Information; instead they got evasion.
Finally, the editor suggested that the
committee of churchmen meet his lawyer.
The churchmen were willing, but asked
that they be extended the privilege of
bringing along their Portia. This right
was denied. 1t was limited to them that
perhaps animosity had prompted the
charges-and this was the satisfaction
they received A truth shall make you

ton or apology appeared In their columns.
1t was apparent to the committee that

CONTRARY to the expectations of many
Louis Kuehnle, the Atlantic City politi
clan, was given very severe sentence
last week. Kuehnle was convicted of
having been instrumental in awarding
contract for city work to a corporation in
which he was q stakeholder. Under the
law that no member of any municipal
body has a right to vote to award bust
meas to firm with which he is directly or
Indirectly connected the Atlantic City man
was indicted and convicted. He was
taken before the court and was sentenced
to pay fine of 1900 and to be incar-
cerated In state prison at hard labor for
one year. Kuehnle Is not a man with
criminal tendencies. He has ALWAYS been
looked upon as one of the foremost citi-
zens Of Atlantic City and has done much
to make the place what 1t is. OF course
there has grown there, as In other large
places, an indifference to some affairs,
bosses have arisen who have looked out
for themselves and Kuehnle appears to
have been one OF them. Beyond profting
from the deal as a stakeholder of the con-
Germ that got the job he does not seem to
have been extraordinarily guilty. He is
not the only person who has done wrong
In the city by the sea but he seems to
have been unfortunate to have been one
Of the first to get caught. There are
others who are wearing a sanctified look
who may put on little different appear
ance later. The fact that Kuehnle has
done much in the past to boom Atlantic
City does not count now. The effect his
trial would have upon the resort was
proven by the remark of one of those who
was pressing him and who said that moth
ing would be done In the case until after
the summer season was oyer and then the
affair would be through with before
another season began. II this action
against the men who have been hauled up
had been one for the sole purpose of puri-
fcation 1t would be one thing, but when
1t is considered that the move was almost
entirely political, pushed forward by a
clique that desired to Gust the old bosses
that they might get in, the affair loses
some of the good feeling that might
otherwise attach to 1t. Kuehnle has been
sentenced and will carry the case to the
higher courts. If finally decided that he
must suffer the penalty. let that be the
result, but don't stop with the satisfaction
that personal or political revenge has been
secured.
