American Elm. This is of

not durable in contact with the

shade tree.

known az white maple and soft

STORY Of THE TYPEWRITER

The first practical typewriter
ever constructed IN this country
invented by Charles Thur ber is to
be found today in the patent office
in Washington. together with a
letter written on. that machine in
l848. 1t is crude piece Of work
manship, and there is no distinc-
tion between capital and small
letters. 1t was operated at what
would now be considered a
ridiculously low rate of speed.
Yet the spacing is perfect and the
type legible 1t was called a
mechanical photographer"
Although Thurber's machine
is large and clumsy, it embodies
most of the devices common to
modern typewriters. Between
1867 and 1873 he turned out
twenty-five type writer's all Of
which were theoretically perfect,
and all of which went to pieces
with regularity after a more Or
less prolonged spell of practical
work. But each mode was bette r
than the preceding one, and thus
at length a fairly efficient machine
was produced.
The fini she'd article was intrustcd
for manu- facture to a company in
New York. For a long time the
demand was small. Even after
nine years not more than fifteen
hundred machines we've being sold
each year. This was in 1882.
Since then, however. the popularity
Of the typewriter has become such
that at the present time a finished
machine is being produced every
five minutes of the working day.
The success achieved by Mr..
Shules naturally induced inventors
and capitalists to turn their at
tention to the production of other
typwriters, the result being that
within twenty-seven years there
have been palced on the m arket
of the world nearly one hundred
and fifty different types of ma
chimes. With single exception,
all the best known machines have
been invented in this country.
A striking feature Of the patert
office exhibit is the number Of
patents taken out on each machine,
one having seventy distinct devices.

Simultaneously the decks wer

the old Maine plunged down,

Ten minutes later the Cuban
