Typesetting Machines

The hrst typesetting machine was
Invented by Timothy Alden. who was
born in BarnstabIe. Mass, ninety-two
years ago today. In his boyhood
Timothy was apprenticed to a printer.
He was a born inventor, and almost
from his first day in the printing Of
fee he began to think OF plans for
improving the various processes con-
nected with the typographical art. He
invented several machines connected
with printing before he turned his at
tentton to the mechanical setting of
type. After several years of study.
he produced his first model of q type
setting machine in 1916. This ma
chine consisted of a horizontal rotat-
ing wheel with type-cells on its cir
cumference, making receivers rotate
with 1t to pick out the type at the
proper places. The appliance was in
sgenious, but it erected no. improve
ment over hand composition. Timothy
Alden died in Boston in 1858, and his
brother Henry later made several inn
provements in the machine. Timothy
A1den's machine had the merit of
setting others to think about the same
problem, with the result that hand
composition is rapidly becoming a
thing of the past.

BARON BURIAN

Baron Stephan Burian Won RajecZ.
who was recently appointed Austrian
foreign minister upon the resignation
of Count Leopold won Berehtold. is
sixty-three years old. He is q native
of Hungary and a Magyar through
and through. At the time of his app
pointrnent to the most important post
in the governm ent of the Dual Mon
archy he was serving as minister OF
the royal court in the Hungarian cab
met. He was formerly minister of
finance of the administration of Bos-
MIA and Herzegovina. He entered the
diplomatic service in his young man
courts of the Balkan states, obtaining
an intimate knowledge of affairs in
the stormy peninsula. He is a linRuist
of ability and speaks all the languages
used in the Balkans. While Count
Won Berehtold was in thorough sym
pathy with the German military
party, and was often accused OF TAX
ing his orders from Berlin instead of
from Vienna, Baron Burian is alleged
to be opposed to Prussian domination.
His appointment was doubtless large
ly due to the Influence he is able to
bring to bear upon the Balkan gov
ernments, and which, it was hoped,
would prevent Roumanfa and possibly
other countries, from Joining the al

Herzegovina, the Hungarian states
man was constructive and concilia.-
tory, and. by building highways rail-
roads and canals, and by giving the
provinces partial home rule, he help
ed to overcome the luminosity of the
people against Austria. AS foreign
minister he holds an office which IL
similar to that of chancellor in Ger

Simon Lake, the submarine inventor

said was perfectly feasible and could
be recovered at any time by the diver
from the modern German craft who
only had to open door and step out
upon the oceans bottom to connect

These bases could be distributed at

Hudson Maxim, 81
Today, Says U. S. Must
Fight Victor in War

Among the thousands who have es-
sayed the role of prophet in regard
to the outcome and results of the Eu-
ropean war is Hudson Maxim, the
distin g-uished, inventor Of smokeless
powder, explosives and other NUM-
tfons of modern warfare. Mr.. Maxim
was born at Ornevi1le, Maine, sixty
two years ago today. He is the
younger brother of Sir Hiram s.
Maxim, inventor of the gun bearing
his name and of many varieties Of
explosives, who was also born in
Maine but who has been naturaized
citizen of Great Britain for many
years. Hudson Maxim's prediction is
that the United States will eventually
be forced to fight the victorious
powers in the present conflict Only
a draw, he is reported TO have said,
will save the republic from the hor-
rors of war. If Germany should be
victorious, he declares. '-the things
those Teutons will do to us with
their modern implements of murder
and destructi on will make the shade
OF old AttiIa groan and the fossil
part of him turn in his grave" Early
in the war Mr.. Maxim was quoted as
saying that Germany was certain to
win, but this was denied by him.
Even when the Teuton army was
sweeping all before it in Francs, the
American inventor said: ST do not
can happen it is my belief that the
Russians, who are hammering at the
German rear, will call back enough of
the German force from France to en-
able the allies to get together in such
numbers as to block Germany in
France
Hudson Maxim and his elder broth
er, Sir Hiram have not always been
on the best of terms with each other
and only a few months ago they en-
gagged in newspaper controversy re-
garding the discovery Of smokeless
powder and the priority of their
patents. Mr.. Maxim was in the
! printing and subscription publishing
business at Pittsfe1d, Mass, for some
| years before he began his inveatiga-
tions into ordnance and explosives
which have added so much to the de-
effectiveness of modern warfare. Ir
l51901 he came into great prominence
/ through his invention of Maximite
1.-THE first high explosive to be fired

/ which he sold to the United States
government. Many varieties of ex
i plosives, and the Maxim automobile

THE PASSING OF THE GoULDs.
fPhfIadeIphia. Press. 5

(Philadelph1a PreSS.)
The late Jay Gould was largely i'm
terested in four great properties, the
Erie, the Manhattan Elevated system
in New York, Western Union TeIe-
graph and the Missouri Pacific Rail-
road. Long ago the Goulds parted
with their interest In Erie. and later
the Gould estate and members Of the
family got out of Manhattan
When q dominating factor in West
ern Union Telegraph, George J. Gould
gained the dislike of A. J. Cassatt,
president of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, and President Cassatt refused
to renew a contract between the rail-
road and the telegraph company and
ordered all the poles of the Western
Union along the lines of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad cut down. Control OF
Western Union passed to the Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany and the Gould influence in the
telegraph company subsidized. But the
Federal government forced separa-
ton of the telegraph lines from the
telephone company. While George
and Edwin Could still remain as
Western Union directors, the com-
pany is controlled by the Kuhn-Loeb
and Rockefeller interests

time cherished the hope of making
that road the nucleus for a great

Lake Erie, wabash. Missouri Pacific,
Denver & Rio Grande and the West
ern Pacific, which he built as a finish
ling link on the west. Edward H. Har-
riman upset all of the Gould plans for
| a transcontinentaI railroad system,
since which the roads that were de-.
signed for the system have had q hard
struggle. The Western Maryland
passed from Gould controls; it does
not pay and is likely to be reor-
gained. The Wabash and the Wa
bash Terminal at Pittsburgh are in
receivers hands. Missouri Pacific.
paying dividends at the rate of FIVE
per cent. until 1908, has since paid
nothing to shareholders and its
shares recently sold below seven dol
lars. Denver & Rio Grande went on

| western Pacific has been unable to
earn it's fixed charges.
In such straits now appears that
/ the Goulds have little interest left
in Missouri Pacific, bare block Of
6115 shares out Of a total Of $40, 700
shares issued. The Rockefe11ers and

FEMINIST ARTICLES
UNPOPULAR WITH
READING PUBLIC
CBy Mrs. w. b. Williams, Anti
Suffragist-)


A recent speech made by a praeti-
cal newspaper and magazine man
throws an interesting light on the at
titude of the average woman on the
suffrage question. R. H. Waldo, ass
sistant general manager of the New
ork Tribune. is reported to have said
that no publication which depended
on the subscriptions of women could
feature Woman Suffrage and, live. He
found this out. he said, during his
connection with Good House-Keep-
ing. that magazine had attempted TO
print a serial biography of Mrs Panl1-
hurst THE letters of protest which
piled in upon us forced us to discon-
tfnue n They came in shoals hs
said.
Two periodicals which have lately
featured feminisrn are reported to be
on the verge of failure. 1t looks as
if the majority of the American peo-
pie did not approve Of this sort OF
propaganda.
