The Invention of Printing

In 1441 John Guttenburg and DR..
Faust came forward with the crowning
invention of the modern world. This
was the art of printing from movable
types, an invention that immortalized
their names as the greatest benefactors
of humankind the world has ever pro-
duced. The Chinese claim to have
made the discovery several hundred
years before, but its use was unknown
among enlightened nations, and the
two Germans named were the discov-
erers and inventors, none the less. The
first newspaper published in America
was issued at Boston in 1704. The
Bible, we are told, contains 3, 566, 480
letters. The type for each of these let
ters had to be taken up singly and
placed in the composing stick one by
one and yet the Bible is but one of the
many millions of volumes turned out by
the press every year. The books in the
Astor library in New York cover about
2l, 900 feet of shelving and weigh 20C
tons. What must have been the labor
expended in type setting for this, and
yet this is but speck in the mighty
field of literature. When type is once
set and fastened in forms the heaviest
part of the printers work is done. The
forms are placed in the press and the
machinery set in motion, the forms
pass under the ink rollers, the white
paper being carried between heavy
cylinc n and the forms to make it's ap.
pearalce as printed page. Thousands
of in ressions are taken in an hour.
The ..rst types were made of wood.
Those now in use are generally made of
lead with small proportion of anti
mony and zinc to render them more
durable. The first newspaper ever
printed by steam power was the London
Times, so printed in 1914. The news
paper has become great educator of
the people. The true newspaper is a
teacher of good morals. No matter
what mans principles and views are,
he will find able advocates among the
literature of the day. If your time
and means are limited, the first thing
to be considered is the choice of the
literature you buy, for the world is
filled with that which is trashy and
worthless. Have good reading for our
boys and girls; desire and thirst for
knowledge will be awakened and it will
be like sowing seed in rich ground and
will yield hundred fold.
ED. NOTE At a recent meeting of
the w. c. T. U. Mrs. Frank Rockafel-
low read the foregoing article on the
invention of printing, which was so
concise and informing that The Mes
senger was asked to print it. which is
done with pleasure. The only thing we
might ad to it, is the statement that by
far the greater part of the werk of
typesetting is now accomplished by the
use of typesetting machines, instead of
letter by letter, as was the case until
about twenty-five years ago. The per-
fection of the typesetting machine and
of photo-engraving are the most not
able accomplishments in the printing
art since the time Of Guttenburg.

through. a portion of the Pere Marquette rail-
way office on Fort street Saturday. The loss
was estimated at 5000 and included a mass of
records. The office force was enjoying an extra
Christmas holiday and no one was injured
The burning of the records has caused much
comment The books of the company are in

the officials may have destroyed them that

WASHINGTON. March 9.-Presi.
dent Wilson, II became known tonight,
has decided not to give recess appoint
ments to number Uf persons whose
nominations for federal offices were
rejected by the senate during the last
session. His decision. however does
not apply to nominations which the
senate merely failed to act upon and
IN most Of these eases recess appoint
ments will be made In the near future.
Those whose nominations were re-
iected and In whose places Others
probably will be chosen soon include:

saying that Thilc he might have the
legal right 10 give recess appointments
To- men whose nominations have been
rejected by the senate. he thinks that
such action would not be IN accord
with the spirit Of the law.

were included IN the group over which
there were long disputes in the sen-
ate and which caused reports to go
cut of serious differences between the
