East Indian Monkeys.

a naturalist who has Travelled in the

they sit and stare at him, coughing

CHINESE PRINTING.
Queer Old Ancient Methods Are Still
Used by Many Natives.

Used by Many Natives.
Chinese hold that the art Of printing
was discovered in China about fifty
years before the Christian cru. Until
the discovery of the art Of paper max
ing, ~ ID. IS, they printed OH silk or
cloth cut in the form Of leaves The
method employed to this day by many
native Chinese printers is substantially
rs fOlIowS
No printing press is used. The deli
cate nature Of the Chinese paper will
not admit Of 1t. When the blocks are
engraved, the paper is cut and the ink
is ready one man with his brush prints
large number OF sheets in day.
The block to be printed must be placed
perfectly level and secured firmly. Tho
printer has two brushes, one Of them
sitter than the other. which he can
hold i'll his hand and use at either end.
He dips It into The im!; amd :ubs the
block with 1t, taking care not to moistcn
it too much or leave it too dry. If it
were wcttcd 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 without dipping the
brush into the ink again.
The second brush is used to rub over
the paper with Il small degree of pres
sure that it may take the impression.
This it does easily, for. not being sized
With alum. 1t receives the ink the in,
slant 1t comes in contact with it.
1t is only necessary that the brush
should be passed over every part OF
the sheet with greater or smaller de-
gree Of pressure and repeated in pro

more or less ink upon the blOck.-LoS

PALM BEACH co. TO VOTE
ON ROAD BONDS
palm Beach POST

One of the most important steps
in the development of the farming
section of the western portion of
Palm Beach county was taken yester-
day by the board of county commits
sioners in session at the courthouse
when they accepted the petition of
the residents of the town of Lake
worth and also the petition of the
residents of West Palm Beach for
the creation of special road and
bridge districts.
This will mean the construction of
more than fifty miles of main line
and lateral roads in that section of
the county which has but few roads
at present. Those living within the
radius of few miles of LakewOrth
are planning to build about 80 miles
of main line and lateral roads and
one bridge adross Lakeworth, and
, the West Palm Beach residents are
contemplating about Is miles of
main line roads and about four
i miles of laterals.
All of this is in addition to the
entire reconstruction of the main line
road frof the southern extremity of
| Broward county to the northern
boundry of Palm Beach county en-
failing an expenditure of more than
two-thirds of million dollars. II
will mean the rapid development OF
the farming section adjacent to the
cities of Lakeworth and West Palm
Beash and will make this portion
easily accessible from all points.
AS the result of the acceptance OF
these petitions by the county board
it will mean that the voters and
free holders at the next general cleo
tion in the town of Lakeworth will
vote on a special road and bridge
district bond issue for $4,000 and
the voters of West Palm Beach dis
trict will pass upon the issuance of
a $3.50. 900 bond ssue. Should these
bond issues pass the county will
have more than one million dollars
at its disposal for the construction
of roads alone.
| The prominent men of the county
who are familiar with the conditions
in the everglade section of the coun-
ty insist that the one thing which
will expedite the development oof
, this rich and fertile section of the
county will be the construction of
roads. 1t will not only bring the
farmers living in this section closer
to the city of West Palm Beach but
will encourage many others to make
their homes there and commence the
industry of farming. The value of
such roads to this city will be i'm
possible to according to
those who know conditions in the
'Glades; but they say that it will far
exceed the greatest expectations of
the people of this county.
