Laborers and Farmers of
ireland Differ on Rentals

(Correspondenoe OF The Associated Prsss)
Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 30.--The new
regulations as to the expansion OF till
age in Ireland, and the compulsory
tillage of one-tenth of the land, are
meeting with the labor difficulty. The
farmers have secured minimum price
for their crops under the scheme and
the iaborers, Of whom there is a
shortage, are claiming their share,
The gap between what the farmers
offer and the laborers ask is wide
one. The laborers want rs to 80 shill-
ings or II to IS shillings week with
board and lodging. The farmers
offers range from 8 to 9 shillings a
week with board and lodging for work
all the year round.

LOVE AND WAR IN
ROYAL SQUABBLE
Princess Louise of Belgium,
Who Eloped With Hungarian
Count, Sticks BY Him.
HUSBAND GETS DIVORCE

correspondence Of The Associated Press)
Budapest. Hungary, Dec. 1.-The
love affair of Princess Louise of Bel
GUM and her former riding master,
Count Won Matassich, hungarian
subject and first lieutenant in the Aus
Hungarian cavalry had an inter
esting aftermath recently when the
count was ordered TO leave Budapest
Tor political reasons" He was or
dcred to remove to his native town in
Croatia, but eleventh-hour lnterces-
sion by DR.. Nisontal, the legal adj
wiser of Princess Louise, Influenced
the police to permit Matassich to re-
main in the capital under surveillance,
Scandal in Court.
Back Of the action lies the con-
tinucd cndcavor Of the family Of the
princess to separate her from Matss-
sch, who eloped with her when she
was the wife OF Prince Philip of SAKE
Coburg in 1896. Some time ago the
family suggested that the princess
place herself voluntarily under guar
dianship, but the princess has not yet
consented to this. She was not per-
mitted to live in either Vienna or Blu
dapest, but finally obtained permits
sion to reside in Munich, where she
now is. II is considered unlikely that
Count Matassich will be given per-
mission to go to Munich, so that Tor
the duration of the war. at least the
couple will be separated,
Princess Louise is the eldest daugh-
ter Of the late King Leopold of Bel
GUM. In 1875 she married Prince
Philip of SAKE Coburg, who was
fourteen years her senior, when she
was H. She was IS when she met
Count Matassich, who was employed
as her riding master, and soon their
relations became the scandal Of
Europe. Shortly after the elopement
Count Matassich was arrested,
charged with forgery in aiding
Princess Louise to swndle Vienna
money lenders by eashing notes with
the forged signature Of Princess
Stephanie He spent term in prison,
while the princess was confined for
several years in a sanitarium, from
which she escaped in a sensational
manner and returned to her lover,
while Prince Philip brought suit for
and obtained, absolute divorce.

Here Is the Way They Make
The Iron Money in Austria

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
London, Jan. 30-The manner in
which iron money is made in Austria
is thus described in the annual bullion
circular of Samuel Montague & Co.:
THE problem of protecting the
pieces from rust has been solved by
super-imposing slight layer of zine,
some zinc powder, are placed in a
vessel and heated for a certain time
at temperature somewhat below that
of the melting point of zinc, where
upon surface is formed upon the
discs, which not only preserves the
pieces from rust, but also enables the
die to be impressed without cracking
the surface of the metal. This zinc
plated money hardly differs either in
aspect OF weight from that formed
of nickel"

SMITHSONIAN HAS
FIRST LINOTYPE
Invention Which Revolution
lied Printing is in Graphic
Arts Museum.
WORKED WELL FIRST TIME

Washington, D. C., Feb. 1.-THE
first machine from which linotype
bars or slugs were cast has lately
been deposited in the division OF
graphic arts Of the United States Ma
fional Museum, and is located in the
Smithsonian building. This partcu-
lar idea, the invention OF Merger
thaler. revolutionized printing; it was
the first machine to cast complete
line of type ready to print from. Prev,
ious to the adoption OF the improved
machine, now used so extensively,
many men were needed in the COM
posing rooms, for on a modern ex-
ample OF this remarkable machine, a
competent operator can set four times
as much copy as by hand. Compost
ton and distribution by hand are both
tedious and expensive, thus the new
machine saved the printers both time
and money.
Every big-town daily newspaper in
the country employs from fifteen to
thirty-hve OF these machines. and
every daily uses one or two, so that
there must be about $4,000 used in
the daily newspaper Offices in the
United States and Canada alone. 1t
was estimated in 1898 that there were
no more than 5000 machines in ex-
istence. This shows the present in
creased number used in the daily
newspaper Offices, but It does not
show the whole demand. II the 24,8oS
publication houses listed in the cur.
rent newspaper annual for the United
States and Canada, each used no more
than FIVE machines. the total would
be over 10000, twenty times as many
as existed only eighteen years ago.
Three Machines.
There are three machines exhibited
in the Smithsonian halls. which are
closely related to the development OF
this contribution to the art of print
ing. Two of them are early models,
which indented strips Of papier mache
(matrices) from which stereotype
casts were made. Some of these ear
lier machines consisted of cylinder
which held the type faces and the
mechanism to bring it into position
to indent the paper. All of which
was controlled by the pressing of a
key. This style, called a rotary i'm
preston machine, was built mainly by
the late Ottmar Mergcnthaler in 1877
70, under the auspices of J. 0. Gle
phane, who later organized the Ma
tional Topographic company. The
second, called a stereotyper, worked
well. but the casting of the slugs was
found to be. unsatisfactory, and Mr.
Mergenthaler undertook the invention
of one machine to do all the work.
He started work with l.. G. Hine
early in 1883. making small expert
mental machine, which printed bu
twelve letters at a time. but demon
strated the fact that full-sized ma
chine built on this principle would
be an enormous step in advance. Thi
was accomplished when the large ma
chine was built--the third of the ser
les exhibited in the Smithsonian
building--which was the first machine
from which linotype Bars, or slugs
we're cast. On the printing face thu
characters formed complete anc
solid line of type, similar to a lin,

and they were ready for use; num-
Der OF lines making up column or
page-just like the individual lines OF
this article.
Dies on Bars.
The matrices or dies for the dii-
ferent letters, used in this first ma
chine, were on long tapered bars, ar
ranged side by side vertically, each
containing a complete alphabet, other
characters and spaces The operation
Of the keys in the keyboard set num-
Der of stops, one for each letter de-
pressed, and when the whole line had
been set, the entire line OF matrix bars
was lowered until the different bars
came into contact with their respective
stops. which were at various heights,
so that at certain point the char
acters on the matriX bars formed a
line of reading matter There was
no automotic justification, or spacing
to make the line the exact length re-
quired, but it was left to the operator
who struck the space key and filled
in with thick or thin spaces on the
tapering matrix bars. The line OF
matrix bars was then clamped to-
gether, a mold was interposed be
tween the matrices and pot OF mol
ten metal, which moved up to the slot
in the mold, and the linotype bar was
cast. The line was then unchanged,
the matrices automatically raised to
their normal positions, and similar op-
erations for casting the next line we're
performed.
Its First Test.
Describing the initial test Of this
linotype machine, July 1884, in the
Biography Of Ottmar Mergenthaler
and the History Of the Linotype" the
author explains that the spectators
gathered at the shop on Bank lane in
Baltimore, Md, before the IN
ventor was ready, and had to wait
until he made some adjustments.
Finally everything seemed to be
ready. 49, Mr.. Mcrgenthaler called
for the steam power to be attached
he composed line. removed the
stopper from the metal pump, and
touched the line key Smoothly and
silently the matrices slid into their
places, we're clamped and aligned, the
pump discharged its contents, a I'm
ished linotype, shining like, silver
dropped from the machine and the
matrices returned again to their nor
NAL positions. All this was the work
of but fifteen seconds"
This machine was never used com.
mercially, but it cast a number OF
slugs, and articles were set up by this
machine from which prints were
taken. When it was completed the
National Topographic company had
high hopes that it would be practi-
cal machine, but number of defects
developed and it proved too slow. The
scheme was finally abandoned in favor
OF a single i1,atrix--that is, short bar
with one character stamped upon it
such as is used today--instead OF a
long bar with the whole alphabet. The
application for the patent on this ma
chine was filed August 80, 1884, but
was not granted until March 3, 1885.
In the exhibits of graphic arts in the
Smithsonian building, there are many
other interesting series showing the
development of instruments and ma
chimes relating to the art of printing
illustrating and book-making,
