Timothy Alden's Typesettino Machine
First Of the Kind to Be Placed
on the Market.

Timothy Alden was born in Barn
stable, Mass. 90 years ago. He was
the first man to invent a typesetting
machine. In his boyhood Timothy was
apprenticed to printer. He was a
born inventor, and almost from his
first day In the printing office he be-
gan to think of plans for improving
the various processes connected with
the typographical art He invented
several machines connected with
printing before he turned his attention
to the mechanical setting Of type.
After several years Of study he pro-
duced his first model of a typesetting
machine in 1S46. This machine con-
sisted of horizontal rotating wheel
with type cells on it's circumference
making receivers rotate with 1t to pick
out the type at the proper places. This
appliance was ingenious, but it effect
ed no Improvement over hand compo-
sition. Timothy Alden died in Boston
In 1858, and his brother. Henry, later
made several improvements in the ma
chine. Timothy Alden's machine had
the merit Of setting others to thinking
about the same problem, with the re-
suit that hand composition is rapidly
becoming thing Of the past.

His Long, MINDED Friend.
(FOR YOUR ACID STOMACR)

G. II. Murphy relates the story OF
Philadelphia lawyer, retired who, in
the days Of his active practice, was
notorious for his long-windedness.
On one occasion he had been spout
ing forth his concluding argument for
six hours, and the end was nowhere
in sight when the opposing attorney
beckoned his associate and whispered
Cant you stop him, Jack?"
I'm stop him in two minutes" Jack
replied confidently. And he wrote
and passed to the orator the following
note:
My Dear COlonel-As soon as you
finish your magnificent argument l
would like you to join me at the no
tel In bumper of rare old Bourbon"
The lawyer halted in the midst OF
an impassioned period, put on his
glasses, and read the note that had
been handed him, then he removed his
glasses again and, taking up his hat
and bag, he said
And now, may 1t please the court
and gentlemen Of the jury, l leave the
case with you"
minute later he was proceeding in
stately fashion In the direction of the
hotel bar.

Gasoline to Be Mined.

The latest estimates Of the United
States geological survey show that II
gasoline continues to be used up at
the present rate, all the petroleum
fields now In use will be exhausted be-
fore 1850. Where, then, will the fu-
ture supply Of gasoline come from !?
Billions Of dollars are involved In the
question. The probable answer Is that
mined" gasoline will be used
Colorado. Utah and other Western
and middle Western states contain ex-
tensive oil-bearing deposits Of bitumin-
Gus shale. Crude oil can be extracted
from them and this can be distilled
further to obtain gasoline.
1t Is estimated that enough gasoline
could be produced In this way to equal
many times the amount obtained from
oil present-day fields.

There are gag little winds running ouer the cheat,

daughter also works. With little
pots of glue and colors she fabricates

It is always thus that I have seen
them: Nine. Bin bent over her
sewing or her embroidery; Elise, at
her white wood table, in the midst of
vivid colors which make her pale
face and arms appear even more
pale. She would be really pretty if
she were not so pale. But there isn't
much fresh air in the Rue Payenne,
and only millionaires can pay for
pleasure auto rides!
Nevertheless, 1 have never heard
them complain, and they always
have two SOUS left for the morning
newspaper. Nowhere in all France
was victory more ardently longed
for than by these two humble
women. And they never went down
to the cellar during bombardments.
Elise couldn't go because of her
paralyzed legs And Nine. Bin, you
understand, naturally didn't wish to
leave her daughter alone.
I can hardly conceive that they
are still in the world. Yet they are

That is the only time she ever leaves
her daughter.

vague idea that it must be revolu-

Commune. Nine. Bin saw the Com
