WASHINGTON, March.8. (Special.) The first machine from which linotype bars or slugs were cast has lately been deposited In the division of grraphlo arts of the United States National Mu seum and is located In the Smithsonian building. This particular idea, the In vention of Mergenthaler, revolution ized printing; it was the first machine to cast a complete line of type ready to print from. Previous to the adop tion of the improved machine, now used so extensively, many men were needed In the composing rooms, for on a mod ern example of this remarkable ma chine a competent operator can set four times as much copy as by hand. Composition and distribution by hand are both tedious and expensive, thus the new machine saved the printers both time and money. Every blgtown daily newspaper In the country employs from IS to 36 of these machines and every daily uses one or two, so that there must be about 24.000 used in the daily newspaper of fices in the United States and Canada alone. It was estimated In 1898 that there were no more than 6000 machines In existence. This shows the present increased number used in the daily newspaper offices, but it does not show the whole demand. If the 24,868 pub llcation houoses listed In the current newspaper annual for the United States and Canada each used no more than five machines, the total wonld be more than 120,000, 20 times as many as ex isted only 18 years ago, Mergenthaler started work with L. G, Hlne early In 1S83, making a small ex perimental machine, which printed but 12 letters at a time, but demonstrated the fact that a full-sized machine built on this principle would be an enormous step in advance. This was accom plished when the largo machine was built the third of the series exhibited In the Smithsonian building which was the first machine from which Linotype bars or slugs were cast. 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 prathered at the shop on Bank lane. In Baltimore, before the Inventor was ready and had to wait until he had made some adjustments. "Finally everything seemed to be ready. . . Mr. Mergenthaler 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 PRESIDENT OF 5IOUXT AJTGEL STUDENT BODY PORT LAND MOV. Cm Frank P. Leipzig;. MOUNT ANGEL COLLEGE, St. Benedict, Or, March J. (Special.) At the recent election held at Mount Angel College for the offi cers of the second semester, Frank P. Leipzig, senior from Portland, was elected as presi dent of the student body. Since his freshman year he has been editor of the Star. Charles Simon, senior from San Francisco, was unanimously chosen as vice-president. He is well known In foot ball circles. He is also holding a position on the finance commit tee. Joseph Kasberger was cho sen secretary and treasurer. In his freshman year Joe made the football, baseball and basketball teams. Last Fall he was chosen captain of the eleven. He has combined athletics with studies, as was shown last June, when he received the gold medal for gen eral excellenoe. Into their places, were damped and aliened, the pump discharged Its con tents, a finished linotype, shining like silver, dropped from the machine and the matrices returned again to their normal positions. All this was the work of but 16 seoonds." This machine was never used com mercially, but It cast a number of slugs and articles were set up by this ma chine from which prints were taken. When It was completed the National Typographic Company had high hopes that it would be a practical machine, but a number of defects developed and it proved too slow. The scheme was finally abandoned In favor of a single matrix that is, a short bar with one character stamped upon It. such as Is used today Instead of a long bar with the whole alphabet. AUDITORIUM GOES AHEAD CITY IS NOT CALLED 0"S FOR $21,525 AT THIS TIME. Principal Creditors Agrree to Back Con tractor Han Pederson Comple tion by June 15 Assured. Some of the creditors of Hans Peder- son. Auditorium contractor, have re fused to sign an agreement to continue furnishing material on the building' and for that reason negotiations along this line have been discontinued. The main creditors have agreed to go ahead and back up Mr. Pederson, allowing him to rush the building' to completion. Com pletion Is now assured by June 15. Under- the arrangement the city will not be called on now to provide the $21,525 which the City Council voted about two weeks ago to add to the con tract to enable work to be completed. When the Council about two weeks ago agreed to make good Its original promise, the creditors started a series of conferences. Attorneys called in threw the proceedings into a tangle. Finally the creditors ousted the attor neys and have agreed to back Mr. Pederson so that he can go ahead. They have been convinced of the absolutely good faith of Mr. Pederson. Commissioner Baker, who has charge of the Auditorium, said yesterday that personally, he will be ready to give Mr. Pederson the money due him when the time comes. In this he stands with a majority of the City Council. The move was opposed by Commissioners Daly and Blgelow. "Personally," said Mr. Baker yesterday, "I maintain this claim Is Just and the Council should stand by Its promise. The majority of the Coun cil is willing to give It now, and I am sure that after election day the others will be in the same mood." MUSIC. IS MADE SIMPLE Method Invented by Woman Makes Transposing? Easy. Wherever muslo students present themselves for Instruction they encoun ter difficulty in understanding and playing- from the ordinary muslo staff, with its bewildering- key signatures, lines, notes, sharps, flata and inciden tals. Beginners cannot, by this plan, play muslo in any of the different keys and transpose at sight. Mrs. Bva Trew has Invented musical notation with colored aymbola by the use of which. It is declared, a child can play any muslo at eight. It Is not possible to explain In type and without illustration Just exactly yhat this color notation is, but all Interested will be pleased to learn that free demonstra tions of this remarkaDie ana new sys tem of learning to play the piano are given daily, all day, on the seventh floor of Llpman, Wolfe & Co.'s store. Two women demonstrators are In charge. "There Is no limit, says Mrs. Trew, to the possibilities of notatlng muslo with color. If difficult selections from operas such as 'La Donne Mobile' from Rlgoletto' can be notated successfully, of course any muslo composition can be so arranged.
