Mad Coldfiih Popular
'Cnlilflsli flrst appeared In Kngland
about two centuries ago, hut It was
l.uljt Cum and li Is futlier who made
tliem popular In the parlor window
of the nation. They began n I most hjr

flura Italy sixty years ago, wlien
l.ulel wus a hoy, and his uncle sent
him a enn ef golilflsli to comfort him
In tils exile.
Finding the fishes Interested tlielr
neighbors, they begim to Import them
and sell tliem. After a time they
added tortoises to their stock-in-trade,
and forty thousand tortoises, as well
aa hulf a million golilRxli, passed
through their hnnds In year.
"Tidy" Philosopher
Many of the world' Kreatest
philosophers are known to have hnd
eery little concern for their permmal
appearance. One notable exception
according to biography written
about 10SS and recently reprinted,
was Spinoza who, says the suthi.
"was extremely tidy." Whenever he
left bla house there was, as well,
"something about hla clothes whir
usually distinguishes gentleman
from pedanf
A present-day critic observes: "He
was man of the greatest reticence,
but with nothing to conceal; man
of Intensely "private life,' but wholly
transparent"
Catenberg Not First
to Use MovabU Typt
The first book printed In Europe
with movable type waa the famous
Gutenberg Bible. It waa printed In
1450-65. Beside It Doctor Tollbeht
recently exhibited a Chinese book
printed with movable t,iee hng be
fore the UutrnlxTg Bible appeared,
and indeed the Chinese printer PI had
so printed books 9U0 years before Gut
enberg waa born. In all that time the
Chinese had been using movable type,
publishing books of such beauty and
perfection that they are today the ad-
miration of all bibliophiles, and Eu
rope knew nothing about It Not even
Marco Polo, who went to China In the
middle of the Thirteenth century and
became the guest of Kublal Khan,
brought back to Kurope the Invention
that was to electrify civilisation.
Within 23 years after the Gutenberg
Bible came out printing with movable
type bad spread Into every civilised
country In Europe. Fifty years later
tht French and Italians particularly
had Joined the Germans In the print
log of books which for craftsmanship
and typography have not been sur
passed from that time to this.
How big the world was In that dis
tant time! How wholly unlike It la
our world of today. In whlcb not only
