JJWlllUB for hoaiu, -Ohm'' TN NO branch of manufacturing is tho progress of tho world shown clearer than in printing. Jn none is thoro such a bewildering evolution from crudity to perfection, from tho rude artisan to tho. finished artist. Tio ancient Greeks, with all their perfection of sclup ture, architecture and literature, lacked mechanical genius and failed to give the world its greatest invention. The Romans conquered the earth but could not mako water run uphill or print a dodger. It was left to flic plodding and patient Chinese to first invent type that is printing, just as it was to first pro duce gun powder. The Chinese havo been loaders in original invention and hence must eventually bo tho dom inant nation of the orient for the Japanese are simply imitators and adapters of tho ideas of others. About tho time that Julius Caesar was dividing Caul into three parts, some fifty years or so before the birth of Jesus, the Chinese were using engraved blocks to stamp their manuscripts. Eastern civilization has since marked time. For fifteen hundred years tho Roman empire de clined and foil. "Europe passed into the -hands of the bar barians and the dark ages were not favorable to either progress oi invention. Literature was confined to the monasteries, where in meditation and seclusion the monks painfully wrote their parchments and manuscripts, and kept literature alive. One of those monks, in the thirteenth century, to whom evidently fell the job of designing and coloring the initial letter, must havo wearied of the endless repetition of the same characters, for this forgotten genius invented anew the process of engraving blocks for stamping tho letters upon the parchments. Prom this crude beginning, moveable types wore evolved to be first made use of by Johannes Gutenberg at Mainz, who in 1448 invented the first printing press. Gutenberg's ingenious device had many Imitators and was gradually improved, although for two centuries and a half the 'printing press consisted of two plates brought together by a simple hand screw, or a lever took the place of the screw. In tho early years ot the nineteenth century the cylinder press was invented, and from that day the progress has been exceedingly rapid. Newspaper presses now print tons or thousands an hour and are an expensive and costly affair. A couple of decades ago Mergenthalcr invented the linotype, which mechanically sets and distributes type, enabling one man to do the work of seven. Other type casters followed and today every completely equipped print shop makes its own type in any style or form, and sets it up while you wait. Every day sees remarkable improvement in all print ing machinery. , One new press automatically feeds, makes read.y and prints, tended only by one pressman, 5000 dodg ers an hour. Another docs automatic color work in sev eral hues at the rate of 4000 impressions an hour. In fact in color work the artisan has been replaced by the artist so perfect is the output. Latest of the many new processes to improve print ing is one doiner a way with ink altogether. This has been successfully accomplished by Cecil Bembridge of London, England, after twenty years of experimental work. It promises to still further revolutionize the industry. Ilis efforts are described as follows in the Pacific Printer: Bembridge is credited with having first hit upon the idea of printing without ink from observing that the im pression of a gold com was reproduced while lie was making an electrical experiment. From the accidental impression of the gold coin Bembridge? pursued the same test with silver and Copper coins, in every case getting the same results. The imprint was the same brownish black and always perfect, provided one battery wire rested on the coin and the other oil thu tin plate. Jf coins could make such an imprint, why not type? Following his own questionings' he produced a few linotype lines of print, assembled them and placed the type face down on a like sheet of moist paper resting upon a like sheet of tin. When the battery wires were con nected with the type metal and the tin sheet and current applied every letter showed from the type lines without blur or blemish and in the same shade which had resulted in the experiments with the various coins. Taking a sheet of zinc in lieu of the tin, again the elec trical influences brought the same general effect, though the crudest of hand methods were used in applying the type to the paper. Dry paper was not affected; moisture was required for the proper conductivity. ' After proving to his satisfaction that, regardless of the pressure upon the paper in contact, the clearness of the lettering was satisfactory, Bembridge sought to discover a chemical moistcner for the papers which would give the jet black effect of ordinary printer's ink and at the same time preserve the whiteness of the paper. The great trouble was to secure permanency in the electrical imprint. Where permanency appeared possible the cost of the process was abnormally above that of printer's ink. Time and again, under the influence of air and light, either the type disappeared by fading or the whole sheet of paper blackened. For ten years Bembridge wrestled with the solution ot A Test of Fuel Oils lly- P. J. O'OAItA. Pathologist and Special stotooroloul cnl (Miscrvor tl, S. Wonthn'r lltircnti.

Weeks & McGowan Co i his problem. Today he announces that everything is ac complished and proved, not only in the matter of a jet black print without ink, but asserts that he is able to print a newspaper in all hues of a rainbow with one contact. As to the presses for turning out the newspaper, they are greatly simplified, tho ink troughs and rollers disappearing altogether. The stereotype plate is used and its position on the press is thoroughly insulated below while the roller surface which guides the moist paper is also insulated. The paper rollers are connected with tho positive magnetic polo, while tho stereotype plate is linked with tho negative and from the elect ric-cliemical action is set up, making the imprint as desired upon the papor. frr- ZL "1. Tito ntovo dlstlllato la chosen for thin llltmlrutlon, nud on account of tho fact' that It wna burned whero wind currtMttg did not ntfocl tlio flnniv, It burned Homcwlml longer than If It had been In tint open. Several other experiments with the other oils unod In thin tent were mado and. nlthouplt tho curves nro not quite bo regular, In tlio main, tho ono Important fact n tdtown, nnd that In tho gradual dccuio In iunutlty of oil burned In n unit of time. It Is InterestliiK to note that tho quantity ot oil burned per unit of time Increased slightly In tho heRlnnliiR. This Ih due to tho fact that the body of oil beneath tho flnnto wns not nufflclentlv warm to evaporato o rapidly ns It did Inter. After making totH of tho different fuel oils with the heaters without soot arresters, another scries of tests woro mado with the soot arresters In nlnco. In tho umin the same characteristic was noted, with tho exception, of course, that the curve Is much flatter. This, of course. Is duo to the Increase In burning time. With tho two-cation lard pall typo without arrester tho burning rnto Is more uniform. In nil tho tests that were innde. whether during very calm weather or when the wind blow from two to, three miles per hour, It was noted that thoro was a great falling oft In tho quantity of oil burned per unit of time ns the surfoco of the oil lowered In tho pots. Naturally, this falling oft was greater In deep pots of rather small diameter, Slttco tho burning characteristic is much tho snmo for pots such as tho Iloltou, lard pall nnd Troutman, only ono curve Is given as nu Illustration. Dlffcrrnco In Tcinporuturv lletvuvn Heated Ami mid Outside Air Hunting ltute of Oil CouiNirvt With IH'crriiho Jn Tcinjtomliirtt Difference. Mention tins been made of the fact that, In tho practice of orchard heating under actual conditions, the difference In tempornturu bet w eon the air outsido the orchard nnd that within the heated urea does not remain constant, although It may bo perfectly calm and with the outside atmospheric temperature running more or leas uniform. In going back over tho records for tho past threo years tho wrltor finds (tint on several occasions tho records show that the rato of decreaso In tho difference between tho outside nnd Inside temperatures corresponds very closely with tho rato curve of tho burning oil ns mentioned above. In other wonts, the decrease In difference in temperature .within und without tho orchard Is duo primarily to (he docreasc In burning rate as tho fuel lowers In tlio pots. Also on-nWtts when tho temperature lowered very mnrlcedly over a certain length of time tho rate of decrease l)t the differences between outsido and Inside temperatures us the pots burned could not be accounted J for In any other way than because of the uneven nite of fuel consumption. Naturally, as the outsido tempernturu nf the Incoming air lowered, wo would expect, with tho samo quantity of fuel burning, that a proportionate decreaso In temperature within tho heated nrea would tako placo. However, where this decreaso is much ntoro It can only bo accounted for by what we have ft 1 ready mentioned, namely, tho decreaso In burning rnto of the fuel oil. Even whero there may bo a very slight nlr movement, bo long as It Js uniform and other factors remain equal, It will not affect conditions In such a way ns to cause a nnn-uulform difference In Inside and outside temperatures. It is no easy thing to get dntn of extreme accuracy undor actual conditions of orchard heating. We do not expect It. However, nil tho data we have, together with uttioli that bus been published, point to the conclusion that tho falling off In temperature differences toward the lato morning, nftor u night's heating, Is due to a decreased rato lu fuol cotistimp'tlon which Is due directly to the form or mnkeup of the heater. With those that may be regulated, or have tho burning surface always the same, the results uro entirely thu opposite; namely, no decrease in tem perature differences, but rather nn Increase.
