Al though he could have done so had lie wished, he never once attended a meeting at which I spoke, and I was allowed to bring away every, note I made and every paper given to me. "In fact, I was never once inter fered with in the slightest degree from full and uninterrupted connec tion with the men from start to fin ish. On the last night of my stay I nhtainrd permission for the prison ers to sing 'God Save the King,' and this was repeated when I addressed the whole camp in the open air. I shall never forget the scene of in describable enthusiasm." Bishop Bury's conclusion was that under these conditions and the non- terference of the German authori ties, ile at Kiihleben was not only tolerable, but character-building as an experience. King of Hungary Must Get Consent to Figure on Peace Budapest. Ian. 10. The oath which the new king of Hungary took at the coronation ceremonies here, is pre; pared by the Hungarian parliamen tary committee, was expressly worded so that in connection with any peace arrangement it will be almost im possible for the king-emperor to make any cession of territory without the consent ot the Austrian ana Hun garian parliaments. The oath reads: We. Uiarlea 1, emperor ot Austria. the fourth king of Hungary by this name, etc., swear by God and all his saint that we will respect the free dom, liberties and rights of all our subjects, and that we shall under no circumstances alienate any parts of Huntrarv. Croatia. Slavonia and Dal matian on the contrary, we shall so far as in our power, increase these territories and extend their boundaries and shall do all we can in the interests and glory of all these states of ours." Pilgrims Are Stranded On Their Way'to Mecca (Cerreeponilenee of The AuonUttS Praiu.) Batavia, Dutch East Indies, Nov. 20. Mohafhtnedans from the Malay archipelago who went on pilgrimage to Mecca to worship st the shrine of the prophet and thereby earn the title of "nadji," which confers lifelong dis tinction and eternal bliss thereafter, are destitute and stranded in Arabia. They are the victims of the severance of communications brought about by the war, and a representative of the Dutch government is being dispatched to the port of Jeddah to superintend their embarkation in special ships which the authorities are solicitously sending thither to convey these colon ial subjects home. About 4,000 such fiilgrims were similarly repatriated aat year. Laborers and Farmers of Ireland Differ on Rentals (CerrMnenM of Th AjuKMlatuff PrtH.) Dublin, Ireland, Jan. 30. The new regulations as to the expansion ot till age in Ireland, and the compulsory tillage of one-tenth of the land, are meeting with the labor difficulty. The farmer have secured a minimum price for their crops under the scheme and the laborers, of whom there is a shortage, are claiming their share. The gap between what the farmers offer and the laborers ask is a wide one. The laborers want 25 to .10 shill ings or 12 to 15 shillings a week with board and lodging. The farmers' offers range from 6 to 9 shillings a week with board and lodging for work all the year round. SMITHSONIAN HAS FIRSTUNOTYPE Invention Which Revolution ized Printing is in Graphic 1 Arts Museum. WORKED WELL FIRST TIME Washington, D. C, Feb. 17. 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 Na tional Museum, and is located in the Smithsonian building. This particu lar idea, the invention of Mergen thaler. revolutionized printing; it was the first machine to cast a complete line of type ready to print from. Prev ious to the adoption ot tne improvea 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. Composi tion 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-five of these machines, and every daily uses one or two, so mi there must be about 24.000 used in the daily newspaper offices in the United States and Canada alone. It was estimated in 1898 that there were no more than 6,000 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. If the 24,868 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 he over 120.000. 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 meche (matrices) from which stereotype casts were made. Some of these ear lier machines consisted of a 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. Thi style, called a rotary im pression machine, was built mainly by the late Ottmar Mergcnthaler in 1R77 78, under the auspices of J. O. Cle phane, who later organized the Na tional Typographic company. The aecbnd, 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 U G. Hine, earlv in 188.1. making a small experi mental machine, which printed but twelve letters at a time, but demon strated the fact that a full-sixed ma chine built on this principle would be an enormous step in advance. 1 his was accomplished when the large ma chine was built the third of the ser ies exhibited in the Smithsonian building which was the first machine from which linotype Bara, or slugs, were cat. On the printinp face the characters formed- a complete and solid line of type, similar to a line of individual type soldered together,. I and they were ready for use; a nuni- ber of lines making up a column or Dage just like the individual lines of this article. Dies on Bars. The matrices or dies for the dif 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 a num ber 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 a 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 spare key and rilled 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 a pot .of mol ten metal, which moved up to the slot in the mold, and the linotype bar was cast. I he line was then unciainpen. the matrices automatically raised to their normal positions, and similar op erations for casting the next line were performed. - Its First Tet. 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. Mr. Mergenthaler called for the steam power to be attached; he composed a line, removed the stopper from the metal pump, and touched the line key. Smoothly and silently the matrices slid into their places, were clamped and aligned, the pump discharged its contents, a fin ished linotype, shining like silver, dropped from the machine and the matrices returned again to their nor mal positions. All this was the work of but fifteen seconds." Thimachine was never used com mercially, but it cast a number of slugs, and articles were set up by thi machine from which prints were taken. When it was completed the National Typographic company had high hones that it would be a practi cal 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. The amplication for .the patent on this ma chine was filed August 30, 1884, but was not granted until March 3, 1885. In the exhibits of graphic arts in the Simthsonian building, there are many other interesting series showing the develooment of instruments and ma chines relating to the art of printing. illustrating and book-making. Japanese in America Send Much Money Home (CerropoTidenra of Th Auoclat"! Praaa.l Tokio, Dec. 30.

LOVE AND WAR IN ROYAUQUABBLE Princess Louise of Belgium, Who Eloped With Hungarian , Count, Sticks By Him. HUSBAND GETS DIVORCE People i li'nrrnponclnci' of Th Asiorialf d Pr-.su.) Budapest, Hungary, Dec. 15. The lov'e affair of I'rinccss Louise of Bel gium and her former riding master. Count von Matassich, a Hungarian subject and first lieutenant in the Aus- tro-Hungarian cavalry, had an inter esting aftermath recently when the count was ordered to leave Budapest for "political reason?." He was or dered to remove to his native town in Croatia, hut eleventh-hour interces sion hv Dr. Visontai. the legal ad viser of Princess Louise, influenced the police to permit Matassich to re main in the capital under surveillance. Scandal in Court. Bark of (he action lies the con tinued endeavor of the family of the princess to septate her from Matas sich, who eloped with her when she was the wife of Prince Philip of Saxe Cohurg in 18. 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 Bu dapest, hut finally obtained permis sion to reside in Munich, where she now is. It is considered unlikely that Count Matassich will be given per mission to go to Munich, so that for 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 gium. In 1875 she married Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg, who was fourteen years her senior, when she was 17. She was 35 when she met Count Matassich, who was employed as her riding master, nd soon their relations became the scandal of Europe. Shortly after the elopement Count Matassich was arrested, charged' with forgery in aiding Princess Louise to swindle Vienna money lenders by cashing notes with the forged signature of Princess Stephanie. He spent a 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 (CTrepondB of Th Aiwoolatftd Pri.) 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 suner-tmoosmg a sngnt layer ot zinc. The discs of metal, together with some zinc powder, are placed in a vessel ahd heated for a certain time at a temperature somewhat below that of the melting point of zinc, whereupon- a 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." nf Lnnrlnn Are to Roieo Pin in Their Gardens iiuihu I ysi in ,...

Ths man who has a mortgage on his house should protect it in ev.nt of his death or psrmsnent disability, otherwiaa the horns may bs loat by f orecloaure of the mortgage as certainly as it may be lost by firs. When a home is mortgaged a Life Insurance policy for the amount of the mortgage should be immediately secured. Any plan of paying off the mortgage by saving is imperiled by the possibility of death. A Life insurance policy affords a certain and far better method than any plan of saving. A whole Life eolicy at a low cost or a Limited Payment policy will take care of the imtgage at the death of the insured, while an Endow ment policy combines both the certainty of inaurance and the paying off of the mortgage during the lifetime of the insured. Assume your home is mortgaged for $2,000. You intend to pay It off by installments of $200 a year. A Ten-Year Endowment policy, age 86, requires you to save only $183.42 a year and it will pay off the mortgage at the end of ten years or immedi ately at death. Assume the mortgage is for $4,000. A Twenty-Year Endowment policy will cost only $171.12 a year for twenty years, and your mortgagees taken care of whether you live or die.
