lutely fair and straight man, in full

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

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.

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."

SUBSTANTIAL C
PAYING OFF THE MORTGAGE
Tht man who owns s home insures it sgiinst fire. 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.
