Nor is darkness limited to sensations conveyed to the brain thru the optical nerves. All ignorance, all injustice, is a form of darkness. In that sense the printing press is the greatest light in| history. It shines forth on the roads of eternity as the march forward thru the ages out of the darkness into light.

The discoverer is the Illinois Journal of Labor, and this publication claims if those intimately concerned will take advantage of the new discovery all will be well.
