A LONG-BEARDED German, {n the second quarter of the fifteenth DON'T Ki SAne, ee!

His workmen were loyal. His capitalists were not. Nearly every | rich man who financed the scheme quarrelled with the inventor and sued | him, Litigation, arrest, fraud, oppression were the personal rewards reaped by the genius who devised the “secret process.” The process was known as “imprinting,” later shortened to ‘printing.” The inventor was Johann Gutenberg of Mentz, Germany. | (When at last people realized the importance of printing, its invention was claimed for, or by, nearly a dozen men—Coster, Fust, Schoffer and i o others.

The Chinese were highly civilized when Europeans were savages and more than a thousand years before America was discovered. Most of our inventions were anticipated by them. And it was the Chinese who Invented printi: They employed it as long ago os 600 A. D. And years later it was in general use. Their process was simple. They { words on a sheet of parchment, slapped the parchment on a soft board wi the ink was still wet, then cut out of the board the inked marks and these for types to inscribe new parchment sheets. Many records and stories were thus printed, and the Chinese used the same device for making designe on cloth, Europe took up the invention as early as the twelfth century, but only for making patterns on various fabrics, It did not occur to any one to use it for printing words or letters. Gutenberg saw the wonderful possibilities of the new art. All books had hitherto been written out by hand. Each separate copy was made with as much physical labor as was the original manuscript. It was a fearfully slow and tedious task. Not only did it mean.a tremendous expense, but the copyists used to make glaring mistakes, (Thus, in one written copy of the Bible the word “not” wags omitted from several of the Ten Command- ments, to the scandallzed horror of its readers.)
