An English company has been formed to print without the use of ink in n in form, by simply bringing the plate into contact with chemically-dampened pa per linen, silk, wool or other fabric, and obtaining a good, clear Impression of any desired density. The operation, ays the Phlledelphia Record, is as quick and more simple than letter press printing and the work resembles In clearness and delicacy a copperplate or litho engraving. Ordinary printers' type blocks, forms, stereotypes and electrotypes may bo used as a printing surface and drawings, etc., requiring special blocks or electros, lithographic work or copperplate engraving can be done at a great saving. Originul sketches, scrolls or fancy lettering can be made upon the transparency or traced through from drawn or printed sketches, the words being typed in their respective places, and, if printed on opaque paper, photographic replicas of any size can be made, while engrav ings can be reproduced direct from the artist's work. Any class of paper may be used, the sensitizing solution is much cheaper than printing ink, and the speed of the process is greatly in its favor. The Author of "In His Steps " The author of 'In His Steps," the famous religious book, of which over three million copies have now been sold, has been induced to answ er, in an article which he lias sent to '.'
