INVENTOR OF PRINTING.
FIVE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE BIRTH OF CUTENBERC.
He Wat a Native of the Qkl Rhanlnh
City of Mayence—A Pntrlclau by Blrtli
—Learned the Printing Trade and ltev
olutloulzed It With Movable Type.
Germany lias Just celeliratod in a
most fitting way the five hundredth
anuivenfhry of the birth of Johann
Gutenberg, the inventor of printing,
one of the most notable and character
istic of her sons. In the bountiful
old Ithenisli city of Mayenee, the
birthplace of the fuventer, there was
nn exhibition of the best and the most
curions which the printer's art has
produced during the past live hundred
years. There was an historical pro
cession through the old streets in
which the costumes of Gutefitierg's
time were reproduce<l. Hundreds of
scholars and specialists in printing
came from all parts of Germany to
do honor to the great man's memory.
There were festal excurgions on the
historic river and illuminations in the
evenings—altogether a worthy and
dignified celebration. No one can ac
cuse the Germans of neglecting the
memory of their great men.
It is impossible to state wtth accu
racy the exact year of Gutenberg's
birth, but there is strong reason for
believing that he first saw the light
some time near the close of the four
teenth century. His real name was
Genstleisch, Gutenberg being only his
cognomen, probably the name of the
place whence the family came. He be
longed to a partrician family of May
enee, his father seems to have boon
a man of political Importance, for we
hear of him as involved in the
turmoils which at that time were
chronic between the Bishop Elector
of Mayenee and the guilds and burgh
ers. With his family he was obliged
to fly to Strassburg, and it was In the
Alsatian city that Gutenberg learned
the arts which he was afterward to
turn to Such good account. He de
voted himself to goldsmith's work, to
the manufacture of mirrors, and to
exix>riments In Iron, copix'r and lead.
During Gutenberg's resilience in
Strassburg we gut one or two curious
glimpses of him, hut nothing that is
sufficient. Ho had a legal dispute with
some citizens as to a certain plant in
which he was interested, hut of more
human interest Is a complaint made
against him to the Bishop tiy a certain
Anna of the Iron Gates for refusing
to fulfill a pledge he had mpde to
marry her.
This is all we know of Grrtenherg
until we again bear of him In May
enee, a man of matured midille age,
probably fifty years old. Mayenoo at
that time was a great ecclesiastical
centre, and likely enough Gutehlierg
had returned to his paternal city to
manufacture goldsmith's work for
the Bishop Elector and his clergy.
But he must have had other views as
wefl. While in Strassburg he had his
attention turned to the tedious pro
cesses involved in the printing of the
Donatl, as the elementary 1-fftln gram
mars of the time were called. The let
ters were engraved on a large block of
wood, much as our wood cuts are at
the present time. We do not know
Gutenberg's jtroccsses of thought, but
the Idea had evidently struck him that
this cumlirous method of production
would be vastly simplified If movable
metal letters were employed Instead of
engraved blocks of wood. In Strass
burg he had Bet himself tlie task of
molding those letters of various de
grees of hardness, and ft is evident
that when I*' returned to Mayenee lie
brought with htm a coushlernbhj sup
ply of these movable types.
Gutenberg was always a poor man,
and evidently thriftless. So on his ar
rival in Mayenee he made the ac
quaintance of IT certain Jolianp Fust,
a fifteenth century capitalist, tvYio foj
a couslderatloß was willing to sot up
the inventoF^a~ptanTeF
equipped printing office. Gutenberg
anxious'to "get Work, accepted Fust's
offer. But the business association of
the two men was a failure. Guten
berg coold pay neither capital nor In
terest, and Fnst was compelled to
cast about for n more Inislness-llke
partner, whom he found la the cele
brated Peter Schoffer. Poor Guten
berg was deprived of much of his liest
type, and had It not been for the mer
ciful interposition of a wealtliy burgh
er, who believed In him. he would
have suffered complete commercial
shipwreck. He never, however, was
able to get his head above water, and
after two or three years of painful
struggle he gave up the contest
against the powerful ttrrn of Fust &
Schoffer.
Toward tire dose of Ms rtfo. prob
ably broken down by euros and dis
appointments, he seems to lias-e Joined
the confraternity of lay brothers of
St. Victor and to have led an ascetic,
prayerful life. His friends managed
to procure for liitn a position as one
of the Elector's Servitors, a nomina
tion which secured for him a new suit
of clothes every year, and a sufficiency
of corn and wine for his necessities.
Once a year he went to the Elector's
castle at Eltville to obtain his suit of
clothes. He was over sixty when he
died an unnoticed man, and few of
his townsmen followed him to his
humble grave in the cloisters of the
Dominican monastery. ■
It is to Gutenberg's association with
Fust that we owe the celebrated Gut
enberg Bibles. There were two of
these, the first (14.13-1456) with forty
two lines to the page, the second with
thirty-six lines. Only thirty-one cop
ies of the forty-two-line Bible are
known to exist, some of them im
perfect, and of the thirty-six-line, only
nine, more or less complete, copies. It
Is not probable that the forty-two-llne
Bible was printed In a larger edition
than one hundred copies. A short
time after its appearance in 1450 a
forfy-fwo-llne Bible was fold In May
ence for forty gold guldens, equal to
about S7O; and a few years ago in
London a good copy reached the enor
mous price of SI9OO. It .s pleasant to
remember that this old citizen of May
encti had felt the peed of printing tlie
Bible. It was tills that spurred htm
on to his work, and wo are grateful
to him for the large share he lias
taken In enabling us now, five hun
dred years after his birth, to elrcutotn
this most glorious of all books tn un
ion! of copies In all the languages
of the earth.—New York Independent
A Grouse Cock Fight.
I hart nearly lost hope of liaggtng a
chicken and had turned a shoulder to
the bret-za, says Maurice Thompson In
the Atlantic, when something whis
tled, or chirped, close l>e!iind we. At
the same time wings fluttered, and
upon turning, I saw a cock grouse
not more than six feet from ma When
he struck the ground he erected all of
his feathers and looked at me wildly.
I had twisted myself nird was turned
but half around. I saw tllat he was
going to fly—l must shoot instantly
or not at all. It was an awkward
situation. Then a new feature was
added. Flying like a bullet came an
other cock and struck the first, where
upon the two tought like savages,
tumbling on the grass, striking with
their wings, peeking, kicking, chatter
ing. Evidently they were bent upon
killing each other If possible. I let
drive an arrow at them and missed.
Shot again and knocked one over.
The other flew away In crazy haste.
On my way back to camp I passed
through a scrub-oak grove on u low,
sandy ridge lying at right angles to
the river, and in the midst of it found
a pond literally swarming with dncks
of different species. They must have
sought the sheltered place to avoid
the chill and worry of the wind. It
was deep water and the birds kept
well out from shore, so I did not
shoot, as every arrow would haw
been lost.
A Klver's Curious Course.
Unique In Its kind Is no doubt the
Mocona waterfall In the South Ameri
can republic of Uruguay, situated
about two miles below the mouth of
the Piperi Assu Itiver Into the Uru
guay. A great rock divides tlie river
into two separate streams In such a
manner that the right arm continues
Its flow on the original level, while
the second arm falls gradually, so that
it finally lies twenty-two feet below
the level of the other arm. The bed
of the upper part of the river Is not
very deep, and tho water flows partly
iu a right augle u> the river, thus form
ing a waterfall of more than two miles
In length.
Tills unique view presents Itself to
the traveler, however, only during the
winter, for in the summer, and espe
cially during the rainy season, the
Uruguay contains such Immense quan
tities of water that both arms form
one single stream, navigable even for
the largest freight steamers. The fall
has been known for centuries, nnd n
description of It was published as
early as 1091 by Rev. Antonlus Sepp,
n missionary from Tyrol, who spent
over twenty years among the Indians
of Uruguay.
The Hoar of a Battle.
The roar of the navy's fonr-prrint
ssven's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the shrap
nel, the barking of tlie howitzers, and
the mechanical, regular rattle of the
quick-firing Maxims, which sounded
like the eliciting of many mowing ma
chines on a hot summer's day. tore the
air with such hideous noises that one's
sltnll ached from the concussion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus of mighty thunder and
petty hammering was the roar of the
wind which was driven down Into the
Galley beneath, "snd which swept up
again In enormous waves of sound. It
roared like a great hurricane at sea.
The illusion Yuii so complete that you
expected, by looking down, to see the
Tugela lashing at her hanks, tossing
tho spray hundreds of foet tn air, and
battling with her sides of rock. It
was like the roar of Niagara In a gale,
and yet when you did look liolow not
a leaf was stirring, and the Tugela
was slipping forward, flat and slug
gish, and In peace.—Richard Hadiug
Davis, In Scribuer's.
The Sparrow In a New Light.
An English writer. In a recent Issue
of the Lady's Pictorial, says: "Do you
know that the ordinary sparrow, when
turned, Is a very affectionate creature,
and a most lively and Intelligent com
panion? A friend of ours tamed one,
and It not only discriminated between
the members of the family, loving
some and disliking others, but actually
had Its own musical preferences,
strange little bird! It hated Chopin,
tolerated Liszt, Ignored Beethoven,
but enjoyed Mozart and Mendelssohn.
What bird of lilgli aristocratic lineage
could yon find who would show such
critical faculties as this? Bullfinches,
charming as is their mellow whistle,
are such delicate birds as to be a con
stant care, and they are of so Jealous
a disposition that they have been
knowu to pine and die when super
seded by some other pet"
The llraln. of Women.
From scientific observations made
all overthe world It appears that wom
en's brains ure invariably of less di
mensions than those of men. Height
and weight appear In nowise to affect
this result. -Men of less stature, men
of equal weight with women, still own
heavier and larger brains. The result
is uniform in all countries, and with
all races. Whenever and whoever
measurements of brain have been at
tempted the same thing is seen. Men
have always nearly ten per cent, more
brains than women.—London Graphic.
