Japanese Type-Setting.
Titi: Japanese printer is very much hampered by our present, methods of work, and I do noO sec how avo are going to change them- The Japanese alphabet contains about eio'ht thousand characters, and each character occupies a different box in the case. The composing-room has only one case, which is placed against the side of the wall, the boxes being arranged as high and low as a man can well reach, and all the compositors use this one case. On this account the printers are compelled to walk about twenty railed in a day, and when hurried go rushing about from one box to another, tumbling- over each other in the most confusing manner. This causes tho work to tako much more time and labour than in moat other counlriob. — JPibtsburg Commercial.'
