Although not altogether new, it h, we beliere, adopted there for <h« iir^t time in JTew Zeakud. The plan if^simpljt. It oonnsti in merely tying a piece of silk over th* face ot the, die, by w.bich, means ink sufnoienfc it absorbed by one applioatipn to the inking 'pad, to enable the operator to «tf«njp from t*o to three hundred ]eit«H. TUe value ol tlu« method in saving labor can Irt estimated when it is undentood thatj' previously to it adoption, it was noceisary' to'make two movements to ttamp one letter; one stroke was made on the inking pad to Ink^the^die, and one to stamp the letter. 'JTow/only one stroke is necessary on the inking pad for perhaps , two hundred Mti&fr^iitbo' i» saved, and -the hand and arm ar« not to fatiguingly jarred.. jWe understand the plan wbi originally diicovwnd by an old Haw Z«s4ind ( (Wjeidentts(Wie jetut tigo, and brought under notice by a firm to whom he confided the management of 'nis interest in it. He bas since gone home to share in the profits of'its successful" application.
