MARCHING BOOKS.
The Slow Old Process by Which The Fancy
Edges Are Made.


Almost ever since the first books were
made the fashion of marbleizing the
edges of many of them has been in
vogue 1t used to be, however, that only
the most expensive volumes - those
bound in full calf and elaborately let
tered-had their edges thus garnished,
but now such finishing is left. for the
most part, for ledgers. daybooks and
other blank books intended for business
use.
Though long before gilt edges were
thought Of tho ornamenting of the plain
white edges of books TO initiate marble
was popular, there has been little or no
change in the process since it's first in
PRODUCTION.
1t is generally supposed that all such
details have como under the stamp of
the bookmaker's art until there is moth
ing left in them to remind one of their
first and earliest days, but not with
marbling AS time has gone Oh the pop
ularity of this method of embellishing
paper has grown less. Consequently
there has been 10 need to devise means
by which it could be more speedily done
There have been some improvements in
the original methods, but most book
binders still stick to the old way as
good enough.
Instead Of books whizzing through
machinery one after another and taking
on their marbled edges i'll some mysteri-
Gus manner, as might be supposed, each
book is taken by hand separately and
the leaves dipped, tightly held together,
into tho liquid that marks their edges
with the many colored little veins, be-
fore the covers are put on.
A trough about two inches deep is
filled with gum water, On the surface of
which various colored pigments have
been thrown and disposed in various
forms with comb and coarse wire teeth.
Tho cars Of liquid paint are ranged
along the sides of the trough, and from
them the paint is taken by dipping into
them long, soft hairbI ushes that are
held over the water and allowed to drip
One color is put down right over the
other. and the wide, coarse comb drag
ged through them. The books are OK
tremeiy dexterously dipped into the wa
ter, and the colors adhering to their
edges are set by dashing cold water over
them. But one of the three edges at
time can be marbleized and set up on
end to dry before tine book can be han
died again for another dipping. Thus
the variogated edges Of books and mar
bled papers for the sides and covers OF
them are produced.
The process may seem o little slow,
but it answers all the needs that the
bookbinder finds for it-St Louis Re

SCme years ago the writer and a scien-
tiiic friend measured Off on the shore Of
a large western river line exactly three
miles long, and each took a station at
opposite ends Of the line The object
was TO note, by means Of preconcerted
signals, the time Z flock Of wild ducks
took III passing up or down the river,
near the stations.
During three hours en- the morning
Of bright October day, observations
were noted Of the times of passing the
stations OF nine different nocks Upon
comparing watches it was found that
the average time was minutes aud ~
seconds. thus showing the speed per
hour to be- GC2 miles, or ono mile in "a
seconds. As showing low uniform was

only five seconds between tic greatest
and the least intervals of time.
As numerous focks OF wild geese

hood observations were also taken to test
their hourly speed Two points twonty-

CRAVE TROUBLE FEARED,
Officials Aroused by Predic-
tiOnS of Serious Labor
COmmOtiOn.
Confer enCe to Discuss Strike
Rumors Postponed by Governor
Budd's Absence.

The meeting of City and State officials,
which was arranged for yesterday, as pub
lished in THE CALL, was postponed for the
reason that Governor Budd did not arrive,
as was expected.
AS stated, the meeting was to have been
a conference between the head of the Po-
lice Department and the chief officers of
the State militia, to discuss the low NUT
terings of discomfort among certain labor
organizations, and the best means of meet
ing the emergency in the event that a
great strike, vaguely rumored at first, but
now boldly prophesied, should occur. 1t
is this phase of the situation which has
alarmed the heads of the City's peace
officers and the State soldiery.
Probably the most ominous utterance to
come from a labor leader, which could be
taken as reliable indication that such a
feeling is general among the labor organ
izations, was that which one of the promi-
nert union leaders was heard to make use
of on the Fourth of July. When asked
why the unions refused to take part in ne
parade he said: "They ask us to help cele-
brate in the name of liberty. Why should
we when there is no liberty?"
Such utterances and the bolder predic-
tions that have frequently been made use
of by public speakers have aroused grave
apprehensions in the minds of the mill
tary and civil officials until there is no dis
guisinC the fact that such fears exist and
it is equally certain that steps are being
secretly taken to quell any disturbance
that may arise.
When Chief Crowley was seen yesterday
concerning the matter, he secuted the idea
that any serious trouble was imminent, but
he did not deny that he had been asked to
attend conference of militia officers to
discuss important matters in which the
of the City ana State would be a subject
for consideration.
The time for the postponed conference is
not set. but it is expected to be held at
such time as will enable Governor Budd
to be present.
The San Francisco call., 1895-07-15

anew, to rebuild but more extensively, the en-
terprise which had so greatly suffered. New
desires took root, and from the ashes OF the old
establishment we determined there should
spring life, strong and more active than that
which had perished, and that there should be
built up a trade not excelled, and, If possible,
not equaled by any other similar concern on
the Pacific Coast. With this purpose in view
we have located our plant here. Here the ship
ping facilities at command Will carry our
products to any portion of the country. Here
here every opportunity for large and staple
business exists In the past we have lost many
large terra-cotta contracts. Not being able to
furnish the pressed bricks we were compelled
manufacture our own blicks and be in posi-
ton to meet any and all competitors. In these
works will be manufactured everything that
can be made of clay No branch OF the rough
pottery will be left untouched.
Let me say to our friends of San Jose that it
is not SO much from choice as by the necessities
of business that we have located here. While,
however, we appreciate the advantages we
possess here, we do not forget the kindness
and support that you have given us. No COM
munity could be more loyal and generous to
its own industries, nor more solicitous for their
success. For those reasons we will still main
tain branch in the Garden City. To the
South San Francisco Land and improvement
Company we offer our sincere thanks, and
hope our locating here will greatly increase
the population and boom the town of South
San Francisco.
NOW, gOOu ITleHus, we DlQ you welcome TO
the birth-feast of our new works, and we open
these doors with every confidence in the
future because 1t is home industry, because
its output will be what it is represented to be-
and because we will devote to the business abb
solutely whatever energies we possess. We
expect to succeed, but no matter what the
future may be, the memory of your presence
here to-day will always endure.

was hungry, and the smoking Joints had
to be called on time after time before the
demand slackened. Then toasts became
the order of the dinner and speeches fol-
lowed each other IN rapid succession. Ex-
Judge Francis E. Spencer and G. w. Woos-
ter, of San Jose, led off with a few re-
marks of appreciation for the welcome ex-
tended. Speeches then became general.
until by twos and threes the guests left the
long table and sought amusement in sight
seeing. There was plenty to see.
The Steiger Brothers have purchased
eight acres OF land, most of which is of a
clay formation which furnishes the finest
material for the products of the works. 1t
is estimated that there is enough clay in
the property to keep the works running
for fifty years. The property is situated
just around the bend of Sierra Point, and
has frontage of 500 feet on the water. A
dredged channel leading past the works to
the packing-house beyond furnishes op-
portunities to ship directly by water, as
the sidetrack admits of direct communica-
ton by rail. In the building most of the
machinery is in place, but there are now
under course of construction four terra
Gotta kilns and five sewer-pipe kilns.
There is one pipe kiln finished.
A Corliss engine of 175 horsepower, sup
piled with steam by two boilers, drives all
the machinery of the works. The upper
and tireproof work and the lower two
floors will be used for the making and
storing of pipes and bricks. All the ma
chinery necessary to carry on the pipe and
brick making is now in place, and to-
morrow morning, if not to-day, will see it
running. The grinders are in an addition
to the main building. They are big ma
chimes, all new and ready to start up at
once. Inside on the lower floor are the
brick machines, and above them, on the
second floor, are the mixers. There, too,
is space for the drying rooms for the terra
Gotta work and for the pipe as it comes
from the press above.
The pipe press is a ponderous engine set
on the third floor and discharging the
lengths of pipe on a table on the floor be-
low. The power of the press is secured by
steam admitted at 100 pounds pressure into
a 50-inch cylinder. This, it is calculated,
gives working pressure on the clay in the
mold of nearly fifty tons to the inch.
The works were located at Baden through
the efforts of the South San Francisco
Land and improvement Company. The
buildings and machinery, which for thirty
years had been in active operation in San
Jose, were burned down last August. The
Steigers Immediately prepared to rebuild,
but the advantages of the new location
being shown to them they gave up the idea
of rebuilding in San Jose and started
new plant on the shores of Sierra Point
What is left of the place in San Jose that
was not destroyed will be transferred to
Baden as an addition to that already In
but when the new plant starts up it will
be with new machinery from beginning to
end. 1t is the intention of the firm to
make more of the San Francisco trade
than it formerly did, and to that end one
of the brothers has become resident of
this City.
