A Democrat With Republican Com
victiOnS.

Wausau Central Wisconsin: Elk Mayor
William Kennedy of Superior, a Demo-
crat, ran for congress against the Hon.
John j. Jenkins, last fail, and was
beaten by over 10000 majority. In a
recent interview the ex-mayor said, III
substance, that he was a Democrat in
name, yet, but at heart a Republican.
His language was as follows: Il am a
Democrat by breeding, and [ want to
be one in practice, but how can fellow
do it when his personal interests are
involved in the protection of certain
industries? On the face it is absurd for
a man who lives at the head of the
lakes to support the idea of free trade,
or even Of tariff for revenue. There is
nothing that can benefit the country up
there-which must thrive by the devel-
opment of the iron industry-as protec-
ton can, and the people know it. /
went out and made speeches last fall,
but could not say anything in support
Of the Democratic idea of tariff. and
the result was that the Republicans
voted for me and the Democrats were
against me. l, of course, would like to
have been elected, but there would be
no sense in going to congress as a
Democrat with these ideas that | hold
on the tariff, and | suppose that | am
better off at home. AS / said, | am
Democrat, and expect to be always, but
| am with Gen. Hancock in his declar-
alton that the tariff is local issue.
When free trade hurts me and my
interests, am going to be protection
ist." That's pretty good, Mr.. Kennedy;
much better than free trade. Protection
not only hell s you and your town, but
it helps all America. With your views
you cannot longer honestly vote with
the Democracy.

Convicted of IncendiariSm.

Plainfeld. Wis, June S.-Gilbert
Applebee and Isaac Turner were sem
fenced to three years in the state prison
for burning house in Adams county
several months ago. The case was tried
at Friendship and about fifty witnesses
were present Milwaukee Sentinel.
We made inquiries about the above
item and find that the building which
was burned was of no value. The
Applebees have been the cause of a
great deal of expense to the county in
more ways than one, and Isaac Turner
is married to one Of the daughters. The
supposition is that they found them
guilty more to get rid of them than for
the value attached to the building.
There was no Insurance.

MARBLlNG BOOKS.
Tho Slow Old Process by Which the Fancy
Edges Are Made.

Enc SLOW Old Process by Which the Fancy
Edges Are Made.
Almost ever since tho 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 deliberately let
tered-had their edges thus garnisbed,
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 the 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.
- Is generally supposed that all such
details have come 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 on the pop
ularity of this method of embellishing
paper has grown less. Consequently
there has been no 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 in some mysteri-
Gus manner, as might be supposed, each
book is taken by hand separately and
the leaves dipped, tightly held together,
into the 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
filed 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.
The cans of liquid paint are ranged
along the sides of the trough, and from
them the paint is taken by dipping into
them long, soft hairbrushes 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 ex-
tremely dexterously dipped into the wa
ser, and the colors adhering to their
edges are set by dashing cold water ever
them. But one OF the three edges at
time can be marbleized and set up on
end to dry before the book can be han
died again for another dipping. Thus
the variegated edges Of books and mar
bled papers for the sides and covers of
them are produced.
The process may seem little slow,
but it answers all the needs that the
bookbinder finds for it.-St. Louis Re-
public.

SPEED OF WILD DUCKS AND GEESE

The Ducks Make Over Sixty-six Miles an
Hour and Outny the Geese.
OF all the migratory birds the Ameri-
can wild pigeon and black duck are we'll
up toward the front as regard long and
rapid fight. The speed of the pigeons
can only be estimated, while that of the
ducks can be established by observation.
Some years ago the writer and a scien-
tific 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 flock of wild ducks
took'in passing up or down the river,
near the stations.
During three hours on the morning
Of bright October day, observations
were. noted of the times of passing the
stations of nine different focks. Upon
comparing watches it was found that
the average time was 2 minutes and 40
seconds, thus showing the speed per
hour to be &c q miles, or one mile in 81
seconds. As showing how uniform was
their flight, difference was found of
only five seconds between the greatest
and the least intervals of time.
As numerous focks of wild geese
were daily flying in the same ,neighbor-
hood observations were also taken to test
their hourly speed. Two points twenty
nine and one-third miles apart were Sc
lected, both Of which were connected by
telegraph. We succeeded in identifying
four out Of seven flocks which passed
over both places during thefour days
We were on the watch. The mean hour
y speedwas found to be fraction over
"a miles. The wild goose hasbeen long
supposed to be the swiftest Of sall water
fowl, but this experiment shows that he
is far ibehind the wild dudk.-New
