Presidential Electors Must all be
Chosen in State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REpURLTCAN STATE COMMITTEE,
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. %, 1896.

To the Republicans of Mane:-Pror to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
ing to the two United States senators, were
nominated in State convention. and the re-
manning electors, corresponding TO the mem
bers of the United States House of Represen-
tatves were nominated by the several con-
gressonal district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law,
all Conventions are portion of our election
system, and this ballot act requires that can
dldates to be vote d for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomina-
ton by Convention representing less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates of party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,
and have therefore included in the call six
electors.

Japanned leather, generally called pat
ent leather, was first made In America, A
smooth, glazed finish is first given to calf
skin in France. The leather is curried ex-
prcssly for this purpose, and particular
care is taken to keep 1t us free as possible
from grease. The skins are then tackled
on frames and coated with q composition
Of linseed oil and umber in the proportion
Of 1S gallons of oil to Of umber, boiled
until nearly solid, and then mixed with
spirits Of turpentine to the proper consist
ency. Lampblack is also added when
the composition is applied in order to give
color and body. From three to four coats
Of this are necessary to form substance
to receive the varnish. They are laid on
with knife or scraper. To render the
goods soft and plant each coat must be
very light and thoroughly dried after each
application. A thin coat is afterward ap-
piled Of the same composition of proper
consistency to be put on with brush, and
with sufficient lampblack boiled In 1t to
make perfect black. When thoroughly
dry, 1t is cut down with scraper has-
ing turned edges, when 1t is ready to var
nish. The principal varnish used is made
Of linseed oil and russian blue, boiled to

which are scraped and pumiced until the

IF THE SUN WENT OUT.
What Would Happen IL the Orb Of nas
Suddenly Recane Extinct.

What Would Happen II the Orb Of Das
Suddenly Became Extinct.
Tho boldcst imagination may well stand
appalled, at the consequences Of sudden
extinction Of the sun. For St minutes
the length Of time that 1t takes the light
Of the sun to reach the earth-we should
not know that anything had happened.
Then the darkness would fall upon the
world, neither the moon nor the planets
would give any light and the fixed stars
would shine like tiny points Of fire out of
q coal black sky. Tho moisture of the at
mosphero would instantly CONCEAL In o
universal deluge of Ice, the small stack Of
heat possessed by the earth would rapidly
radiate into space, and the temperature
would go ON falling till a degree of cold
more than 300 degrees below zero would
be reached, and the very gases of the at
mospherc would be liqucfled and fall on
the frozen surface of the planet.
Absolutely total darkness there would
not of course be and never could DO un-
less all the stars were extinguished. But
relative darkness would continue for an
enormous period which can only bo ap-
proximately calculated. Tho solar system
is moving through space toward point in
100, 900, 900 miles year, or four miles n
second. But there are no self luminous
stars within distance equal to 200, 900
times the distance between the earth and
tho sun, therefore this gigantic gulf would
have to be crossed before starlight became
sunlight, and this 1t would take some
11S, 900 years to do.
Toward the end Of that period, suppos-
ing always that tho other star systems had
not moved correspondingly, stars in Her
cules would begin to shine as suns, and
the long darkened solar system would be
reilluminated by rays Of ever increasing
intensity until it fell into Its appointed
place as n portion of those distant systems.
It should also be mentioned that the tre-
mendous journey might not be performed
without collision with some other burnt
out sun or darkened system now invisible,
In which case the shock would regenerate
light and heat, and out Of the wrecks Of tho
two systems new one would be evolved.
