The Marsden PROCESS.

The Marsden process consists in saw
ing the waste of dry cornstalks They
are ground. The cellulose or pith is
then separated, leaving residuum of
ground meal. The ratio in bulk is
about one part of meal to one of cellu-
lose. The ratio in weight is said to be
seven parts or more of meal to one of
cellulose. This dry meal has been fed
to live stock for "a long period at the
Maryland experiment station 1t proves
to be equal to if not better than the
best of hay in the production of meat
and milk in combination with other
food to make it eomplete-that is to
say, used i'll the same manner as hay is
used as part of ration.
The cellulose will have a vast num-
Der of uses. The most conspicuous use
will be in the construction of naval yes
sells For this purpose it is compressed
to 6h pounds TO the cubic foot, III
which condition it win absorb 20
times its volume of water, For naval
purposes it is made into large blocks,
each of which is placed in cell III the
steel hull of the ship, notably at the
bow and stern, and between decks so as
to protect the deck over the vital points
of the ship, the center of the vessel be-

center Of gravity is altered so that the
gun deck has very much greater sta
bility in action. 1t is claimed that such

Sound Money Democrat Still Sound

Mr.. George Raymer. editor OF the
Madison Democrat, is one OF the
former adhereuts of that party who
could not endorse the l6-to-l Chicago
platform Of 1896, and voted for Me-
Kinley. His views. therefore, on
proposed financial legislation must
be accounted as honest as those OF n
republican. He disapproves the
proposed issuance Of currency Sc
cured only by bank assets, and de-
slaros it even more dangerous than
free silver coinage In this he Is uu-
douhtedly in harmony with a great
number of republicans and 1t is for
iuuate for the party that the pro-
posed financial legislation probably
cannot be enacted before the next
presidential election, for 1t would
surely ostrauge enough republicans
20 defeat their ticket. Assuming
NJ. Raymer 10 be correct as to facts
stated the TRIBUNE can but endorse
his position relative to currency
based ON bank assets alone. He says:

ish Minister to the T.. :, in which
the president is insulted, autonomy

could not have occurred at worse
time for the interests of Spain, as the

posed amendment to the Diplomatic

of Nebraska, all looking to inmedi-
ate action by this government either
