Latest Kansas Events.
Went to Kansas with plumb.

Louis Donmyer, II years old, died
at his home near New Cambria He
went there in the early SOS from
Cambria, Pa. He started the town
of New Cambria in Saline county.
Fifty years ago a party of promoters
left Iowa City for Saiina for the pur-
pose of organizing a town. Among
the number were Mr. Donmyer, Sam
uel F. Tappin, Preston B. Plumb and
the father of Representative Curtis
They stopped in Topeka, where Cur
tbs remained, but Plumb, Tappin and
others went on They stopped in
the Salina valley, just north of where
Salina now stands, and started the
town of Mariposa, but the venture did
not prove a success. Salina after
wards absorbed the town. The only
survivor of the original party is A. c.
Pierce, of Junction City.

The Ace Of Lead.

4
We are wont to speak of this era
as the "age of fron," and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, If not absolutely neces-
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding,
pliable, it is not much like it's sister
metal. but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such a prominent
place in the arts and industries
Modern plumbing. requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos-
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
4'slugs, monotype type-an are
made of compositions of which lead
is the chief component-to say moth
ing of the bearings in the presses as
well as all other kinds of machinery
in which "babbitt'' metal is used
Solder is another lead product
what a field of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
our houses looking pretty - inside
and out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many of US thank metallic lead
for the comforts of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me-
tallic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name of ready-pre-
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are Just as good as
white lead. But all good paint is
made of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with linseed oil.
White lead is also used in the coat
ing of fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
Red 1ead' is another product of
metallic lead and is what is known as
an oxide of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, etc., which are es-
sential to many of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as well as of iron.

birds allotted to their conties. The
fact that the birds are to be turned
