From the Indianapolis News.
There are five factories iii Moscow

employed, of which 100 are women and
cyclopedic description of the
ton of gold beaters' skin and gold leaf.
Gold heaters skin Is a delicate men,
brane prepared from the large intestine
OF the OK; the outer or ~peritoneal men,
brane is used for this purpose. The in
testine is first subjected to partial
pu~trefaction. by which the adhesion
OF the membrane is sufficiently dimin-
ished to permit of its being separated.
The separated membrane is then fur
Their cleaned from adhering muscular
fbers. dried, beaten, and pressed be-

the object of which is to obtain the
pure continuous membrane free from
grease and impurities. When thus
beaten continuously for several months
with a 12-pOund hammer without ma
terfal injury. The intestines of 500
oxen are required to furnish the 900
leaves that form one packet or "mold.'
as 1T is technically called.
The gold is first cast into oblong in
gots about three-fourths of an inch
wide and Weighing two ounces. The
ingot is flattened into a ribbon about,
1880 of an inch In thickness by passing
1T through polished steel rollers This

another placed above and so on until
the pile of $50 is formed. This pile,
called. a clutch. is inclosed in a double
parchment case, placed upon a marble
block. and beaten with q 16-pound
hammer. The elasticity of the packet
considerably lightens the labor of beat
ing by causing the hammer to rebound
with ach blow.
The beating is continued until the
one-inch pieces are spread out to four
inch squares. They are then taken out
and cut into four pieces. The squares
thus produced are now placed between
gold beater's skin instead of vellum,
made into piles, Enclosed in 6. parch-
ment case. and beaten as before, but
with a light hammer. Another quar-
tering and beating produces 2.40O
times that of the ribbon and a thick
ness of about 200-1OO0 of an inch. A
still greater degree of thinness may be
obtained. but not profitably. After the
last beating. the leaves are taken up
with wooden pinchers. placed on q
cushion, blown out fiat, and their
ragged edges cut away, by which they
are reduced to a OF 3K inches.
Twenty-Five of these are placed be-
tween the leaves of q paper book. pre-
vfously rubbed with red chalk to pre-
vent adhesion of the gold, n are sold
in this form. Attempts have been
made to apply machinery to gold
beating, blu its application is very
limited. and most Of the gold leaf IL
still beaten by hand.

Child Labor in Vermont.

A prominent citizen Of Burlington, VT,

they provide for responsible officers to

this .is in reality wiping away the eff
feet of the child labor law" In Winoo-
ski. however. the authority to issue these
permits has been delegated to the chief Of
police. He admits that he has not visited
the mills for a year and does not know
whether children Of school age are en-
ployed within them. although he is also a
truant officer.
The situation is something like this:
On the one hand are the two parties to
employers and the children themselves. II
the latter are not anxious to enter the
mills before the legal period their parents
are frequently anxious that they should

It no y OF adequate enforcement.

CAMPAIGN BETS IN Topeka

As chairman of the First district
Republican congressional committee,
E. E. Brewster today issued lengthy
statement in defense of the record of
Congressman D. R. Anthony and de-
clared that his opponent J. B. Chap
man has stated that if elected he will
not qualify in the Democratic caucus.
Anthony's record as progressive
congressman is given by Brewster.
This record shows that in the 6Oth,
61st and 62d sessions of congress,
the national representative from the
First district supported numerous pro-
greSSive measures.
Reviewing Anthony's record, Brew
ster shows he supported these meas
ures:
The law providing for the direct
election of United States senators; the
law prohibiting corporations from con-
tributing to campaign funds; the law
providing for the publication of cam
paign contributions and expenditures
before as well as after election; the
act submitting to the state legislatures
for ratification of an income tax
amendment to the constitution; the
corporation tax law which yields $780,
100000 annual revenue to the govern
ment; the law providing for a close
examination of corporation methods;
all sound tariff revision measures, for
the stock and bond commission; for
