There are plenty of persons, including
those in charge of the institution of
course, who consider Yale college the
finest educational establishment in the
United States, if not the world. So far
as mental framing goes, however, there
are many who, while having great re
spect for Yale, do not fully concur in
this view, and perhaps this is a lucky
thing. Otherwise the rush of students
to New Haven town might lie so great
as to overwhelm the settlement and kill
the college by simply smothering it to

MARBLING BOOKS.
T h « S lo w O ld F r o c e s h b y W h i c h t h e F a n c y
E d g es A r e M ade.
Almost ever since the first books were
made the fashion of maTbleizing the
edges of many of them has been in
vogue. It used to be, however, that only
the most expensive volumes — those
hound in full calf and elaborately let
tered— had their edges thus garnish id,
but now m cb finishing is left, for the
most part, for ledgers, daybooks and
f her blank books intonded for bnsiness
ase.
Though long before gilt edges were
thought of the ornamenting of the plaiu
white edges of books to imitate marble
was popular, there has been little or no
change in the process since its first in
troduction.
It is generally supposed that all such
details have come under the stamp of
the bookmaker’s art until there is noth
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
ous manner, as might be supposed, each
book is taken by band separately and
the leaves dipped, tightly held together,
into the liqnid that marks their edges
with the many colored little veins, be
fore the covers are pnt on.
A trough about two inches deep is
filled with gnm water, on the surface of
which various colored pigments have
beeu thrown and disposed in various
forms with a comb and coarse wire teeth.
The cans of liquid paint are ranged
along the sides of the trtmgh, and trom
them the paint is taken by dipping into
them long, soft hairbrushes that are
held over the water am. allowed to drip.
Oue color is pnt down right over the
other, and the wide, coarse comb drag
ged throngh them. Tho books are ex
tremely dexterously dipped into the wa
ter, and the colors adhering to their
edges are set by dashing cold water over
them. But one of the three edges at a
time can be marbleized and set np on
end to dry before the book cun be ban
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 a little slow,
bnt it answers all the needs that the
bookbinder finds for it.— St. Louis Re

Of all the migratory birds the Ameri

can ouly be estimated, while that of the

home years ago the writer aud a scien
tific friend measure.! off on the shore of
u large 'vestern riv« r a line exactly three
miles mug, and each took a station at
opposite cuds of the line. The object
was to note, by means of preconcerted
signals, the time a flock of wild docks
took in passing np or down the river,
near the stations.
During three hours on the morning
of a bright October day, observations
were noted of t ie times of passing the
stations of niuo different flocks. Upon
comparing watches it was found that
the average time- was 2 minutes and 42
seconds, thns showing the speed per
hour to be 66 % miles, or one mile in 54
seconds. As showing how nniform was
tbeir flight, a difference was found of
only five seconds between the greatest
a n d the least intervals of time.
As nnmerons flocks 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 se
lected, both of which were connected by
telegraph. VYe succeeded in identifying
four ont of seven flocks which passed
over both places during the four days

A famous Montana character is Char
lie Allard of Ravalli. Mr. Allard is fa
mous mainly because he is one of the
owners of the largest herd of buffalo in
the country, and no man living has
given to these now rare animals more
patient study and attention than he.
"T h e coldest storms of winter do not
trouble them,” he says, “ for their
thick, shaggy coats are windproof.
Daring the heavy snows and blizzards
they climb the hills, and turning their
breasts to tho wiuu defy the storm.
They feed where the snow is thinnest.
Cattle are driven before a storm and
w ill often go with a wind 60 or 100
miles from the accustomed range unless
they reach a sheltered spot Horses turn
their backs to a storm, bnt the buffaloes
face it every time. They seem to keep
in about the same condition of flesh the
year round and are as good eating in
the spring as they are in the fall, and a
buffalo steak is abont as fine a morsel
as ever a man made a meal of. Abont
two years ago I purchased the .Tones
herd of bnffalo, which was at Omaha.
There were 31 of them in the herd, and
we paid(for I have apartner n ow )< l 8 ,-
000 for the lot Marcbiel Pablo, a well
known cattleman, has joined me in the
business aud for the past year has had
entire charge of them, so that I do not
know just exactly how many we have—
about 140, I should judge, now, and by
next fall theTe w ill be fully 200 of
them.
"W e have experimented in crossing
bnffalo with all breeds of cattle, and
the resnlts are most satisfactory. The
Polled Angns stock when crossed with
the bnffalo produces a magnificent ani
mal. The fnr is finer and closer than
that of the buffalo, and the meat is
sweet and wholesome. We are produc
ing as many of these animals as possi
ble, but w ill not pnt any on the market
for several years yet. We are not selling
any bnffalo either, for the reason that
we need them all at present We re
ceive letters every day from museums,
parks and shows wanting them in all
qnantities, aud though we might dis
pose of one or two singly we hare no
pairs to sell.
“ A g '» d buffalo hide is worth $100
now in the market, and heads bring
f om <200 to <500 when mounted, and
the valno of these is steadily increasing,
so that bnffalo breeding is as good an

and cured, or the suffering students

Dr. H. S. Anderson is assisted in his
practical work by Dr. W. G. Anderson,
his brother, and over Dr. Seaver and
both tho Andersons is Professor Eugene
Lamb Richards, the director of the gym
nasium. Though he does none of the
actual gymnasium work, its present per
fection is largely due to his efforts, for
it was Professor Richards who cansed
the raising of <250,000 for the erection
of the gymnasium bnilding, and he is
perhaps the foremost authority on gym
nastics aud athletics in the country. He
is extremely popular with the stndeuts,
who always speak of him as the “ squar-
■st” man in the faculty, and it is to
him tiiat. they turn whenever a decision
not to be appealed from is wanted on
tome disputed point in athletics. Of the
'vnmasinm as an institution it may be
suid that it is the only one attached to
any college in America where the work
is organized on so thorough and scien
tific a basis as that which has been im
perfectly outlined in this article. Of the
gymnasium's home it may be said that
it is a veritable palaoe, erected for the
abode of physical culture.
The visitor who enters this admirably
devised building for the first time can
not bnt be impressed by the simple
splendor of the pure white marble floors
and staircases that must be trod before
the gymnasium proper is reached. A ft
erward this first impression is almost
driven ont of mind by the completeness
of all the appliances. The baths, the
rowing tanks aud the offices are all un
exampled in their way, bnt the main
floor with its apparatus of every con
ceivable sort for physical improvement
has not its match anywhere. It is al
most worth a special trip to New Haven
to see the main floor of Yale's gymna-
death, while Harvard and Cornell, Ann
Arbor aud Princeton, De Panw and
California and all the other universities,
big and little, wonld be killed by inat
tention.
Bpt. in respect of physical training all
who have examined Yale’s plan and
plant and talked w ith the accomplished
men in charge agree that Yale is at the
top. It does not follow if this be true
that Yale students w ill win every trophy
offered at every intercollegiate contest
in athletics, that they w ill row the fast
est at every boat race, that they w ill
make most runs at baseball or pile np
the biggest scores at football. Indeed
they might fall behind in all these
things and the proposition still be true,
for it is not asserted that the system of
physical training at Yale makes sure
game winners, nor was the scheme laid
ont with that for its ouly or chief ob
ject. The physical work of the stndeuts
in Yale's gymnasium is performed for
the sole purpose of giving to the young
men who undertake it the best possible
bodily foundation for the postgraduate
course that all tnnSt take in the hard
school of this world— of fitting them to
endure, of building up nerve and ninscle,
so that they w ill be uot only clever and
cultivated, bnt strong, self reliant and
healthy as well.
In order to produce this result gym
uastic work has been placed upon the
same basis at Yale as any other study.
Do not cavil at this use of the word
study. The proper development of the
body is a most profound aud important
.irmly—oue the more thorough master
ing of which wonld do away with the
necessity for more than half the doctor -
iug that is now needed and reduce the
uumlicr of hospitals at least one-third.
No student is required, however, to take
any part in the gymnasium work. Ev
ery one who does is first carefully exam
ined and measured by J. W. Seaver, M.

It was ouly 50 years ago that the Ro
man Catholic University o f Notre Dame
fa Lao— Onr Lady of tho Lake— was
iblished by the Rev. Edwin S. Sorin
, a 600 acre tract of woodland border-
Dg the St. Joseph river, in the northern
part of Indiana. It was at first bnt a
¡mull and straggling school, bnt now,
at the half century mark, it is oue of
tho most notable institutions of learning
in the United States.
The first move in the direction of
establishing Notre Dame, as by common
consent it is now termed, was made in
1830 by the missionary father, Very
Rev. S. T. Badiu, the first Catholic priest
ordained within the boundaries of the
republic. With s keener insight than
that possessed by many others, he pur
chased the bcantifnl tract mentioned
front the government at <1.25 an acre
with the notion that there a great school
should ultimately lx located. Later Fa
ther Badiu conveyed this tract, which
had come to be known as St. Mary’s of
the Lake, to the bishop of Vincennes.
In 1842 the first steps in the realiza
tion of the educational scheme were
taken, when tho prelate conveyed the
property to Father Sorin, on condition
that a college should be established
there within a certain time. This im-

gymnasium proper. The trophy room is
to many persons the most attractive
apartment in the place. There are flags,
pictures, baseballs and all sorts of evi
dences of athletic victories. The bowl
ing alleys are in the basement, and
there is a big yard to the rear of the
building and shielded from the street
which is used for practice by the shot
putters, the hammer throwers, etc. In
the superb marble lined entrance hall
before noticed a large canvas painted by
a National academician hangs. This is
the only adornment of these walls, and
it was presented to the gymnasium by
Channcey M. Depew.
It is entitled
“ The Old Yale Fence” and is a real
work of art, showing the elm shaded
Yale campus aud buildings and scores of
figures as well as the fence. The figures
are full length portraits in miniature,
and one of these portraits is Dr. Depew

port ant work could uot have beeu placed
in more competent hands. Father Sorin
was a priest of the congregation of the
Holy Cross, a missionary and educa
tional society founded in France late in
the eighteenth century, of which a sta
tion was established in the diocese of
Vincennes in 1840or thereabout. When
Father Sorin and his associates, late in
November, 1842, first looked npon the
site of the future college, a headquarters
for all the missions of what are now
northern Indiana and southern Michigan
had already been established at St.
Mary’s of the Lake.
Bnt despite this preliminary work the
task before them was not an easy one. To
establish an institution of the higher
learning is not a lightsome labor even
now, and then it was vastly more diffi
cult.
The story of the slow upbuilding of
the present splendid university is most
absorbing, but here it can ouly be indi
cated, not told. T lx young college had
no endowment, aside from the fee sim
ple in the beautiful tract upon which it
wa;t situated, and as yet this yielded no
income, so that tiie ouly money received
was the tuition fees of the few students.
The devoted priests and teachers that
made np its faculty were obliged to pnt
up with almost innumerable privations,
and it was not until 1844 that it was
possible to hold regular commencement
exercises. It was in that year that the
name was changed front St. Mary’s of
the Lake to the present title. It was in
that year also the legislature of Indiana
conferred npon it a regular charter as a
university.
Since that year the University of
Notre Dame has progressed steadily. In
1879 it suffered what was at the time
believed to be a most serious reverse,
for, on April 23 of that year, five of the
university’s chief buildings were wiped
ont by fire, aud with them invaluable
libraries and a great collection of scien
tific apparatus and relics. But this fire
did for Notre Dame what the Chicago
fire did for the wonderful city on Lake
Michigan. It marked the beginning of
a more vigorous growth aud a wider de
velopment. It was almost like a new
birth. By the follow ing September, so
rapidly had the recuperative powers of
the institution worked, the magnificent
central bnilding which forms the nu
cleus of the present Notre Dame had
arisen on the April ashes, and the usual
entrance of students took place.
Every year daring the 26 that have
elapsed since theu new buildings have
been pnt up, and when it was decided
to hold a golden jubilee of the institu
tion on June 1 1 and the two days fo l
lowing it was seen that the guests of
the university would be bidden to a
celebration amid a cluster of handsome
and magnificent structures, almost like
a town in extent and far exceeding the
promise given a half century ago by the
few small buildings then standing.
Of the beauties of Notre Dame, both
natural and man made, columns might
be written without exhausting the sub
ject. The university stands on an emi
nonce in the midst of a wide expanse of
landscape, brightened by the silver sheen
of the St. Joseph river and the lake from
which the institution took its first name
and rendered additionally charming by
sylvan stretches alternating with culti
vated fields. The buildings are said tc
be the most valuable owned by any col
lege west of the Appalachian chaiD.
They include, besides the main build
ing, a chapel, which is really a magnif
icent church of bcantifnl architectural
design and rich in treasures of religious
art, .an academy of music, science hall,
institute of technology, etc. The course
of study is very comprehensive, the fac
ulty is made np of exceptionally able
men, aud the scientific apparatus and li
brary of 70,000 volumes are of the best,
i The library is now domiciled in the
main building, but w ill soon have a
home of its own. The university now
has 62 instructors and 625 students.

A fireless locomotive engine was re

on the principle that solutions of caus

liberate heat while absorbing steam.
