No other industry has shown ‘greater strides of growth during the past fifty years than that of leather making. The demands of the individual for leather pro- ducts not only have muitiplied many fold, but the iist of leather users-is being ex- tended with each passing year. Leather follows civilization, and hundreds of thou- of barbarians are belng converted The redult is & scar- They to its use each year clty of leather-producing animale. | have not multiplied as rapidly as the de- hides, and the tanner is forced to ransack the world for animals that hitherto were exempt. Not evén the of the seu nor the serpents of the mand for their The snake skin hunter exerclses much ingenuity., He takes a forked stick and pinfons the snake's head to the ground. Then he puts a pinch of snuff into the reptile’s mouth, and the nicotine produces instant death by paralysis, thus saving the skin intact. The invention of the chrome process of leather making will ba the means of saving millions of trees to the forests. Instead of vegotable tanning extracts, a mineral sub- stance 1s used. It effectually tans the hides and In addition renders the leather porous enough for the admission of alr, but tight enough for tha exclusion of water. Who does not remember the days Mr. W.

Any violation -of these condi- tions will be considered an infringement of letters patent of the United States, No. | 73,602, and will rendar, the vendor liable to sult for damages accordingly.’ This inséription oni' & dard of hooks shows that not only: in the hook with the “hump” patented, but also that the price of 10 cents Js patented. Joseph Hayden, head of Hayden Bros., proposes to try out tne matter and see If he cannot sell hooks and eyes and thou- sands of other such articles at the price he chooses: He s now advertising that he will sell the hooks and"eyes for 5 cents, cutting the patented price in haif. Mr. Hayden says he is not going Into the matter ‘blindly, as he ‘knows the effort which will be made;to keep him from se- curing any more “‘trust made'’ goods. Some time ago the patent ran out on the “hump” hook and the manufacturers made another bend In. its construction by which they were' able to extend the patent seventeen years, Hayden Brosi.have beéen mude ‘de- fendints \sbveral tinies In ‘the ‘courts for breaking these ‘prices, once belng sued in tho federal court for sélling a well known patent paint for ‘less than the price fixed by the jobber and manufacturer.

FILE FOR NEW COMPANIES Articles of Incorporation Made Out for Comcerns Whose Capital is Al Paid Up at Start. Three new companies have filed articles of incorporation in the office of the county clerk, the noteworthy feature of the in- corporating belng that all three provide that the capital stock shall be fully paid up before belng Issued. The Gate City Construction company Is incorporated by Hiland B. Noyes, Arthur M Cain and Fred Peterson for $50,000. It will do a general contracting and construc- tion business.

The automobile Industry arfords one il- lustration, of the increasing demand for leather and its products. Ten years ago there tvere about 2,000 automobiles. in use in the United States; now there are nearly 200,000, ' Each of these machines has re- quired leather in its construction, and re- quires even more in the accessories. The sartorial art journals declare that auto- mobiling has brought into vogue the leather vest, which s going to be the fashion during the coming sedson. Tho United States leads world in the pro- duction of leather, its 600 tannerles pro- ducing one-fourth of the world's supply. Every year nearly 200,000,000 hides and skins pass through these 600 tanneries, and when finished into leather they are worth $250,000,000. It requires 1,250,000 cords of tan bark and 50,00 barrels of extract to meet the demands of the American tanner in the conversion of these hides and skins into leather. Two-thirds of the tanbark used is from the hemlock tree, which shows that the forests are levied upon heavily. The quebracho tree ylelds a valuable tan- ning extract, and the American tanner al- ready is established in the South American woods gathering this staple. Philadelphia is the hub of the leather world. The goat skins used there euch year would suffice to cover a procession of goats reaching from the most northerly point of Alaska to the most southerly point of Patagonia. Other kinds of hides and skins may become scarce or rare, but the goat is always ready with a supply equal to the demand. The kid shoes men wear are usually made from goat skins. A gentleman in Philadelphia owns a saddle that was made from the skin of a human being. It is presumed that he got this skin from some medical school. He employed one of the best saddiers in Philadelphia. to do the work. When the job was nearing completion the saddle maker asked what kind of leather it was— it has such a fine graln and such a smooth ‘feel.” When he learned that it was human skin he threw up the job. Later another man was employad to finish the saddle, but the employer was careful not to let him know what it was made of. Many medical students have Jitle trinkets of leathier made from human skin, but this Philadelphia saddle is sald to be the only one of its kind in the world. Newark, N. J., stands at the forefront as an alligator leather center. = Over 20,000 alligators annually surrender their lives to the needs of the Newark tapnerles and factorles. The saurians have a fashion of sleeping with thelr heads glightly above the water,and In the darkness of a moon- | less night their eyes form phosphorescent lights which afford a splendid target for the hunter. At cone time only the belly the alligator skin could be used. But the tanner has learned how to get the hard scales off the back, with the result that the moat valuable part of the tanned skin is that which formerly was rejected. The most costly leather in the world is known to the trade as plano leather. The 0ld and the new world must unite in its making. A family of German tanners sold the secret of its preparation, and it can be made only from the skin of the Ameri- can grey deer found In the vicinity of the great lakes. The tanners have an agency at Detrolt where the skins are purchased from the Indians and halfbreeds. The leather s used exclusively for covering plano keys. . An eastern shoe house has put out a line of ladles’ opera shoes which are to retall at $50 per pair. Not all of the Intrinsic value of these shoes comes from the leather that is in them, nor from the workmanship. The gold and pearl trimmings and jet beads are what bring the cost up so high. One shoemaker has turned out a pair of shoes costing $2,000, but their principal value lies in the dlamonds with which the vamps and heels are studded. In certain kinds of shoes the leather is made rough by being ground on rapidly revolving emery wheels. The grinders have to wear silk masks or wetted sponges over thelr faces to keep the dust from their lungs. It Is expected that bronze shoe leather will be Mr. J. W.

Speclal methods of tanning are required in making some of the big driving belts used In factorles. What is believed to bc the biggest belt ever made was turned out recently by a New York firm for a lumbe mill_in Louisiana. Five hundred and for(; speclally selected Texas steer hides were used in making this belt. It is 240 feet long, six feet wide and cost $5,800, The leathers which are used for ladles' gloves, and also for men's finer gloves are not tanned, but tawed, and millions of eggs are used in this proce: The finest glove leather comes from France. The ad- vent of the coal tar dyes in the coloring of leathers has proved to be harmful to the leather. It is not as noticeable in glove leathers, however, as in book leathers. Bindings are supposed to last through years and years. But the aniline dye has proved so deleterious to the last- ‘ing qualities. of leather that the English Library assoclation has made a careful examination of the subject. It declares that after all there is no tanning for book leathers like that in which sumac Is used in connection with vegetable dyes. A writer for the Smithsonian institution beautifully expresses the Intimate rela- tionship of leather to the race by tracing the activities of the savage woman after her feet. “‘She strikes off a sharp flint flake for a knife and becomes the first cutler, the real founder of Sheffield. With this knife she removes the skin, little dreaming that she is to become the patron saint of all the hutchers that shall come after her. She rolls up the hide, then dresses It with the brains of the animal, smokes It, curries it, breaks it with instru- ments of stone and bone, and establishes her reputation as the first tanner and currier. With fingers weary and ‘worn, with needle of bone and thread of sinew, and scissors of flint she fashions the clothes of her family, and though there Is no sign over the door, she becomes the first tallor and dressmaker. She fashions ihe moccasins of her lord and is the world's first shoemaker.” .‘ FREDERIO J. MASKIN, Tomorrow—The Cost of Living. Paxton’s Estate' Goes to Wife and Daughter Secretary of Late W.
