TANNING PATENTS KENNEDY'S
PROCESS.

The tanning interests of our country being
SO extensive, every patent issued for shorten,
ing the process OF making leather, as a conse.
quence, attracts great deal of attention an de-
licits number OF enquiries from our readers
The ablest articles on tanning ever published in
our country, appeared in Vol. S, !" Scientific
American ) they were furnished by one of the
most-if not the most-experienced leather
manufactures in the United States, and who
with his practical experience, combines ability
and fine education. We have also published
the specification of" Hibbard's Process" and
that OF" Eaton, both Of which have caused
some excitement among our tanners Having
had a number Of enquiries made about the pro-
cess OF David Kennedy, ot. Rending, Pa which
was patented Nov. 10th, 1852, we present the
following abstract oft nothing being left out
that is Ut the least consequence.
The process consists in using mixture of
catechu, &c with nitrate of poiassa, or other
like nitrates, alum, aud borax, along with wa
ter, TO form tanning liquor. The following
mixture answers very well IL lbs of terra
JaPonica, dissolved in gallons of hot water 1
10. OF nire dissolved in one quart of water; /
10. OF alum dissolved in one quart of water. and
] Id. Of borax dissolved in like quantity of wa
ter. In such proportions, these ingredients
may De stored up in casks for use these mixed
together from the tanning liquor for skins md
hides, which is to be used like any other tan
ning liquor, and the skins worked in any known
way. Some ofthese materials may be replaced
oy others OF strong tanning properties.
Inc claim IS simply for the use of the borax
IN combination with the alum, nitre, and solu-
uons OF tanning. The property claimed for the
borax is that of what is called raising the hides
without injury for safe tanning Borax has in
deed peculiar gu lities, but as ii is sal. with
the aikali preponderating, its quality in tan
ming liquor, we should suppose, was negative
and not positive to the action of the raining in
gredient.-- Scientific inner.
