Among the new things of the age is
the manufacture of shoes by cement
ing together the pieces of leather Of
which they are composed. A shoe is
thus made without peg and cannot
be torn apart in the seams, because
the leather will tear first. A large
company has been started for this man
ufacture at Ballard Vale, their process
being to cement the shoes on the COM
mon wooden lasts, and then dry them
in ovens. But we understand an i'm
proved process has been invented, by
which pair of shoes can be completed
in five minutes. The pieces are &C.
mented on hollow metallic last, into
which steam is introduced by turning
a cock, and its heat sets the cement
almost instantaneously.
