DISCOVERY IN rHH MANUFACTURES OF LEATHER R--The Ohio
Farmer mentions an important discovery in the manu-.
actre of leather by which the process of tanning is
formed in az many daysas it formerly required months
Leather, IL is known is formed by the union Of gaa
OF which the skin is chiefly composed, and tannin sub
stance found in the bark of the oak hemlock and birch
and in few shrubs like the sunac, &C. For tanning
purposes immense breahs Of forest have already been
destroyed and the supply Of tannn steadily decroases
while the demand for leather increases. Many mineral
and vegetable substances have been tried substitutes
but without success and tanners obliged 10 Inn
port hemlock from great distance and at constantly
increasing cost.
1t has recently been discovered says the Farmer tbat
have growing spontaneously in great abundance ALI
the country in every State and Territory in the
Union and we believe all Europe too hitherto
almost worthless and very troublesome plant but which
contains an abundance Of tannn We are not infrmed
what the plant is, but the discoverer Mr. Johnson Is
su 10 nave asccraincd its properties after many years
OF Careful Study and experiment BY the process he
'ans call skin In twoand-ahalf days which formerly
required from SIX to twelve months The invention has
ocen secured to the discoverer by OF the
oncd States and measures taking to secure the san
in Europe.
