The Treatment of Hair or Fur.

Reference has already been made to Il
method of utilizing feathers of barn yard
poultry, wild fowl. etc, in the preparation
Of :, loose fibre to be worked up into Il felt
CLOTH blankets, etc The following dcS-
cribcs a somewhat cognate industry having
reference to Il new mode of treating fur.
This forms the subject of a communication
lay Mr.. Joseph Tu~Saud. who is ut present
one of the propretors of the celebrated
wax-work establishment in Baker street.
London. founded by Madame Tussaud.
The attention of Mr Tu>saud was first
called to the subject by his desire to trans
fer the hairs of fur-bearing or other
animals to wax figures, without including
the skin in which they were inserted.
After numerous experiments he succeeded
in accomplishing this and developing. as
already remarked, Il new industry. The
great object which Mr.. Tus,aud aimed
to secure was the removal of hair or fur
from the skin, and then attaching this to
;,n artificial skin, obtaining thus !. more
perfect degree Of preservation for any
purpose whatever. while retaining the
hairs in their original and natural relation
ship For this purpose the piece OF fur to
be treated may be soaked in lime water or
other suitable liquid, rs practiced by tan
ners, for the purpose of lessening the
adhesion of the hair. 1t is then to be
washed in water, to free it from the super
abundant lime or other substances, and
hung up for Il time to dry off the excess of
moisture 1t IS then laid on board, with
the hair side up, and a solution of glue
applied by means of a brush or othelwlse,
taking care not to disturb the natural
position and relation of the hair The size
or glue is then allowed to harden, when 1t
will hold the tibers very firmly. The
natural skin may then be pulled entirely
off from the hairs, leaving their ends ex
posed which may then be washed by some
substances to free them entirely from ad
hertnt fat. bulbs, etc. and properly
poisoned An artificial skin is next to b'
affixed by applying India rubber, quit;
percha. boiled drying oils. or other water
proof substances, over the roots Of tn
hairs. and allowed to dry. so as to FORM

The Olive Harvest in Italy.

The Use of olive oil in northern climates
is quite limited, and it scarcely enters into
one of the ncce>sarics of life: but IN warmer
climates it is Indispensable. 1t is used i'll
dressing vegetables, cooking where we
should use butter or lard. and even in
pastry The lamps, in olden times, burn
ed with olive oil; the wrestler and athlete
made their limb, supple by lis use. The
Scriptures, to describe Palestine in a
manner that would appeal most highly 70
the children of Israel, termed it 4 land
flowing with oil and honey. The cN-
preston does not convey to our minds Al y
such an dc;, as it did to them. from the
limited use among Us of both articles; but
in that dav. and in that climate, it combined
the promise of what was most tempting
and desirable.
The olive is a brtnchy evergreen, seldom
exceeding thirty feet i'll height, belonging
to the same natural order Il, the ash and
lilac. 1t grows wild in most Of the
countries bordering on the Mediterranean.
