A discovery has bcen made at the
California State University that in
spite OF tho attempts to keep it out
of discussion SO rs to make it posi-
bic to obtain patents, that is of so
much moment and of such vast i'm
portance that the first suggestion OF
it, says the S. f. Report, has alarmed
the leather trade and the boot aud
shoe manufacturers.
Three years ago some experiments
in the chemical department of the
University developed that certain
combinations OF fats aud oils, with
certain sulphur compounds, the ma
ture of which could not be definitely
learned, had the effect upon leather
of rendering it waterproof and so pill
able as To be almost indestructible.
and incredible to the Investigators
that they hesitated to believe it,,
much less mention it, till sufficient
time had elapsed to demonstrate the
permanency and durability of the
new product. Nothing was said of
it and the severest tests were applied.
Boots aud shoes were made and worn
and subjected to the severest use.
Bags were made of the leather and
filed with water and all were sub
jected to the most de sastating rava-
ges of wear and tear, sun and water.
There was not a single instance in
which the new product did not snow
the most astonishing results. AL
though several years have elapsed
the leather bags are as permanent
and tight to-day as the day they were
made, and astonishing as the state
ment may be, while the boots wore
from three to four times as long as
ordinary leather, there are many that
are still intact and being worn. Ar
ter three years of the most crucial
tests, in which wear and tear, heat,
water and all manner Of destructible
agents played an important part as
startling as the disclosures were,
their truth was established and the
new discovery stood forth an incon-
trovertble fact, and SO many persons
having necessarily been taken into
confidence in the matter it finally
leaked out

HOW DICE axe MaDE.

In dingy little shop on one of the
upper floors Of an old building in Ann
street, New York, an old Frenchman
works day after day making dice. He
uses old ivory cane heads, umbrella
handles. damaged billiard balls, and
Job lots Of ivory that he buys for song.
lie uses fine saw which is operated by
treadle, a turning lathe, buffing or
polishing machine, and number of
sharp chisels and drills. The French
man has been turner and carver Of
ivory all his lite. He cuts out the little
squares OF ivory deity and accurately.
! Then placing the cube in the lathe. he
bores the requisite number of holes md
inserts small ebony plugs in them to
make the black spots. The surface is
ground smooth, and is then polished
with punice stone. Several sizes Of
dice are made, but the smaller ones are
most in demand. Sporting men prefer
handmade dice to those made by ma
chinery. They are more perfect in shane
and are evenly balanced. The machine
made variety are often imperfect, and
have tendency to throw one side nm
STEINER than the other sides. It is an
easy matter to bore into one of these
spots and put in plug of lead, CAUSING
the opposite number to appear nearly
every time.

its own story plainly. He went over in
his mind the words he had uttered re-

day knew by his death-white face and
burning eyes that he had passed
through some terrible trouble.
When night came, and he was at lib
erty, lie returned to his room, wrote and
sent off the following letter:

your answer to my passionate appeal foi

perfect in form and feature. and everNattrj-
butte of the npblest, should sink so low.
BLAIR DUNBAR"
Next morning dainty missive was
put into his hand.
"Oh. Blair! Blair! Forgive my wicked
wicked cruelty! loved you all the time.
Even in those old days when your idle words
piqued me into abandoning my imaginary
bodily woes, and making me what God de-
signed me to be-a useful member Of society.

Did Blair Dunbar's heart leap for JOY
when he read her impassioned appeal !?
No. As he read, an expression of
whitening scorn and contempt settled
upon his fine face.
This was the woman he had wor-
SHIPPED. as only lower than the angels.
He bad read of such, but never before
came in contact with her like. Bitter
anger filled his heart, whence all love
had fed forever.
He sent her few scathing words in
reply, which taught her what manner
Of man she had to deal with, and made
her love him more fondly than ever
So a woman's folly wrecked two more
lives.
They live in the same city, and meet
each other frequently in society. He
treats her courteously, and is sometimes
touched by the patient sadness which
has become habitual to her beautiful
face. He knows she loves him, and is
suffering, but the knowledge does not
stir one heart-throb.
Dead Goals may be rekindled, but the
ashes of dead love-never!

HABITS OF rHE BLACK SNAKE.

Black snakes always feed on live prey
and possess a power over their prey that
is truly wonderful. and I think that
birds, old and young, are their main de-
pendance for food-old birds are cap
tured by them with ease. captured a
snake nearly five feet long, that had a
full-fedged song sparrow in its body
about six inches from its head. They
feed on any kind of live prey within
their capacity, and have been caught
with a young rabbit in thea body. They
also are successful hunters of birds
nests for the young, and will climb trees
in their search.
l was once near an orchard when
heard robins making a great outcry,
evidently disturbed by something. I
went to see the cause and discovered a
large black snake at their nest in an
apple tree about Is feet from the ground
The tree was about one foot in diameter
and seven or eight feet up to the
branches. The branch on which the
nest was stood off at ali angle of about
As degrees. When the snake saw me-
he glided down on the top-side of the
branch, and when he reached the trunk
lie slid off and dropped to the ground.
In his mouth was young bird partly
swallowed, which proved such clog to
him that he could not run rapidly in the
grass and l captured him.
Many stories are told OF their chasing
people. l have seen persons who claim
to have been chased by them, and some
times it was by racer, black snake
with white rug around it's
neck. L never saw snake of
that description, and I know of no
authority claiming the existence of
such snake A black snake five or six
feet long can outrun man. The speed
l have repeatedly witnessed, when they
have escaped from me. Now, if they
chase people, why do they not catch
them? and if they should catch person,
what could they do with them? Ger
tainlsy they could not use them for food.
1t is singular that so many persons have
been chased by them and yet no instance
has been reported where they have been
caught.
The racer, described as black snake
with white ring around it's neck. exists
only in the imagination OF frightened
people. 1t has no place in natural
history, and yet have known several
persons who claim to have been chased
by them, and were just as sure OF the
white ring as they We're Of being chased.
