Nothing Like Leather.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 4-From the
State University at Berkely comes a re-
port of a discovery made by one of the
professors Of the Institution which, if
true, will result in rsvolutionizing the
leather industry. The claim is made that
experiments have determined that certain
combinations of fat and oils with sulphur
compounds when used for tanning have
the effect Of rendering leather impervious
to water and so pliable as to render it al
most indestructible. The assertion is made
that boots and shoes manufactured Of
leather thus prepared will last five times
