SIX Thousand skins Made Into shoes In
America Zach Week.


America Zach Week.
Providence Journal
six thousand kangaroo skins are re-
ceived in Newark. n. j., every week, are
al tanned IN one large establishment there
snd are then made into fine shoes. Aus
srHlia and New Zealand furnish kangaroo
hides for the world. The kangaroos are
killed In Australia about 800 miles back
from the coast. and are shipped from Mel
bourne, sydney and Newcastle, in Austria
lin, and from Masterton. in New Zealand.
Up 10 1859 the kaiigareos we're killed
and eaten In Australia, and their
hides were Gus into shOestrings But an
Englishman named Brown In that year dis
covered the remarkable character Of the
leather and brought several thousand skins
10 this country. He tried to sell the hides
to tanners, but they were shy Of the nov
city, ana he had 70 sell them at a sacrifice
to bookbinder The bookbinaer made tri-
angular corner pieces in ledgers and COM
nercial books out ef the skins. and so
aseeltained the good quality Of the leather.
ltwas IN this way that the large leather
factories were first attracted 70 kangaroo
hide. The skin was found 10 be very tena-
cious and the eompaetness OF the grain
prevents It's absorbing water. while the
acids in blacking meet with az almost inn
pefvious substance. Ii was hard work for
years 20 get the kangaroo skins. 1t was not
until the Newarker who now sans them
sent agents TO Australia three years ago
that the demand could be supplied.
The characteristic climate OF Australia
and the pugnacity Of the kangaroo make
hunting the hides dangerous. Eight men
hunt together for kangaroos They are
called "set." As the game Is bagged it

ground and pegged down 10 prevent shrink

one great resource which Is wanting TO the
other-ne can always cut the knot Of his

Is born proprietor. and cannot escape the

enough rent TO meet the dues. He may
leave his village, If he will, but his village
liabilities travel with him wherever he may
settle. He cannot obtain work anywhere
In Russia without showing his pass from
his own commune; and since. under the
principle OF joint liability that rules the
communistic system, the members of the
commune who remain at home would have
to pay tae emigrant's arrears If he failed to
pay them himself, they are not likely
70 renew the pass to defaulter. The
Russian peasants are thus nearly as adj
stricti giebse as they ever were: they are
now under the power Of the commune as
completely as they were before under the
power of their masters. and their difficulty
is still how they can possibly obtain emar-
cipation. Sometimes they viii defy the
