Uses of Old shoes.

An American who has been travelling
in Europe thus describes the industrial
uses of old boots and shoes which are
pits: After being collected they are
ripped open, and the leather is subjected
to treatment which renders it pliable
mass, from which a kind of artistic
leather is derived. This in appearance
resembles the best leather of Cordova.
In the United States patterns are stamped
on this, while in France il is used to
cover trunks and boxes. The old boots
and shoes are also treated in another
way by which they are converted into
new ones. The prisoners in Cen
trail France are employed i'm this
way, the old shoes coming chiefly from
Spain. They are taken to pieces as be-
fore, the nails being all removed, and the
leather is soaked in order to soften it.
The uppers for children's shoes are then
cut from il. The soles are also used, for
from the smaller pieces of the leather of
the old solos. the SO called Louis XIV
heels for ladies' shoes are made from the
larger and thinner pieces. The old nails
are also put to use, for by means of mag
nets the iron nails and the lacks and
brads are separated and sold The con-
tractors Of the military prisons at Mont
pelier say that these nails alone nav for
the old shoes. Nothing now remains but
the scraps. and these have also their
value. for they are much sought after by
certain specialists for agricultural pur-
poses.-New York Mail and Express.
