years ago, leaving much valuable prom

The Tallast of All Anim als.

There are a few groups of living large mammals whose existing members appear never to have been surpassed in size by their fossil relatives. Foremost among these are the whales, which now appear to include the largest mem bers of the order which have ever existed. The so called white, or square mouthed, rhinoceros of South Africa seems also to be fully equal in size to any of it's extinct ancestors, and the same is cer- tainly true of the giraffe, which may even exceed all its predecessors in this respect. Whether the fossil giraffes were or were not the equals in height of the
 largest individuals of the living species,
 there is no question but that the latter
 is by far the tallest of all living man.
 mals, and that it was only rivaled in this respect among the extinct forms by it's aforesaid ancestors. Moreover, if we exclude creatures like some of the gigantic dinosaurian reptiles of the sec- ondary epoch. which, so to speak, gained an unfair advantage as regards height by sitting on their hind legs in kan garoolike manner, and limit our com parison to such as walk on all four feet
 in the good old fashioned way, we shall find that giraffes are not only the tallest mammals, but Hkweise the tallest of all animals that have ever existed. Knowledge.

The manufacture of leather is reach ing what must be almost the highest perfection of the art. A new process has recently been patented in France for the production of leather which both to the touch and eye has striking re- semblance to velvet. Leathers of this description hitherto manufactured have been obtained by treatment of the flesh side of the hide or skin. The flesh side of the skin being always coarse, the patentees claim now to secure better results by treating the hair side. They scratch or rub the hair side with rub Der of strong erosive qualities, or with emery or glass, when working small surfaces, and use grindstone for heav- fer work. In this manner downy nap is brought out which they throw and lay in different directions, thereby bringing ous varied designs of changing hue and appearance. The velvety sur face produced is said to be similar to the down of peach skin. The fiber is very fine, soft to the touch and has all the appearance of silk velvet shorn very close.-Shoe and Leather Gazette.

STEELE MACKAYE DEAD.
The Playwright, Actor and Inventor Is Nc
 More.


 DENVER, Feb. e8.-Steele Mackaye died at Timpas, Colo, a small station near the New Mexico fne, aboard a Santa Fe train on his way to San Francisco.
 The actor and playwright arrived in Le Junta over the Santa Fe road in the spe- cial car of George k. Peck, general coun- sel for the Santa Fe company. Mir. Mac kaye was accompanied by his wife, nurse and Dr. H. N. D. Parker. They came west from Chicago. MT. Mackaye was supposed to be suffering from nervous exhaustion, caused by overwork, and was on his way to San Diego, Cal. He was feeling quite badly when he arrived here, and the car was detached and left until 7:20 Sunday morning, when the party started south, AS Mir. Mackaye seemed to be resting easier. He rapidly grew worse and died before the train reached the next station. He was conscious to the last, bade all those around him goodby and said they had done all they could for him.
 Steele Mackaye was born at Fort Porter, now a portion of the city of Buffalo, about 47 years ago. His father was the protector and organizer of several of the great ex- press companies of America At the age of 16 the overexertion of Steele's intellec- tual energy resulted in a general physical collapse, and a trip abroad followed. While slowly convalescing in France he occupied himself with painting ana modelling. At the breaking out of the war of the rebel lion he returned to his native country and enlisted as a common soldier and before the war was over was gazetted major. In 1873. while at ~1rk with George Eliot on a dramatization of "Silas Mariner" he was recalled to America upon important business, where he has lived ever since, .l-l. L.. l. and actor
