IMPROVING ON NATURE.
From Japan Comes a New Method of Max
ing Furs Ready to Wear.

From Japan Comes a New Method OF MAX
ing Furs Ready to Wear.
A japanese gentleman has perfected
a new process for furs, called the fur
transferring process, by which the ordl-
nary skin is entirely removed, the fur
alone remaining, each individual hair
being attached to flexible fabric. The
advantages claimed for this process are
that the furs are much softer and more
pliable than ordinary skins, that they
are entirely free from any unpleasant
odor, and so far from being injured from
being wetted they can be washed in hot
water and dried like blankets. 1t is also
said that the fur will not come out by
use, as the hairs hold much closer than
when implanted in the original skin.
All kinds of fur can be thus transferred
from the skin ON which they grew on to
a close and durable fabric.
The method of this transfer is at first
sight rather difficult to grasp. 1t is OBJ
vious that each individual hair cannot
be transferred singly, but that the whole
must be done at once. The nature of the
process, however, may be very easily
indicated. The original skin, from what
ever animal it may have been obtained,
is placed with the fur downward, in
contact with the an adhesive surface,
to which the hairs become so strongly
attached that the skin may be laid hold
of and absolutely torn or stripped away,
leaving the fur attached to the cement,
and so perfectly is this accomplished that
the skins themselves are capable of be-
ing utilized for leather.
The next step of the process is the
covering of the roots with another adhe-
sive material, by which they are ce-
mented to a close woven fabric. Thus
it will be seen that the external portion
of the fur is tightly held by the first ce-
ment to which it was attached, while
the roots of the hairs are closely cement
ed to the fabric which has been placed
upon them. In the process of manufac-
ture all that is now necessary is to loos
en- the attachment of the hairs to the
cement on which they were first placed,
when the whole of the fur in its original
position is obtained, only cemented to
the flexible fabric i'll lieu of the original
skin.
The result is undoubtedly most sue
cessful. 1t is difficult to imagine soft
er fur than that which is obtained
