New York Ledger: All medical au-
thorities agree as TO the importance OF
keeping the feet dry. But aside from
the use OF rubber and such materials,
nothing has heretofore been invented
that would fully answer this demand.
A new process OF tanning, however,
gives assurance that this much desired
article has a. last been made possioll-
ty. Raw hides are saturated with
weak solution OF bi-chromate OF potash
containing sufficient hYrdro-chloric
acid to-free the chronic acid. Inc
skins remain in this preparation until
thew are Of bright yellow color
all through. The moisture is then
messed or drained from them,
when they are Immediately put
into a hyposulphite Of soda bath, con-
tanning q little acid, put in to change
the compound TO green chrome oGlde.
The oxidation OF the sulphurous acld
creates sulphuric acid, resulting In
complete reduction OF chronic acid. AT
this stage the leather must &c dyed any
desired color, as in lis present condltIon
il is of a dull green-bIue tint AI'er
the dyelug and drying IL is extremely
tough and flexible and absolutely water
and damp-proof, so much so that 1t will
take on no permanent color, as the sur
face is thoroughly non-aosorbent. The
urocess is said TO be very readily learned
and easily understood. While 1t sounds
duplicated aad suggests great deal OF
knowledge of chemistry, itrs as easily
managed as the old, method OF tan bark
and is, besides, disinfecting process as
well as a destroyer of any disease germs
that might by accident be lodged In the
skins to be hand led.

Hervey's proud pets have bit the dust
at last.
Listen to the tale Of woe.
The games were played at Seioerts,
the home alleys Of the Columbus, and
both clubs had good teams. The games
were not lost by poor bowling on the
part OF the Brownies, but rather by the
remarkably good work Of their oppo-
nents. In the first game the Column bias
averaged nearly $50 pins, three players
going above the average. Heryey and
Robinson did exc ellent playing for the
