as many hills as Rome is said to do, and

said he really felt as if he knew the
actress, as he had called on her one
afternoon in Philadelphia last season
when she was not in. He talked about
everything under the sun but hosiery

MAKING PATENT LEATHER.
1t Can Not BE Guaranteed, Although the
Process Is Difficult.

1t Can Not BE Guaranteed, Although tho
Process Is Difficult.
Japanned leather, generally called
patent leather, was first made IN
America. A smooth, glazed surface is
first given to calf-skin in France. The
leather is curried expressly for this
purpose, and particular care is taken
to keep it as free as possible from
grease; the skins are them tackled on
frames and coated with composition
of linseed oil and umber-in the pro-
portion of eighteen gallons of oil to
five of umber-boiled until nearly
solid, and then mixed with spirits OF
turpentine to it's proper consistency.
Lampblack is also added when the
composition is applied in order to give
color and body. From three to four
coats of this are necessary to form q
substance to receive the varnish. They
are laid on with knife or scraper. To
render the goods soft and plant each
coat must be very light and thoroughly
dried after each application. @
A thin coat is afterward applied OF
the same composition, of proper con-
sistency, to be put on with a brush, and
with sufficient lampblack boiled in it
to make perfect black. When thor
oughly dry it is cut down with scrap
er having turned edges. 1t is then
ready to varnish. The principal var.
| nish used is made of linseed oil and
| Russian blue, boiled to the thickness
of printers ink. 1t is reduced with
spirits of turpentine to suitable con-
sistency to work with brush, and
then applied in two or three separate
coats, which are scraped and pumiced
until the leather is perfectly filed and
| smooth. ssf4sas
The finishing coat is put on with
special care in room kept closed and
with the floor wet TO prevent dust
| The frames are then run into an oven
| heated to about one hundred and sew
enty-five degrees. In preparing this
kind of leather the manufacturer must
give the skin as high heat as it can
bear in ordar to dry the composition
on the s,7rface as rapidly as possible
without absorption, and cautiously,
SO as not to injure the fiber OF the
leather. 1t is well nigh impossible to
guarantee the permaneney of patent
leather, no matter how expensive or
how careful be the preparation, for it
has sad trick of cracking without any
justifabie provocation.-N. Y. Adyer-
tiser
