DEMAND FOR AFRICAN HIDES.
The Skins of Many Rare Anfmals
Are Used for Various Pur-
poses.

In Mashonaland and Central Africa
the trade in skins still fourishes.
though only the poorest of the Beers
follow it, and they have to trek north
of the Limpopo. The hides of the
larger bucks, such as the sable ante
lope, the road antelope, the harte-
beest or any of the zebras, are worth
eight or nine shillings each, and there
is now something to be made by sell
ing heads and horns as curiosities.
Leather made from the skins of these
big antelopes is still in common use
in high-class bootmaking. No one
knows exactly what animal may not
have supplied the uppers or soles of
range from the porpoise and the arctic
hair seal to the blesbok and the koo-
doc. Three other African animals
skins are in commercial demand for
curiously different purposes.
The giraffes. as everyone knows, are
killed so that their skins may be made
into sandals for natives and sjambak
whips for colonists. In the Soudan
they are also killed for the sake of
their hides, which are made into
shields. Many of the dervish shields
captured during their attempt to in
wade Egypt under the Emir Njumi
were made of this material. The ele-
plant and rhinoceros skins go to
Sheffield. There they are used to face
the wheels used in polishing steel
cutlery. No other material is equally
satisfactory and it would be most diff
ficult to find substitute.
The rhinoceros skin used was for
merly that of the white rhinoceros
Now that this species is extinct the
black rhinoceros of Central Africa is
killed for the purpose. Much of this
immensely thick skin. which is not
tanned but used in the raw state, never
leaves Africa. 1t is in great demand
for making the round shields used by
the Arabs and Abyssinians. A black
rhinoceros' hide yields eight large
squares, each of which will make a
round shield two feet IL diameter. and
each of these squares, even in the Sou
Ian, is worth two dollars. The skin
when scraped and polished is semi
transparent, like hard gelatin, and
takes a high polish. Giraffe skin is
even more valued as material for
shields, as it is equally hard and light
er. Thus, while the South African.
CRATES are killed of TO supply whips.
