FISH SKIN LEATHER.
Many Articles Made Out of Hitherto
Unused Product.

Many Articles Made Out of Hitherto
Unused Product.
The United States fish commission has
been making q collection of feathers
made from the skins of fish and other
aquatic animals, especially of those
which promise to be Of practical utility
Several varieties of fishes have skins
that make an excellent leather for some
purposes. Salmon hide, for example,
serves so well in this way that the Els
quimaus of Alaska make waterproof
shirts and boots out of it. They also
cut Jackets out of Goldfish skins, which
are said to be very serviceable gar
ments. In the United States frog skins
are coming into use for the mounting
OF books, where an exceptionally deli
cate material for fine binding Is requir-
ed. There are certain tribes of savages
who make breastplates out of garfish
skins, which will turn a knife or spear.
A bullet will pierce this breastplate.
but 1t is said to be impossible to chor
through the material with a Ratchet at
one blow. Together with such a breast
plate, these savages wear a helmet Of
the skin of the porcuplne fish, which is
covered with formidable spines. Fas-
tened upon the hand, thil1 helmet serves
not only as a protection but in close
encounters 1t is used to butt with.
The Gloucester Isinglass and Glue
company recently manufactured some
sqes of the skins Of the Goldfish and
cusk, On the lower Yukon, in Alaska,
overalls of tanned fish skins are COM
monty worn by the natives. Whip han
dies are made of shark skins, and in
strument cases are commonly covered
with the same material, 1t being known
under the name of shagreen. Whale
skins are said to make admirable leath-
er for some purposes, while porpoise
leather is considered a very superior
material for razor strops. Seal leather
dyed in number of different colors Is
included in the collection of the fish
commission. This leather is obtaiDed
from the hair seal and not from the fur
bearing species and Is used to consid-
cradle extent In the manufacture Of
pocketbooks. The hair seals are still
very plentiful In the North Atlantic
ocean, and as It Is not difficult to kill
them they afford a very promising
source of leather supply. Walrus leath-
err has come into the market recently.
but as the animals are being extermin-
ated rapidly it will hardly amount to
much commercially. Another kind of
leather now seen on sale is that of the
sea elephant. Up to within a few years
a species of sea elephant was found on
the Pacific coast, ranging as far north.
as Lower California, but the animals
have been so nearly exterminated that
they are now rarely seen. Another spe-
cies is to be found in the Antartic seas.

a shocking tragedy in Pekin not hereto

Chinese officials of Pekin, engaged in
the government service, united in pc

the Chinese report, Prince Tuan or
dered that those who had united in the
petition be killed. and the order was

Goodnow cables to the state department
from Shanghai, under to-day's date,
that there is nothing more to report
since his cable dispatch of the 18th in
slant That dispatch reported the at
tack on the legations at Pekin at about
to begin. Mr.. Goodnows statement is
a direct contradiction of the Shanghai
story that all foreign consuls We're in
formed Saturday by Sheng that the le-
cations had fallen and the ministers
were killed.
At the conclusion of the cabinet
council it was stated that no line of
action had been determined upon; that
the meeting was not called to formulate
any plan, but simply to talk over the
situation 1t is thought that a commu-
uioation was drafted for transmission
to the president at Canton After the
meeting Secretary Root Immediately
went into consultation with Adjutant
General Corbin. He refused to discuss
the situation.
While Consul General Goodnow's dis
match inferentially contradicts the re-
mort that Sheng informed the Shanghai
consuls collectively on Saturday of the
massacres at Pel1in, it does not contra
dict the dispatch printed by the Lon
don telegraph this morning which was

The Outlook for 1000.

From the literary point of view, the lead
ing feature of the January magazine num-
Der of The Outlook is the first installment
of Mr.. Hamilton W. Mabie's William
Shakspere: Poet, Dramatist, and Man"
In this series of articles, which will extend
throughout the year in the monthly maya
zine numbers, Mr.. Mabie will offer, not a
formal biography, but an attempt to realize
the poet and dramatist as a great English
man, to approach him through the atmos-
phere of his own age, to set him distinctly
in his own time, to bring about him his
brilliant contemporaries, and to exhibit him
as a typical man in great epoch. The
first installment deals with "The Fore
runners of Shakspere," and is illustrated
with portraits, curious representations of
the ancient street pageants, miracle plays,
and dumb shows.
The Outlook will begin at once the pub
LEGATION of series of addresses recently
delivered at Cooper Institute, New York,
by the Rev. Lyman Abbott, under the gen.
eral title, "Christ's Laws of Life" Later
on DR.. Abbott will contribute seven anti
cles on "The Bible in the Light of Modern
Literary Study" During 1900 DIR. Abbott
sermons and addresses will be published
exclusively in The Outlook.
There is no other medium through
which we may so surely keep in intelligent
touch with all the leading affairs of the
day as through the weekly editorial review
OF The Outlook. ($3 year. The Out
look Company, New York;
