Stop the

CLOTHES MADE OF FISH SKINS.
An Exhibit Showing What Siberian
Women Do.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Several garments made entirely of fish
skins, and made to be worn, too, were re-
Gently put on exhibition in the Museum Of
Natural History in New York in a remark
able collection of curios gathered in east
ern Siberia by Prof. Berthold Laufer OF the
Jesup North Pacific expedition. These
fishskin clothes are the work of the women
Of the remote Gilyak and Gold tribes of the
river Amur, and very odd garments they
are.
The tribes live entirely fishing and hunt
Ing. Salmon, which ascend the river to
spawn, are their staple food and the sal.
mon skins, after being treated by the wo.
men, who are adopts, provide material for
their clothes.
First the scales are removed so carefully
that the skin is not broken. Then the skin
is tanned and dressed to make IL durable
and finally the women sew 1t into gar
ments.
Salmon skin, when made into clothes by
the Amur Indians, is like kid in appearance
and softness. but it is tougher than kid. In
fact; almost as tough as parchment. 1t is
dyed yellow and red and indigo and some
of the garments into which it is made are
highly ornate. Curiously enough, most Of
the ornamentation is on the backs
The garments are sewn together with fine
thread, also made of fish skin. Still an
other use to which fish skin is put is to
decorate the boots of both men and wo-
men, sections of highly colored skin being
boots are made.
One Of the fish-skin garments in the col
lection is warm weather garment for it
is unlined. If 1t had been made in Paris
1t would be called pelisse. Its front over
laps and ii seems to have reached the an
kles of the wearer.
In color it is a deep manila yellow and
1t is highly ornamented The outer edges
are bordered with fsh-sk,n band of dark
indigo blue, and heading this is q narrow
strip of red. Up the side seams blue panels
are appliQued in a graceful arabesQue de-
sign.
The edges Of the arabesques are fastened
to the body with as minute stitches as II
sewed by a machine. Bands OF simpler de-
sign ornament the tops of the sleeves, and
there are blue cuffs decorative in outline.

HEAVY EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS.
Experienced Over Large Section Of the Ne.
vada Desert.

Salt Lake City, July ga section
rs miles wide, through the Nevada
Desert from Deeth as far west as Car
lin experienced a series Of heavy
earthquake shocks about 2:30 this af-
ternoon. The vibrations generally
were from North to South.
and at one or two points lasted for
fully five seconds. So far as learned
no serious damage was done though
the force of the shock was great
enough to shake dishes from the
shelves. The extent Of the earth
quake north and south is not known.
At Elko, New, the shock was unusu-
ally severe. The high school build
ing, new brick edifice, was badly
cracked by the violence Of the vibra-
tion, and other buildings were slight
ly damaged. The earthquake was pre-
ceded and followed by rather remark
able meteorological phenomena. For
some time preceding the shock the air
was perfectly still. while the heat was
extremely oppressive. A few minutes
after the shock, however, violent
wind and rain storm, accompanied by
heavy thunder and lightning, burst
over the city, the rain continuing for
several hours.
At Deeth. New, goods were shaken
from the shelves in the stores. The
shock was not felt so miles north of
Elko.
