chariots with carved leather. The chal- Middle Ages the Spaniards learned the art. Their teachers, no doubt. were those Saracens that have contributed so civilization. From Spain the craft of leather carving passed naturally into Mexico whose expatriated sons. in turn, made carved leather attractive to Amer ican tourists throughout Southern Calt- fornia
 The process of leather carving is thus described:
 After the design has been outlined with a sharp knife the incised lines are open ed out with an iron tool. so that through" out all the subsequent manipulation the original plan may stand clearly forth The leather is soaked until 1t Is pliable, and then the parts of the design not meant to be in relief are beaten down with the punch or modelling iron. As this is done on a hard surface the leather forced out beneath the punch rises to increase the relief. After the work is modelled the artist goes over it with his knife and adds sharp draw ing lines.
 The leather used by the local carvers is made in California of q peculiar color and texture that 1t may present no grain to the carving tools and that it may become richer in tint as it grows older, Soon after the carved leather has been finished and oiled 1t begins to look like carved mahogany. Such leather. being proof against dry rot, Is more durable even than morocco.

CARVED LEATHER
Handsome Specimens of Antique Art

 A new industry in St. Paul, new art. a veritable handicraft, with all the as- pirations and distinction that the term implies just now, is leather carving. This Is by no means leather stamping. Everywhere during many years leather has been stamped. But the carving of leather, although 1t produces effects re- sembling the stamping of the same ma terial, bears somewhat the relation to the more common process that the cast ing of plaster of paris bears to the chis- cling of marble.
 What merit is in antiquity attaches also to leather carving. The Egyptians strap ned in mummies with carved leather bands: covered harps, lined chairs and
