Fish Skin Clothes.


Until recently few people thought
of utilizing as a substitute the ma
terial to be gained from water ami
mails. The United States Fish Com.
mission has taken up the question.
and already proved that several kinds
of fish have skins that make excel.
lent leather for some purposes.
Salmon hide is found not only SER
viceable for boots, but among the
Esquimaux it has been used for gem
erations in making waterproof
clothes. The people of the very far
north also use Goldfish skins for
jackets. The different skins which
the Fish Commission has found :.
be most practical and durable are
whale skins, porpoise skins, and seal
leather, which dye In most exquisite

tilnted-

The drawback clause Of the tariff
law allows a refund of duties 70 any
body who reexports an imported ar
ticle either in the original or in diff
ferent shape. Thus. il tin plate Is i'm
ported and then exported in the forms
OF cans containing oil. or salmon or
condensed milk. or what not, the
duties on the tin plate will be refund-
Cd provided the exporter identi'ies
the material as the same on which
duty was paid. II is not easy. however
TO identify the material. SO much
trouble and delay are involved in the
process shat in many cases II costs
more than II comes to. So Mr.. Lover

a bin in congress 70 dispense WITH

bin American-made tin plate. when

The New York Post. Is that II merely
covers the difference in wages between
the cost OF the imported and the DO
nestle article II that Is the truth
the domestic producer and the foreign
producer stand on the same footing
in the American market. Why should
the user Of the foreign article have an
advantage in the export trade? That

From q review of certain chronicles
of crime taken from the old Newgats
criminal calendar. IL appears that there
were not more than nine OF ten treae
son cases during the 10th century IN
England and that the most OF those
were confined 10 the first few years
of the century. In one or two OF these
instances. however, a large mum Der OF
criminals were interested, and their
operations had the magnitude that
made them genuinely dangerous con-
spiracies against the English govern
ment.
OF these the Cato street conspiracy
is one of the most notorious. In le20
party of desperadoes planned 10

penalty. 1t is doubtful II any set OF
men ever went to their deaths with
greater and more unnatural hilarity,
with more bowling and smiling to the
crowd and with more jests among
themselves and to the hangman than
they.
II is not difficult to determine at
about what time the English con-
science began to demand less cruelty
than had been practiced in the punish
ment of traitors. At the beginning
Of the nineteenth century, while the
law continued to be carried out in fun
as TO auartering. the last acts in the
tragedy Of an execution were no longer
performed upon the living body, but
more as matter of form, after life
was extinct. The .when you are hall
dead part of the sentence began 10
be left out. This was true at the exc
cution of the band Of conspirators,
headed by Col. Edward Marcus Des-
pard. distinguished ms man OF an
cient and honorable family, which
MANNED in 1908 to kill the king in his
carriage and 10 start an uprising
among the disaffected.
But one has only to turn back into
the preceding century TO find plenty
of accounts which tell of the carrying
on, Of the original sentence in all its
barbarity. Although cases of treason
were numerous in the eighteenth CEN
tury probably the most notorious OF
all was the gunpowder plot with which
GUY Fawkes and numerous compan-
ions were connected. This was no less
than a wei, planned attempt to blow
up the king and parliament and all
the assemblage present at the opening
session of England's great legislative
body. The cellar underneath the
parliament was filed with barrels OF
runpowder. which were only discov-
cred IL hours before the torch was TO
have been applied.
A pamphleteer of that time after
giving a somewhat too detailed de-
.cription OF the execution of these
conspirators ends that part OF his mar
rative with n word about Guy Fawkes,

says. ..made his end on the gallows and
