ABOUT PATENT LEATHER.
Many of the Processes OF Its Manufac-
turc Are Guarded Vcry Care
fully from the Public.

Patent leather has become a feature
in the leather world, and its making has
assumed considerable proportions here
sbouts. Peabody is probably the largest
patent leather manufacturing place in
the country, though Newark, N. j., and
vicinity probably make more real and
imitation patent leather.
All manufacturers have their own tan
ming processes much Ike those Of the
calfsldn tanner, though some patent
leather is given bark tanning Horse
hide and colt skins are the chief feathers
made up with a patent finish, and the
process of producing the glossy surface
is most interesting.
The patent or enamel finish is really
painted and baked on, as the bicycle
manufacturer paints and bakes enamel
onto n frame Tanners are very particu-
lar about keeping their processes a Sc
cret, and nobody but workmen are ever
allowed into the finishing rooms. Paint
ers are especially kept far from the
work rooms. II is said that the work
men have to drink mach beer on ac-
count Of the chemicals with which they
work, and the heat of the baking ovens.
The hide or skin having been
stretched and dried as much as pos
sible, Is first given a coating of a mix
ture Of linseed oil, litharge, white lead
or similar materials boiled together un-
til they make pasty mixture. This
is daubed on the surface with a steel
tool, and well rubbed in so that the
pores Of the leather will he filed up.
Then the leather is put into the oven,
its surface being exposed TO steam pipes
at a temperature of about 100 degrees.
It takes about half day for this finish
to set.
Next the surface Is rubbed down with
pumioe stone, and then It is covered with
linsecd oil and ivory black, about six
layers being applied, each layer being
dried and rubbed down Finally a var
nish is applied, and then tho surface is
rubbed down and finished Off as nicely
as painter finishes a fine carriage.
The final gloss is brought out by ex-
posure to the sun. 1t is a peculiar fact
that Old Sol brings out a better finish
than can any artificial drying or bak-
ing process Manufacturers Of high
grade patent leather test every skin
before shipping H. The test Is made by
folding the hftle or skin st any point
seized at random into double V. This
V is hammered with mallet If the
finish cracks, the skin is rejected, and
if it does not crack, the leather is sent
to the shoe manufacturer. A patent
finish is on a smooth surface and an
enamel on a boarded. Japan or lacquer
leather is the same ps ratent A
boarded" surface is 8 surface whose
grain is raised by roughlng It up With
a piece of board .-Newport News

THRIVE ON PETROLEUM.
Jersey Mosquitoes Are Growing Fat
On the Liquid Thnt Was 70
Exterminrte Them.

People living on the meadow of Jer-
this year over the tremendous size and
the sickness and well fed appearance
Of the mosquitoes. The secret may now
be said to be out. It's the oil. The mos
quitoes have grown TO like the old. They
are waxing sinewy, sleek and sOngful
on the oil that the scientists have, al
great expense, been flooding the mos
quito infested ponds with since the' be-
ginning OF spring.
4. MIR. William c. Whitney has spent
something like $4,000 in oiling up the
ponds down his way on Long island,
with the result that the Westbury mos
quitoes this year look like humming
birds, and are as sanguinary and con-
fident as bolo hurting Moros. Ola time
residents down on the mosquito breed
ing Jersey marsh lands and rivers de-
clare that the mosquitoes are such an
adaptable lot that they've already dis
covered q method of distilling the poi
sonous elements from the oil and reject
ing them, leaving only the wholesome,
fattening elements wherewith to regale
themselves and take on flesh. They go
farther than this, these mosquito wise
Jerseyites, and declare that some OF the
oil fed mosquitoes pump the poisonous
ingredients that they have collected
from the oil, 10 addition TO their own in
fection venom, into the persons OF their
human victims. All Of which is more OF
less cheerful

CAN PLANTS REASoN7
Prof. shaier Thinks They Have some
Intelligence and Gives Reasons
Cor His Opinion.

That plants have intelligence is main
tanned in thesis by Prof Shaler, of
Harvard university After discussing
the automata. he says: eve may accept
the statement that our higher intelli-
gence is but the Illuminated summit Of
mans nature as true, and extend it by
the observation that intelligence is nor
mally unconscious, and appears as con,
scious only after infancy, in our waking
hours, and not always them" In sum.
ming up the professor uses the follow
ing sentences: Looking toward the or
ganic world In the manner above sug.
gested, seeing that an unprecedented view
OF life affords no warrant for the mo.
tion that automata anywhere exist, trac-
ing as we may down to the lowest grade
OF the animal series what ia fair evil
dence TO actions which we have to be-
lieve TO be guided by some form OF in
telligence, seeing that there Is reason TO
conclude that plants are derived from
the same primitive stock as animals, we
are in no condition to say that intelli-
gence cannot exist among them. In fact,
all that we can discern supports the view
that throughout the organic realm the
Intelligence that fnds It's fullest express
sion In man is everywhere at work"

straight downward to the latter. But,
after all, there is no gain In power.
Now imagine a different arrangement
that shown in the diagram. Suppose
there are two pulleys. one above and one
below. Let the weight (W) be attached.
not to the end OF the rope, but TO the
block containing the lower pulley. Let
one end Of the rope be secured to the
lower end of the upper block, and put
the other end (P) in the mans hands
With these two pulleys he can raise near
" twice his own weight. To lift the load
one foot lie must pull two feet Of rope
and he must work twice as long as be-
fore. In all mechanical devices OF this
sort, what is gained in power must be
compensated by extra time and distance.
For the sake OF simplicity, the draw
ing shows only & single pair Of pulleys,
one in each block II often happens that
there are two or three pairs, two or three
pulleys in each block. but only one rope
being used. Such an arrangement gives
much more power. A single pair doubles
(or nearly doubles) the power, two pairs

multiply It skiold, or nearly SO. With
four puleys, two in each block. the man
must pull down four feet OF rope to raise
the weight one foot; and with six pull
leys, three in each block, he must pull
down six feet to lift ii the same distance.
Allowance must be made for the fric-
tion Of the pulleys in their bearings in
the blocks. No matter how good the
construction there must be some loss Of
power from that cause. Possibly this
item may be small. say, not over one
tenth or one-twentieth of the power ex-
pended. Still II must not be overlooked
The foregoing principles apply equal
ly. whether the power applied at p be de-
rived from a man, horse or a steam en-
gine. The advantage comes from null
tiplication of pulleys, and what is gained
in one way is lost In another, For load
ing and unloading steamers the block
and tackle has the added convenience
that 1t may be suspended from the end Of
a movable boom, which may be swung
first in one direction and then in the
other. Thus lateral as well as vertical
transportation is made possible This
other convenience, however, results from
the boom, or derrick, not from the block
and tackle.

BLOCK AND TACKLE.
Convenient Apparatus for Lifting
Heavy Locds wish Cpiopnrn-
lively Suuti Power.

Familiar as many people are with a
block and tackle, il is not everyone who
understands tne principle ON when that
apparatus works, or why any advantage
can be derived from its use. Hence, a
short explanation is permissible, says
the New York Tribune.
Ii may be explained. to begin with,
that the chief benefit comes from a null
tiplica;ion Of puloys Ifouly one pulley
be used, there may he some increase of
convenience, but nothing is gained in
power. Suppose, for instance, that from
a point above and outside an open win
dow be secured a single pulley. over
which q rope Is run, so that both ends
touch the ground. Let a heavy object
be attached to one, and let man pull
down on the other If the object weighs
more than the man, he cannot start it.
II il weighs less. he can. For every one
foot of descent at his end, the attached
burden will ascend exactly the same dis
tance The lifting force exerted on II is
equal to the pulling force at the other
end, that Is, theoretically. This may be
a handler way 10 manage the load than II
the man was up In the window and tried
to raise the same load by q rope running

Persons disposed to call in question

There is the motor in the front of

Literally hundreds of thousands of
