Le.tber Last. Only IS Years.

A very striking instance of the de-
terioration of leather produced under
conditions demanding quicker tanning
by use of various chemicals, thus &C.
creasing the durability of the mate
rial Is afforded by the fact that the
British Museum expends $4,000 a
year in reminding books in leather.
Modern leather is widely different
from the material produced by what
is now regarded as an effete process
its life being limited to 15 years. In
the search for cheaper and quicker
processes of making leather, large
quantities of sulphuric acid are used.
and this chemical in combination with
others, causes the material to decom
pose rapidly in the course of a few
vears.-Stray Stories.

For Seeing Under the Sea-.

Signor Pine. an Italian engineer,
has invented an apparatus called q
microscope, which, he claims, enables
a person to see the bed of the sea at
depth of $50 to 500 yards with a
range of vision several thousand
square yards. The inventor asserts
that the apparatus is adapted to be
used on ships and will enable the
captain to see submerged rocks and
reefs from the main deck. The value
of the apparatus. If the claim is well
based, can very readily be understood.

Suit for the Kansas-Paciic Trust Fund
Won by the Government-No
Appeal Made.

In the case OF the United States against
the American Loan and Trust Company
trustee and the Union Pacific railway and
others General John c. Gown. the special
counsel. who prosecuted the case on behalf
of the government. has delivered to the
Secretary of the Treasury two drafts of the
total sum of sJ66,313.3 80. being the amount
awarded In favor of the government in the
circuit court of the United States for the
district of Massachusetts, the contest being
over a trust fund. and which has been pend
ing for nearly five years and finally deter
mined in favor of the United States.
The Fund.
In 1888 q trust fund was created by the
luion Pacific Railroad Company. called
1.-THE Kansas Pacific further security trust.
After the lien of the government on the
Union Pacific was foreclosed. and that
claim paid. and the Kansas Pacific lien
foreclosed. leaving deficiency, there was
in the trust fund name. something over
$4,000.
The money was in the hands of the
American Loan and Trust Company of Bos-

trust indenture the United States among
them. Gen Cowen was selected as special
counsel for the government he hIed IN

Judge Colt last February decided that the
