chine for stitching the backs of gloves
which sews two. three, four and even
six rows at the same time. The auto.

At various periods and in different
countries the glove has been the theme
for many fanciful and poetic theories
1t has been a customary offering on
occasions of JOY and sorrow; the pledge
Of friendsip. of love, and of safety;
iation and honor; the token of loyalty,
and the tenure by which estates have
been granted or held.
The origin of the glove is unknown,
and its material history is not aided
to any extent by the history of the
world itself. From all the evidence
obtaina BILE the glove probably consti-
tuted a part of mems dress from time
immemorial. If recent discoveries In
the geological world are to be cred
tied. it formed part of the costume Of
the prehistoric cave jewellers. 1t Is
supposed that the gloves of the cave
dwellers were made from roughly
dressed skins and sewed with needles
made of bone, and were not of ordi-
nary size, but reached to the elbows,
thus anticipating the multibutton glove
of the Victorian era. They were known
to the Greeks and also to the Persians
and Romans. Among the Greeks they
were chiefly used by the laborers as a
protection for the hands in gathering
harvests. Among the Persians and
Romans they were also worn as orna-
ments. chiefly by the higher orders.

They were considered a necessary
adjunct to the regalia of royalty, and
they were not generally worn by wom-
en- until about the period of the Ref
ormation The manufacture of gloves
in the United States dates from 1880.
In the early period of the industry the
Indian process of tanning was exclu-
sively used. The distinguishing fea-
ture of the process was the use of the
brain of deer, which insured a dur
able as we'll as soft and pliable leath-
er. The brain of hog was subse-
quently tried, but it was not entirely
satisfactory, as 1t lacked certain prop
critics possessed by the deer brain. At
the present time the sheep and lamb

known as salt pickle" which is ap
piled to the skin after the removal Of

When the glovemaker gets the skins
| he stretches them and then shaves

and then they go to the cutters. From
the cutters room the leather, which
has assumed the shape of glove.

Plant Life and Temperature.

Plant life is much more tolerant
than animal life of extremes of tenn
perature, growth having been observ-
ed in some instances as low as zero,
and in other instances as high as -
degree centigrade. 1t is perfectly
true that freezing process does not
destroy life. A fish or frog will be
frozen solid and on rethawing will be-
come quite lively again. The seeds of
plants can actually undergo for hours
temperature of liquid hydrogen. the
coolest temperature known, and yet
retain their germinative power.
