How chamois skins Are Made.

The sheepskin is first washed and
the flesh side scraped thoroughly to re-
move the feshy fibers then the wet
skins are hung in a warm room tor
about a week and "sweated. This
loosens the wool SO that most of it can
be pulled out easily. The skins are
then soaked in milk OF lime to loosen
the rest of the wool and to swell the
fbers and split them into their con-
stituent fbrils.
After lining, the hair is all removed
and the absorbed lime is neutralized
with boric or hydrochloric acid, and
the skin is split into two thicknesses.
The outer or grain side is used for the
manufacture OF thin, fancy feathers
used in bookbinding, etc., while the
flesh side is made to wash leather. 1t
is fret drenched, then put into stocks
and pounded until it is partly dried
and the fbrous structure has become
loose and open. sawdust generally
being employed to facilitate the pro-
cess.
Fish oil is now rubbed upon the
skins in small quantities, as long as
the oil is absorbed The moisture
dries out as the oil is absorbed, the
skins being hung up occasionally and
exposed to the air. When the skins
have absorbed enough oil they lose
their limy odor and acquire peculiar
mustard-like smell, due to the oxida-
ton of the oil. They are then packed
loosely in boxes, where they heat rap
idly, and must be taken out and ex-
posed to the air to prevent overhead
ing. During this time they give OFT
much puugent vapor and turn yellow.
They are then washed in warm solu-
ton of alkalito remove the excess Of fat.
The oil removed is liberated from the
soapy fluid and sold as "sod oil.
The skins are next bleached in the
sun, being moistened occasionally with
a solution of potassium permangamate
followed by washing with sulfurous
acid or sodium peroxide. The leather
is then permanently softened and
suited for all purposes of toilet or
cleansing uses.

A pallid and excited individual
dashed into public house, and in an
agitated voice gasped: "a glass of
liquor, quick-a man has fallen out
side and cut his head shockingly."
The barman promptly poured out
the liquor into a tumbler, which the
stranger clutched nervously, and emp
tied at once. Then he drew his hand
across his eyes, sighed heavily, looked
into the face of the amazed dealer and
apologetically said : "The sight of
blood always did make me sick" He
then walked away, leaving the bar
man staring at the door.

THE WEEK IN REALTY.
Actiyity in The BrOnr of Many
Builders a Pleasing Feature.

The average builder has plenty OF courage and
the more setbacks he gets the appears to be
his courage. He had rough road to travel last
year. with multiplicity OF strikes in the building
trades. Then money conditions became bad and
how he managed 10 keep his feet and start out
this spring, prepared to do much larger business
than he had FOR a long time. only be rightly
understood and appreciated by taking into consfi-
Grafton his wonderful courage and his business
ability. without the latter the former would not
lead to success in the building line. but a right
blending OF the two can apparently overcome al
most Insurmountable difficulties
For most OF the pleasing conditions now existing
I'm the realty market much credit is due to builders
for. despite the fact that the prices OF building
materials still high. the money market IS not
good 1t might be. and the bricklayers and
laborers strike. large number OF builders
are going about ihelr business as II the building
outlook were bright

last year clearly shows that many builders are de-
termined be busy. This activity among the
builders is one Of the most enjoyable features OF
the realty market. Since January I to date pIans
have been filed for the building OF $50 structures
against 452 for the corresponding period last year
The larger building boom is in The Bronx as 1t Is
the most attractive field for operations Just at
present to the majority OF builders who make a
speciality Of putting up fiat and tenement houses.
From January l to yesterday 29i buildings have
been projected for The Bronx against for the
similar period last year. gain of 1l6 buildings this
year over that OF last year. This is a large in
crease and indicates that there Is an excellent
market for Bronx property.
