Among the French mountaineers the
rearing of. kids for the sake of their
skins Is leading industry. Softness.
delicacy of texture and freedom from
blemish are the chief factors in the
value Of kidskins, and to secure these
essentials great pains IRE taken. So
soon az the kids are old enough to eat
grass the skin begins to decline in quail
ity. rs 1t grows coarser and harder fin
texture, and thus Its chief merit disap-
pears. The kid Is therefore penned,
not only to prevent 1t from eating
grass, but also to protect the skin from
accidental injury. through scratches
and bruises. which would, of course.
impair its value. At a certain age.
when the skins are in the best condi-
tion for the use of the glover. the kids
are killed and the hides sold to ped
oilers, through whose agency they reach
the great centres Of the tanning indus
try.

A Select Committee of the House Of
Lords are considering a proposal to
deepen the Manchester Ship Canal, and
to raise the low-water level Of the rIr-
ers Weaver and Mersey. AIr. Balfour
Brown. X. c.. in stating the case for
the promoters, said that at present the
depth Of the canal was only twenty six
feet. In recent years the size Of yes
sells had enormously increased. and a
greater depth &C water was now abso-
lutely necessary. When the depth of
the canal was liked at twenty-six feet
there were not half dozen vessels
built which could not get up the canal,
Now hundreds of vessels were too
large to navigate the canal. The deep
ening proposed would enable vessels of
II 800 tons dead weight to navigate the
canal.

Speaking before the Congress Of ;he

idea of what chimneys threw into the

dirt and grease dropped annually on
an acre Of land.
The question was frequently asked,

which the natural elements of health
demanded. He would like TO bring
to their notice a persona: experience.
Living as he did within seven miles OF
Glasgow, he had been able to observe
the effect of the smoke upon the trees
and the fruit. When he was boy he
remembered that any amount of april
cots and greengages were grown on
the wall trees in the gardens. The trees
were still there. but for years there
had not been such thing as fruit.
There had been as much care given
to the trees, but in the Valley of the
Clyde the smoke had blotted out the
vivifying rays of the sun, and the
consequence was that SO far as the
finer grades of the fruit were con-
cerned they were absolutely eStlncr.
