some ODD LEATHER8.
Prepared from the Skins Of Various
Aquatic Animals.

Prepared from the Skins Of Various
Aquatic Animals.
Leather is prepared from the hides
of nearly all aquatic animals, princi-
pally the seal, whale, porpoise, alliga-
tor and walrus. The use Of these
hides is almost as old as man himself,
and they have ever been most eagerly
sought after Tor the many uses to
which they could be put after being
prepared as leather. At the time OF
the Russian occupation Of Alaska they
made great use Of walrus hides. Furs
were usually wrapped up in these
skins, and when they reached Kiachta.
China. the great mart Of those days,
the skin was sewed over chests of tea.
On arrival at Moscow the soundest
portions were removed, cut up and
stamped into kopecks and variety OF
small change. This formed the chief
currency of Alaska for time. The
Russians also made harness of walrus
leather, while the natives Of Alaska
used the skin as a covering for their
boats.
A oueerer kind Of leather, however.
comes from the bodies Of fishes. An
extremely fine quality Of green leather
made in Turkey is manufactured from
the skin Of an ugly fish called the an
gel fish. The sword grips Of the Ger
man army are made from shark leath-
or which Is beautiful in pattern, being
marked with dark diamond shaped dg-
ures. This skin comes from North
Sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce a substitute from animal
hides. but in vain. Unlike animal
leather. fish leather is absolutely Inn
pervious to water and never gets sog-
~ from dampness. Therefore it IL
ideal for sword grips, as, no matter
how much the hand may perspire, the
grip remains hard and dry.
Leather IL made from the skin or
the Pacific coast and great lakes stur-
eeon. which is exceedingly tough and
is used in making laces for Joining
leather betting. In Canada the skin
Of a species OF siluroid IL used In max
ing gloves.
