But why won't you use the ele-

Aunt Jane There are c,0U5 women

SOME ODD LEATHERS.
Prepared From the skins Of various
Aquatic Animals

Leather is prepared from the hides VI
nearly all aquatic animals principally
the seal. whale porpoise. alligator and
walrus The use Of these hides is al
most as old a. man himself and they
have ever been most eagerly sought
after for the many Uses tn 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. F'urs We're usual
" wrapped up in these skins. and when
HEY reached Kiachta China, ihe great
mart of those days, the skin was Sewed
over chests Of tea. On arrival at Mos
cow the soundest portions were re
moved, cut up and stamped into ko-
pecks and a variety Of small change.
This formed the chief currency Of Alas
ka for time The Russians also made
harness OF Walrus leather. while the
natives Of Alaska used the skin as
covering for their boats
4 queerer 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 angel
fish, The sword grips Of the German
army are made from shark leather
which IS beautiful In pattern. being
marked with dark diamond shaped IL
ures This skin comes from a North
sea shark called the diamond shark
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce substitute from animal
hides. but In vain. Unlike animal leath
er. fish leather Is absolutely imperyious
to water and never gets soggy from
dampness. Therefore It is ideal for
sword grips. as. no matter how much
the hand may perspire. the grip re
mains hard and dry.
Leather Is made FROM the skin Of the
Pacific coast and great lakes sturgeon.
which is exceedingly tough and Is used
in making laces for joining leather
betting. In Canada the skin Of spe-
cies of siluroid is used in making
gloves

- UGAR CITY, Nov. l7.--Nearly all
the beets have been brought in by
rail and team from the country
tributary to Sugar City, and the
gratifying results show that this city
viii lead any point in Utah or Idaho in
the total beet tonnage. The actual fig
ures will run close to $4,000 tons, possi-
bly, more. which is said to be far in
excess OF either Lehi, Garland Idaho
Falls, ogden or Logan. The biggest rec.
ords have been made on the famous
Egln bench. where anywhere from 25 to
81 tons to the acre have not been nfre-
quent records. The mill is doing grand
work and running every day far be-

Is no likelihood that the tonnage Of
beets VIII be worked up until well into
January.
