SOME ODD LEATHERS.
Prepared From the Skins of Various
Aquatic Animals.

Leather is prepared from the hides Of
nenrly all aquatic animals. principally
the seal, whale, porpoise, alligator and
walrus. The use Of these hides Is aI-
most as old as man himself, and they
have ever been most eagerly sought
after for 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 wnlrus hides. Furs were usual
" wrapped UP in these skins. and when
they reached Kiachtn. China, the 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 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 q
covering for their boats.
a 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 fig
ures. This skin comes from n North
sea shark called the diamond shark.
Leather manufacturers have tried to
produce a substitute from animal
hides, but in vain. Unlike animal ieoth
er, fish leather is absolutely impervious
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.
Lenther is made from the skin Of the
Pacific coast and great ,lakaesturgeon
which is exceedingly tough and is used
in making laces for Joining leather
betting. In Canada the skin of spe-
cies OF siluroid - used in making
gloves. "a

PREPARING oPIuM.
How the Drug Is Taken From tho
Poppy and Made Into Balls,

HOW tie Drug Is Taken From tho
Poppy and Made Into Balls.
The preparation of "raw" opium in
north Iudia Is carried out us follows:
In February, us Il rule, the juice Is
gathered. the poppy plant being then In
full flower and of height of three or
four feet, each stem having from two
to i've capsules of. the size of ducks
egg. Before the capsules are pierced
the fallen petals Of the flowers are
carefully gathered and sorted accord
Ing to condition In three grades and
then are hented over slow fire and
formed into thin cakes, to be used
for the covering Of the drug when COL
lected. The piercing of the pods re-
Quircs great skill, and upon it largely
depends the yield. The opium farmer
and his assistants each curry q small
lnnce-like tool, which has three or
four short. sharp rrongs. and with
this half dozen perpendicular cuts
are made I'm each capsule or seed pod
of the poppy. The juice begins to flow
ut once, but quickly congculs. The
day after the thickencd juice is care
fully gathered. being scrnpcd Off with
IL SiiHii i'oii tIOWcl, anu TIC mass mus
gathered is put into an earthcn vessel
and Kept carefully stirred for II month
or more. great care being taken to
have 1t well aired, but not exposed
to the sun. The material Is now OK
amincd by expert testers, who deter
mine It's grade or quality, and then
the whole is put into q large box.
where 1t Is worked very much in the
same fashion as bakers dough to give
1t the required consistency. The
opium Is now made into balls for ex-
port; the natives wade about in the
large watts containing the pastc-like
drug and hand 1t out to hundreds of
Dallmnkers sitting around the room.
Every man has spherical brass cup
lined with che poppy flower petals be-
fore him. Into this is pressed the rog-
ulation quantity OF opium. From
this brass cup, when properly pressed,
the opium ball is transferred to an
other man. who gives 1t Il coating of
clay. This gites the drug, when ready
for shipment. the appearance of n fair
sized cannon ball. When we'll pre-.
pared in this manner. opium will keep
Its properties for fifteen years or
more. Before 1t can be used the
opium balls have to be broken I'D and
further treated Tropical AgrIcultur-

The skin Of NV Teeth.

Speaking OF the somewhat popular
lack of familiarity with the Bible, 1t
deserves to he said that this deficiency
Is not confined TO unlettercd people
In an article OH political crisis in
England Justin Mccarthy quoted the
expression ''by the skin Of his teoth"
and parenthetically apologized for us
Ing what he called vulgar phrase.
The expression is quite commonly
rated rs slang by very Intelligent peo-
pie. cynical commentators on this
expression calls it an Uzism, for the
reason that Job originally made use
Of 1t in his wallings. Smith Job in
his nineteenth chapter, twentieth
verse:
II nm escaped with the skin Of my
teeth."-Boston Herald.

Making the Average.

At woman's club meeting In New
York recently woman who had made
n witty speech about men I'm general
was asked by one Of the members lie
she could tell just what was the mean
ing of the expression. "An average
man." "Of course can" she prompt
~ replied. ~ think IN average man is
one who smiles and looks pleasant all
day at the Office, but when he comes
home acts as cross rs n bear with n
sore head. just so he can make up the
average"

WHERE STEVENSON GOT IDEA
"pr. JekyII and Mr.. Hyde" Had Foun-
dation In Real Life.

"pr. JekyII and Mr.. Hyde" Had Foun-
dation In Real Life.
Among weird fiction there are few
novels to compete with The Strange
Story Of DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" and
the story of its inception is almost as
strange as the work itself.
Stevenson, it appears. had dealings
with a man named Samuel Creggan,
and did not like him. Hes a man
who trades on the Samuel" averred
the novelist. "He receives you with
Samuel's smile On his face; but every
now and then you catch a glimpse of
the Creggan peeping out like a white
ferret. Creggan's the real man; Sam
uel's only superficial"
This was what gave Stevenson the
first idea for the dual personality of
Jekyll and Hyde. but he did not begin
to write.
One night, however, Mrs. Stevenson,
awakened by cries of horror from her
husband, and thinking that he had \
nightmare, aroused him. He was quite
angry.
why did you wake me-" he asked.
81 was dreaming a fine bogey tale"
He got up at once and began writing
in a sort of fever. His ~biographer,
Mr.. Osborne, says that it is doubtful
whether the first draft took him so
long as three days.
