USE OF ALLIGATOR SKINS.
Consumption of the Leather Is Now Greater Than Ever Before in
 History of Its Use.

Occasional attempts to utilize the coriaceous epidermis of alliga tors in leather manufacture have been made for over 100 years or more, but not with much success until 1855, when this novel leather became somewhat fashionable and considerable demand developed. The market, however, was not long continued and after few. thou sand hides had been shipped from the Gulf states, the demand ended.
 During the civil war another raid was made on these saurians to supply shoe material and they were again slaughtered in thou sands, but with the cessation of hostilities and the restoration of free commerce ill shoe material the alligators were again left to re- pose for d period.
 The rest, however, was only temporary, for about 1869 tickle fashion again called for the leather for manufacturing into fancy slippers, boots, travelling bags, belts. card cases. music rolls and so forth. An immense demand was soon created for it, resulting in the slaughter of many thou sands of the animals every year. giving employment to hundreds of men. The demand soon exhausted the productive capacity of the country and large numbers Of skins were imported from Mexico and Central America.
 The consumption of this leather at present is greater than ever be- fore, and owing to the large impor- tations the market price is some what less than a few years ago. The output of the tanneries of the United States approximates 2S0,- GOO skins annually, worth $420.- GOO. It is d characteristic of all aquatic leather-indeed, of all leathers-that they are curiously checkered in oblong divisions, known as scales" or "bosses. ' separated by interseeting grooves, and varying ill size and character

PICTURE IS DISSEcTED.
Curious Quest of the Owner of a Cor reggie Fragment-History
 of the Work.

In private house in the west of London is a very beautiful picture, reputed to be by Correggio, and of such high quality that there is every reason to be either by that master or an excellent copy of one of his lost originals by Lodovico Carracci, says the London Mail.
 Although apparently a com- plete picture in itself, this ex- quisite painted figure of a beauti- ful woman, gazing intently at q ring, is only third of the original picture, and the present owner is endeay0ring to trace the missing parts in order to restore the work to it's original condition.
 A document attached to the back of the frame, and provided with a seal with the inscription "Quo Fata Nocant," gives the curi- ous history of this picture. It reads:
 ''The queen of Candaules, a king of Lydia, with the magic ring of ! Gyges, by Correggio. It is part of q larger picture which descended to three brothers by the name of Moore i'll whose family it had long  been, but not being able to agree as to it's possession, it was cut into three parts. This portion was pur- chased by Anthony Lord Fayer- sham, and from him it came into the possession of his daughter, Hon. Frances King, wife of John BOwater, at whose decease it was sold by auction in July, 1910, to Mr. John Long, of Woolwich."
 Then follows in another hand writing: It remained in Mr. Longs possession till his decease, and was purchased by me at his auction, August 27, 1928" The sig nature is difficult to decipher.

rAxATIoN IN THE sTATE.

A N EXCELLENT suggestion was brought
n out at the meeting Of the Board OF Trade
on Thursday night following the address OF tor-
mer Senator Higgins, in which that gentleman
urged the importance OF the question OF taxation.
It was proposed to have citizens gathering an
old-fashioned town meeting, for the discussion OF
taxation and similar matters. That such sug-
eestion should be made indicates that the mem
bers of the Board Of Trade arc aroused to the
vital subject Of taxation and the controlling part
that it PLAYS in the affairs of any community.
Mr.. Higgins, because of his service in public
life, is we'll qualified to speak upon these matters
He has reached ripe age where, prohting by his
experiences OF the past he is splendidly equipped
10 give the people the benefit of his views on
these questions. AS Mr.. Higgins says, this sub
iect can be divorced from politics and considered
in the light of what is for the best interests OF
the community The suggestion also that an eN-
merit on taxation be secured to give the board the
benefit of his advice is good idea. There are
men entirely free from political or selfish bias
who have made a profound study OF taxation.
They are employed in other cities to formulate,
systems of just taxation fair to all interests tfat
are involved and the service OF one OF these eN-
perts would be most valuable 10 the Board OF
Trade and to all other citizens who realize that III
the making of a new taxation system we
should have the assistance of the best experience
obtainable. There should be no effort to treat
any interest unjustly, There should be no desire
in Delaware to tax any citizen or business inter
est unfairly but merely that equitable basis OF
taxation should be found. This applies to the city
AZ we'll as to the State interests. Mr. Higgins be-
lieves that there should be a thorough overhaul
ing of the taxation in the city. And he is right.
Properties should be assessed and forced to pay
taxes according to true value There should be
no determinations And when this matter is
sifted down we doubt if there would be any pro-
tests.
m all means let the Board OF Trade con-
Germ itself in the question of taxation and secure
the best possible advice that can be obtained The
consideration of these matters by the Board OF
Trade is a hopeful sign that out Of the present
agitation there will develop system OF taxation
that viii be of pronounced benefit to all the resi-
dents of the city and State.
