FISH SKINS AS CLOTHING.

Experts have of recent years been
giving considerable attention to the
utilization of the skins OF water ami
mails for clothing. They have already
proved that several kinds of fish skins
make excellent leather for some pur.
poses. Salmon hide is found not only
serviceable for binding books, but
among the Esquimos II has been used
for generations for making water.
proof clothes. The people in the far
North also use Goldfish skins for jack.

practicable and durable for the pur.
poses herein referred to are whale
skins and seal leather, which dye in
beautiful colors.
