ARTIFICIAL LEATHER.

Coincident with that rise in the price Of
meat of late years which falls so heavily
on the domestic economy of the average
household we note rise in the price OF
leather. which is even severer burden on
the workingman. since available substitutes
for the latter product OF the range are at
once scarcer and more needed. IL Is en-
couraging, therefore, TO learn that the
efforts Of the inventor to produce such sub
stitutes have of late been crowned with re-
markable success
y prize of 5000 francs has Just been
awarded by an agricultural committee of
Terni to Belgian inventor, Louis Gevaert.
OF Beveren-les-A for unusually
superior artificial leather. The process,
patented in 1907. and perfected by successive
steps, consists in the more or less intimate
impre gnation of stout cotton cloth with
