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 a rise in
the price of leather, which is even a
severer burden on the working man.
since available substitutes for the latter
product of the range are at once scar
Ger and more needed. 1t is encourage
ing, therefore, to learn that the efforts
of the inventor to produce such substi-
tutes have of late been crowned with
remarkable success.
A prize of 5000 francs has Just been
awarded by an agricultural committee
of Terni to Belgian inventor, Louis
Gevaert, of Observation-Disclosures for
an unusually superior artificial leather.
The process, patented in 1907, and per-
fected by successive steps, consists in
the more or less intimate impregnation
of stout cotton cloth with tannic album
inoid substances. Shoes made of this
are said to possess not only the resist
ance and elasticity of natural leather,
but its durability of wear. Moreover,
they are much cheaper, costing, includ-
ing manufacture, only about francs,
and being sold at about francs per
pair. Scientific American.
