The progress Of this work has been
full of dramatic and thrilling incl

required the constant vigilance of the
engineers and the utmost precaution
to prevent disasters. Subterranean
lakes and springs were opened by the
dynamite blasts, and the thrush of wa

cipitately from the tunnel. Cave-ins

A new electric tanning process, in
vented by the Swedish scientist DR.. A.
Groth and applied on practical scale
in an English works, is attracting
much attention, and it is stated that
one of the prominent electrical firms
is soon to take it up for commercial
use. With this method, the hides are
put in special vats along with metal
conductors, so as to carry out an
electrolytic action, and this will tan
the hides in much less time than
usual, for instance, six weeks as COM
pared to several months. Leather of
better quality is produced in this way,
and the method gets perfect and
solid tanning. The details of the
method are not yet made public. Va
rious electrical devices in the shape
of regulators and indicators, also
safely apparatus for over-current,
make the process almost an automatic
one, and in the present trial plant at
Kidderminster two persons are all
that is needed to take care of the
whole. Should anything go wrong in
one Of the vats, electric bell or lamp
signals give warning at once. The
plant keeps running day and night.
