TRIUMPH FOR AMERICAN SKILL
Successful Method Evolved by Which
Dressed SeaIskins May Be Made
Thoroughly PIabe.

American workmen have been sue
ceSSful after Workmen of several 9th
er nations failed, in evolving a system
of treating sealskins to make them
more valuable.
For many years furriers had desired
a black dye with which to treat seal
skins successfully. The mode had al
ways been brownish luster. First
the French announced black dye, but
this dye ruined the fur by causing it
to rapidly disintegrate.
The British then worked out a sys-
tenn of dyeing the sealskins black, but
they could not make the skin pliable
and garments made from them We're
awkward. The lack of soft tanning
and the thick leather made it impos-
Sible to get the flares and degrees of
drape desired in garments
Today the Alaskan seal, under the
American method, is as supple and
may be as easily manipulated as the
kid of ladys glove or fine piece of
chiffon velvet. 1t Is not an eXaggera-
ton to say that an entire dressed skin
can be drawn through a small napkin
ring. The credit for the fiexlbility is
due to the machinery and process in
stalled In st. Louis and known as the
Funsten st. Louis methodist. Louis

ZINC STENCILS FOUND BEST
Material Has Many Advantages Over
Any Other Used in the Making
of Those Articles.

Zinc Is being introduced and made
rather extensive use of at the present
time in the manufacture of stencils,
as a substitute for other metals and
paper. Not only is zinc the only mate
rial that does not stretch and buckle
IN continuous use, but it has several
other important advantages.
The cutting and making of paper
stencils involves the same skilled
work as & stencil made of zinc, and
zinc stencil will reproduce ten thou
sand copies Zinc retains its fiat shape.
indefinitely. Another feature that
recommends zines use is the low cost
Of producing the finished stencil, the
metal possessing qualities that permit
stamping as many as one thousand
stencils in one operation.
When the manufacturer realizes the
economy and value of zinc stencils as
compared With others it will -eap
vastly increased demand for that
metal. Stencils form the background
of almost every manufactured article
from laces to showcases.
Negotiations now are being carried
on to supply japanese producers with
zinc stencils for use in stamping silk
designs to replace the slower and more
expensive hand methods now in vogue.

greatly reduced in number, for con-
dor lays no more than two eggs, and
1t takes many months to rear the
young.
The mans method was to drive
burro to some lonely gorge among the
bleak mountain tops favored by the
birds and then kill the animal. He
was very particular in stating that the
burro had to be fat-a poor one would
not do for bait. He then spread nets
about the carcass, and when the con-
doris had gathered about to feast he
pulled a rope and ensnared them. On
ope occasion he shared 81 at one
throw OF the net. The captured birds
were dispatched with club and the
1ong-wing feathers extracted, to be ex.
ported to France to decorate women's
hats.

most places the canal has been filled
with drifting sand but it's course is
easily traced. Engineers who located

Early Meeting Houses.

The earliest New England meeting
houses were built in valleys and
meadow lands, much the same as the
first Old First church In Springfield.
for here it was that the homes were
located. For time it was required
that all homes should be built within
half mile OF the meeting house. for
the most part to afford protection to
the settlers, since the building did
duty as fort as well as house Of
worship.
As the population increased and new
settlers came into the villages the half
mile radius became too crowded to
permit this to continue. It was neces-
sary to go some distance to pasture
the cattle and for this reason the law
was cancelled.

New British Wheats.

Sir Daniel Morris stated at the last
meeting of the British association that
as result of the recent plant-breed-
ing work done by Bifen, at Cam
bridge, new wheats have been grown
over extensive areas in eastern Eng
land, yielding crops at the rate of so
TO 60 bushels per acre, and even IT
bushels in the case Of one area of 81
acres. The average yield in England
is 81 bushels per acre. Besides being
more productive, the new wheats are
less liable to disease and make better
flour than the ordinary English
wheats In India, the Pusa wheats,
developed by the Towards, will soon
be grown over an area of 100000
acres, and are expected to increase
the value of the wheat crop in India
to the extent of S25,0O0,0O0 annually.
