ingly, coming slowly into her sit

writing in her journal. Josephine
heard the the door close and hur-
ried in with her quick silent step
to take off her mistress wraps.
"Mademoisel1e looks so tired
after these long walks!' she said
solicitously, scrutinizing with a
professional experiences the color
of the young face. II don't think

all. This climate is too soft to

Eugenia held out her arms as
Josephine slipped off her pretty,
fawn colored silk coat and then let
them fall at her sides. She was
thinking, "Cabs! What would he
say to someone who went every

ooh. cried Josephine. "Those
abominable ruins! Mademoiselle'

pieces! Oh, Mile. Wallet, just

shoes, the beautiful bronze ones.

EGYPTIANS RIVALED
MODERN TANNERS
From the Kansas CITY Times.

/; From the Kansas City Times.
/, Pictures of leather tanning found in
| the Egyptian tombs of three thousand
years ago show methods of preparing
leather which the tanning chemist
only succeeded in surpa ssng in rela-
lively recent years, Prof. James S.
Long, associate professor of inorganic
chemistry at Lehigh University, said
recently.
| He has made a special study of
leather and methods of preparing it,
and he found that it took all the skill
of the modern chemist to evolve a
process better than that used by the
ancient Egyptians. They tanned their
ieather by rubbing ii with juices of
| astringent barks. sour milk and oils
and treating it with smoke, in all
probability. These same methods
were used until relatively few years
ago.
THE leather we wear today has
been differently treated, however
| from that used by King Tut's COM
patriots" Prof. Long said. "Chrom-
lum compounds have largely replaced
bark extract in treating the uppers
and the chemist has worked other
, wonders in shoe leather. The chemist
understands and controls the changes
that the skin undergoes in becoming
leather.
THE hair must be removed from
the skin. but not by acids; it must

wastes nothing, certainly not hair.
Then the fiabby skin must be changed

product which will stand the action

their skins are not similar. No two

sides OF the same skin are different

would spoil another. The skins must
therefore be sorted and resortcd at
each step in the process. and at best
only certain proportion turns out as
desired by the tanner. Further, the
tanner knows that this will be the
case before he puts the skins in their
chemical baths.
The product is soon given the nee

Scientific View of Earth.
rom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A French scientist finds in the great
depths of the Arctic ocean an argu-
ment tending to show that the earth
is slightly topshaped. the protuber-
ance corresponding to the point of
the top being at the south pole. This.
he thinks. would explain the different
results arrived at by the various
measurements of astronomers and
geodesists.
The differences are very small In
comparison with the entire bulk or
the globe, yet they are readily ap-
probable, and one of the explanations
that has been suggested for them Is
that the earth is tetrahedral in form.
But the Frenchman thinks the top
shape theory Is preferable. The fact
that to an eye looking at the earth
from a point in space it would not
sensibly differ, in appearance from a
true sphere shows how refined are
the methods of science which enable
men living on the surface of the globe
to detect variations in it's general
contour.
