PROGRESS MADE IN TANNING
Process Known to Be at Least Three
Thousand Years Old, but Improve
ments Came Slowly.

At first skins were cured by simply
cleaning and drying Then 1t was
found the texture Of the leather I'M
proved by the use of smoke, sour milk,
various oils and the brains Of the an
imals themselves. Later 1t was dis
covered that certain astringent banks
and vegetables effected permanent
changes In the texture Of skins and
stopped decay. The ancient Egyptians
possessed this knowledge, for engrav-
ings on their tombs depict the process
Of tanning In China specimens of
leather have been discovered in COM
pany with other relics that prove them
to be over three thousand years old.
The Romans used leather which they
tanned with oil, alum and bark. Early
explorers In America found the In
dams wearing skins prepared with
buffalo dung, oil and clay.
No improvement In the general
methods of preparing leather took
place from the most primitive times
until about 1870. when the use Of lime
to loosen the hair was introduced. By
1925 English tanners were attempting
to introduce new methods by which
the tanning process could be shortened.
One Of the pioneers in these expert
ments was John Burridge, the inven-
tor of the barometer, an instrument
for determining the strength of tan
ming liquors.

International pats.Llna.

The international Date-Line is a by
pothetlcal line, coinclding approx
mately with the meridian Of longitude
$50 degrees from Greenwich, fixed by
international agreement as the place
where each calendar day first begins.
For practical purposes the meridian is
not strictly followed, Tor the line runs
through Alaska and irregulnrly
through the Pacific ocean from north
to south, OF course.
East Of the International Date-Line
the day is dated one day earlier than
on the west OF the line.

Yes. Trees Must Eat.

Do you know how trees grow by
forming new layers Of wood directly
under the bark? The roots are the
support of the tree, says the School
Book of Forestry. They also supply
the tree with food. Through delicate
hairs on the roots they absorb soil
moisture and plant food from the earth
and pass them along to the tree. The
body of the tree acts as passage
way through which the food and drink
are conveyed to the top or crown. The
crown is the place where the food Is
digested and the regeneration Of trees
effected.

DUEL INDEFINITELY PUT OFF


Old Israel Putnam had his own
Ideas about dueling, although 1t was
regarded in his day rs more or less Il
part of gentlemans code of honor.
1t once happened that Putnam unin-
tentlonally offended a brother officer
In the Continental army. The dispute
arose at wine table, and the officer
demanded instant reparntion. Put
nam, being little excited, expressed
his willingness to accommodate him
with fight, and 1t was stipulated that
the duel should take place on the fol-
lowing morning, and that they should
fight without seconds. At the appoint
ed time the officer went to the duel
ing ground armed with swords and
pistols. Putnam was there before him
on the field and had taken stand Mt
the opposite end, musket In hand.
Catching sight of his opponent he lev
eled his musket and fired, The aston
ished officer ran toward Putnam, who
was deliberately reloading his piece.

as this the conduct OF an American
officer and man Of honory'
"What am | nbout? inquired Put
nam. "a pretty question to ask u
man whom you intended to murder;
I'm about to kill you; and If you don't

Life Rats for Wharves and Docks.

Although ships have carried life
RATS for many years, the only pro-
vision ordinarily made on docks and
wharves for accidents is the common,
round life preserver, These are in
adequate at times, especially in the
event of gang-plank breaking and
preclpltating several persons into deep
water at once. A California seaport,
realizing this danger, has installed life
RATS mounted on trucks for instant
moving and launching. They are al
most the size used by ships, but with
a double deck body and central
cockpit for passengers, the whole be
ing rigidly mounted on pontoons. The
buoyancy of these rats is sufficient to
supper, large number of persons.

Arc screech Owls omInous,

In some sections Of the country peo-
pie believe that when screech owl
allghts and begins to send out Its
shivering cry into the night 1t Is a
sign Of some i'll luck which is soon to
befall them Particularly do ignorant
people put faith In this sign Many
have been heard to say that it betokens
the early death of loved one. No
more utterly false specter of the Imagi-
nation was ever created. A screech
owl is quite harmless. In fact, they
are quite valuable, pretty little night
birds.-Our Dumb Animals.
