NEW SPANISH
OFFICIALS NOT
USED TO RADIO

MADRID, Aug. l3. U.P, - The
number of Spanish radio fans has
increased by leaps and bounds dur
ing the summer of 1881, the main
reason for it being the belief that
the sessions of the Cortes Con-
stituyentes wou;d be broadcast.
AS matter of fact, such was
the original intention, and the
Congreso de los Diputados was
wired for that purpose. But one
look at the Hall of Sessions, with
wires overhead and no less than a
score of microphones placed here
and there, was enough for most
deputies to decide that it was pref
cradle to do away with the broad
casting.
Thus it was that after Don
Niceto Alacala -Zamora, Republican
provisional president made his great
speech of welcome to the deputies
on July ID, the radio equipment
was taken out. A few days later
Major Ramon Franco, deputy from
Barcelona, moved that the radio be
put back, but he was defeated by
an overwhelming majority.
Nevertheless the radio stores did
land office business. Among the
distinguished purchasers of a radio
set in July was Count Romanones,
deputy from Guadalajara He an
nounced that he would follow the
discussion by radio while at his
summer residence in San Sebastian.
But the count, after the first ses-
sion. had to resort to the newspa-
pers and to his friends, for his in
formation.

SALT-ALUM PROCESS

The salt-alum formula calls for 1 pound of ammonia alum (am- monium aluminium sulphate) or potash alum potassium aluminium sulphate) dissolved in 1 gallon of water; 4 ounces Of washing soda (crystallized sodium carbonate) and 8 ounces of common salt dissolved together in one-half gallon of wa ter, When dissolved, pour the soda salt solution very slowly into the alum solution while stirring vigor- ously. Mix the combined solution used with sufficient flour to make thin paste, the flour being first mixed with a little water to pre- vent Jumps.
 The skin, cleaned and softened as previously described, should be tackled out smoothly, flesh side up, on a board and then coated about en eighth of an inch thick with the tanning paste and covered lightly with paper or sacking laid so that it does not come in close contact with the paste. The next day scrape off most of the paste and give another coating and at intervals of a day repeat the appli- cation two or three times, depend ing upon the thickness of the skin. Only thick skins from mature bucks will need as many as three appli- cations. Leave the last coating on for 3 or 4 days. Finally scrape off the paste and work the skin in borax water, and rinse, squeeze, and then stretch and work over a board in exactly the same man. ner described for the salt-acid process.
 The salt-alu:n process is widely used and is considered slightly bet ter than the salt-acid tannage, al- though alum-tanned skins often come out stiff and hard and re- quire much working to make them
 soft and pliable.

during which it is stirred frequent Iy, remove and rinse it in clean cool water. The skin should then be worked for about 10 minutes in a solution of l ounce of borax to l gallon of water. Rinse again in clean water and squeeze (but do not wring) as dry as possible. Work the skin a few minutes in the hands by rubbing and pulling, then tack it out flat, flesh side up, and apply a thin coating of grease or oil and let it dry. Fresh butter, neat's-foot oil, Or olive oil are good for this purpose.
 When the pelt is nearly dry but still damp, begin to work it with the hands, stretching it in all directions and working the flesh side over the edge of a board and pulling it back and forth as if shining shoes with a cloth. If the skin is rough it may be smoothed by working it over sandpaper block, which also helps to make it soft and more pliable. Much of the success in producing soft, pliable skin depends upon this repeated working, which must be done while the skin is drying and not after it is dry.
 If the skin is not soft enough when dry it should be dampened and worked again as before. If still greasy it may be given hasty bath in gasoline. A final cleaning by working in warm, dry, hardwood sawdust is beneficial and will add to hte luster of the fur.

other than cottontails, are bred extensively in United States, Bel guim, France, England, ana otner countries, and are found also in the wild state in marketable numbers in Australia and New Zealand. The pelt is strong and the fur thick fine, and silky. Most hares are larg- CT than rabbits but the pelts are weak and the fur, which is rather long, is brittle and not very dur able. The pelts are plucked, shear ed, and dyed in imitation of more rare and costly furs, and are so scientifically treated by the fur-dye- ing houses that it is often difficult to tell the genuine from the lmlta- tion.

 TANNING


 TANNING
 The tanning of rabbit skins by persons who are inexperienced or who lack proper equipment gener- ally results in disappointment, both in the appearance and in the quail ity of the product. To tan a pelt properly requires experience and practice, and some of the opera tions are so highly specialized that they cannot be undertaken by an amateur. Rabbit skins to be sold should not be tanned before ship naent, for fur buyers prefer to pur- chase them in the raw state. If in tended for home use, however, they may be tanned by the methods herein described, but it should not be expected that they will compare tavorably in appearance and plia- bility with the product of a tannery or factory operated by experienced workmen and equipped with mo- dern machinery.
 The first step in tanning is to get the skin thoroughly softened, clean, and free from flesh and grease. If the skin is cased, or whole, split it down the middle of the belly and then soak it in several changes of clean, cool water. When it becomes soft, lay it over pole or board and begin working over the skin side with a course file or dull knife to break up and remove the ad- herring tissues, flesh, and fat. At the same time, the grease and oil must be worked out of the skin, as 1t is useless to start tanning until all the tissues, fat, and grease have been removed and the skin has been made uniformly soft and pliable.
 The length of time a skin must be soaked depends upon the thickness ard the condition of the pelt, some skins requiring two or three hours and others longer. A skin should be soaked until it is soft, but it should not remain wet longer than is nec- essary, as the hair may start to slip. When the skin has been thus treat ed and is somewhat softened, work it in 1ukewarsn water containing l ounce of soda or borax to the gal lon. Soap added to the water is also helpful in cutting the grease and softening and cleansing the skin. Rinse thoroughly in luke warm water. Squeeze out the water, but do not wiring; then work the skin in gasoline, which should le- move the last particles of dirt and grease. It is then ready for tan ming. :'.f,:s
 There are several methods o1 tanning rabbit skins, but two o1 the more successful are known as the salt-acid process and the salt alum process.
 SALT-ACID PROCESS
 The salt-acid formula calls fol a solution made up of 1 pound o. common salt and one-half ounce o. concentrated sulphuric acid to eacl gallon of water. Dissolve the sal and carefully pour in the acid while stirring.
 This tanning liquor should b< made and used in glass or earther jars or wooden vessels; never il metal containers of any kind.
 When pouring in the acit do not inhale any more of tn fumes given off than necessary and be careful also not to get an. of the strong acid on the skin O clothing. AS soon as the salt-aci' solution has cooled, it is ready fo use.
 Put the cleaned, softened skill in the solution so that it is entirel covered. After one to three days

REPORTS SEX RATIO
AFFECTED BY COLD

New Haven, Sept 25-A case in
which the female of the species
succumbs more quickly than the
male, is reported in study by DR.
Philip Garman and John c.
Schreadl of the Connecticut Agri-
cultural Experiment station.
They found that the hex ratio of
the trichogramma minuta, Oriental
peach moth parasite, is upset by
exposure to temperatures below 40
degrees. Continued low tempera-
lures produce males out of proper
ton to the number of females. The
females do not hatch. For some
reason they are killed by the cold
and more than three males may
emerge for every female. The
longer the period of exposure, the
more males appear.
This was revealed in experiments
to "store" the parasites in refriger-
alton, in order to obtain production
at a future date. If they were
reared without refrigeration, the
ratio of males to females was about
/ to 3, but II the eggs were exposed
to cold, the ratio was In some in
stances completely reversed. A
small number of males Is desired.
for when the percentage of females
drops, total production fallsh off.
The difference has been estimat-
ed approximately for q second par
