A Revolution in Tanning.

The business of tanning is the next one to be revolutionized. It is about six years since it was discovered that leather could be tanned with chromic acid, or with some salt of the acid such as bichro- mate of potash, in much less time and mueh more thoroughly than by any other method. But the leather so made was hard and brittle. Lately, a German chemist, named Heinzerling, 0: Frank- fort, has perfected the chrome pro- cess, and removed ‘this objection. At a late exhibition at (slasgow of

Our Stock is first-class in every particular, and we only ask an inspection of the same to convince you that we are giving the Jeather products the main engine in the

hall was driven with a chromo-tanned, belt, and a great many specimens of the product were on show. The time re- quired to pevetrate the thickest hide by the new process is three or four days,and| the tanning process is complete in twelve: or fourteen days. When made, the leather is soft and pliable. The cost of tanning certain walrus hides, containing 150 pounds of leather each, exhibited! at Glasgow, was less than. one penny per pound. Oue great advantage of the chromo-tanned ‘eather lies in the fact that the acid cannot be dissolved out by water, whereas leather ,tanned by the ordinary vegetable pro- ‘ducts and soaked in water loses a great percentage of ifs tanning material. The chrome-tanmed leather is also found to have greater mechanical sirength by from 10 to 50 per cent than bark-tapned of the best quality. It is said also that chrome

acid has no injurious effects whatever on/|/ide public meeting at Belleville.

the feet. The only defect admitted in the process is that the leather smells unplea- santly, but this odour goes off, it is claimed, in a few days. As the process of chromo tanning is remarkably simple, the main effect of the discovery would _ be to cause a revival in the old practice ‘of tanuing hides at the plaee of produe- tion. But some further evidence con- ‘cerning the durability of the leather un- der actual wear is wanted before tanners ‘need hink of going out of business,— | Globe. | si alii teal i ite Oe Killed by an Electric Shock from a | Brush-Light Machine. (Buffalo Com. Advertiser, Aug. 8.) > One of the most peculiar accidents we have been called on to report in a long , time, occurred last night at the station ‘ofthe Brush Electric Light on Ganson! istreet. A few feet from the door is the 'generater, guarded by a railing some three feet in height. This generotor is _cons.ructed of iron and copper wire, and! | weighs about 4,800 peunds. The arma- ‘ment makes about 700 revolutions a | minute, and geverates a current equal to | 225,000 cells of a battery. On the end ‘of the machine is a brass and copper cylinder, termed a commutator, where

‘and is gathered up by six copper strips, 10 inches long and 24 inches broad,called “brushes,” These pass the current to ‘the positive pole of the instrument. | Three of these are on the side facing the, lentrance. ‘The curiosity of many visitors ‘could not be satisfied until they had ex- -perienced a shock. This is received by !several persons joining hands, thereby ‘making circuit, those on the end touch- ‘ing one of the ‘‘ brushes” when a ting- ‘ling sensation is felt’ ‘There is no dan- iger in this. Among the visitors last evening was George L. Smith, aged 90, a dock laborer. He appeared about ten o’clock and began to examine the appa- ratus. Mr. G. W. Chaeffe, who has charge of the station, neticed the man reaching over and trying to touch one of: the brushes and ordered him away. On his again attempting to reach the copper he was putout. In a, little while he came back, remarking that he proposed to stop the machine. Mr. Chaffee was engaged, and Smith, taking advantage of this, leaned over the railing in another attempt to reach the copper. He seized two strips, oue in each hand. Instantly a circuit was formed, and he dropped on to the railing rigid. Only a gasp was heard as the man fell. His hands etill grasped the strips, and Mr. Chaffee and others who rushed to his assistance found it impossible to loosen the clenched fists until tke machine had been stopped and the current cut off. It was seen at once that Smith was dead. The deceased leaves a wife and one child. He was a healthy and strong mas, but succumbed to the powerful and agency like an infant. Dr. Heffmeyer made an examination of the body. All the organs were in a nor- mal cendition, and it was found that the cause of the rashly curious man’s sudden death was asphyxia, or paralysis of the nerves ef respiration.

‘France and the Klections—Ferry and Gambetta.

M. Jules Ferry, speaking on the 10th at @ banquet held at Naucy in his honer, eaid: ‘The elections will strengthen that spirit ef wisdom which was our great strength in the past and must remain our gospel in the future.” Speaking of the intended re- vision of the constitution of France, he said: “‘I believe the country will reply that between a moderate, patLial revision—- areVision by mutual agreement, sech as was resently explained by the great orator at Tours (M. Gambetta)—and an absolute, violent and radical revision, which is the favorite idea ef the irreconcilables, there is a guif—~an abyss. The Deputies of the Left and of the union have worked to- ‘gether in the last four years. We must /not think of reducing this majority, We | must decrease the Monarchial minority by ‘fifty or sixty members, and unless these latter are replaced by irreconcilables we shall possess the united, compact majority neces. ary for the consolidation of the Re- public, which will prevent this minority from forming a single groug—a group without a name, who will prevent the framing of a wise law for the reform of the magistracy and a law on the right of association.” M. Ferry concluded his speech by drinking to the union of all republicans. He was tumultuously ap- plauded. The Gambettist Belleville Com- mittee have abandoned their an- nounced scheme of building a vast tempor- ary structure, in which M. Gambetta was to speak, ostensibly en the ground of the expense of the undertaking, but really because the growing importance of the La Creix and Revyilleus candidatures make it dangerous for M. Gambetta to face a bona He will at two private meetings on the 12th and 16ch inst., respectively, nobody being admitted without invitations. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News adds the following passage to Premier Ferry’s speech at Naucy:—‘‘If it be desired that the union of the Republicans should be cen- tinued by the will of the country it matters litte who the man may be to finish the work. Should some one be found with more powerful hand than mine to effect this union I am ready to assist him as first lieutenant.” The correspondent says this is generally understood to bea complete submission of M. Ferry to Gambetta.

A New Kind of Mosquito.

THE GOVERNOR GENERAL AND THE WINNIPEG SCOTCHMEN,

When the Marquis ef Lorne visited Win- nipeg he was invited to visit the park in which the Scottish games were being cele- brated. In reply te an address from the Scotchman of the city he said: I rejoice to see so much good Scotch bleod here to help the many other raees in filling up this wonderfully fertile lané. From what we have seen of that lovely little prairie flower whose beautiful singing have been listen- ing to here,I am glad to think there is no difficulty or danger that fu- ture generations will have te encounter from any want of population. (Great laughter.) Lassure you it is always a mat- ter of most heartfelt satisfaetien to me to meet wherever 1 go so many good, honest Scotchmen and their descendants through- out the Bominion. It isa pleasure I have experienced frem Cape Breton right through Ontario up te this point, and I believe the further IL go the mere Scetchmen | shall find. (Loud applause.) You mention in your address that a good many of you come from settlements originally founded by Lord Selkirk. Well, I may mention that the first Manitoban to greet me in the country between this and Thunder Bay was one of the settlers ef Selkirk. (Applause.) It was delighvfully pleasing to me, after a Jeng walk through the woods, to be greeted by the skirl of the bagpipes, and let me add, bagpipes uncommonly well played—I have never heard them better played, (Applause.) But there was one benighted Sassenach with me who said when he heard the pipes,‘‘Hallo,is that an- other mosquite ?” (Greater laughter.) And as soon as they stopped—you all know, of course, the sudden step peculiar to * the Scot’s national music—he showed his ignor- ance in a still more benighted fashion and exclaimed, ‘‘ Hallo, they have pitched him into the Lake.” (Boars ef laughter.) Now gentlemen, I have only to thank you for the extreme kindness and cordiality of the receptien with which you have met mw since I entered Manitoba, and I desire much to see how far the Clach Neart can be pitched on the prairies.

Pererson’s Macazixe for September is at hand, as usual, ahead of a!l others. The leading feature, for this month, is, an elegant steel engraving, ‘‘ Blind Milton Dictating Paradise Lost te his Daughters,” after the world-famous picture by Munkacsy, the great Hungarian artist. Itis aecomnanied by an illustrated article on Milton’s Life and Poetry, that is of a much higher character than euch articles ordinarily are. The usual double- size eolured steel fashion plate, a speciality of this magagine; the usual colored pattern, which, this month, is the head of Lady Wash- ington, te be worked on Java canvas; the usual array of engravings of the fashions, pat- terns for the work-table, etc., etc., make up the other embellishments. Among the stor- ies, there isa powerful one, ‘* The Crimson Phisl,” by Lucy H Hcoper; and two novel- ets, ‘‘ The Siege of Yorktown,” by Mary Y. Spenegr, and ‘‘The Amerivan Countess,” by Ann S, Stephens, are continued ; but all the stories, in fact, are goed.
