A good many kinds of leather aro
got from sea creatures, some of
which are very curious and beauti-
ful. The skin of sharks is a beauti-
ful burnished gray tar bluish color.
The surface resembles finely grained
leather, inaamuoh as it shows many
tiny prickles set all one way. - They
are quite invisible to the naked eye,
but there are so many and they are
so finely set that you distinctly feel
the roughness of the surface if you
rub your hand over. the skin in the
direction opposite to that in which
the prickles point.
This property of shark skin ren-
ders it especially valuable to the
manufacturer of a'shagreen." Since
the skin is et once tough and easy
to work, it can be used for many
purposes where decorative effects.
are desired.
In spite of its lumpy armor, the
sturgeon furnishes 'a valuable and
(attractive leather. It has been
found that when the bony plates are
removed, the patterns remain on
the skin, just as the patterns of alli-
gator scales remain on alligator
leather, a circumstance that adds
greatly to the value of the product.
From the sturgeons that abound on
our Pacific coast and in the Great
Lakes, we get a tough leather that
is useel for the making of laces to
join leather belting for machinery.
It is said that the lacing frequently
outwears the belting itself.
There is found in Turkish waters
a strikingly unattractive fish called
the angel -fish, classed among the
littoral sharks• This fish yields an
extremely high quality of green
leather, much esteemed in the Otto-
man dominions.
In Russia certain peasant cos-
tumes are trimmed -with the skins
of a food fish, the turbot, and in
Egypt men wear sandals made from

Gloucester from the skin of the

pet'.
Eelskin is useful for mane Put' -
poses, among them the manufacture
of leather binding for books and for
braiding into whips.
The garfish, a fish ,'found along our-
coasts,
urcoasts, has a skin that can be- pol-
ished till it resembles ivory. It is
used in making picture -frames and
jewel -caskets. The skin of this fish
was used by certain of our Indian
tribes to make a sort of armor. It
is so tough and hard that, accord-
ing t0 s0ille accounts, a breast -plate
made of it will turn a knife or a
spear.
Queer uses are made of the intes-
tines of the walrus and the sea -lion.
The Eskimos make the former into
sails for their boats, and the latter
they slit and stitch together, to form

The :Prayer mat used by Gen.
Gordon when Governor of the
Sudan, from 1875 to 1879, was•pre-
sented to Bishop Gwynne by one of
the Gordon family. The mat will
be carefully framed so as to exclude
dust and hong on the wall at the
Gordon memorial chapel of the caul
edral at Khartum. It was first
hoped that the mat night be kept
in the sanctuary 'of the chapel and
used as a kneeling plat. It has
been found, however; that the wear
and tear of such use and exposure
to the sandstorms and other trials
of the climate would certainly short-
en its existence.

There is no such thing as the solar
constant, This will be crushing
news to many people who had.,im-
plicity believed that the solar con-
stant was i8 thing like death and
taxes on which they could absolute-
ly rely. But itis not. The sun has
been proved to be a variable star.
So instead of a solar constant there
is what might be called a solar in-
constant. How much the sun var-
ies cannot, says the Washington
Star, be said outside narrow limits.
There is a variation about every ten
days -of practically the same amount
as the variation of the pole star.
But the record of the variations has
not yet been kept long enough to
base long range weather forecasts
on its
Now

Now that the inconstancy of the
sun has been divulged - there is a
chance that in the course of a few
thousand or possibly a few hundred
years one may be able to forecast
the weather with reasonable accur-
acy months in advance of the crop
seasons. This would be a great ad-
vantage, as any farmer will realize,

The Season's Weather Forecast.
The scientists of the Smithsonian
who niade the discovery say also
that 11 the Greeks in the time of
Aristotle or, better still, that Baby-
lonian monarch who first popular-
ized the dairy lunch had possessed
instruments of sufficient precision
to make the observations that are
being made now we might at the
present time be able to make use of
the sun's variation in forecasting
the weather. Unfortunately, the
observations have been going on
only about a decade and it is only
within the last year or so that the
sun was identified as a variable
star.
This discovery was the work of
Dr. Charles G.' Abbott, in charge
of the astro-physical laboratory. Ob-
servations were begun here in 1903.
and in 1905 were carried to Mount
Wilson, Cal., where the. atmospher-
ic conditions are much better. It
was thought at first that there was
a constant radiation of heat from
the sun and that the temperature
of the earth was affected only by
local atmospheric conditions. It was
felt, however, that the radiation of
the sun varied within about ten de-
grees and the astro-physical labor-
atory thereupon established a sta-
tion in northern Algeria, where si-
multaneous observations were made
with those ab Mount Wilson. It
was found that the variation in ra-
diation was practically

It was found that sun spots in-
creased the amount of heat given of(
from the sun. This was rather sur-
prising at first because when the
sun is most spotted it might be as-
sumed that its heat would be most
obscure. 1t is explained, ho\vever,
that sun spots probably, like pok-
ing fire, merely tend to bring more
heat to the surface.
Another thing that -has been dis-
covered is that volcanic disturb-
ances on the earth tend to lower the -
aniount of radiation received from
the sun. There have been a num-
ber of heavy volcanic outbreaks
since the observations have been in
progress and this has always been
accompanied by a reduction in heat.
The explanation given for this is
that the cloud of volcanic dust re-
flects Lilo radiationth. and prevents its
