DRESSED SEALSKIN.
'The Way This Beautiful Fur Is
Brought to Perfection.
If a lady's sealskin jacket be com-
pared with the coarse, hard or dry -
salted sealskin as imported, or, still
better, with the coat of ,the living fur
seals, one is struck With the vast dif-
ference between them.
Passing our fingers among the hairs
of the cat or dog, we may netice fine
short hairs at the roots of the longer,
-coarser general covering of the animal.
'This is so called under. fur. But in the
greater number of these animals the
short hairs are so few and often so fine
as to be, comparatively speaking, lest
sight of among what to our eyes con-
stitutes the coat.
The operation which the skin under-
goes to •bring out, so to say, the fur,
may be briefly described as follows:
The skin, after being washed to rid it
of grease and so forth, is laid fiat on
the stretcb, flesh side up. A flat knife
Is then passed across the flesh sub-
stance, thinning it to a very consider-
-able extent. In doing this, the blade
severs the roots or the long strong
hairs, which penetrate the skin deeper
than do the soft, delicate ones under
the fur. The rough hairs are then got
-rid of while the fur retains its hold.
• A variety of subsidiary manipula-
tions, in which the pelt is softened and
preserved, are next gone through, and
then the fur undergoes a process of
-dyeing which produces that deep uni-
arorm tint so well known and•addired:

Mr. Low refers at some length

Colutabia and to his visit to Mexico
to attend the International Geological
Congress. Proceeding, he says :-"It
can be said without fear of exaggera-
tion that the condition of the nutting

one of large prosperity, that it has, in
fad, achieved greater progress and
given bigger returns than during any

1905 the total mineral output reached
almost $70,000,000, as compared with

Kingston is the eapital of the Island
of Jamaica and the pricipal 'seaport
drid-ddrrillidMittl city of that itilandaft-
is situated on the south coast and on
the mirth side of a fine harbor. The
latter is a land -locked basin, avail,
able for the begot ships, .and is era
closed on the south by a long tongue
of land at the extrernity of which, is
Port Royal. The population of lainge
ston is about 50.000.
The only volcano formation on the
island is that at the Low Layton and
Retreat estates in the Parish of Port-
land, a mile from the eea, in the
County of Surreys. In which Kingston
is situated.
In 1692 a great earthquake destroy-
ed Port Royal, of whose 3,000 hinnies
only 200 remained standing, Itwas•
this catastrophe which led to the
founding of Kingston.
In 1872 a severe conflagration visit-
ed Kingston, destroying property vale -
ed at $2,500,000, and in 1843 another
fire caused damage of about $15,000,-
000.
In Aegust, 1880, a cyclone destroy-
ed nearly all the wharvee in Kingston
harbor and damaged' shipping.
There was double earthquake at
Kingston on Dec. 7, 1880. A tremend-
ous hurricane visited Jamaica in 1815.
The island was deluged, hundreds of
houses were washed away, vessels
wrecked and about 1,000 persona
drowned.
Kingston is laid out with regular
and wide streets, and the better class
of houses are neatly built, with wide
verandahs and surrounded. by hand-
, some gardens. Street cars run to the
t suburbs, and two lines of railway con-
, nect the city with the northern and
eastern parts of the island.
- -Kingston has a botanicaL garden
library, museum, hospital and various
• other public buildings, and is the
seat of an •Anglican bashopric.
The harbor is considered to• be one
,of the finest in the world, and is pro-

as its capital. The surface is generally
mountainous; the:Blue Mountable in
the east rising to a height of over

among its chief exports sugar, tuna

is overwhelmingly negro, the white
population numbering only about 30,-
