render further boring unnecessary. Two more charges were exploded, 

 and the flint at the bottom was found to be broken into fragments, while 

 the tubing was entirely uninjured. The well now yields daily an ample 

 supply of water. 



Leather, boards. — Within a few years past refuse leather, in the 

 form of cuttings, scrapings, &c., from slioe and harness factories, has 

 been utilized by being converted into leather boards, which are ex- 

 tensively employed at the present time in the United States and Europe 

 for the manufacture of inner soles of shoes, and for other purposes, 

 where the material is not likely to be exposed to the wet. The process 

 of preparing these boards consists in first cleaning the scrai)S, so as to 

 free them from all foreign substances, and then softening them for a 

 time in water, to which is added some adhesive substance, such as glue 

 or gelatine. After being siif6ciently softened the scraps are laid upon 

 tin plates of the proper size, having a rim all around, and arranged 

 longitudinally and transversely, so as to make the strata nearly even, 

 until the required thickness is obtained. A number of these plates are 

 then placed one upon another and subjected to a hydraulic pressure, 

 until tne separate fragments are united into a nearly uniform mass. 

 After these layers have dried sufficiently they are passed under a roller, 

 so as to smooth them oft" and give to them the external appearance of 

 the original leather.
