Indeed, it is to the novel or the play that the title means most. The French are adept in thissort uf thing. "L'Homme qui Rit" is one example of a felicitous ahoice. The titles of some modern plays, such as "Le Monde ou lon s'ennuie" and "Un Verre d'Eau," are other examples. However, we need not go so far afield for happy selec tions.

One of the largest hides ever tanned is 8 feet wide and 14 fee: long and weighs 7(m pounds. It is one of a dozen or ,more waIlrit hides brought to this city five years ago by a whaler from the arctic. Twelve years ago experiments were made on the hide of the walrus. and it was conclusively proved that it could be tanned. Then came the question of a market for the leatlhr. which was seldom less than an inch in thickness. Local silversmnitsl found it an excellent substitute for the old style emery wheel, and from the first it was a success, used as a means of polishing silverware and, surfacing precious stones. Once a use was found for it the price ad vanced until 1th, it had reached five dollars a poutel. Other tirns corn missioned captains of whalers to se cure hides for thenm. and with com petition the prices t i tUe tanned hides receded to tlhree d(,llts a polund. at which figure it is notw juotu in the eastern markets. The green huIes are enllorllou atlal cumbersome. weighing flromll ., to 700 pounds each. The pl'o.uc- oft tanning them is tile saue as ti.a' used for ordinary leathitr .uae that the walrus hides are laid away for six months out of the twelve, and it takes five years to comllete the pro ~ess of curing. The average run of the hides in thickness is from three to four inches when green. When tanned they run from two to three inches in thickness.-San Francisco Chronicle Birds Fand I.a New Zenialad.
