B9* Making Leather from Shark's Hides. Ail industry for the making of J leather from shark's hide8 will be established at Georgetown. The promoters claim they can make a superior grade of leather at less cost. The following from the Georgetown Times Index is interesting: The establishment of a branch fishing and reduction station of the Ocean Leather Company in Georgetown is contemplated as stated by a representative of this company Mr. W. D. Chandler who has been spend* Vk j-i n.onlr hnen /kn O fl In. nig me yasi ?cca uci c vu au *uspection trip. While here he has been in close touch with Mr. J. E. McQuade and the McDonald FishCo., and it is thought that through the efforts of these parties that the company will decide to locate here in the near future. Within the course * of a week practical men from the home office in New York City will visit here and finally close the deal * . which will bring Georgetown a new industry which will mean much to the development of the county. ,, The Ocean Leather Company is the only concern producing and marketing leather made from the 8kins of sharks porpoise and other aquatic animals. The process employed is exclusively owned by this Company and is fully protected by broad and basic patents. Sea leather has stood every test and has been proven to be superior to animal leather in beauty finish, durability and tensile strength. It can be used for every purpose for which the usual leathers of commerce are now employed including shoes, portifolios hand backs, wallets, belts. razor straps, furniture covering, etc. An astonishing feature of this new industry is that the leather costs the' Company practically nothing to pro-' duce. The by-products such as fer-j tiliser stock and oil, yield a return! ? more than sufficient to cover the ex-| ^pense of producing and tanning the! skins. E\erv part of the aquatic' creature is utilized?nothing need go to waste. From the livers of the shark and the blubber of sea-animals oils are obtained which have wellknown medicinal properties and which are in demand for the manufacture of soaps, for mixing paints, and for a variety of other uses. The flesh is converted into fertilizer or dried and ground for chicken and cattle feed. As a ferti lizer inis product is ricn 111 uuiniuuia and phosphoric acid. Glue, gut for string instrument, sausage casings and certain pharmaceutical materials are among the other marketable commodities that can be produced. The Company has fishing stations at Morehead City, North Carolina, and Fort Myers, Sanibel Island, Fla. Here the waters are infested with millions of sharks, Swordfish, blackfish, and other sea creatures. It is planned to establish additional seaboard stations along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. The fertilizer, oils and other by-products are manufactured at our reduction plants in ? Morehead City and Fort Myers, SanA ibel Island, while the hides are shipw ped to the Company's tannery at Newark, N. J., where they are converted into leather. Within the course of a few weeks , definite plans will be made, it was announced by Mr. Chandler while in Georgetown this week, to begin wurn. Here as uit ^uuipaiijr must nr crease the production of the tannery as the demand of this grade of leather has become so great in the past . twelve months. o "PUSH BUTTON" WAR NOT PRACTICAL. New York, Feb. 26?"Man must continue to earn his daily bread," says Nikola Tesla, noted electrical engineer and scientist. "He will never be able tfl er?iral all of the lose energies of nature in sutdt a way as to ^ press a button and have his three '^-sninute eggs. And r.O field marshal * Tit future wars will be able to anniMBF hilate his enemy by stepping on a pedal from his swivel chair miles j away." X According to a cabel dispatch re \ ceived from London, Lord Headlej < has made public his belief that in tlu * future war may be won by an offic er in the war department buildin> delegated to push that button tha will liberate great atomic energ; which, he said science is now prepar ing to harness. This liberated energy declared th^ "Englishman, could de stroy every bit of human and ani nial life within hundreds of squar < miles. J This declaration has put many peo X pie to wondering" if it is after all pos sible and practical to invent a metho by which tlie atomic energy of th wo; Id can be made to serve the prui pcses of man. , - Nikola Tesla, whose system fo harnessing horsepower and electrica ' <1 power Is In use in practically a countries of the world, was asked t give a statement to Universal Servic on the possibility of such a feat. M. Tesla'3 statement follows: "Not having before me Lord Hea<" ley's statement, 1 cannot form an a< curat0 opinion of what he actuall meant to state, but it is evident thu l.e, in common with many other me of science, shares the belief in th possibility of harnessing atomic er ergy. "This is a subject that has excite feiucit nviciauii. iiiirn ni Milling til past thirty yoars and ba3 come Int 31 still greater prominence recently, have myself spent over twenty-fiv years in the study of this possibilit : and announced some experimental r< suits in that direction long ago, bu the conclusion I have reached is tha the harnessing of the atomic energ is one of thc most remarkable scier tific illusions that has been recorded and it is an idea involving exactly th same fallacy as that of producin perpetual motion. "While It Is practical to liberatatomic energy by certain agencief this process involves always a verj much greater amount of energy whlc' must be supplied. To tate it plainl: it is absolutely impossible to produce &, THE DILLON any machine kind of apparatus or inachine which will operate without any other external agency than by the atomic energy liberated. No Mlf-Acting Engine. "In other words, there can be no self-?cting engine based on the employment of atomic energy. But, irrespective of this, even If for purposes of destructive warfare we could liberate atomic energy, it doea not follow that it would be deadly, for the bodies might not offer any obstacle to the passage of this kind of energy. "It will be still remembered that over twenty years ago I gave the first public exhibition with currents of high frequency and high tension which now play an important role in the arts. On that occasion I passed a current of 250,000 volts through my body without causing harm, and subsequently 1 demonstrated that the energy of many thousands of horsepower could be transmitted through the human body without causing death or the slightest injury. "In like manner energy liberated, although being enormous in amount and of inconceivable intensity might not be harmful at all, any more than the passage through our bodies of the subtle agent which transmits gravitational force. Therefore, in order to destroy, the energy liberated would have to be transformed into another form of energy ? as, for instance, heat?and then there would be no advantage whatever achieved, for a great deal of energy would be wasted in the process. "V. hile I do not believe that the ' world has anything to fear from a * discovery in this direction, I do know 1 that we are coining to the use of new t means of warfare which will be im- f mensely more destructive and terrify- I ing than anything that lias been sug- I gcsted up to the present. These new means are not based on discoveries 1 which a rational mind must reject in ' advance as impossible, but they rest!' on inventions and well demonstrat- ed facts, and the carrying out of these|l new methods of warfare is simply a! matter of electrical engineering." in explaining his Ideas further Mr. Tesla said that if atomic energy were harnessed and destructive purposes in war time it would operate most likely as an explosive in its final form. 1 This would simply be getting back to the dynamite stage by a very roundabout and expensive method ] Why not lay the dynamite mines in the first place and set them off. You would get the same results. No, it is impractical to convert this atomic ] energy into such a purpose, for the j simple reason that to operate it would ; take more energy than the operation ; would finally produce, he concluded. According to his statements man need not expect to be entirely relieved of manual work. It seems as if he must go on toiling at some certain things which demand his time and strength. The push button system is great, but not quite great enough to run a war. o IMPROVEMENT IS NOW INDICATED. Fairfax Hanlson Predicts Gradual Returns of Prosperity. Chester, Feb. 25?The Hon Fair- , fax Harrison, president of the South- f ern Railway, addressing the business i. men of Chester today at a Chamber j of Commerce luncheon, said the bottom of the financial depression was ( reached the last week in January and t that each day since that time has , registered steady improvement, as in- { dicatcd by the business of the rail- ? toads. Mr. Harrison predicted a return of prosperity by September or October?not the wild, buoyant pros- perity of a year or so ago?but a safe, sane and steady state of business that will mean money and good times.
