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.

"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.

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.
