Hats Madb tbosc Babbit Skins.—Some months ago (says the "Daily Times") Mr V. Alnaao, of Dunedin, sent a large shipment of rabbit skins to a well-known New York firm of hat manufacturers for the purpose of testing their value for felting purposes. A few days einoe he received a consignment of black American felt hats irom the firm in question, the felt of whioh they are made having been manufactured from the New Zealand rabbit fur. The htta are of first class quality, and can be sold at a reasonable price, so that the experiment must be re garded as a decided success. Mr Almao will shortly send another shipment of 3000 rabbit skins to America.
