In all kinds of hat-making the French excel, and in such ccutres as Anduze, Lyons, and Paris the trade is very ex- tensive and important. In the United Kingdom the felt lit trade is principally centred at Denton and other locali- tics in the neighbourhood of Manchester, and in America the States of New York and New Jersey enjoy the greater part of the industry. The value of the hats annually exportel from the Unitel Kingdom somewhat exceeds £1,000,000 sterling.

Educated at the monastery of Ellwangen or at Fulda, he attracted the attention ,of the em;eror Arnulf, who in made him abbot of Reichenau, in abbot of Ellwangen, and in archbishop cf Mainz. During his reign Hatto acquired much ecclesiastical as well as political power. He presided over the council at Tribur or Teuver, at which the emperor and twenty-six or twenty-seven bishops attended, and was employed as ain- bassador to Charles the Simple and the king of Lorraine at their conference at Saint Goar in, Twice he accum- panied Arnulf to Italy, in and. On the death of Arnulf in, Hatto beeame regent and guardian of Louis, and in the contest with the dukes of Babenberg treacher- ously betrayed into the emperor’s hands Count Adalbert, who was one of their partisans. Under Louis’s successer, Conrad I., Hutto retained his influence, but he died in , two years after Conrad’s accession. Another but less pro- bable account has it that he was killed at the battle of Heresburg in. Hatto wasa zealous churchman and a bold and energetic statesman. By his influence the crown and the church combined to check the growing power of the great nobles. In a letter to Pope John IX., still extant, he defends the German bishops from certain charges made to the pope. There is a tradition, due probably to his ambition and violence, that his corpse was seized ly the devil and thrown into the crater of Mount Etna. The tradition of the Mouse Tower on the Rhine at Bingen is connected with another Hatto, also archbishop of Mainz (–).
