Production of India Rubber.

A writer in the Journal of the Soci-
ETY. of Arts says that the finest caout-
chouc of commerce is not the produce
of any species Indigenous to India,
but is produced by the HeVea Brazil
ienSis. Attempts are being made to
procure and introduce this species.
The caoutchouc of India is produced
from the FScuS eEdSticd, which grows
naturally in northeast Bengal, in Chit
TAGGING, am in Cachar, from which dis
trict a good deal is said to come. It may
be seen in parts of Sikkim, where in
the moist but rocky side valleys of the
torrents that feed the Teesta and the
Mahanadi the huge stems stretch down
straight to the ground or twine in fam
tastic groupings of contorted roots.
These have originally started from a
young plant, long ago produced from
seed deposited in the topmost fork of
some tall terml59ldLiG or toon tree, which
has in the course of years been smoth-
cred by the giant growth. In nature
the FIcuS eldSticG is always found
towering above other trees, from the
circumstance of it's epiphytic origin.
When once it has got its firm hold it
sends down aerial roots that become
stems, and thus q single tree will form
a grove covering half an acre in extent.
The chief habitat for rubber is in the
moist lower hill forests of Assam and
in the moist forests of Burma beyond
British territory. It is we'll known that
the rainfall of Burma steadily dimin-
ishes towards the north, till at last it
ceases about the region of Paghan In
the Irrawaddy; but thence again, in
fuenced by the mountain masses to the
north, it again increases: it is. in the
moist forest of the northern rainy zone
that the FEcaGs eLdSticG occurs. 1t has
recently been reported that climbing
species of WSILUgh6ejG, yielding caout-
cbouc, has been found in forests In |
Burma. In Assam the FIc,ks eLdSticG |
is found in both the forests of the Him |
alayas and in the low valleys of the |
Naga hills. The Indian caoutchouc has |
hitherto been collected by persons buy |
ing the right not only to collect it, but |
claiming also to monopolize the pur |
chase of that brought from foreign ter |
ritory, and this has given rise to many |
disputes. The greater number of trees |
are in the territory of some independent |
mill tribes, who bring the India rubber
in and sell it. At present the collection |
in British territory has been stopped, |
partly owing to complications arising
out of the monopoly, but partly because
of the enormous waste and the injury
inflicted by overlapping the trees and
working them at the wrong season. 1t
is to be hoped that this fine source of
revenue will not long remain in allegiance
but that the management of the whole
work may be intrusted to the forest
department..
TheyIeldi in Assam amounted in 1873 to
II, 900 maunds and in Sikkim to 700
The trees do not form pure
forests, but are scattered one here and
one there the best forests containing
hardly twenty trees to a square mile.
They are cut al over with knives, both |
on the stem and on. +l>A I~=s<-

How Teeth are SpOilt.

Extra fine -four is nearly destitute of
phosphate OF lime, and will not make
teeth oatmeal is much richer in bone
material. The London Medical Record
says: "It has long been noted in this
country that in those districts where
the use of oatmeal in place of wheat
-four prevails, We find children and
adults with the best developed teeth
and jaws and SO well recognized is the
influence of oatmeal upon the teeth
that many practitioners order its use as
an article of daily diet for children in
cases where dentition is likely to be
either retarded or imperfect. Defective
teeth are more common than defective
bones but both complaints are un-
fortunately too we'll known where fash
ion and civilization deprive children
and adults of the very thing nature
demands to form and preserve through
life sound teeth, and soundness in all
other organs. Very fine family -four,
corn starch, rice, tapioca, arrow root,
sugar in all its forms, with cream, but
ter, and lard-living on the fat of the
land-operates to make dentistry a lu-
crative profession, and fill the mouths
of thousands with masticators formed
of porcelain or metal. Men and women
have so changed constitutionally that a
decayed tooth, infamed in nerve, and
full of pain, represents the most ad-
vanced humanity. The remedy is plain
enough, but how many will go back to
oat meal cakes and brown bread for the
sake of health, comfort, and long life :?

Dig better" we have pretty good prai-
RE gopher. The holes they dig are
| small, but many of them, like the bur-
rows OF the badgers, foxes, and prairie
| wolves, will admit horses boof. In
some regions so numerous are these
holes that it is impossible to gallon a
hundred yards except at the risk Of life
or limb.
1t is GOt easy to determine what par
ticular kind of ground the gophers
most affect. Passing over a sterile,
cactus-ridden, alkali. laden waste" says
Dr. Coues, "there would be so many
that would say, this suits them best;'
III camp that very night, in some low
grassy spot near water, there they would
be plentiful as ever" If the animals
have any preference, it is a choice of
the lighter and more easily worked soils;
and they seem to haunt especially the
slight knolls of the prairie few feet
above the general level. One gopher
to the hole is the universal rule, nor
has the author ever seen any signs of a
burrow being occupied by pair.
The female brings forth in June, but |
the young are never seen outside of the |
burrow till July, when they are about |
two thirds grown. The number of |
young produced at birth is supposed |
to be abont eight.
DIR. Coues is of the opinion that the |
gopher is torpid during most of the |
winter. The animal hoaI dis up food, it |
is true, but not in sufficient quantity to
suffice for so active creature during an
entire winter. The author has often

The Prairie Gopher.

Among the burrowing species b: long
ing to the squirrel family, the praire
gopher (Spern1o1ohiIus RichardsoaD
holds prominent rank. Though one of
the most abundant animals in our coun-
try, infesting hundreds of thousands
of square miles Of territory, almost to
the exclusion of other mammalian forms
the prairie gopher has but lately re-
ceived the honor of an adequate desclip-
ton. This service has been rendered
by DIR. Elliott Doues in the pages of the
American Naturalist. The habitat of
the prairie gopher appears to extend
from the Red river of the North to the
Rocky Mountains. and from latitude 38
deg. to 55 deg. So numerous are they
in Dakota and Montana that according
to DR.. Coues, should certain portions
of these territories ever be settled, the
little gophers will contend with the
husbandman for the 1o-- --~a;@

The Duty Of Life.

He who has low and unworthy idea
of his nature will act unworthily while
he who feels how great is the life OF q
being made in the image of God Will
not readily blot and blur that image. II
any one be told that he cannot choose
the right and love the true, and live out
the pure, he will feel that if it be SO,
to try is hopeless work. But we are
very sure that 1t is not SO, else how
could there dwell within us sorrow and
unquiet after doing wrong, if we do not
feel that we can do, and ought to do,
the right ? If such chilling unfaith in
themselves and in their kind had been
in the heart of the sanity men whose
lives have blest the world who, like
salt, have kept the mass from decay !;
how, think you, could they have dared
and done? They had faith in man as
the fruit of faith in the God who made
him they felt that the life of man is not
what it will one day become, and this
it was that fired them to earnest effort
in the service and salvation of their fell
lows, and TO help on the time when
earth shall be the paradise it never has
been yet
Who rowing hard against the stream,
Saw distant gates of Eden CLEAN,
And did not dream it was dream.
It is the faith OF such men, some of
whose lives have been looked at in this
book, that you and I must share. Life
is full of duty, and to do well the work
that lies close at hand is to fulfil the
purpose for which we were sent here.
The weakest and youngest amongst us
is power for good as well as for evil,
and it should be our aim to do our part
on the side of ever-increasing human
goodness against ever lesseniDg human
badness. There is but one life, if life
it may be called, which seems to me to
be God -forsaken it is the life that is
idle or selfish. Those few words express
more than one might think, but their
has been set to sweeter music |

The History of Glass,

Taken in connection with the glass
exhibited in Japan, and said to be over
one Thousand years old, an article by
NJ, de Foville in the Economists Fran
oaise may be read with interest. That
gentleman says that France long re-
mained indebted to italian art in the
matter of glass, although in the sixth
century drinking glasses were manu-
factured at Paris and Quiquengrogne.
But in 1912 we find a Dauphin paving
for little glass service for his daugh-
ter Diana the price of an OK. Some of
the most curious windows in the
Gothic cathedrals date from the thir-
teenth, twelfth, and even eleventh cen.
turies, but it was only under Louis
XIV. that France appropriated the
secret of those exquisite productions
Venice sold her for their weight in
gold. There are now in France IT'S
glass manufactures, without counting
seven manufactures of looking glasses.
Every year on an average 125, 900, 900
bottles are made, and 50,OOO,OOO of
these. filed with good wine, find their
way abroad, together with about 90
900, 600 empty bottles. Forty years
ago 100 bottles cost about so francs;
now they cost half that price. Accord
ing to M. de Foville, the invention of
glass deserves to rank with printing and
steam as an agent of civilization
and refinement, for it rendered indoor
life possible. There are proofs, he
gays, that glass existed in the early days
of Christianity, but it was an excep-
Gonal luxury which did not survive the
Roman empire. The window pane re-

churches under the form of small
lozenges Of equivocal transparency. At
the castle of duke of Northumberland,
in 1867, say the writer, there were a
Jew glass windows, which use to be put
in when his grace was at home; and
not century ago there existed in
France corporation of Chassissiere,"
whose profession was to put in the win
dows of oiled paper. It was only in
1710 that glass panes in wooden frames
were used.

have the fullest benefit of their sojourn
by the sea. bungalows can be worked
and kept clean with very small amount
of labor, as many contrivances ii dimin-
ish servants work have been introduced.
To keep out the damp, to which houses
by the seaside are liable, two thin walls
are built, with space of about three
inches between them. IN the center of
this space a close screen of slate is
fitted, and all the moisture blown
through the outer wall is stopped by
this screen, and trickles down to the
bottom. The inner wall consequently
remains quite dry, for the moisture does
not blow through the slate, and the
bungalow is habitable whatever the
weather,
