The juice of the caoutchOuc tree I'm.
dergoes many curious mutations before
1t becomes merchantable sheet. In
large building, filed with great iron
troughs and odors far from spicy, MANY
men are at work on the rough rubber.
which is at first cut into pieces and then
partially macerated and washed clean
from impurities, emerging at length in
the form OF long strips OF q dirty-whi,e
color, not unlike fragments of I'M
bleached Turkish toweliDg. 1t is now
ready for the macerating mills, wherein
it is worked up with hot water till it as.
sumes the appearance Of the chewed
india-rubber dear to schoolboys. Asthe
macerator slowly revOlves it squeezes
from its capacious jaws dark-looking
viscid mass, only to seize it again and re-
peat the operation until the material be-
comes homogeneous, when it is ready
for the cylinders. In these it is squeezed
under heavy pressure, through sleeves of
exceeding fineness, which take up every
remaining particle of dirt or grit, and the
rubber is now ready to be rolled into
thick or thin sheets-or applied to cylin-
ders under which pass miles of silk or
cotton cloth, until, after some halfdozen
applications, a coating of sufficient thick
ness to make it waterproof has been de-
posted on the fabric-Or to be cast in
molds into valves or buffers. "Washers"
and such small deer are cut out of the
heavy sheets, which are also employed
for making the mats now SO much in
use. These are produced by q singu-
larly beautiful process applied to
sheets of vulcanized caoutchouc This
vulcanizing operation is simple enough,
consisting merely of the addition of q
quantity of sulphur-often combined
with coloring matter-to the wet paste
of rubber, followed by baking in
large iron ovens Iilled in with lime.
Charged with sulphur, the rubber is
rolled into long bands of about half the
width of the proposed mats. These
bands pass on travelling bed under
machine furnished with sharp cutters,
which lntlict stabs at regular distances,
and finally cut off the band into lengths
These are next stretched on a frame so
as to tear the wounds into almost
lozenge shaped openings, forming per
feet pattern, process far superior in
point of economy to that of punching
out the interstices, and thus involving
waste of labor and material. Stretched
on frames, the mats are now duly baked,
and on leaving the oven retain perfectly
the form imposed upon them. To this
process of vulcanizing rubber owes much
Of its adaptability to many uses of
modern life. The addition of sulphur,
followed by baking in lime, imparts to the
material the power of resisting heat, and
has extended the area of india-rubber
goods to the torrid zone Carried step
further, this process produces ebonite,
material of great hardness and density,
Of which all kinds of articles, useful
and ornamental, may be made, among
which may be mentioned the cheap imi
tations Of jet, which have the advantage
Of being far more durable than the
hydro-carbon imitated--AN the Year

SOME funny stories are told about
Foucher, the well Unknown journalist, who
recently died in Paris. He was broth
er-in-law of Victor Hugo, and was about
sixty-tive years of age at the time of his
death. A short time since Foucher at
tended the ball given by the Turkish Am
bassador in Paris, and when he was pre-
pairing to leave could not find the tag
giving the number of his overcoat his
hat, being of the opera pattern, was I'M
der his arm. He searched all his pockets
in vain. AT last, finding a Turk who
knew him, he went to the cloak room,
but the servant could not find the over
coat anywhere. SO Foucher went home
without it. On arriving at his rooms he
found it hanging in the usual place; the
fact was he went to the ball in his dress
coat only
A short time since Foucher sat down
to write an editorial, but not being able
to find his e-glasses was obliged to
postpone the matter. He fastened out
to the store of NJ. Cam, optician Rue de
la PaiX, No. "a, and asked for pair.
Let me see monsieur's number" said
the shop-keeper
Il don't know the number of the
glasses wear" was the reply.
Il will see, if you v ill hand me the
pair you are wearing" said the optician.
Wearing-wearing? said Foucher,
putting his hand up to his eyes. Good
gracious and had them on my nose all
the whie!" said the journalist, heartily
ashamed of his abstraction
Foucher wishing for cigar the other

a red light, the same as the tobacconists
show III their lanterns outside the store,
chased the vehicle up the boulevard until
he stopped il, and then discovered his

drove away, Laughing in his sleeve, no
doubt, but poor Foucher was about ten
