How the Africans Make Rubber.

The coast region north and south Of
the Congo is becoming quite an impor-
tant source of caoutt houc. 1t is pro.
duced by a giant tree creeper, which
grows principally along the water
courses. 1t covers the highest trees,
and frequently considerable extents OF
forest are festooned down to the
ground, from tree to tree, in all direc-
tions, with its thick stems, like great
hawsers. Sometimes its stem is as thick
as mans thigh. Above, the trees are
nearly hidden with its large glossy
leaves of dark green hue, and studded
with beautiful punches of pure white
star-like flowers, most sweetly scented.
It's fruit is of the size Of large orange,
yellow when ripe, and perfectly round,
with hard brittle shell; inside it is full
of soft reddish PIP of an agreeable
acid flavor, much liked by the natives.
1t is not easy to obtain ripe seeds, as the
creeper is favorite resort OF villain
Gus, semi-transparent, long legged red
ant-with singing bite, like the prick
of red hot needle-which is very fond
of the pulp and the seeds distributed
through it.
Every part of the creeper yields q
milky Juice when wounded; but, unlike
the American rubber tree, this milky
sap will not run into vessel placed to
receive it. It dries so quickly that
ridge is soon formed over cut, and the
flow arrested. When collecting it, the
natives make long cuts in the bark with
q knife, and as the sap gushes out they
wipe it off ,ntinually with their fin
gers and smear it on their arms, shoul-
ders, and breasts, until thick covering
is formed. Then they peel it off and
cut it into small squares for transporta-
ton.
