Making a Ruhher Sine.

Supplementary to the great shoemaking
business here is the rubber industry, for
which Boston is the great center in this
country. Forty million dollars worth of
rubber shoes and boots are sold in the
modern Athens annually The raw ma
terial comes from Para Brazil, in huge
Jumps, which the natives make by Dipping
sticks in the sap of the caoutchouc tree
and turning them round and round with
frequent plunges into the heated rubber
over hot fire. These Jumps, upon reach
ing the factory, are cut in slices, which
are run through rollers and pressed out
thin and fat like pancakes The sheets
thus obtained are next put through other
rollers, heated to high temperature, and
incidentally amalgamated with a compost
ton of lampblack, sulphur and litharge,
which reduces them to soft and putty
like consistency.
Finally, iG this soft condition, they are
passed over steel rollers bigger than any
that have gone before, and actually incor-
porated with the tissue of wooden cloth
which is destined to serve as the lining of
the eventual boot or shoe. If you Will

terms. The parts are then put together
by other workmen with rubber tape
When this much has been accomplished,
the shoe or boot is lasted in the usual
way, and, after being vanished, is allowed
to remain for eight hours in room heated
to the temperature of 235 degs. The heat
sets the varnish and tempers the rubber,
which is then termed ''vulcanized" The
stamping of the firm name on the sole is
the concluding operation, and then the
rubber shoe is ready for sale.-Boston

The Trick of a Thief,

Alittle boy was passing through Riving-
ton street the other afternoon with four
new pairs of trousers slung across his
shoulder. A man stopped him and asked
if he wanted to make five cents The boy
said he did. "Well, go up in that house
and ask for Miss Smith and tell her Mr..
Johnston is waiting to see her. I'll hold
your bundle till you come down" The
little fellow did as requested, but when
he returned neither man nor bundle was
to be found. There is gang of such
thieves at work on the east side They
have been known to take a pitcher and
pennies from a little girl sent after milk
Another of their tricks is to tell little
boy that his coat is dirty and offer to
clean it for him. The unsuspecting little
fellow will take off his coat and the thief
will make off with it.--New York Sun.

Changes of the Chameleon.

If we take three pieces of glass, and dis
tribute over one several small drops of
brown paint, by pressing on this with an
other glass, the drops are spread out, CIV
ing to the whole glass a delicate brown
tint If we now separate the glasses a
little the paint collects in drops, and the
tint partly disappears. If we take the
third glass and place on it few drops of
green paint, and then press it against one
of the others, green tint will show
through the layer of brown dots. The
skin of the chameleon is, roughly speak
ing. made up of three such layers, with
dots of pigment called chromatophores
between them. These dots may be con-
tracted or spread out in thin layers, the
resulting color depending on the color of
the chromatophores affected. The power
of adapting color to surrounding objects
is known to naturalists as protective re-
semblance," and many cases of it are to
be found in both the animal and vege-
table kingdoms. Swiss Cross.

Indian Slavery in Brazil

many Indian tribes, from whom they ac-

A Use for Floral Tributes,

Since there must, or it is thought there
must, be floral tributes to actresses, the
suggestion of New York manager that
the surplus supply be sent to hospitals is
worth needing. After doing duty as

nights, they are generally left to wither

A Lake of Hair Dyc.

Mono lake in Nevada constitutes ono
Of the greatest natural deposits of hair
dye in the known world. A white
haired old Bodie man who went down
to the lake during this summer was so
pleased with the bathing to be had
therc that he went in for swim rogu.

days work. He was down at the lake
two weeks and when ho got back his
friends hardly knew him. He loft Bodie
a white-haired old man, and ho came
back golden blonde and apparently a
man of only middle age.
All who bathe in the waters of that
lake become blondes and if tho bathing
is persisted in for any length of time
they get to be red headed. A man last
spring rented the Levining ranch on
the north side of tho lake. He has
three strapping daughters. As soon as
the water became warm enough the
girls daily went bathing in the lake
taking for their mermaid gambols q
time when the ''mon folks were all
out on the ranch at work. When they
begun taking their dips in the lake the
girls were brown haired but they soou
found themselves becoming blondes.
This 40 delighted them that they began
bething twice day and between times
washed their heads in water from the
lake. ke.-[Virginia City Enterprise.

A Tailor's Bushelman.

The city tailor who prctends to any
thing like style In his business nowa-
days, says the Brooklyn Citizen, en-
ploys word for the operation Of re.
pairing and ronovating garments which
is quite anovclty to many of his GUS
TONER'S refer to the term ''bushel-
ing" It was introduced in some estab-
lishments good many years ago but it
didn't "take'' until lately, because
probably we hadn't been generally ele-
vated to the requisite standard of as
theticism. Not only is tho business
known as "busheling' but the man
who does it is called ''bushelman," to
distinguish him from the regular tailor
who exclusively handles new work.
The word has been declared to be an
Americanism and Is so set down by
philologists, but it really originated in
England and is as good Anglo-Saxon
as Shakespeare over used. In Great
Britain the metal lining in the hub of a
wheel is called 'sbush." Its shape is,
as may be perceived, that of tailor's
thimble. In the cours, of time the
thimble itself came to be known among
some people as ''bush," and tho word
appears to hayo been introduced into
Now England by the original English
settlers Of that region. Hence the man
who used tailor's thimble got to be
known as q s'bushman'' whence tho
transition to bushcl and bushelman has
been gradual, natural and obvious. If
its use has been restricted for SO many
years, tho reason has been the prepon-
derance of Irish and German, in tho
tailoring business in New York aad
their uuacquaintance with the term. But
now that so many American tailors have
settled here from New England and so
many of them have become "bosses' in
the business tho word has been given a
fresh impetus and is hoard every whore.
1t comports too, with tho taste of the
day for choice terms in designating the
mcaner matters of life. It might DO
quite uudiguifed to send your pants
to be 'tmendcd," but there is nothing
improper in having your trousers bush

sewer obstruction by tree roots. A
map of fbrous roots was exhibited
which was taken from an obstructed
sewer in this city by Mr. Burns, of the
