as young America graphically expresses
it. The boys were not allowed to leave
the dooryard unless they were securely
shackled to the parsons hand.
Well. one day boyish nature asserted
itself, and they ran away. AS might be
expected, they Immediately gravitated

SOMETHING BIG IN RUBBER.

A Single "Biscuft'' That Weighs Over .
Thousand Pounds and Cost 91,01O.
The biggest "biscuit" of rubber ever
seen in North America is on exhibition
in store in Warren street. It came
from the upper Amazon, weighs tride
over thousand pounds and cost its
owners 81, 010. Around its largest cir
conference it measures 10 feet, being
composed of successive layers that form
a practically solid mass throughout
There Is enough rubber in the lump to
make 5000, 900 election" bands, or,
II made into a single string, there is
enough to make a line which would
reach $50 miles.
Although the biscuit is now perfectly
black, it was pure white, like the juice
of the milk weed, when taken from the
tree. The native who made the lump
first drove two crotched stakes in the
ground at a distance of ten feet apart,
and in the crotches he rested smooth
pole. Then he built fire midway be-
tween the posts, in such a position as
w OOA4NO4IA c4NO NA4C 4C<1t al Lx10 CSAUCr vi
the crosspiece. The rubber, in its fluid
consistency, was poured on the hottest
surface of the stringer, and as it felt
the warmth of the fire it CONCEALED
By turning the pole slowly around the
layer of rubber took its present shape,
which is that of a big, overgrown bis
cult.
It is slow work turning the stick and
co0gealing the rubber, and a whole
day is consumed in making a single
layer. 1t took forty days to complete
the biscuit In question, for, besides
hardening it, it had to be cured and
smoked by processes very similar to
those used in curing and smoking hams
The Amazon natives use a peculiar
bark to effect the curing process, which
Is burned in the fire, and which i'm
parts certain properties that prepare
the rubber for preservation.
The rubber which Is here described
smells 80 much like the ordinary sugar
cured ham that one could not tell the
difference If blindfolded. In this re-
spect the rubber from the Amazon DOS
sesses a distinct superiority over that
from Africa In the latter country the
natives seem to know nothing what
ever about the curing and smoking
process, and the result is that their
rubber has an indescrbably vile odor.
In preparing this big lump for CON-
mercial use it will be first put into the
grinder or mill, where it will undergo a
treatment very like that of mastication.
This makes it pliable. It will then be
put into a calendar. where it will be
aattened and drawn out into the re-
quired size and shape. after which it
will be cut up into the shapes used in
commerce. York Times.

EAGER FOR STATEHOOD.

Four Territories Are at the DOor-Bills
win Be Introduced for the Admission
of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and ok
lahoma.
WASHINGTON, Dec IS Among the
measures to be presented in the house
soor after it reassembles in January
are bills for the admission of four
of the territories still remaining out
of the union. These territories are
Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Okla
bona, and their claims for statehood
will be urgently pressed, not only by
their respective delegates bat by
committees of representative citizens,
who are expected here for that pur-
pose.
Arizona and New Mexico have been
applicants Tor admission since the
Forty-ninth congress, but their appli.
cations have been repeatedly denied on
the ground that the population of each
was not sufficient to warrant state
form of government.
oklahoma is very much in earnest,
although less than two years old. A
delegation from the new territory is
already here, and as soon as bill for
statehood can be introduced additional
representatives will come to the capi-
tai to strive with congress. AS soon as
all the Indian lands now purchased are
opened to settlement the area of the
territory will be about equal to that of
Ohio. The population, it is claimed, is
already as great as that of Arizona,
New Mexico or Idaho.
Utah is not expected to make Wig
orous fight. The political situation in
that territory is so badly mixed that it
is difficult to predict what the complex
ion of the PR pective state might be.
Furthermore, the eradication of poly
gamy has not been fully completed.
Utah will join the other territories in
the effort to attain statehood but her
success is more doubtful than that of
all the rest The committee on terri
tories will have to listen to the several
applicants as usual, but present indi-
cations are tina. many deaf ears viii be
turned to their entreaties.
