rubber frees In Nicaraura.

A forest of rubber trees may be

precious juice per year and retain its
vitality. When one of these improv-
ident fellows makes a discovery,
however, only few months suffice
to place his bonanza In the ranks of
the many that have gone before. In
consequence you may traverse these
forests from end to end without see
ing a virgin tree.
The ordinary specimen of Nicara-
qua is from so to 100 feet high and
about 2 feet in diameter The bark
is white and the leaves oval, with a
slight inclination downward Til,
cuts are made about 2 feet apart and
generally extend from the ground to
the first branch, channels being
scored in the sides to lead the juice
into bag. The average yield of a
tree Is from to z gallons of milky
fluid This is mixed with the juice
of the ''wisth, " which hastens con-
geIation After this operation the
crude rubber is baled up and shipped
north to be refined and further pre-
pared for commerce-W. n. King,

PRESSURE or a nrtilion Pound..

Some interesting experiments were
made at the Washington university
with the largest hydraulic testing
machine in the world. It can exert
a pressure of ]. 0e0, 600 pounds. Tim
bers such as are used for pillars in
large commercial buildings were
crushed, not broken, lengthwise. A
piece of timber capable of sustaining
5000 persons was crushed like an
eggshen when placed in the machine.
The best brick piers 2 feet square,
columns of granite foot square,
and sandstone 8 feet square are
ground to powder with the greatest
ease. The machine was designed by
Professor j. B. Johnson, who oc-
cupies the chair of consulting en-
gineer in the university, for the pur-
pose of pursuing Investigations being
made by the government of the

grown in the United States. The
specimens crushed form part of an

A case of "Hoodooinr.r

A young writing master from Den

Hawk Eye schoolhouse. A crowd of
boys of the neighborhood procured a
spool of thread, and unwinding what
they needed attached one end to a
nail under the caves of the roof.
Then, getting sufficient distance from
the house to avoid detection, one be-

A Possible Explanation OF Remarkable
sight In Central Africa
Reference to monkeys reminds one
of that wonderful procession seen by
the pasha, where each carried a torch
to light him IN his depredations
among the cornfields- a story which
one man explains by referring it to
Emin's defective eyesight, another tc
a possibility of monkeys being able
to produce fire by friction.
Without giving any opinion regard
ing the accuracy of the observer, a
statement made to me by South
American native, a Pondonusi, may
throw as much light upon it as all
our science At the timeI paid little
attention to it, and indeed it passed
quite from my mind till came across
the pasha's story In Mr. SANKEY'S
book 1t was, so far as I can recol
lect, in the following words the con
nectiOn in which it was told Is of nc
importance:
The master is surprised. There
are monkeys in the mountains 0he
georges of the Drakensberg) that &c
to the fires that men leave in the
bush and carry away burning sticks.
They even go up the trees with them
and then throw them down have
not seen it myself, but have heard
say that when women leave a fire
near the edge of the bush they come
out to the grass openly with burning
pieces of wood and play with them.
Some say they carry them back tc
the fire to make them burn better"
If this is true and sober version
of what Is not uncommon, a little less
science and a little more ordinary in
tercourse might have saved the emf
nent If erraic German a good deal OF
idle speculation. One can quite fancy
monkeys playing with frebrands
found near the edge of the forest,
carrying them off in their march tc
the cornfields, to cast them aside
when the work of depreciation began.

THE FIRST PRINTED BOOK.
Eighteen Copies of the Bible That Are
HeIdpat Enormous Prices.

Eighteen Copies of the Bible That Are
HeIdsht Enormous Prices
It is a remarkable as well as a most
interesting fact that the very first
use to which the discovery of print
ing was applied was in the produc-
ton of the Bible. This work was ac-
complished at Nientz some time be-
tween the year 1440 and 1445 by Gu
tenberg, the inventor Of the art, and
one Faust, goldsmith, who fur
nished the funds necessary to carry
on the work. If this first attempt at
printing had been but a single page,
there would be less occasion to mar
vel at its production, but when it is
known that the work was sent out
intwo folio volumes, ON paper of great
strength, fneness of texture and real
beauty, in ink that still holds its lus-
ter, and a register that the best mod
ern job printer would find difficulties
in excelling, the true character and
marvellous nature of the undertaking
become apparent.
The work contained ,2S0 pages,
and as it was the first effort at a
new art must have involved an i'm
mense amount of mental and me-
chanical labor.
OF these relics of Gutenberg and
Faust 1S copies are known to still be
in existence. Four of these are
printed ON vellum. OF the velIum
copies two are in England, one be-
ing in the ''GreenviIle Collection of
Biblical Curios," the other in the
British museum. The third is safe
lyhoused IN gold, glass and mahog-
any case IN the Royal library at Ber-
lin, the other in the rooms of the
Royal institute at Paris.
OF the IA remaining copies 10 are
in England, there being copies in
each of the following libraries: Ok
ford, Edinburgh, London and Brigh-
ton. The six still remaining are in
the collections of different book fan
cying mobiles. One of the four vel
Ium copies changed hands in 1877,
the consideration being sum equal
to Sc, 500 In United States currency.
The only copy of this famous book
on this side of the Atlantic, as far as
1 have been able to learn, is that in
the library of the late John Lenox,
New York city. This copy was pur
chased by a Mr. Davidson at a Lon
don book auction in the year 1913. 1t
cost Mr.. Lenox about g, 200, indie
pendent of outside expenses, and on
account of its antiquity and its con
nection with the early history of the
printers art was admitted duty free.

What a chinaInan Does Not Like.

Chinese names are peculiar, " said
p j. Allen of San Francisco. ''One
would think they were very simple
from reading the Ling Lungs, Sam
Lees and Wong Chings on the win
dows of Chinese laundries. But these
are not Chinese names at all. They
are MONS DIES affaires- business names
merely. Their owners have other
names, their real, their family
names, by which, and by which only,
are they known to their friends in
private. 1t doesn't make any differ
ence to a Chinaman what name you
call him, SO that you give him your
shirts to wash and do not designate
him by that, to him, contemptuous
