MEN WHO MAKE RUBBER.
They Might Earn SIS Day by Exert
ing Themselves.

Few people ever give thought to how
much of our comfort nowadays depends
on few lazy. sleepy South American ma
tiyes along the Amazon River. says the
New York Journal. Half the mechanism
of orr daily life would come to stop were
there a rubber famine. The hundreds of
thousands of bicyclists. for instance, would
have to Jolt along on rigid, springless
wheels, and a universal wall would arise
from millions OF babies deprived of their
feeding bottles.
The men who make the rubber in the
iungles of Brazil can earn SIS day when
they choose to work. They toll as little as
their necessities will permit, however. and
for that reason the supply of this article is
always far below the demand. Many trees
in various parts of the world yield the
caoutchouc milk. but none in such guam
titles as in the seamy, luxuriant iungles
along the Amazon.
There natives cut gashes in the bark and
place under the wound little clay dish.
The milk which rms out, if examined un-
der the microscope, is found to De sap, in
which are suspended millions of tiny glob-
ules of liquid caoutchouc. In three days
the trees will bleed about six ounces. The
fluid is collected and taken home, where
the native operator evaporates the surplus
moisture and reduces the caoutchouc to
the condition so familiar to raw india
rubber.
He has a wooden mold on the end of a
stick; and having dipped this in the milk,
he dries it in fire OF oily nuts, forming
thin, elastic film over the mold. He keeps
on adding to this By repeated dippings
and cooking over the fire until solid cake
of rubher.is the result. An expert will
make six or seven pounds an hour, but the
native will work at his leisure. Every sort
of food or commodity in these districts
has to be imported and brings high
price. Thither find their way, eve :, .ually,
most of the gay-colored ties that changing
fashions leave upon the dealers hands in
New York and London. Often a native
will wear one of these, which will cost him
81 or s.. and little other clothing. 1t seems
a charming and idyllic sort of existence.
but no white man can Withstand the
fevers, and so the lazy natives have mo-
nopoly OF their trade

A ubiquitous Phrase.

The excessively plump gentleman had
gone into the clothier's TO get ready
made coat.
.I always come here, !" he said affably to
the saiesman; Its the only place in town
where can get garments big enough for
me-"
Eyes, sir; remember your size. Bov. /"
he shouted to an attendant, bring me one
of those sixteen TO one coats"
II don't want q political platform:
want coat"
That's all right, sir"
"And I'm a gold-standard man anyhow.
I don't see that you've got anv business
to try to ring in any campaign badges on
me-"
This isn't the same sixteen to one, /" re-
piled the clerk. s.It's little exaggera
ton we employ to designate an extra large
size"
What does it mean2"
Sixteen yards of cloth to one coat. y
