guarantees n permanent prosperity to
this part of Brazil; but no one can
successfully deal in rubber unless he
has large capital. The competition
is great. In the rubber field, men
without money can play no part, unless
they become rubber gatherers, in
which case they would have ten
chances for death against one for life.
On some of the rivers so percent of
the natives die who go there.
"The value of the milres is the low
est in the history of Brazil, as it now
requires over 1.2 milreis to buy 81

Sources of (;utta.percha.

Gutta-pcrcha, like India rubber, is
obtained from the juices of certain
trees and climbers The best is pro-
duced by tree, the Isonandra gutta,
of the order Sapotacae, which former

rs on rubber trees, and the liquor
flows of perfect whiteness, dnrkening
at contact of mir. Coagulation takes
place spontaneously in II short time.
Like rubber, the liquid forms n film
on top. This cream is removed,
kneaded into large lump and
alumped into boiling water. Under
the action of high temperature it
softens and forms the cake usually
found in commerce. Other trees in
Malaysia and Farther India, in Cam
bodia and Cochin China, produce good
gutta. In Hindustan different grades
are mixed by the natives. Chinese
merchants, in their depots, mix and
manipulate to give a good superficial
appearance to the product, as the
price is constantly advancing. As the
gathers also do not scruple to add
vegetable debris, earth, or sand, it has
become difficult to secure a pure nrti-
Gle. An inferior quality is obtaine d

"Big Dippcr" Stars Are Suns.

Mary Proctor, the astronomist, says
in Popular Astronomy that the seven
stars in 'Big Dipper' are in reality
seven splendid suns, probably very
much larger than our sun, and glow
ing with intense lustre. Iron sodium,
magnesium, and other we'll known
elements exist in the atmospheres OF
these stars, and these massive globes,
raging with fiery heat, rush through
the depths of space with inconcaivable
speed. Five of the stars are receding
from us at the rate of seventeen miles
per second, the other two are travelling
in an opposite direction. 1t is certain
that these two do not belong to the
same system rs do the other five.
Thirty-six thousand years hence the
seven stars of the Great Dipper will
have dissolved partnership and its APP
pearance will have changed. The
handle of the dipper will be bent and
its rim ont of plnce, for the reason
that tiva stars will have drifted in one
direction and two in another. There
are stars travelling in family parties,
colonies OF stnrs of n friendly tend
ency drifting together, others less
friendly drifting apart Despite the
fact that each star thus urging it's way
through s.,oce is an enormous mass of
glowing vnpor, yet the most perfect
order and harmony prevail in the star
depths.

A Warning Against Brazil.

Brazil is not a profitable place to go
to without capital. Our consul at
Para utters this warning to Americans,
declaring that ''energy and push" are
not enough for emigrauts to start with.
He says: "No Americans coming to
Para without the means to maintain
themselves while acquiring the Ian
guage and seeking employment can
have much chance OF success.
''That language is Portuguese, and
one must know it in order to find en-
ployment. Para has more applicants
than positions. Salaries are small, and
living the most expensive in the world.
"Nearly everything consumed here
is imported, and pays very high i'm
port duty. Salaries for clerks are
from $15 to $45 a month. The un-
certain and ever-changing value of the
money has an injurious effect upon
trade. None suffer more from it than
they'who work for wages, for while
the cost of living is made dearer by
the financial condition of the country,
salaries undergo little or no change
as the money tluctuates in values. As
