Rubber for Bicycle Tires.

At recent meeting of the Botanic so.
ciety of London the subject of rubbe.
was brought up and speaker stated
that at the present time. when the de-
mand for India rubber was so great for
bicycle tires and the wheels of other
vehicles that it seemed likely to out
strip the supply, it was interesting to
know that the plants producing it
were not confined to one or two parts of
the world, but were found growing in
the tropical parts of America and
Africa, as well as in India, Madagascar,
Borneo, etc., and desirable species were
being constantly introduced to their
colonies by all the governments who
possessed tropical dependencies. There
was shown at the meeting an extensive
collection Of rubber producing plants,
including those from Ceara, Central
America, Para, Assam and Africa.

head back and bit angrily at 1t, opening
his mouth wide and coming down on it
with all his might. During this lively
process the piece of gum fell out of his
mouth, and he lay down on the floor all
tired out, and looked at the dented little
wad in disgust.
He is a gritty little fellow, and he
made up his mind he would get the best
of that stuff, whatever 1t was. So he
soon got up, walked all around it as it
lay on the floor, shifting suspiciously,
and then pounced on it suddenly. OF
course, it stuck to his paw, and then
he was angrier than ever. He finally
succeeded in getting it off with his
teeth and then he went at il again.
He barked loudly, running around #
and pushing it with his nose, but he
would not give up, and after many
trials he began to get the hang of it
and to enjoy chewing it. The habit
has grown on him steadily, and now he
shifts around under the window-sills
and chairs, and If the small boy who
lives in the same house has left his
gum sticking around, he is sure to lose
it altogether. For Mike gnaws it off,

While government can within its
