India Rubber.

Not little singular is the fact noted
by chemists that, contrary to the gen
eral belief, natural india rubber is moi
waterproof Indeed since the article ha:
to be dried to be freed of its moisture
the conclusion is obvious that it will
absorb moisture again, and, according
to experiments mentioned by E. Schultz
in the Gummi Zeitung, it does so with
certain rapidity.
1t is found that rolled rubber plates
which by virtue of their treatment are
in Il somewhat compressed condition,
absorb from S to % per cert cf water
IN two hours. When the water is heated
to about 100 degrees F., at increased
pressure, the absorption takes placs
much more readily, and piece of rub
Der, kept in cylinder under a pressure
of 40 pounds. absorbed 20 per cent OF
water III five minutes.
Oils, of course, stop the water. Nul-
canized rubber remains dry, though not
entirely so. and badly vulcanized goods
deteriorate, owing to this reason.
Schulzo kept plato of the best Para
rubber in water not above 10 degrees
F., and after 2Ia months it had be-
come 4 hopeless, smeary mass.
