Sale of Para Rubber Seed.

Acting under the instructions of
Mr.. John G. Willis, Director of the
Royal Botanical Gardens of Ceylon.
Mr.. c. E. H. Symons, put up for
sale at the Chamber of Commerce
recently 10000 para rubber seeds
in seven lots of 10000 each. The
sale was poorly attended, there
being only seven gentlemen present,
besides Mr.. SymonS, but the bid.
ding was satisfactory if not brisk.
Mr.. SymonS opened the sale bv
reading the condition under which
the seeds were to be purchased,
stating these to be that purchasers
would be required to enter into a
written agreement to the effect that
the seed shall be cultivated in Cev-
lon in suitable districts and that it
shall not be reSold. Some desultorv
informal discussion followed as TO
the Interpretation of the phrase
"suitable locality" Mr.. Symons
explaining the matter by quoting
from a letter. The first lot of 10, 900
seeds was put up for sale at the up
set price of RI5 and the first bid
was a rupee higher. The price
briskly rose to REQ, at which figure
the hammer fell to the bid of Mr.. M.
Bremen on behalf of MeSSrs. Geo. q.
Steuart & Co. The second and
succeeding lots of 10000 each were
put up at the upset price of Res.
KY closed the competition for the
second lot for MesSrs. Lee, Hedges
& Co. Mr.. R. J. Booth captured
the third lot Qor MeSSrs. Cumber-
batch & Co.. at REQ. The same
figure won the fourth lot for Mr.. R.
r. ). Hardie on the bidding of Mr..
Tulloch. The fifth lot fell at the
upset price Res, to MessrS. Finlay,
Muir & Co. The same firm secured
sixth lot for rupee higher (Rao)
and with another rupee more Cat

Rubber Nomenclature.

Like in all new industries, there /.
considerable confusion as to wha
trees and plants produce the variou,
kinds of rubber. The planters Of
these island, from reading and Other
information, have one matter pretty
well fixed in their minds, and that is
the common names of special choice
kinds of rubber; but some are not
so clear as to the trees that pro-
duce the different kinds. Para rub
Der is admitted the best rubber pro-
duced, with Ceara as a close fol-
lower; but many persons use these
names as synonyms. CorreSpon-
dents frequently ask for seed of
Para, or Ceara, rubber. Now this
is not correct, for they are two diff
ferent qualities produced by two
separate varieties of trees. Para
rubber is produced from Heva bra
zilienSiS; its synonym is Siphonia
eleaStic, and is a native of Brazil.
Some authorities claim it to be the
same as CastiIoa elastica, the Mexi-
can rubber tree which produces a
quality of gum the nearest APP
preaching the Para of any yet pro-
duced; and there is a fair possibility
of the Mexican Castilloa elaStica
being the same, or a closely related
species; while Ceara rubber is
produced from the Manihot Gloom
via of the coast district of Brazil, |
and belongs to the same family as
the Manihot Aipi, which is grown
here for its starchy tubers, COM
monty called by the Portuguese
Mandiocca, and CaSSava. This
tree is better suited to dry locations
than the former, and does not make
so large a tree or produce as good
rubber.
The Manihot Glozonvia is grow
ng in the Government garden here
md bearing seed. The Hiva is not
here, so far as can learn;
Tor is the Mexican CaStilloa, which
'oSSibly may be the same thing.
But this Department will secure seed
t the earliest date practicable.
What is known as the tree rub
er here is the FicuS elastica
f India; it produces the gum in too
mall quantities, it is claimed, to be
rofitable.

many, but the British article is
found to be superior.
Rubber of the best quality is pro-
duced throughout the continent wat
cred by the Amazon between Para
and the Andes mountains of Peru
and the majority of authorities on
the subject are of opinion that there
is absolutely no fear for the exhaust
ton OF the supply of rubber in the
Amazonlan States. Distance and
rapids are not inSurmountable obsta-
cleS, for in some cases this produce
is transported as much as oooo miles
before it reaches Para; and, when
rapids impede the way, canoes and
their cargoeS are hoiSted out of the
water and rolled along the banks,
sometimes for several miles, until
navigable water is reached. This
causes much delay and additional
expense, but it is found in the end
that the distance and prolonged
transportation have improved the
rubber, so that when it arrives at
It's destination it sells for higher
prices than that collected nearer the
mouth of the river.-[ Journal of the

Para, ManaoS, Bolivia, and Peru
during fine twelve months ended
June 80, 1897, was 2,2Io tons, OF
which IL, 1868 tons were sent tc
Europe, and 9848 to the United
States. The Amazonian crop dur
ing the same period amounted to
%, 3I5 tons, of which oIoo tons be-
longed to the State of Para. The
amount of Amazonian rubber ex-
ported during the year ended De-
cember 81, 1896, was 2I,5o7 tons,
of which 1852 tons were sent to
Europe (Io,o37 to the United King
dom, and 1905 to France and oos5
to the United States; while the
amount of Amazonian rubber ex-
ported in 1897 (January 1 to De-
cember 80 was 2o,554 tons, of
which only 972o tons went to
Europe, and Io,828 tons to the
United States.
The value of the rubber exports
from Para during the year I8o5-o7
was EI,973595, and the duties COL
lected on this value amounted to
G4I5,2o5.
All the trade between States
watered by the Amazon q. e., Para,

bonds of the defendants as a warning to
future violators OF the law.
The cases were brought by the District
authorities because of numerous complaints
against the fast running or the cars on IL

Shoreham hotels
When Mr. Pugh. called the cas,s 70 tho

Sc. for the railroad company. appeared and
asked that the personal bonds Of he de-

men had violated the law. they had done
so in direct violation of orders The COM
pany, he said, has instructed the motor
men TO keep their trains within the legal
limit of speed. and has taken every other
precaution that IS possible. These. he said,
are the hrst cases That have been brought
Tor long time and the placing Of he men
under their personal bonas would have the
desired effect If, after being put under

This action had been taken. the prosecutor
SAID. because of promises that the law
would not be violated again.
In answer to the courts inquiries Mr..
Pugh said the cases had been brought I'm
the regular way, and he had no objections
TO anything the court might do with them.
Attorney Baker said the men had been
told that any fines imposed would not be
paid by the company.
In answer to a statement by Attorney
Pugh that complaints had been made
against the speed of these cars Mr.. Baker
said the company had not received COM
plant.
THE company had better read the

Complaints frequently recorded in
them, and the company should know OF
them in this way"
What could be learned them Mr. Baker
answered One day see in the papers

Judge Scott, commenting on the case,
said the regular speed allowed by law is
dangerous, and any faster speed increases
the danger. These, he said, are the first
cases of the kind that have been called TO

sponsibity of suspending sentence In
conclusion the judge reminded the motor

slider to be just and equitable bill of
81. 16S55 against the company for work
done by H. L. Crawford In repairing the
pavement adjacent to the company's tracks
on l. street between 9th and 14th.
The Commissioners explain that the pave
ment laid. by the company Immediately
south of its tracks could be considered
as temporary only, as it connected the
new or adopted grade of the railroad with
the temporary and uneven grade of the
old pavement on the south side Of the
street. In laying the new pavement 1t was
necessary the Commissioners further ex-
plain TO remove this temporary pavement,
Notwithstanding II was in good condition,
both in order to secure proper grade and
alignment of the new pavement and to
provide 1T with a uniform, continuous foun-
dation, the old foundation being merely
bitumlnous one.
Under these. conditions the relayine of
the pavement adjacent to the tracks was
considered necessary by the Commission
ers, SO as to secure proper pavement On
the south side OF the street, and they there
fore consider the charge against the rail-
road company just and equitable one.
