TAPPING THE RUsseR TREE.
How Tho Valuable DUN IL Extracted In
South American Forests.

How tho Valuable DUN II Extracted In
South American Forests.
In South America natives are hired
by rubber contractors to penetrate the
forests and secure the gum Of the rub
ber tree. This is generally done by
making several vertical incisions mp
the trunk Of the tree, with others run
ming obliquely into tho main or mp
right channels. Small clay cups are
fastened to the bnrk and the rubber
sap or milk allowed to flow into them.
II Is at first about the color and con-
sistency Of cream, losing in the pro-
cesses OF coagulation flfty-six per cent.
Several methods Of congealing the
rubber milk are used, but the one
most commonly practiced is known as
the "biscuit" process. The sap is
smeared on q stock resembling but
ter ladle or paddle and held over tho
smoke obtained by burning forest
nuts. The milk soon thickens on tho
paddle, which is repeatedly dipped
into the sap and put through the smok-
ing process, until piece Of crude
rubber weighing often fifty pounds is
formed; this when removed has hole
through the centre left by the paddle,
and is termed "biscuit" OF rubber.

A Sixth Sense In Pigeons.

> Captain Remand, the French spec
ialist in charge of the military pigeon
service, is a firm believer in sixth
sense in pigeons and other birds and
animals. possessed of homing instinct,
which he calls the sense of "orienta-
ton" He has defended his theory at
length in paper recently read before
the French Academic des Sciences,
claiming to have amply proved it by
special trials of various kinds.

While many curious observances
cluster about Easter, the egg as an
emblem Of resurrection was, and is
most generally used by all Nations.
De Gebelin has connected it with the
ancient Egyptians, Persians, Greeks
and Romans, and DIR. Schwartz finds
that it was customary among the Par
sees to distribute red eggs at their
spring festival. In Germany, instead
Of the egg, is an emblematic print. in

WILD FIGHT FOR FOOD.
Gold Seekers Desperately Seek for
Their Cached Stores.

BENNETT, Chilkoot Pass, May lit is
hardly possible that the world ever again
will witness such a sight as is now to be
seen on the Chilkoot pass, unless it be on
the Chilkoot pass. No mining excitement
in the history of the world ever before
caused the like of it,
Right on the summit Of the Chilkoot are
cached hundreds of tons of supplies. Hun
dreds of persons are trying to get at their
stores, which are beneath hundreds of tons
of snow. On either side of narrow trail
men are to be seen eight or ten feet down
in the snow trying to find their cache
Those digging out their stores throw out
their goods on the narrow trail men tread
over them with SledS or kick them back
on top of their owners, and it is a wonder
that many accidents do not occur though
there is not a day but some one is killed
or injured.
The summit of Chilkoot is one awful
thousands of tons of snow. Looking down
from the summit across Carter lake and as
far as the eye can reach, there is one long
sinuouS stretch of prospectors. Immedi-
ately from the summit down to Carter lake
the descent is almost perpendicular. Down
in the hill the trail is wide enough to take
seven sleighs broadsde.
A man lies down in front of this sleigh,
pack on his back and the sleigh loaded
with several hundred pounds of provisions,
resting against the pack. Behind sack of
flour is dragging by a rope to act as an
anchor down the mountain. The mans feet
and body pillow through the snow, and with
a whoop away he goes down the hill. 1t is
