India Rubber.

Not little singular is the fact noted
by chemists that, contrary to the gen.
eral belief, natural india rubber is not
waterproof. Indeed since the article has
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. Schulze
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 a somewhat compressed condition,
absorb from s to 20 per cent CT water
in two hours. When the water is heated
to about 100 degrees F., at increased
pressure, the absorption takes place
much more readily, and piece of rub
Der, kept in cylinder under pressure
Of l40 pounds, absorbed 25 per cent Of
water III five minutes.
Oils, of course, stop the water Vul-
canized rubber remains dry, though not
entirely so. and badly vulcanized goods
deteriorate, owing to this reason
Schulze kept plate of the best Para
rubber in water not above 10 degrees
f.. and after az months it had be-
come a hopeless, smeary mass.

Polk Miller of Richmond is known as
q raconteur of plantation life in the
south before the war. One story told by
Mr.. Miller will we'll bear repetition.
An old darby named Absalom was the
favorite attendant Of a widower ac.
quaintance of Miller, and as rumor
had it that the widower intended tax
ing unto himself a second wife Miller
asked Absalom if it were true. Absalom
scratched his woolly pate for moment
and replied that he reckoned it was.
"Well, said Miller, twill he take a
bridal tour?''
This somewhat puzzled Absalom for
an instant; then an inspiration struck
him, and he said. II dunno bout a
bride, sab, hut when de ole missus was
live he used to talk paddle to her; SO
maybe he talk bride to de new one!"

The Elaborate chinese Novel,

1t is proof Of the high degree Of
elaboration to which fiction literature
in China has been carried that most of
their novels are Tricky interspersed
with poems OF all orders of merit. No
stronger evidence could be afforded of
the fact that whatever they lack it is
not literary finish If anything, they
have this in excess These poems are
introduced in variety of ways The
hero sends one in billet doux to the
heroine, or he overhears her singing
one or perhaps poetic contest is struck
up, the fine on defeat being generally
the compulsory drinking of SO many
extra fagons of wine. Wine drinking
and poetizirg almost invariably 20 to-
gether in Chinese novels though wheth-
er they do SO in real life we are unable
to say. Above all things, every man
who sets up to be anything in the way
nf hero i'll Chinese fiction must be
prepared VI eXteEporiZe bv the roam in
inimitable poetry.
