ouTrA-PERcHA SCARCE. |
OtmcaIt to Get Enough for q Pacific
Cable.


In connection with the Pacific cable
q very interesting question arises, says
the Engineering Magazine. From
where is the gutta-percha for this vi
gantic cable to come? Every whisper
of the construction of transpacific
line sends the gutta-percha market at
Singapore up by leaps and bounds. The
ruling price of the gum Is the highest
that has ever obtained. II Is stated.
ON what authority 1t Is hard to say,
that the visible supply of gutta-percha
Is insufficient for the task, and that II
this cable is laid 1t will be the last-the
last with a gutta-percha insulation at
least
While this pessimism on the part Of
the gutta-percha producers savors
somewhat of a desire to stiffen the
market, there is yet a sufficiently rea-
sonable foundation for 1t in the wanton
destruction of the gutta-percha forests.
II win be interesting to see the out
come of the situation. II the United
States acquires an island in the Caro-
lines the building of the cable line
seems possible. though expensive. II
they do not find landing place the
operation of the cable seems to require
q prohibitively costly plant. And
meanwhile there is the question of the
disappearing gutta-percha tree.

AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES.
Eugiish workmen Have Many objection,
to Their Introduction.


to Their Introduction.
English workmen do not view with
complacency the introduction of the
American locomotives on the Midland
railway. They are not only an af-
front to their national pride, but they
see in them a positive menace to the
engineers trades union, which has
been one of the most powerful in all
Europe. The American locomotive Is
placed ON the rails in Great Britain
at cost OF from 20 to 80 per cent less
than the British makers can produce
the same sort of machine. So the
working of the American locomotives
is watched with much more than ordi-
nary interest by men on both sides of
the ocean. II the machines can be
made thoroughly adapted to British
requirements at such a saving OF cost
to the British railway companies, It
means that the British maker must
produce them at like cost or else
be thrown out OF the market. That
means lower wages to the British
workman. and against that he will
fight with all his characteristic OBJ
stinacy. as he has to the introduction
Of labor saving machinery. Even the
long drawn out and disastrous strike
which made possible the Introduction
Of the American locomotive. has not
taught them the whole of their lesson.
There is even now proposition on
foot that the union of locomotive
drivers shall adopt a rule prohibiting
members from handling an American
made locomotive, when the engineers
union shall reach the conclusion II 1t
does, that the Introduction of the
American machine threatens seriously
the wages OF their trade.
