The tree from which gutta percha Is
obtained grows in Borneo. and in 9TH
er islands of the Indian Archipelago,
says the Philadelphia Times. 1t is very
large, but the wood is spongy. and of
little use as timber. The leaves grow
on long stalks. and are green above
and of bright yellow beneath. The
flowers are small and grow In pretty
tufts In the axils of the leaves. each
on separate stalk or stem.
To obtain the gutta percha OF COM
meree, the finest trees are cut down.
and incisions are made In the bark;
milky Juice exudes from the Incis-
ions, and is reserved By little troughs
made for that purpose. When the
Juice has hardened to certain extent
1t is kneaded into cakes and exported.
The cakes are of a reddish brown col
or and are full of irregular pores.
Before. however. the cakes are ready
for use they have to undergo some
preparation. They are first sliced into
very thin shavings and then placed
In tearing machine, which re-
wolves In trough OF hot water. The
machines tears the shavings into
small pieces, and the hot water washes
them thoroughly. These pieces are
then made into cakes and the cakes
are rolled several times between heat
ed cylinders to free them from any air
or water that they may contain. and
to make them uniform In texture.
Again they are rolled between heated
rollers and thus made into sheets OF
various thIcknesses for use. or formed
into rods, water pipes or any other
shapes which may be desired.

In the old Brazilian town of Bahia
fireworks form part of the regular
Sunday ceremonies. The town has a
number Of churches, and they fiercely
compete for patronage. First the
great deep-toned bells remind the
townspeople that Sunday is come.
Then the crash Of fireworks reminds
them that their attendance at service
Is earnestly desired. So every Sunday
morning and evening witnesses a small
Fourth of July from an
American standpoint-in the queer old
town of Bahia.

ed pitfalls of uuicksand that occur in
the dry plains aud are covered with u
trCachcruus crust of clay that has been
spread over them in fine particles by
the wind and baked dry by the sun.
The peculiar properties of the soil
retain all the moisture drained into
them after the infrCuuCnt rains and al
low it To he filtered to unknown depths,
SO that II man or horse or II COW or II
sheep that once steps upon that de-
ccptivc crust instantly sinks out of
sight beyond hope of rescue. The
sumidcros are on level with the sur.
face of the desert. There Is no dan
ger signal To mark them, and their
surface cannot be distinguished by the
ordinary eye from the hard clay that
surrounds them. They occur most fro
quently in the alkali covered flats and
are often IL or 20 feet in diameter
Sometimes they are only little pockets
or wells that a man can leap across
but the longest pole has never found
their bottom. A stone thrown through
the crust sinks to unknown depths.
and no man who ever fell into one OF
them was rescued. They account for
the mysterious disappearance of many

The CleyePRomaus,

1t seems quite surprising that the an
cient Romans did not acquire the art Of
printing with movable types, inasmuch
as they came so very near to it. They
had wooden blocks carved with words
in reverse, by means of which they
stamped those words on pottery, while
the latter was as yet unbaked and soft.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that
they knew the modern method of
amending broken pots by means of riv-
&ts, and many pieces of pottery thus
restored have been dug up.
In ancient Rome there was one daily
newspaper, which was written entirely
by hand. Furthermore the Roman SEN
ate had a publication which CORE
spends to The Congressional Record,
being report of the daily proceedings
of that important legislative body. 1t
likewise was written by hand. Speak
