Experiments made with the native
rubber tree in Mexico have demon
strated conclusively that the cultiva-
tion of the castilloa elastica is feasible
and that, after the seventh or eighth
year, a quantity of rubber sufficient
to make the investment profitable may
be extracted annually. Each acre of
the ground available in Mexico for the
purpose can accommodate about 200
trees. Each tree should yield from
one to two pounds of rubber an
nually, with value of sixty to seventy
cents a pound, United States cur
rency.
The cost OF gathering and preparing
the rubber is small, and, with freight
charges, amounts to so slight pro-
portion that an average profit of fifty
cents a pound may be relied upon.
Therefore, the net annual returns to
the planter should be between S10C
and 5000 an acre each year. The trees
continue to grow larger, increasing
the amount of their product each year.
1t is estimated that on a plantation in
Mexico fifteen years old each tree
should yield an average of five pounds
of rubber.
The only objection planters can fint
against entering the rubber growing
industry is the long time they mus
wait after planting before they car
realize any returns. While it is true
that it involves much patients wait.
ing, it is considered the safest of crops,
with practically no risk of loss. The
prices quoted are top figures in the
markets of the world.
With such opportunities as Mexico
offers there is little danger of the rub.

Endurance of Arabian portsrs.

Arab carriers bear great loads upon
their backs aud go at trotting pace
from 6 q. m. to 6p. m. During the
month of Ramadan the Koran forbids
the taking of food between sunrise
and sunset, and this law is said to be
held sacred and rarely violated. Not
only do these porters continue their
arduous physical exertion during the
twelve laboring hours of the day
without taking any food during that
period, but the French inspectors who
are in charge of the gangs told our in
formant that they could work better
during the month Of the fast than at
any other time of the year, because
their energy was not needed for
digestion. At eventide these Arabs
have moderate meal of wheatmeal
porridge, mixed with large proportions
of butter lit is to be had cheap or
olive oil. Their expenditure for food
is not more than six or seven cents a
day, and the only luxury which they
permit themselves is cup OF very
strong black coffee and cigarette.

A correspondent sends us an inter
esting account of the trust rePosed by
our neighbors in British good faith.
At time when war between Great
Britain and France seemed possible,
if not probable, it was feared that it
would involve bombardment of
Havre. Insurances were accordingly
effected at Lloyd's by Frenchmen at
Havre against any damage which
might in such a case be done to their
buildings. Such an underwriting
contract would be unenforceable at
law, but the Frenchmen who paid
their insurance felt certain that the
British underwriters would not take
advantage of any legal point, but
would pay up-as, of course, they
would have done. After all, this lit.
tie incident should serve to show that
"perfde Albion" is very often not
much more than a phrase. .-Westmin'

We recommend those who are inter-

look at the account given of the deco

a London theater decorated with
sculpture by Mr.. Gilbert and Onslow
