forming square tabs all around the feet,
and the coat, in Elton style, is slashed at
the middle of the back and sides, and at
either side of the front Is caught together
with a green silk cord and tiny white
pearl buttons. The collar, which is cut
in three squares at the back, Is covered
with rows of filled white satin ribbon and
lace. White silk, spotted with black,
forms the collar in one jaunty little coat,
finished around the edge with scauoped
rows of black silk braid
The chic thing of the season Is the
black silk coat Of tucked taffeta bordered
all around with stitched band of plain
taffeta. These form decidedly one of the
most fashionable features of the season 9
fashions, but If you do not want a silk
coat, there are iaunty little jackets of
black cloth trimmed with stitched bands
of black taffeta- Another style of black
coat in cloth shown in the illustration Is
Elton shape in the back and points down
on either side of the front. The upper
revers and Medici collar of mauve silk is
embroidered with white, and the under
revers of cloth are decorated with anne
thyst buttons. A collar of white MORE
under one of cloth covered with rows Of
stitching is the feature of another jacket,
but still another In gray cloth Is trim

guipure around the collar.

States They thrive best on ground that
is flooded a part of the year A great
part of the valley is of this nature. The
waters cover the tops of the trees. 1t
remains about them for months and then
subsidies until the floods come again.
The valley is cut up by rivers and
streams 1t Is almost alteghether COW
cred with woods, and the only way of
reaching different parts of it is by the
streams. Almost all the lands along the
streams is owned by some one or other.
If it is not owned it is claimed, and this
Is especially SO of those parts of the
valley which produce good rubber.
Some of 1t is owned by large COM
panies. The rubber trust controls much
Of it. The AmaZonas Rubber Estate
Company. of London has 0,000 acres on a
tributary of the Amazon more than l.
800 miles above Para. It has capital
Of $1,500000, and runs a steam tug be-
tween its estate and the city. of Manaos,
which is 1000 miles up the river. There
is another English rubbert4 company,
which has been recently formed, with a
capital of $1,250, 600, which GOWNS about
100000 rubber trees, scattered over 1872
900 acres. This company. has produced as
much as 300 tons of rubber a year, and
1t will, 1T claims, soon produce 500 tons
annually.
Nearly every business man of promi-
nence in Para owns more or less rubber
land. Many of the big business houses
have liens on the owners of rubber camps
from the goods they supply to them, and
1t may be said that the rubber lands of
the Amazon are practically mortgaged to
Para and its connections
This is especially so of the rubber coun-
try south Of the Rio Negro On that river,
not far from its mouth, is the town of
Manaos, which has $4,000 people. This is
also rubber city, and it's people are
largely interested in the rubber forests

hothouses the plants from which our
rubber comes. You are mistaken. The
rubber tree, with its thick, glossy, green
leaves, which you have seen, Is that
which produces the gutta percha. 1t Is
nothing like the great tree from which
comes the best rubber of commerce.
The real rubber tree is not unlike other
forest trees. If it was not pointed out to
you you might travel throughout the
Amazon valley and without you saw the
rubber hunters at work you would not
know what it was 1t looks much like
the English ash, and it grows to height
of more than sixty feet
Its bark Is silver gray where 1t has not
become black by tapping. The trunk of
the tree is about as big around as mans
waist. Where it has been tapped it often
swells out at the base, SO that 1t Is much
larger 1t blossoms in August, being then
covered with little white flowers. 1t is a
nut tree, and In December and January,
when the nuts are ripe, the shells which
contain them burst with a noise like a
arecracker. throwing the nuts to some
