RUBBER SCARCE.

The use of gutta percha or india
rubber for bicycle and carriage
wheel tires and many other new pur-
poses has created a demand for this
useful product exceeding the supply.
The shortage is so serious that it is
affecting large commercial enter
priseS and an instance in point is the
delay in the construction of the new
Pacific cable
The latest source from which rub
Der is being obtained is the leaves of
gutta percha trees.
\ firm in Singapore states that it
manufactures. in this manner. gutta
percha that can not be told from the
true gum. 1t requires. however. six
ty-tive tons of leaves to yield one ton
of gutta percha. and. as the leaves
are not always to be had in sufficient
quantities. this source OF supply can
not be considered a very stable one.

NOVEL BRIDGE SCHEME.

How to provide for the crossing of
tie Hudson and East rivers nj New
York is the question ut present Gu
gaging the attention of mechanical
engineers. Ferries are out of date.
and bridges and tunnels costly. and
take years to build. One man pro
poses to solve the problem by placing
bridges considerable distance un-
der water in the Hudson between
New York city and New Jersey.
His proposed bridge is in the form
of tunnel, or seven tunnels, made
of huge metal rings joined together.
This bridge is to rest on piers built
up from the river bottom, and its top
TO be forty feet below the surface, so
that the largest vessels may pass
over it at low water.
