NEW SOURCE OF oUTrAPERcHA
4 German says the rreos That Prodao-
 It Win Grow it the Philippines.

1t VIII Grow io the Philippines.
 In 9 monograph, just published in Germany, 1t is shown that the Philip pines are among the few places on earth in which the trees rom which gqttapereha is procured will flourish. The value of this statement is not to be underfatea for two reasons: 0ne is that gattapereha is an indispensable material for the making of submarine cables and golf balls, the othel is that the trees in Samatra and Berneo, from which the chief supply has hi 7erto been drawn are almost entirely ex= hausted. The cause of this exhaus. tion lies in the primitive and destruc- tive methods which were formerly em- ployed for gathering this valuable commodity. T5e natives who never have any thought for the morrow have rutniessly cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the guttapercha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark This whole sale destruction carried on for years has greatly diminished the annual crop, but the discovery that these trees grow and can be successfully eulti- vated in the Philippines offers hope that a new mine of wealth has been found fol American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacifed While the chief use of guttapereha is, of course. for the isolating covering of electric wires, 8 large quantity is used for the manufacture of golt balls. for which no other material seems NO yell adapt- ed. Its hardness after ea4ing beer submitted to the proper pressure, ana it's toughness make it the only golf hali material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1858 is some 41.859 knots, representing q cost for he cables alone of millions of pounds sterling, and as the prospects are that during the next fifty years many more cables will be required and laid, the demand for guttapereha is almost nn- limited. The wealth which gutta- pereha in the Philippines holds out to American enterprise is in proportion to this demand,

HOW COLOR AFFECTS rs1NpusfRY
One Reason Why American Machinery
 Is Not More PoFAlar.


 Is Not More Popular.
 4 gentleman who has traveled much and has very large interest in Amer ican export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the principal draw back to q wider extension Of American commerce in certain parts of the world is that manufacturers in the United States do not sufficiently study the wants, the customs and the tastes os their prospective customers. For ex- ample, he said. "a certain American firm sent some electrical goods. which were decorated in green. to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; 1t would mean an invitation to the evil deitiesZ Green is an evil color in Japan What a Japanese wants is red things. Upon this simple matter ot color rests the failure of that manu- faeturef to succeed in export trade 4 German eml lover of labor g.
