RUBBER IN BRAZIL.
United States Steamer Wilmington
Explores Amazon River Grew
Watch Rubber Gatherers.

BY studying a map of Brazil YOU can
see that the Para river extends almost
due west, south of the island of Maraio.
to network of narrow streams, known
as the Passes, which connect the Para
with the Amazon. These numerous
channels are from 70 to $50 wards In
width, and some of them are navigable
for vessels of 1S to 20 feet draft. These
Passes are interesting enough to those
traversing them in small craft. but to
the o1hcers and sailors of such steam
ers as the o. S. S. Wilmington they are
trebly so. At night there is little to
arrest the attention other than the
weird, dark shapes of the banks. which
ever seem close aboard. The land
being low and fat, and the trees near
the waters edge, it seems as if the ship
has forsaken her natural element and
IS running overland on invisible wheels.
When daylight comes in a sudden
burst of light like the unheralded flash
of the theater's illumination. there is
revealed on each side of the narrow
channel the forests solid WALL exposing
to view q panorama of overhanging
branches, brilliant with the multitu-
dlnous hues of tropical vegetation.
There is strange chattering of an
imai life and whirr of winged insects.
The discordant cries of myriad parrots
echo from the trees. There is human
life, too. Here and there embowered in
the jungle can be seen little wooden
huts, with thatched roofs and sides
open to cooiing winds.
These are the homes of the rubber
gaIherers, who labor day in and day
out collecting the milky sap of the
Hevea brasiliensis. This rubber gath
ering is interesting, and the Whining
toms crew watch curiously as the wind
ing channel reveals little groups of ma
tives at work along the edge of the
stream.
Those on board who have read the
descriptions tell others of the manner
in which the half-naked Indians labor,
OF how each family works what is
called an estrada" or street, path
through the forest, which embraces as
many rubber trees as can be convenient
ly tended, of how these trees are slit
with machete and cup fitted in the
cut to catch the sap, and of the manner
In which the owner makes his daily
round and brings to his hut the collect
ed juice.
There is also interest in the descrip-
tion Of its next stage, when the sap is
dipped up by stick and revolved over
smoky fire. The smoke causes each
layer to coagulate on the stick, and
when the desired amount is formed it
is removed and made ready for ship
ment. These balls of crude rubber
usually weigh in the neighborhood of
rs pounds, and are of dark, lustrous
hue. 1t was novel experience, this
visit OF the Wilmington's crew to the
home OF the rubber gatherers, and the
closest attention was paid to the ever
changing scenery as the white cruiser
steamed slowly along through the
Passes.-Ainslee's Magazine.
