NEW souRcE W. uuTrAPERcHA

y Gsrman says IN Trsss That Prodass
II VIII Grow IL the Philippines.
In monograph, Just published In
Germany, 1t Is shown that the Philip
pines are among the few places on
earth in which the trees from which
guttapercha is procured will flourish.
The value Of this statement Is not to
be moderated for two reasons: One
Is that guttapercha is an indispensable
material for the making Of submarine
cables and golf balls; the other is that
the trees in Sumatra and Borneo, from
which the chief supply has hitherto
been drawn are almost entirely ex-
hausted. The cause of this exhaus-
ton lies in the primitive and destruc-
tive methods which were formerly en-
ployed for gathering this valuable
commodity. The natives who never
have any thought for the morrow have
ruthlessly 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
S~~AS NSoI' "SIAoA SAAlACu VII lOl CSL4 y
has greatly diminished the annual
crop. but the discovery that these trees
grow and can be successfully cult
waited in the Philippines offers hope
that new mine of wealth has been
found for American enterprise as soon
as the islands are pacifed. While the
chief use of guttapercha is, of course,
for the isolating covering of electric
wires, large quantity is used for the
manufacture Of golf balls, for which
no other material seems so well' adapt
ed. Its hardness after having been
submitted to the proper pressure, and
it's toughness make it the only golf ball
material yet discovered The amount
of cable laid since 1856 is some 1858
knots, representing cost for the
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 guttapercha is almost I'M
limited. The wealth which gutta-
percha in the Philippines holds out to
American enterprise IS in proportion
to this demand.
