that guttapercha is an indispensable BILE
material for the making of submarine

the trees in Sumatra and Borneo from

hausted. The cause of this exhaustjon
lies in the primitive and dostructi,,a
methods which were formerly em-
ployed for gathering this valuable
commodity. The natives who na,,ap

ruthlessly cut down whole forests or
trees so that they might scrape the
