An Unlimited supply OF Material for
Ocean Cables and Golf Balls.

ocean cables ana Golf Balls.
Washington, Jan. 19.-Rich as the Phil
ippines were known to be, it is in one
product that they promise to be of great
est value. In a monograph just publish
ed in Germany it is shown that the Phil
ippines are among the few places on earth
in which the trees from which gutta-
percha is procured will flourish The
value of this statement is not to be under
rated for two reasons: One is that gutta-
percha is an indispensable material for
the making of submarine cables and golf
balls; the other is that the trees in Su-
matra and Borneo, from which the chief
supply has hitherto been drawn are al
most entirely exhausted The cause of
this exhaustion lies in the primitive and
destructive methods which were formerly
employed for gathering this valuable COM
modify. The natives VINO have never any
thought for the morrow have ruthlessy
cut down whole forests of trees. so that
they might scrape the guttapercha, which
is nothing but the sap from inside the
bark. This wholesale destruction carried
on for years has greatly diminished the
annual crop, but, the discovery that these
frees grow and can be successfully cult
waited in the Phi ippines offers hope thar
a
American enterprise as soon as the islands
are pacifed
The discovery of guttapercha goes back
10 the year 1877, when SIR William Jack
son Hooker and Dr. Ernest Werner Won
Siemens announced not only the discov-
cry Of this valuable product, but also that
il was adapted to the isolation of wires
along which electric currents were to
pass. When il is considered mat without
guttapercha al of the progress of the last
half century in drawing the ends of the
earth together by the lghtnings fash
would have been impossible. the import
ance of this discovery is easily appreci-
atcd
While the chief use of guttapercha is.
of course, for the isoiating covering of
electric wires large quantity is used
for the manufacture of golf balls for
which no other material seems so well
adapted. Its hardness after having been
submitted to the proper pressure. and its
toughness make il the only golf ball ma
terial yet discovered. The amount Of
cable laid since 1856 Is some 1853 knots
represented cost for cables alone of mil
lions of pounds sterling. and as the pros
poets are that during the next fifty years
many more cables will be required and
iaid, the demand for guttapercila is all
most unlimited. The wealth which gut
tapercha in the Philippines holds out to
American enterprise IS in proportion to
this demand.

THEY EAT DIRT AS BUTTER.
A German Scientist Explains. Why
Primitive People Are CIny-Eaters,

Eating earth is practiced all over the
world to certain extent, and is not con-
fined to the clay-eating Indians of the
far West. In certain parts of the noun
tains of Germany the natives eat a GER
tain kind of clay spread on their bread,
calling it Stein butter" Stone butter.
In upper Italy and Sardinia a kind of
clay is offered in the markets for sale as
food. In Northern Sweden and the PENN
sua of Kola kind of EARTH called berg
meri, mountain flour, is baked with the
bread In Persia, too, large quantities OF
clay are eaten. The natives of Africa are
great clay-eaters, especially the Botocu-
dos of the Orinoco river. In Nubia a GER
tain kind of earth is eaten as a medicine
and on the Island of Timor the eating Of
earth is connected with religious cere-
monies. The cause for this widespread
custom, according to DR.. Richard Lasch
a German scientist who has Just been in
vestigating the matter, is that the clay
contains certain amount of salt, which
tastes good to these primitive people. The
consequence of habitual earth-eating is
a great distention of the stomach an in
crease in the leanness of the eaters, and
distention Of the liver When a child of
civilized parents shows a disposition to
eat earth or slate pencils, as is so often
the case there is a physical cause for it.
and the case should be brought to the
attention of the family physician.

jean Dupuy, the French minister OF
agriculture. has just furnished an inter
estlng report concerning the destruction
of wolves in France The total number OF
the animals killed in the year 1898 was
1877, of which two were she wolves with
young, SO wolves not with young and liz
cubs. The amount paid in bounties equal
ed 1905 francs or $2,615. They were killed
in different departments, but while none
was killed in the Pyrennes and only one
in the Alps nearly all the rest were in the
four central departments of the Charente,
the Vienne, the Dordogne and the Haute-
Vienne. In the sixteen years between 1888
and 1898, inclusive, S,236 wolves have been
destroyed and bounties paid equaling 59i-
075 francs, or $11S,S15 In 1888 and 1884 the
number OF wolves killed was 1915 and l.
O35, but under the influence of the new
law, raising the bounty per head to $50 for
a Wolf with young, $50 for an ordinary
wolf and 40 francs or SO for a cub, there
has been rapid reduction in their num-
bers, and 1t is believed that in a very few
years they viii become extinct.

TRADE HINTS FROM OUR
cONSULS ABROAD.

GERMAN AMERICAN TRADE Mis-.
UNDERSTANDINGS. NO one, says
Consul General Mason, at Berlin,
who has studied dispassionately
the nature and causes Of the hos
tility that has found expression
more or less generally during re-
cent years in the press, legislative
assemblies, chambers OF COM
merce, and various industrial and
political associations in the United
States and Germany can have
failed to see how much OF this
mutual distrust and aversion has
been due to misunderstanding
growing out of mere Ignorance, a
failure to comprehend the many
customs and details oil practice in
respect to which the two peoples
differ, radically but honestly, as
the inevitable result Of diverse
traditions, education, and racial in
stincts.
Notwithstanding the millions Of
American citizens OF German birth
or lineage who inhabit the United
States, notwithstanding the throngs
of Americans who come to Ger
many year by year for purposes Of
travel, recreation, and study in
every department of technical and
scientific learning, and IN spite OF
the vast and long maintained COM
merce between the two countries.
their peoples are in respect to many
things strangers to each other. In
telligent Germans, men OF trained
judgment and observation, who,
like the delegates to the recent
commercial exposition at Phila-
delphia, 60 to our country and
study for the first time its methods
and resources, come hack with
opinions so changed that they are
jokinglY called here Germans
who have discovered America"
On the other hand, every Bremen
or Hamburg steamer brings to this
country Americans whose ideas Of
Germany are derived from newly
arrived emIgrants, who still sup
pose that travel, rents, and costs OF
living are cheaper here than at
home, and that in all branches of
manufacture except those in which
hand labor is the principal element,
the Fatherland is far behind the
United States.
These delusions are generally
harmless and lead only to rude,
though often embarrassing, awak-
eninPs on the part OF those who
entertain them. The real injury
is done when, through such ignor-
ance or misunderstanding, bust
ness interests are imperiled, as
Washington sentinel., 1900-05-12

they often are, by disagreements
resulting directly from different
methods OF practice in which each
country thinks its own system the
best and only proper one. Amer
icans-let us admit 1t lrankly-are
prone TO consider our methods the
most practical and best, and to
think that in whatever degree
those OF ether nations differ from
our own the latter are wrong. In
many cases-perhaps maj ajoritY--
the Americans will be right in this
opinion, but not in all; and his ac-
knowledged supremacy as a
master OF practical results does not
always entitle him to be peremp-
tory and uncompromising.
AS an example of how these
differences may affect a special
branch Of trade, there may be cited
certain variations Of practice in the
constru ction, rating and use OF
electrical appliances in Germany.
This was because electrical devel-
opment here had taken on a new
impetus. business was prosperous,
and the three or four great German
makers oil electrical machinery
were working up to their highest
capacity and obtaining for their
product far higher prices than then
ruled Tor similar machinery in the
United States. This led to imports
Of appliances, which were some
times satisfactory, but often not
so, for the reason in most cases
that the buyer who ordered an
American dynamo, motor, rheo-
stat, or other apparatus from
German engineers estimate OF
what was needed had different
ideas on certain points from the
American builder who issued the
catalogue and furnished the mach
inc. Under American practice
electrical machinery is, as a rule,
rated up to its maximum capacity
A 20 horse power motor, for eX-
ample, means with US, machine
which, orking under favorable
conditions TO its full capacity, Will
do that amount OF work, and as
such it is advertised and sold. But
in this country the efficiency OF
such machine is measured, not by
its maximum, but its average or
normal daily performance, which,
as machinery is used in Germany,
may be IS, 20 or IS per cent below
the maximum. So that the Ger
man purchaser who needed to have
a load Of 20 horse power carried
at his factory day by day through.
out the year and ordered a 20
horse power American motor for
that purpose would be disap-
pointed, would feel that he had
been deceived, and make COM
plants which the American would
refuse to entertain because "the
machine was a 20 horse power
motor when il left his manufac-
tory" The real trouble is that
the seller and buyer have different
standards OF rating for the same
machine.

The Frankiurter ZsttHRg of to day
contains a statement made by a

Thereupon Krupp reduced his
price from SI,G4s to S457.38. For
shrapnels Krupp received Sa.o3;
his competitors furnished them at
SI.I9. 1t is an error to say that
Krupp alone can furnish nickel
plates for the navy. The process
OF manufacture is no secret but
is known BY every intelligent man
ufacturer. II there were competi-
ton, the nickel plates could be OBJ
tanned at halt the price paid to
Krupp. The Navy Department,
however, prescribes conditions
which make competition impossi-
