OuRJsLAkD POSSESSIONS
Will Be Among the Richest Rub ;er
Countries In the World.

More than a hundred million dol
lars worth of india rubber has been
| imported into the United States during
the past four years. and more than six
ty million dollars worth in the last
two years. A decade ago the annual
importation of india rubber amounted
to about SIS 900 900, now they exceed
$50 900 900 and are steadily increasing
Practically all of the importations OF
rubber come in crude form for use
of manufactures, who are constantly
extending its application to various
new lines of industry. Northern Bra
ziI southern Mexico, the West Indies
Central Africa. India, the Straits Set
Elements ana the Dutch East Indies
supply this increasingly important
feature of our importations. Probably
no single article has made more rap
idgrowth IN its relations to manufac-
lures and consequently commerce in
the past few years than rubber. AS
consequence attention is now being
given to the cultivation and Systemat-
ic production of the various plants
and trees from which it can be pro-
duced.
The above statement is suggested by
the receipt by the treasury bureau of
statistics of publication detailing the
systematic efforts being made for the
cultivation of india rubber trees and
..
ly those of Central and South Africa.
This, coupled with the well-known
fact that our own department of agri-
culture has already begun experiments
and inquiries in this lines in the is
land territories of the United States.
adds greatly to the interest in this
question and to the possibility that

can producers. The fact that southern
Mexico and Central America are nat
ural producers of india rubber in con-
siderable and increasing quantities,
and that large quantities are produced
in and exported from the islands and
mainland Immediately adjacent to- the
Philippines. suggests great POSSIBLE
ties in this line both in Cuba. Porto
Rico and in the Hawaiian and Philip
pine islands.
India rubber is not. as is generally
supposed. the product of single
tree, but, on the contrary, is produced
from a variety of trees and plants.
Some of these flourish only in a moist
soil and atmosphere. while others
thrive on stony soil. provided they
receive ample. though intermittent,
rainfall: though in all cases a tropical
or subtropical climate is requisite.
Most of the india rubber of South and
Central America and India archi-
pelago the supply of rubber is chiefly
from a gigantic creeper. which in five
years growth attains a length of 200
feet and from twenty to thirty inches
in circumference. and which yields an
nually from fifty to sixty pounds of
caoutchouc, and its production in the
West Indies has been sfficient to indi-
cate the entire Dracticability of itS

Chess and War.

The origin OF chess Is shrouded in
mystery There Is little doubt, how
ever, that its birthplace was in India
and that it is an offspring of a game
called chaturanga, which is mentioned
in oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era.
From India chess spread into Persia.
and thence into Arabia. and ultimately
the Arabs took it into Spain and the
rest of western Europe.
The game was in all probability in
vented for the purpose of illustrating
the art of war. The Arab legend upon
this point is that it was devised for
the instruction of young despot by
his father, a learned Brahman, to teach
him that king, Notwithstanding his
power. was dependent for safety upon
his subjects. The Greek historians
credit the invention of the game to
Palamedes, who, they claim, devised
ii to beguile the tedum of the siege
of Troy during the Trojan war.

The Suns journey Through Space.
BY means of the spectroscope we can
obtain probably more accurate deter
mination of the suns velocity through
space. As Is well known, the velocity
of star in the line of sight can he
found by measuring the displacement
of the lines visible in the stars spec.
trum. Now. tie stars near the position
of the solar "apeX" should be ap.
preaching the earth on account of the
solar motion, and those at the opposite
point of the sky, called the "ant apex"
should be receding.
This method has been employed by
several astronomers, especially by No.
gel at the Potsdam observatory. This
able astronomer has found from an ex-
animation of 40 stars that the sun y
velocity through space is about ~
miles a second, but an examination Of
a larger number of stars would be nee
essary before we could consider this
result as thoroughly established.
From an examination of the spectra
Of IA nebulp Professor Keelcr of the
Lick observatory has found velocities
in the line of sight, and from these the
French astronomer Tisserand has de-
duced a velocity of about 8 1-3 miles
for the solar motion, IA result which
does not differ widely from that found
by Vogel. We may therefore perhaps
conclude that the velocity of the sun s
motion through space is between 6 and
IL miles per seCond.-Gentleman' )

A FRUITFUL HARVEST.

Since the conviction of Calder for
perjury and his sentence to six years
in the penitentiary, a new field is
opened to the possible operations of
courts, which, if properly worked
may yield fruitful harvest. Every
day furnishes instances where the
ends of justice are defeated by reas
on of perjured testimony, and every
trial of any consequence, let it be in
petty justices courts or before the
higher tribunals of law and equity,
has to contend with the perjured,
lying witness.
Lying has been of late so finely
classified that common everyday
Whiteside lie, an expression Of false
hood to one who has no right tc
know the truth-does not count
But where the lie does the greatest
harm is before the Judge or jury
trying honestly to probe matter
where popular right is at stake
when the court feels profoundly sure
that truth is being murdered.

A GREATER THAN DAVIS is

Champ Clark is coming to Mon
tana. Cyclone Davis has hurled his
funnel shaped oratory at the ears of
our people and told his tale of dire
full forebodings. In other words he
has unrolled his terrific elocuton -
and then rolled his blankets for
home. Like John the Baptist lie
preached the gospel of heraldry,
saying ''prepare ye the way of
Champ Clark" The Hozeman
Chronicle chants its praises in the
following magnificat:
The gala day for democracy will
be when Champ Clark comes to
Bozeman. TO hear Champ Clark
speak, will fill the cup of Gallatin
county democracy to overlooking.
Howl ye craggs and peaks. and
all the little hills shout for Joy. Fer
Montana will see the prince of de
mocracy and the coming campaign
will be like duck soup to hungry
pedestrian.
Let the disciples of Clark and Da,
ly bury their tomahawks and come
to Bozeman, for the schooners OF
Gallatin county democracy will be
foaming to the brim.
Let all the brigadier generals oI
Prices army and all the boodlers OF
the last Legislature fall in the pro
cession. For great is the coming
Missourian, and his praises shouIc
be on every tongue.
