NEW SOURCE OF ourrAPERcHA
4 German Says the Trees That Produce
 It VIII Grow in the Philippines

In monograph, just published in Germany, it 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 underrated 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 hi lerto been drawn are almost entirely eX- hausted The cause of this exhaus- tion 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 rutn1essly cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might scrape the guttapereha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark. This whole sale destruction carried on for years has greatly diminished the annual crop. but the discovery that these trees grow and can be successfully eulti- vated in the Philippines offers hope that a 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 NO we'll adapt ed. It's 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 1853 knots, representing a 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 un- limited. The wealth which gutta- pereha in the Philippines holds out to American enterprise is in proportion .0 this demand.

THE WORLD GROWING BETTER.
The People as Whole Infinitely Better
 Off Than Centory Ago.


 That the world is constantly grow ing better is evident to any observer who will take the trouble tc iosk about him and compare present conditions with those existing a century ago. In a contribution to New York paper this fact IS strongly brought out by Prof. John Bach McMaster, the we'll known historian. A century ago, says the professor, labor was performed in the south almost exclusively by slaves, and in the north largely by "redemp- tioners," who were in effect temporary slaves. When the redemptioner finally get his freedom he had to work for wages th.at would barely sustain life; or he had the alternative of pressing stern nature and bloodthirsty sayages for the right to live. And woe be to the poor wretch who fell sick anu got into debt. In New York as late as 1916 there were 1,984 persons jailed for debt, and 729 of these owed less than S25 each, and had been imprisoned for spite" Today the Workingman no longer tolls from sunrise to sunset, as he did then. He is no longer subject to imprisonment for honest debt. Wages q century ago were paid when the employer pleased. Now they are paid daily or weekly, and the laborer is protected by lien laws. Railroads and machinery have enabled him to eat better food and wear better clothes than ever before. Increased blessings of the same kind are enjoyed by wo- men. Nor is the increase of happiness confined to any class. The steady march of civilization has made every body broader minded and more hu- mane. Diseases once the scourge of the world are feared no more. A face pitted with smallpox is as rare now as it was common century ago. Yel- low fever and cholera have lost their terrors with the increase Of cleanliness Anestheties have almost annihilated pain. Cheap books, magazines and newspapers have made ignorance and -mindedness the badges of dis grace. Cruel punishments are aban- doned and a spirit of humanity and charity peryades the thought and the activities of the civilized world Prof. McMaster may well remark that the man who can contemplate these changes and still be q pessimist is men, tally diseased.
