RUBBER IN BRAZIL.
Explores Amazon River - Crew
Watch Rubber Gatherers.

BY studying a map of Brazil you can
see that the Para river extends almost
due west, south of the island of Marajo,
to a network of narrow streams, known
as the Passes. which CONNECT the Para
with the Amazon. These numerous
channels IRE from 20 TO $50 yards in
width, and some of them are nuvigable
or vessels OF Is to 20 feet draft. These
Passes are interesting enough to those
traversing them in small craft. but 10
the officers and sailors of such steam
ars as the L. S. S. Wilmington they are
trebly so. At night there is little to
arrest the attention other than the
weird, dark shapes of the banks. which
ever seem close aboard. The land
being low and fiat, and the trees near
the waters edge, it seems as if the ship
has forsaken her natural element and
is running overland on invisible wheels.
When daylight comes in a sudden
burst of light like the unheraded flash
Of the theater's illumination, there is
revealed on each side of the narrow
channel the forest solid wall, exposing
to view panorama of overhanging
branches, brilliant with the multitu-
dinous hues OF tropical vegetation.
There is strange chattering of an
imal life and whirr of winged insects.
The discordant cries of myriad parrots
echo from the trees. There is human
life, too. Here and there uncovered in
the jungle can be seen little wooden
huts, with matched ro1fs and sides
open to the cooling winds.
These are the homes of the rubber
gatherers, who labor day in and day
out collecting the milky sap OF the
Hevea brasiliensis. This rubber gath
ering is interesting, and the Whining
toms crew watch curiously as the wind
ing channel reveals little groups of ma
tives at work along the edge of the
stream.
Those on board who have read the
descriptions tell others of the manner
in which the hali-naked Indians labor,
Of how each family works what il
called an estrada" or street, path
through the forest, which embraces as
many rubber trees as can be convenient
ly tended, of how these trees are slit
with a machete and cup fitted in the
cut to catch the sap, and Of the manner
in which the owner makes his daily
round and brings to his hut the collect
ed juice.
There is also interest in the descrip.
ton of It's next stage, when the sap is
dipped up by stick and revolved over
a smoky fire. The smoke causes each
layer to coagulate on the stick, ard
when the desired amount is formed it
is removed and made ready for ship
ment. These balls Of crude rubber
usually weigh in the neighborhood OF
% pounds, and are Of dark. lustrous
hue. II was a novel experience, this
visit of the Wilmington's crew TO the
home of the rubber gatherers, and the
closest attention was paid to the ever
changing scenery as the white cruiser
steamed slowly along through the
Passes.--Ainslee's Magazine.

A Chiyalrlc Boer.

A private letter from an officer at the
front gives a signal instance of chivalry
on the part of Boer commander. 1t
appears that during the fatal charge at
Magersfontein party of two officers
and twelve men rushed, with sublime
heroism, up to the muzzles of the rifles
in the Boer trenches. So impressed
were the Beers by this extraordinary
gallantry that, moved by common i'm.
pulse, they cast their own weapons
aside and come out of their trenches in
overwhelming numbers, seized the
valorous fourteen and dragged them
into the works. Then after causing
them to be disarmed, the Boer com.
mander exclaimed: "There! You are
free to go. We will not reopen fire
until you are safe within your own
lines. One cannot fight against such
courage as yours. Pail Mall Gazette.

When Hobson left these shores it was
in such blaze of osculatory offerings
that it left behind it trail of some
thing that resembled an antidote for
the admiration we had recently felt for
the yoLngster, and the antidote has re-
NAMED in our memory ever since when
our attention has been called to Hob
son. Because of this it is well and just
to spread the little reference Burton
Holmes made to him in his lecture at
Manila. AS it Glanced, the lecturer
spent a day with Hobson in Hong Kong
last year, and the following day re.
called that it had been the anniversary
of the sinking OF the Merrimac, but
that in no way had the hero of that ep.
ISOLDE referred to the fact, though it
must have been uppermost in his mind.
There was modesty, indeed of the sort
that must feel terribly lonely at times
