GASTILL0A ELASTIGA" RUBBER
RECEIVES FAVORABLE MENTION
Commissioner Wray Taylor Submits
Interesting Information Concern
ing This Important Industry.

The Commissioner of Agriculture,
Wray Taylor, in his report to the
Governor, has goo ddeal to say about
the rubber industry. After much in
vestigation and experiment he has
sent for 500 plants of the rubber
known as Castilloa Elastica, believing
it to be the best one to introduce in
these islands as an industry.
In the current number of the India
Rubber World is an article on Rub
Der Planting Interest" in which is
mentioned mat the Tehuantepec Rub
Der Culture Co. owning 5000 acres in
Mexico has commenced large nur-
sery of Castilloa Elastica seedlings.
The same article gives the following
results of tapping from specimens Of
cultivated Castilloa Elastica rubber
trees by A. B. Choate. Superintendent
of La Soledad plantation on Trinidad

When Richard Wagner was conduct

orchestra Of that institution, though
one of the best In Germany, was far
from being as good as It t. aow, and
Wagner had good deal Of trouble in
making it follow his intentions. Some
years later. when he was living as an
exile, In Zurich, he undertook to train
the local orchestra After q few at
tempts he exclaimed, "Gentleanen, you
have just given me a great pleasure;
you have played exactly as badly as
the Dresden orchestra"

idea thatithey might play better than

efforts have made Jena famous among
scientific men the world over One of
the most picturesque features Of the
Jena glassworks is the great corridor
where the thermometer tubes are
blown and drawn. says correspondent.
We saw this glass in process of man

bit of molten glass from the furnace on
the end of bloYpipe. 1t was hardly
larger than walnut. but by twfrling
and blowing and holding it grew to the
size of an orange. with the shape of an
orange. More glass was then added
and there was more rolling and blow
ing, and when the proper stage was
reached the blowpipe was passed
quickly to the brawny master work
man.
He, in his turn, added glass, blowing
from time to time with cheeks out
pulled until it seemed as though they
must burst. and then rolling the great
ball Of glass on his iron kneading Board
until it looked like huge yellow go,rd.
Faster and faster he worked. keeping
the ball always symmetrical and yet
white hot. At length he lifted the
glowing mass quickly IN the air. and a
second workman attached the blowpipe
at the bottom. Then the two men ran
in opposite directions, twitling the
pipes and blowing Justify from time to
time. From a thick, partly yellow
globe the glass thinned out quickly as
the men ran apart. until it became a
dull red tube not larger than mans
little finger and nearly 800 feet long.
