Mr.. G. b. Henry, tire maker in the
Goodyear factory, has invented rub

rein of a bride, which promises to
be a great success. A patent has re-
Gently been issued in the names of
Baker & Ellis and G. b. Henry. The
rubber block is designed to take the
place of the leather block which at

that its elasticity prevents the break

stumbles; and the same giving proper
ties make 1t more humane than the
leather block, while serving exactly tie
same purpose. A few of the blocks are
being made at the Goodyear factory
for the patentees. No disposition has
been made Of the patent as yet, but
some good propositions have been re-
ceived.
Something was said In this column a
few days ago regarding the possibili-
ties of rubber in Cuba. In that con-
nection the following from The India
Rubber World is of especial interest:
Fredrico NJ. Castro writes from
Havana to The India Rubber World
that some rubber trees are still stand
ing which were planted about 1880, by
Ramon de la Sagra in the botanical
gardens which stood where the rail
way station at Villanueva is now sit
uated. Jose Antonio del Castillo, a
grandson of Sagra, has on his planta-
tion. "El Algibe," rubber trees planted
by his grandfather. Senor Castro as
serts that these trees, and also others
within his knowledge on Cuban
plantations. are the Castilloa
elastica, with which species he be-
came familiar while manager on "El
Brinco" estate of Ramos Brothers, In
Chicoaloque. canton of Paplanta, state
trees in Cuba, Senor Castro writes, are
of a size and vigor he has never seen
equaled 'in the hot zones of Mexico"
In October last he sent samples Of
rubber from planted trees growing in
Cuba to Flint, Eddy & American
Trading Co New York; from whom
lie received favorable report as to
quality. Senor Castro strongly advises
the planting of rubber in Cuba, as a
certain source of profit. He states,
by the way, that many young seed
lngs of -Castilloa elastica can be OBJ
tanned from the vicinity of the large
trees above referred to. His address

He Was Discharged.

HE is guilty of peddling without

guilty of not obtaining a license, as

Thus Mayor Doyle climaxed the case
against Frank G. Cullen, accused Of
peddling without obtaining a IL
cense.''
A new affidavit will be filed, accusing
Cullen, as outlined by the Mayor, Of
peddling without having paid for his
license, and neglecting to give bond.
In an agreed statement of facts, Cul-
lem admitted that lie had sold apples
from house to house, taking orders
from samples he carried in his hands.
He didn't call that peddling. Cullen
also claimed that the license ordinance
Is invalid, by reason of its ''unreason-
able" fees-$30 and $35.
Mayor Doyle holds that the ordinance
is valid and that Cullen was tech
nically guilty of violating 1t.

nodIe. OF Two French Explorers X

Bodies OF Two French Explorers, Killed
in 1897, Are Recovered.
Over three years ago the French ex-
plorers Bailly and Pauly, started from
che interior Of the French Sudan for
the Ivory coast on the Gulf of Guinea.
They had been exploring tho complete
ly unknown region northeast of Lii
IBERIA and had decided to make q long
Inland journey southwark and to
catch steamer for home on the Ivory
coast. They never reached their des-
tination and many months elapsed be-
core their fate was ascertained. They
we're murdered by members of the
Toma tribe, who chose to regard the
explorers as enemies.
A while ago this fact was escertained
from a chief who had served under
the Sultan Samory. He had lived in
the Toma country and knew of the
massacre. When Samory fell into the
hands of the French Kunady-
the chief who had served him entered
the employ of the French and they sent
him to the Toma country to recover,
IL possible, the bodies of the murdered
men. On May last, he returned to
the French frontier with the skeletons
Of the Inflated explorers. The bodies
were carried in a heavy iron box and
among the carriers were considerable
number of the Toma tribe. Captain
Basset went with an escort Of twenty
artillerymen to escort the bodies to
the village of Boyla. There a guard
was placed over the bodies for the
night and in the morning they were
identified as those OF the murdered
men. The ceremony when the bodies
were buried was made as impressive as
possible. The Tomas promised over
the grave that they would never again
kill white men, Now Kunady-Keleba
has been made the ruler Of the Toma
country, which has been taken under
the authority Of the French govern
ment.-New York Sun.

pills increased as rapidly as financial

are no fewer than 10000 schools, hav-

The Japanese Army.
AS Japan chose the greaest naval
power in the world for model in plan
ming her feet, so she selects the great
est military organization, the German
army, as model for her land forces.
Her army numbers quarter Of a
million men, with some 5000 officers.
The Japanese soldiers proved in their
war with China in 1894, and lately in
the expedition to Pekin, that they are
among the most wonderful fighting
men the world has known. They
aroused universal amazement and I'M
bounded admiration among the Europ-
cans and Americans who saw their
work. In the battlefield, if nowhere
else, the "plucky little Japs" have
gained the worldwide respect for
which they have struggled so long and
SO hard. Their discipline, endurance
and bravery made the Occidental sol
diers open their eyes. When the at
tack was made on Tientsin, the Chi
nese sharpshooters killed man after
man before one could get at the wal
with guncotton. Finally, a Japanese
soldier succeeded in reaching the gate
with two cans of the explosive. Three
times he lighted a long fuse and i
was shot out. Then, to make sure o.
his work, the soldier calmly stood owe
the match. OF course, he knew h,
would be blown to atoms, but the gat,
was shattered, and Tientsin wal
taken.
