New Rubber Plant.

Rubber being in growing demand, scientific men have been trying to ob- tain it from plants which had not been available commercially before. Two French chemists, NM. Arnaud and Vernuil, have discovered a proc ess by which it may be obtained from the LandoTfa vine, which grows Wild and luxuriantly in nearly all parts Of Africa. The process of tapping the Landolfia is impracticable as the flow of rubber hardeus too quickly. By the new process the vine is crushed in hot water, by which means all the rubber it contains is extracted.

Jack Rabbit Coming East.

The jack rabbit that before the war lived almost entirely on the sandy planis of the west is working it's way eastward. A few were seen, now and then. 25 years ago in western Kansas, but now it has almost reached the Mississippi river. Until the plains were settled, MT. Jack Rabbit fed on the wild plants of the region, but with the breaking of the sod he got his first taste of corn. He concluded that corn was a more agreeable diet than cactus and sage brush, and he has been diligently working eastward, where corn is plentiful. The jack rabbit does not multiply as rapidly as the cotton tail, but he can hold his own. The barbed wire fence must be a great source of comfort to him, too, for he can readily get through it him. self, while dogs and men and horses are delayed by it long enough to allow him to make his escape-Little Chron- icle

BARGE OFFICE ROMNNCE.
Uncle sam's Immigration Laws Fa- cilitate the Work of Sweet
 Master Cupid.

There seem to be manifold opportu- mites among the immigrants coming to America on shipboard for falling ill love, particularly on the slower steamers, when people are thrown to- gether for a i,eriod of from 12 to 1s 0ays. writes John Gilmer Speed. in Ainslee's. Tn this case, worthy young Russian was cheated out of a very pretty bride by a likely Italian fellowtraveler of the maiden. Strangely c. ugh. she knew not one word of ltaHan nor lie a word of Russian; yet the brides countryman was tilted and the panto- mime lovers were married, and set forth grayely and confidently to learn each other and the great new world they had entered at one and the same time. Another case was equally lu- what fckle mind fell in love with fellow voyager, without apprising him of the fact that she was betrothed to another man whom she was to meet at the barge office and marry. It was her intention to hurry ashore with her new lover and outwit the former by prior ceremony; but the red tape of the office prevented that, and the first lover came to welcome his bride She then as promptly fell in love with No. l; but when No. pleaded and threat ened, she could not decide which one she loved the better, so she was de- tained while the two men haunted the barge office gLaring at each other. When the detention had elapsed, the bride, still not knowing her mind. was sent unceremonious,y back on the same steamer that brought her over, both tilted lovers abandoning the field in despair. But on arriving on her native soil once more, the maiden dared not face her people; so back she came. hay ing just money enough to pay her pass age, and sent for Lover No 1. declaring that she loved him the better. He re- pied that he was very much obliged; but as he had already married a hand somer girl in the interval he was com pelled to decline to come for her The maiden then sent word to No ? to like effect, but he declared that he had had enough of the fickle feminine, and thus in defeat the maiden was trans ported back again to face the leers and jeers of her native hamlet.

A City with Two Carriages.

There are only two carriages in town. One belongs to the archbishop, and the other carriage is the property of the government and one of the perquisites that pertain to the presidential power. It is an ordinary landau imported from Paris in pieces and put together by To- cal talent, and native artist has paint ed upon the panels of the doors bril- liant reproduction of the coat of arms of the republic, about foot square, in the national colors-green, yellow and red. This is greatly admired by the populace, who see the carriage only oc- casionally, on state occasions, when it is drawn by four big black horses wear ing harness heavily mounted with sil- yer and decorated with roSettes, tassels and streamers of the national colors.- La Psz CRolivia) Cor.

Treatment by Light Which Has De- come Popular Among Members of ROyalty-satts Results
 of Scientific Research.

The past 12 months have been great time in the world Of heaHng Three things have been pushed to the front which are helping to revoIutlon ize doctoring.
 The most important of these IS the light treatment, which has been ar dently championed by the princess o1 Wales and the dowager empress ol Russia. The princess of Wales was so anxious to see the light treatmen begun here that she hersef prough' one of the first sets of apparatus oD- tainable and presented it to the Lon don hospital.
 The idea of the light treatment IS that sunlight kills the microbes Tn some of the cure establishments o1 southern Germany sun baths are regu- larly used, the patient letting the sun pour down on his uncovered body dnr- ing the hottest part of the day.
 In big cities this cannot he done, but Prof Finsen, of Copenhagen, elao- orated an apparatus by which the rays of the electric light can serve

 In London this treatment has dur ing the past few months been largely used for the cnre of lupus and skin diseases generally.
 But even the most conservative doc tors are beginning to see that the light cure may go very much further. They are now planning ways of apply ing the violet rays, in connection with the Roentgen ray apparatus, to the lungs of consnmptives.
 If this proves right, means will be found for combating a dozen of the most fatal of modern diseases. Even cancer may at last meet real cure.
 Europe is on the eve of a new boom in food. Once beef tea was all the rage, then port wine was the fad, then came milk. But the fancy food stuff of tomorrow is albumen Vari- ous makes are on the market, most of them coming from Germany and bearing fancy names ending in "on." There are plasmon and tropon and somatose, and others. They are all brownish or whitish powders. and you have only to take spoonful day (so the vendors say) to become new man.
 However this may be, the albumen foods are certainly going to boom. In few months it will be quite the thing for ones hostess to ask: Do you take little tropIatose in your tea?" just as she now asks "auy
