That night TUESDAY March 12) we
camped with some Indian travellers in
the mountains, the last range we had
10 pass, and In some respects the
grandest range Of them all. There we
saw great fire flies, spoken Of by Ste
yens as producing sufficient light to en-
able one to read the print of n news
paper on the darkest night; we heard
also the bark and growl Of the monkey
in the forest, and in the night we were
annoyed by something In the trees
casting twigs down at us. Some Of
these twigs fell close TO us. Perhaps
the offender was a monkey taking re-

"a RUBBER PLANTATION
A rubber plantation Is some
thing new in the world. AT present
the supply principally comes from
the virgin forests OF Brazil But three
companies OF Americans are organized
to plant rubber under the names Of the
Rio Michol Rubber company, the CHI
apas Rubber Plantation and Invest
ment company, and the Palenque Rub
Der Plantation company. These have
twenty-four thousand acres Of the best
land IN Mexico, or indeed In Central
America. which they hope soon TO have
into an immense field OF rubber trees.
And why not make a fortune raising
rubber? The crude article brings a
dollar a pound In the market, and a
tree four or five years old yields from
two pounds to four pounds per year,
The taking OF the sap, and its CONVEX
sion into rubber are very simple and
inexpensive. or course the expensive
part OF the farm comes first The clear
ing and planting and tending the trees
for the first four years cost money. Mr.
Morton, who Is working for the second
company named above. is just now
clearing the land. He has a couple OF
thousand trees already out, but they
are experimental. He intends TO plant
the seed direct and use the nursery only
for replanting where necessary. The
underbrush alone IL cleared away, the
larger trees are left standing on the
theory that the rubber tree yields more
