NEW GUTTA PERcHA TREE.
Valuable Discovery Recently Made in
the Valley of the Amazon.

the Valley of the Amazon.
UP to quite recent date the world
has relied on the rubber tree for it's
supply of gutta percha, and on ac-
count of the limited area in which this
plant grows the product has been ex-
ceedingly expensive. A short time ago
a gutta percha merchant in the Guia-
mas in examining the Amazon region
in South America found the balata
tree growing in abundance near Para
and on the Amazon and it's tributaries
for thousands of miles. The Brazilians
had no knowledge Of its gum-produc-
ing properties and were found cutting
down the trees for fireWood and build
ing material A concession was bought
and the practical work of producing
gutta percha for the market begun.
There is practically no limit to the
supply of gutta percha on the Amazon
and it can be produced at fraction
of the cost of rubber. The method of
bleeding" the balata tree is entirely
different from that used to extract the
gum of the rubber tree and only eX-
pert "bleeders," it is said, can be
employed. The trees yield many times
as much sap as the rubber trees and
one man can gather as much gutta
percha in a day as twenty man can
| extract from the rubber tree. Each
tree will average three and a hall
pounds and one competent "bleeder'
can prepare forty to fifty pounds pei
day. The gum is fermented and ther
dried in the sun, after which it
ready for shipment.

Furnishing a Chinese Striker.

Punishment of 100 blows and two
weeks Imprisonment was the sentence
of a Shanghai court in recent case
Of an engineer who left his employers
without due notice. Because other
employees of the company profited by
an advance in wages and the engi
neers were overslaughed and defend
ant in company with seven other en-
gineers struck. Aas result the
launches on which they were at work
were left idle for an entire morning
and filters had to be brought out Of
the machine shops to take the places
Of the strikers. The company prose.
cutting the case contended that as the
men were employed by the month they
should have given a months notice OF
their intention to leave, a position in
which it was upheld by the court

pounds left him by Lady Capel. For
he had been wounded in his side, and
dangerous Inflammation having set
fatal result.
Katherine was not a rapid thinker.
She had little, either, of that instinct
which serves some women instead OF
all other prudences. The one thought
that dominated all others was that her
husband had fought and fallen for
Lady Suffolk. All these years she
had been a sighted and deceived
woman.
ITO London l will not CO." she de-
cided. There is some wicked plan
for me. The will and the papers are
wanted, that they may be altered to
suit it. I will stay here with my child.
Even sorrow great as mine is best
borne in ones own home"
She went to the escritoire to get the
papers. When she opened the sense
less chamber of wood, she found her
self in the presence of many a tortur-
ing, tender memory. In an open slide
there was rude picture of a horse.
1t was little Joris' first attempt to
draw Mephisto, and it had been care
fully put away. The place was full Of
such appeals. Among them was a ring
that Hyde's father had given him, his
mothers last letter, lock of his sons
hair, her own first letter-the shy,
anxious note that she wrote to Mrs.
Gordon. Then she began to arrange
the papers according to their size, and
small sealed parcel slipped from
among them.
She turned it over and over In her
hand, and the temptation to see the
love-token inside became greater
every moment.
IF in this parcel there is some love-
pledge from Lady Suffolk, then l go
not; nothing shall make me go. II in
it there is no word of her, no mes.
sage to her or from her; if her name
is not there, nor the letters of her
name-then l will go to my own. A
new love, one not year old, can put
aside. will forgive every one but
I my Lady Suffolk"
So Katherine decided as she broke
the seal with firmness and rapidity.
The first paper within the cover made
her tremble. 1t was a half sheet
which she had taken one day from
BRAINS hand, and it had Bram's name
across it. On it she had written the
first few lines which she had the right
to sign katherine Hyde" 1t was
indeed her first wife" letter; and
within it was the precious lovetoken
her own love-token-the bow OF
orange ribbon.
She gave a sharp cry as it fell upon
the desk; and then she lifted and
kissed it, and held it to her breast, as
she rocked herself to and fro in a
passionate transport of triumphant
love.

Some Court Decisions.

A recent decision by Missouri
court relative to the kicking propen-
stiles and total depravity of the mule
recalls a decision of an Irish judge
that bees are dangerous and malici-
Gus creatures" and that no one has a
right to keep them in unreasonable
numbers or in an improper place.
Both decisions may be set down
among the curiosities of legal wisdom
with the decision that pigeons are not
domestic animals, that frogs are fish
ard that horses are cattle. 1t has at
least to be decided what Is an unrea
sonable number of bees. Leland, it.
self has somewhere between 10000 and
AZ, 900 hives, yielding honey by hun
dreds of tons in year, and the largest
bee-owner in the world, who lives in
California, has 5000 hives which are
worth handsome fortune every year
