Jean Firot, editor of the Revue des

striking fashion. He said:
Great Britain deserves the name

French colonies. France is SC bound

HI Got 1t.

The judge, the sheriff. the coroner
and the chief of police of Red Gulch
were enjoying little game of poker
The pot was large and there was con,
siderable excitement. The judge
called the sheriff, who casually re-
marked:
Il hold four aces. What do you
hold?"
Il hold bowie knife" promptly re.
turned the judge, as he perceived a
fifth ace in his own hand.
"And l hold a gum" exclaimed the
chief of police, as he realized that he
was hot entirely destitute of aces him
SELF
The coroner quickly dived under the
table nd waited. Presently, when the
smoke Of battle had been cleared
away, he crawled out.
Il hold IN inquest" he commented.
"and gu IS that takes the pot"

NEW GUTTA PERCHA TREE.
Valuable Discovery Recently Made In
the Valley Of the Amazon.

the ValIey CT the Amazon.
Up to quite recent date the world
has relied on the rubber tree for its
supply of gutta reycha, and on &C.
count of the limiteG 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 it's gum produc-
ing properties and were founc cutting
down the trees for fireWood and build
ing material. A Concession was bought
and the practical work of producing
gutta .>ercha for the 10 arket begun
There is practically PC limit tc the
supply of gutta percha on the Amazon
and it can be produced at a 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 'kieeders, it is said, can be
employed. The trees yield many tim es
as much sap as the rubber trees and
one man can gather as much gutta
percha in day as twenty man can
extract from the rubber tree. Each
tree will average thee and a half
pounds and one competent "bleeder"
can prepare forty to fifty pounds per
day. The gum is fermented and then
dried in The sun, after which it Is
ready for shipment
