Making Rubber in Colorado.

The announcement that rubber has
been found in a supposedly useless
weed growing on the arid plateaus
and high mesa lands Of the Colorado
mountains sets at rest all fears of a
rubber shortage. The rubber tree is
a product peculiar to the tropics. The
newly discovered rubber plant Of
Colorado, however, grows at an
altitude of from 5000 to 10000 feet.
where the climate holds all the rigors
of winter and all the whitening force
of a rainless summer. The discovery
of the plant relieves the worlds
rubber market from it's dependence on
the tropics and makes it possible for
rubber to become a stable crop, even
in countries where extreme cold pre-
vails.-The World Today.

MANUFACTURE OF MONEY.
Many Governments Are Supplied by
the Birmingham Mint.


London Daily News-Birmingha
England, has a mint which, in addition
to turning out millions Of. English
coins does more in the way of supply
ing foreign governments with coin
than any other money-making estab-
lishment in the world.
A few days ago it shipped the first
installment of a huge Egyptian order
for 100000 plasters. The consign-
ment weighed five tons, was conveyed
in sixty cases and valued at $15,OOO,-
900. For we'll over century Birming
ham has taken the lead in this literal
kind of money-making. AS far back as
1897 one firm coined under contract
for the British government 1000 tons
of copper Gin, valued at about $4,000
900. Among the countries and govern
ments which have gone time after
time to Birmingham for their money
are India, Tunis, Canada, Turkey,
China, Hongkong, Haiti, Sarawak, Tus-
cany, Venezuela and Chile.
In some instances, notably in that of
China, the coins were not made in Bir-
mingham. AS a matter of fact, no
Chinese coin has, so far as is known,
ever been made outside the celestial
empire. The pride and prejudice of
the Chinese have to be humored, so
the firm sent out a complete plant with
men to operate it. and the coins we're
struck in China. No fewer than eight
Sonaratp nIantS hava hnon sent ont IN
China in this way.
For the new kingdom of Italy the
same thing was done in 1862, 1000
tons of BLANKS" being shipped to
furnish the raw material. Again, in
Marseilles, when the establishment
of the empire under Napoleon III rem
dored necessary a new copper coinage,
! $50 tons of metal were in this way
turned into money on French soil.

A Parrot Detective.

A parrot belonging to Nine. Tarby
of Paris, has won distinction by lead
ing the police to arrest band OF
clever and notorious burglars. The
band broke into Nine. Tarby's house
at time when only the bird was with
in. AS soon as the mistress return
ed the bird, much to her surprise,
saluted her with "Hullo, big feet"
When she discovered the ransacked
state of her house, she sent at once
for the police, and upon the commits
sary arriving he was also greeted
by the parrot with the observation,
"Hullo, big feet!"
The commissary resented the re-
mark, and said "Hush!" to the bird,
which replied at once, ooh, hurry up,
big feet; you are slow, big feet!'
The commissary turned to Nine.
Tarby, and the latter, anticipating a
complaint, fastened to explain to the
indignant officer that the bird had
never used the expression before that
day. At that a light broke in upon
the commissary.
8" Big Feet is the nickname of a
notorious burglar" he exclaimed. 81
see it; your bird has reported the rob-
berry"
Following up the clew, the burglar
and his accomplices were soon arrest
ed, and the bird is to be produced as
a witness against them at the trial.

ADVANTAGE OF BEING SICK.

One of the greatest difficulties in
life is illness when the hands are full
of work and of business requiring at

and anxiety, which causes resistance
to the illness, is even more severe,
and makes more trouble than the i'll

1t is expected that the capacity OF

this evening when the wrestling tour
nament is pulled of. The first pre-
liminary will start at $50 sharp and
from that time until the close OF the
main match all those present will see
continuous work on the mat. John
Murphy Of Oakville and Frank Speh
Of Derby will furnish one Of the pre-
hminaries and this match will be q
fast one. Murphy has not had the ex-
perience accredited to Speh, but he is
a strong, husky lad who will make
Speh hustle from the call of time.
The principals in the main contest
are in excellent condition and ready to
do battle. Conrad said yesterday he
was down to weight and Lawson will
have no trouble as he is always down
to about the prescribed number Of
pounds, 115. The 500 is now in the
hands of the referee and as the winner
will take everything a nice little pile
should be pulled out of the match. A
big crowd is coming from Naugatuck
and all Oakville and WATERFOWL will
be out to back Conrad Hundreds OF
dollars will be wagered on the result.
A big delegation is going up from Wa
terbury to take a hand in the betting.
Some Of the local sports favor Conrad
while Others favor Lawson. 1t Is
