In the multiplicity of our home cares and

bership OF 1914 We're organized between

To make real home out of material

RUBBER GROWING IN SIAM.
Thousands Of Plants Recently Set Out
Are Expected to Make
Large Yield.

The cultivation Of rubber in Sian
has only recently been started, some
thousands OF plants having been Sc
out as an experiment. These plants o.
the Para variety (Hevea braslensisl
are said to be doing exceedingly well
although 1 believe they have had nc
especial care, but have been planted
lndiscriminately in various places anc
Under varying conditions Of moisture
sun, etc. Ills still too soon to tel
what the ultimate result Of this ven
ture will be, but am Of the opinion
that 1t will prove highly successful
There Is, however, one thing to fear
namely, tie new se-called disease
which l hear has developed in the Para
rubber plantations of the Malay PENN
sula. / can learn nothing definite
about this pest, except that 1t attacks
the Leaves and is very destructive.
am. ffisliHed to the opinion that 1t is
caused by the larvae OF some insect
In this connection 1t may be inter-
esting, to note two Of the rubber-pro-
ducing plants indigenous to Siam. The
more important of these Is the FicuS
elastiOa, so much used In the United
States for ornamental purposes and
found In large quantities in the
siamsse jungle and throughout India
and ndo-China generally:
Rubber is collected from these trees
by the simple process of making lengi-
tudinal scarifications in the bark. from
which the coagulated milk is taken in
long strips. 1t is SAID that plant six
years old will yield four pounds Of
rubber annually Of q quality which
could be sold in London at about 80
cents per pound, but this price APP
pears to me to be a trihe exaggerated.
The other rubber-producing plant Of
known commercial value is creeper
Of great size. probably one Of the
Urce9la, (either u esculenta or U.
elasti6 although from certain de-
scriptio1s am sometimes inclined to
believe 1t to be Willughbeia. 1t Is
most difficult to obtain any reliable
information on the subject, from a
botanical point of view, and 1t is quite
possible that both are Indigenous to
Slam. These creepers, whatever they
may be. yield a fair quality Of rubber,
produced BY cutting them into sections
two or three feet long and collecting
the juice, which is subsequently boiled
for a moment in water and immediate
ly coagplates into O Viscous massr
which has to be dried by smoking
over a fire before 1t can be handled
The bark Is also used. and upon being
pounded and boiled gives about ten
per cent. Of a rather inferior rubber.
1t is said that these creepeFs grow
with astonishing rapidlty, and that
two or three weeks after being Gu.
down they show a growth Of six or
seven feet
I believe that both the F. elastica
and these creepers could be cultivated
with profit In the Philippine islands.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 5.-Reports have
Seen revived here tonight to the effect
that the car Il planning to go 10 the
front, and the fact that the imperial train
has been fitted out for long journey,
lends color to the rumors, which are gen.
orally given credence.
Emperor Nicholas has to hurry strong
reinfol cemenls to General Kuropatkin.
To this end ~ has ordered the mobiliza-
ton of three army corps, which will in
crease the fore in the far east by LOG, 900
men.
The car today held long conference
with Admiral RoJestivonsky, after which
he reviewed the Baltic feet. 1t is re-
ported that the Baltic feet will sail for
the far east tomorrow.
A dispatch tonight reports the explosion
of a powder magazine at Port Arthur.
Tremendous destruction was done.
Field Marshal Oyams, with bis whole
army, has crossed the Tsitse river and 10
pursuing General Kuropatkin. 1t is report
ed here tonight that General Kuropatkin
has been obliged to abandon 200 guns.
Dispatches to the st. Petersburg news-
papers from Chefoo describing the assault
on Port Arthur between August q and
81 say
There have been severe losses OH both
sides, the Russian casualties probably
numbering 1000 and the Japanese 5000.
Speaking geueralIy,th assaults have prov
ed too expensive for the results obtained
and japanese opinion here suggests that
more deliberate methods be adopted.
Sand bag batteries are being built ex-
tesively and the advance is being carried
forward by trenching
Fourteen regiments will leave Toxic
this weeI, to supplement Losses outside at
Port Arthur, which are authoritstiveiy
estimated at $4,000. The japanese con.
tinue to maintain the attacking force at a
strength $4,000 The garrison Is estima-

Late Mar News

The only direct news from the seat Of
war Learing Sunday'G date came by way Of
Toxic 10 report from Field Marshal
Oyma saying that Lao Yang fell complete
~ into the hands of the japanese at 8
pollock that morning; that the japanese
causualties were believed to be heavy and
that nothing was known by the Japanese
concerning conditions on the right bank
of the Taitse River.
The only comfort for the Russians at
home was the news conveyed in report
from General Kuropstkin, dated Saturday
afternoon, that General Stsckeberg's first
Siberian army corps Of $4,000 men report
ed Saturday az having been cut of 10 the
westward of Lao Yang, had been safely
extricated and that the corps has succeed
ed in joining the main Russian body on
the right bank of the river, but no details
of the escape OF Stackleburg are known. :
General Kuropatkin also reported that
greater portion of his army was at thetime
of filing tue report south Of Yentai, ten
miles northwest of Lao Yang, and few
miles from the Yentai mines, where fierce
fighting had been in progress.
II has been indicated that there has been
a cessation CT the fercer fighting, Kuro.
patkin reporting that bis men were not
being much interfered with by the Jap
anese in the neighborhood of bis army.
In st. Petersburg the absence Of news is
looked upon as Frightening the gravity OF
the situation for the Russians.
1t was reported in ST.. Petersburg Sun
day night that Kuropatkin lad arrived at
Tiehling, which Is ten miles north Of YEN
tai, and eighteen miles south Of Mukden.

Prosperity OF California Jews.

In the great towns of California the
Jews lead. Much OF the wealth of San
Francisco Is owned by Jews, and the
names OF the race may be seen on ey-
cry important thoroughfare in that
city. The choicest residence district
OF Los Angeles is almost entirely own
ed by the Hebrews, In the midst OF
which they have their beautiful syna-
gogue, well supported and attended by
the principal Hebrew families, Look,
Ing at the names on one principal thor,
oughfare IL would seem as II the en-.
tire street We're controlled by the cho.
sen people.
The Hebrew controls the new Amer
lean ostrich feather industry, enc of
the bonanzas OF California. The Cali
fornia wine business is almost entirely
In the hands OF Jews. The principal
meat packing houses are under the
control Of Hebrews. The petroleum In
southern California last year amount.
ed to S12,500.000. Many Of the leading
oil brokers are Jews who have reaped
n rich harvest in the last few years in
this fortunate speculation.
The largest Wholesale saddiery, gro
Gerry and tobacco firms of Los Angeles
are owned by Jews, as they are also
In San Francisco. They control the
hop trade. the tobacco trade, the cloth
Ing trade and very much of the whole
sale drug trade. Fifty million dollars
capital reposes in the banks of Los An
geles, and the largest and most infiu-
entail OF these banks are controlled by
Hebrews.-Me

A Great CAPITAL CITY.

indianapolis. like Jerusalem. "a CITY
at unity with ITSELF" where the tribes
assemble. and where the seat of judg-
ment is established, is I'm every sense
the capital of all the Hoosiers. With
the exception OF Boston and Provi-
dence 1t Is the largest state capital I'm
the country, and no other American
city without water communication is
as large. 1t is distinguished primarily
by the essentially American character
of its people. The total foreign born
population of indianapolis at the last
census was only 1900, whereas Hart
ford. which Is only half the size of
the city OF indianapolis, returned o.
600; Rochester, with 1000 fewer peo-
pie, returned 10000, and Worcester.
In total OF $4,000, reported $1,000 as
foreign born. A considerable body of
Germans and German-Amerlcans have
contributed much to the making of the
city, but the town has been passed
over by the Swedes, Poles and Bohe-
mians that are to be reckoned within
many American cities. There are.
however. 5000 negro voters in the city.
Indianapolis is marked again by the
stability OF its population. large per-
centage OF the householders own their
homes. and substantial body Of labor
Is thus assured to the community

WHY Rrrin.l.iI.eft

Bruinski, the pet bear of the Column
bias jackies, was not sent to the ZOO
because he tried to eat the captains
dog, says an officer of the ship. but be-
cause he turned q solemn ceremony In
to a farce. Every day after dinner
Bruinski and his particular friends in
dulged In a nap. Bruinski stretched
himself out on the deck. and his chums
spread themselves around him, using
him as n pillow. Just after Captain
Wilde took command OF the yard he
sent word that be was going to visit
the ship at certain hour
The men were mustered as quickly
as possible TO receive him with all the
honors. Brulnski's friends, with the
others. responded to the boatswain's
call, but Bruinski slumbsred on until
after the men were all lined ND on
deck. Then he reused and, missing
his friends, went to seek them. He
mounted TO the deck where the men
were lined up and, erect on bis hind
feet, passed slowly down the long line
until he came to the group OF his as
sociates.
Then he turned and, backing slowly,
wedged himself into the line. His SOL
emn visage and pendulous paws were
too much FOR the commandant as well
as the other officers. The ceremony
was cut short and Bruinski hustled
below. The captain of the ship thought
the presence Of the bear could be dis
pensed with after that. and he received
permanent shore leave.-Philadelphis
