India rubber, or caoutcbouc, is dry,

RIGS off the rubber hunters like dies,
and the percentage Of those who re-
turn from the expedition is very low.
Many properties Of n vegetable emul-
sion are possessed by the sap. which
contnns the caoutchouc In the form of
myriuds Of minute globules. The proc.
ess Of tapping the trees for the sap is
closely akin TO the method of extract

North America. The sap is collected

mitted to "a hent and smoke treatment.

the vessel the end Of the pole is be-
smearcd with the sticky substance.
The rubber is then held I'm the smoke
