MAKING INDIA RUBBER.

No doubt many have wondered where all the rubber comes from--we refer to India-rubber. of course. There are those yet living who can remember when 1t was almost as rare as gold, especially among the country people. Ths boy sixty years ago who possessed a rubber ball was an object of envy among his comrades The trees from which the raw material was obtained were immensely plentiful in some parts of the earth but getting the raw ma- teElal and preparing it for use was a. tedious process, hence rlbDer was ior only very linited use.
 The use Of it has increased so won derfuily of late years that many must wonder whers 1t comes from. When we ace 1t not only applied to former usas but So many other uses for which great qualities are necessary, such as tires of nearly all kinds of vehicles, to mention only one very common in- stance. it is hard to account for the supply. That 1t is not inexhaustible Is apparent. however, and that the price has risen within the last few years is not to be wondered at. considering how much of it is required. It is estimated that at least 75.o0e, 900 is now annu- ally paid for the raw material of which the United States pays about two- thirds. The spread of its uses in- creases the demand and the prices, for no substitute for 1t has been found that is at all satisfactory. There Is no sub stance in nature possessing exactly the same qualities that the genuine rubber possesses. and probably none will be found.
 It will doubhess be matter of great surprise to know that rubber can be produced by chemical process. It is not au artificial or imitation rubber not a substitute for it, but the product, we are assured, is actual rubber. As The Hartford Times tells us. this chemical product. when turned over to the man. ufacturers of rubber goods. is put through exactly the same processes as the rubber of South America or Africa, and that the finished product does not differ in appearance in the slightest degree. from the rubber goods with which the world Is familiar. We arc informed that a company has already been organized to manufacture chemi- cal rubber. and that the output at the start will be somewhat less than ton per day"
 Naturally, the secrets of this new process are not made public. or. rather, the process is kept secret, but we learn that 1t can be manufactured at cost of about one-fourth the price of the im- ported article, and that the cost to the producer will not exceed 25 cents pound. If this account is true, and the tariff does not get hold of it and coddle the process as one of the infant indus tries the chances are that there will be a material reduction in the cost of all rubber goods. The Times from which we have quoted, is of the opinion that the growing demand for rubber will in- crease to at least 2OO.0oo.O0o pounds a year, and it well says that a means of supplying this great demand with out recourse to the forests of the trop- ics must be matter of immense im- portance to the whole world.
