Americas Drink Bill.

Americas total drink bill, for all
kinds Of stimulating beverages, includ-
ing tea and coffee, is %one-fourth the to-
tai estimated production of the cot
ton, wheat. corn, hay and tobacco crops
and every other product of farms. 1t
amounts to One-eighth Of the nations
total expenditure for food.
Estimates of the cost OF stimulating
beverages, as ~publiGhed by the Amer

cos has risen from $1,273,212,3s6 to

The work Of the forest service in
gathering statistics of forest products
for the last year has furnished the
basis for a provisional statement Of
the wood consumed in the manufac.
ture of paper pulp. Returns from 1873
firms, controlling 232 pulp mills, give
over 5000. 600 cords as the total
amount Of wood used. The wood used
was divided among the various proc
csses as follows: Sulphitc, l.53S, 600
cords; soda, 10000 cords; ground
wood, ,OGS 600 cords. The total pulp
production by all processes by the
firms reporting was l,993, 0oO tons.
According to the census Of 1900, the
consumption Of pulpwOod was then
l,9SG,3lO cords, 50 that there has been
an increase Of more than 80 per cent.
in the last six years. This demon
~strates, in a striking manner, the
drain upon the forests caused by the
pulp industry.

THE TUCUMCARI NEWS
The Worlds Wheat.

It seems Il curious thought that the
supremacy of western civilization
the ~ascendency Of the wheat.eaters
over the rice.eaters-may ultimately
depend upon the discovery of some
cheap process of producing nitrates;
but so eminent an authority as Sir
William Ramsey is sponsor for the
statement. More than five years ago,
says Youths Companion, Sir william
Crookes declared the population of the
world to be increasing so rapidly that
in II short time the supply of wheat
would be insufficient. Since then prog
rcss has becn made in several eX-
periments directed toward increasing
the worlds harvest Of wheat. Never
theless, many scientific men feel that
Il wheat famine within a few genera
lions is among the possibilities. Eff
forts toward averting or postponing
this condition are directed: First, to-
ward increasing the acreage-a process
which is self-limited; secondly. toward
increasing the yield per acre by i'm
proving the seed and selecting that
which is best suited to the locality
where it is to be planted; thirdly, to.
ward increasing the crop by feeding
the plants more generously with nitro
gen through alienation with nOdule-
producing leguminous plants-a proc
ess developed in the United States de-
partment OF agriculture; and, fourth
~. by the manufacture of n%itrates. For
years the supply Of n@itrates has come
from Chilli, but that source is nearing
exhaustion. The sewage Of cities
would supply enormous quantities if
there could be found some method OF
saving and applying it which would
not endanger public health. 1t is c5-
timated that $4,000, geo worth CT fer
tilizcr goes annually to waste in this
way in England alone. The artificial
manufacture. or rather the fiXatiOn, OF
nitrogen looks to the air as the great
source Of supply. But the processes
now in use are complicated and eXpen-
Sive. Many patents have been issued.
One of the latest plants is that at
S~vaelgfoss, Norway, in which IA water
fall of 10000 horsepower has been
utilized TO generate electricity, by
which nitrogen is taken from the air
and absorbed by lime. The resulting
calcium nitrate is a powerful fertil.
iZer. In this problem the young chem
lists and the young electricians OF to.
day have a work which will tax the
ables and ought to satisfy the most
ambitious.

 Have you ever asked policeman what the sweatbox is and had him say: There is no sWeatboX, and then have you seen the prisoner, white and trembling, shiver at the word?
 "There is a sweatboX.

 There are many ways of putting a prisoner through the sWeatboX, but the general plan is the same. The prisoner is placed in a cell He is not allowed to sleep. He is given lit tie food A dozen policemen, follow ing each other, keep the prisoner awake and break his nerve, little by little.

tion in industry on q large scale was realized. Goodyear had been eXperi- menting on the subject for six years and one evening when sitting by the kitchen fire descending on the possiblll ties of rubber he accidentally struck d handful of rubber and sulphur against the hot iron of the stove It was the result of this chance action which re= vealed to him the secret of the process of vulcanization. All branches of the rubber business in the United States today took their permanent rise from the date of Goodyear,s patent. The ln- vention of the bicycle and the automo- bile vastly extended the demand for rubber, and to meet this demand capi- talists have sought out for exploitation all those sections of the earth where trees producing rubber ill commercial IAQuantities grow. There are about a 9Alundred trees which give rubber making juices in sufficient quantities for commercial purposes, while many plants have similar juices ill small quantities. Though western and cen 
 South America are depended on for a large portion of the supply, efforts have been made to obtain rubber from plan tations cultivated on scientific princi- ples in regions more accessible to trade Most important of these enter prises at present are those of Mexico. It is expected that in time the Philip pines will become an important source of supply for the United States.
 Of course there is mnch difference in the appearances of the trees and plants which produce caoutchouc or rubber, but the kewatta or rubber tree of west Africa, which supplies a great deal of the sap from which rub Der is made, is one of the most beau tiful trees of the forest and grows to height of forty to sixty feet. The tree Is tapped, allowing the juice to flow until it Is exhausted. Later another incision is made. The sap is caught Tn cups or alabashes The rubber Is brought to ,~arket by caravans of ma tives and sometimes by canoes. The value of the annual rubber product exceeds $20O o0O,O00 and several hun dred thousand men are employed 1T the industry

 Considering the variety of purposes for which rubber is used today, it is hard to imagine how our ancestors managed to get along without the ar ticle. Yet it is rather less than sixty years ago that it came into general use. It was utilized by the natives of South America before Europeans discovered the continent but it was not until ITO that it was put to any industrial use in civilized countries.
