AT the
Other End
By CLAUDE PAMARES

Mr.. Felix Bradbury sat in the smok-
ing room of a hotel and smoked a
cigar. Last week he was Mr.. James
Taylor; the week before that he was
Mr.. Hiram Brown. Mr.. Felix Brad
bury changed his name and his habita-
ton as often as he thought the police
had discovered him.
Sometimes they hustled him around
pretty lively, and again they let him
rest and take on flesh. This was II of
his resting spells. and yet he was not
quite happy. His funds were 1T a ow

ten year sentence. and nothing in his
line seemed TO turn mp.
Mr.. Bradbury's specially was rack
ing cribs. With him ''crib" meant any
thing with Il roof ON it-dwelling, store,
bank or warehouse. He was also a
fair hand at the confidence game and
had been known to rob half n dozen
guests of a hotel the same evening.
Taken all in all, he was a good all
round man, and it wasn't his fault that
luck was against him. Even If his
money was low he was making a big
bluff by dressing well and ordering the
best the menu afforded. Mr.. Bradbury
was wondering how much the next de-
tective who arrested him would de-
mand for letting him 90 again when
one of the bell boys suddenly appeared
and said:
"You are wanted at the telephone,
sir"
The gentleman Of the jimmy gave a
start of surprise and then proceeded to
the instrument in the next room. Few
knew Of his presence in the city, and
they would hardly chance calling him
up over the wire. The problem was
soon solved, however. In answer to his
hello a girls voice started off with:

ply of Mr.. Bradbury, who instantly

Mr.. Bradbury, with his heart in his
mouth as he thought of those bonds

Somewhere within a few miles of Felix
Bradbury was a house in which there
were a sick mother, a father laid up
with a sprain and a girl of eighteen or
twenty the sole protector. In that
house were 10000 worth of bonds
ready to be had for the taking, and it
Is needless TO say hat the man of
many names felt his mouth water at

cursed fate because he didn't know the

assistance. Providence does assist the

A $4,000, 900 PRIZE.

You Can Earn II h. Reversing IL Sim
pie Chemical Formula.
If any ambitious young man would
like to earn 10000 900 next year he
has a chance. The world will gladly
pay him that or even more if he will
show how to make india rubber cheap
ly. All he has to do Is to reverse a
well known chemical reaction.
Any freshman chemist can do it-on
paper. This is all there Is to 1t:
2C5Hs=C1OH16
Isoprene-Caoutchouc.
1t has been known for sixty years
that heating caoutchouc gave isoprene,
but nobody knows how to reverse the
process.
1t is not impossible. In fact, 1t has
been done on n small scale, for iso-
prene allowed to stand a long time In
the laboratory has spontaneously
changed into caoutchouc. II, then, one
could accelerate and complete the
process the main difficulty would be
overcome, for isoprene can be made
from turpentlne.
Then, says the Independent, the rub
Der industry would be transferred from
the forests of Brazil to our own pine
woods, provided, of course, the manu-
facture were cheap enough.
Chemists can do a great many things
that they do not because 1t does not
pay. They can manufacture quinine
artiicially, but the process Is too ex-
pensive to be profitable.
On the other hand, Germany HIS
snatched from India an industry worth
many millions n year by the discovery
of an economical process for the manu-
facture Of indigo. 1t is cheaper and
better to make 1t than to raise 1t.
Such will probably be the case with
rubber, although Its present high price
Is not likely to last much longer. The
jump In price came from the sudden
demand caused by many new uses.
The natives of Brazil could keep us
In gum shoes and rain coats by their
slow process Of tapping the trees,
catching the juice In little clay cups
and boiling 1t down over a wood fire,
but now that the world Is using 10000
tons Of rubber a year and Is calling. for
more all sorts of expedlents have been
practiced.
Rubber goods were weighted and
adulterated until they cracked and
crumbled at. a touch. Old rubber was
carefully collected and reworked, but
1t never could be made to regain Its
youthful elasticity and ylgor.
The Increased demand has been met
in various ways. 1t was found that
nearly all paints with milky Juice, snch
as the poppy, contained canutchouc-at
least In small quantities-nnd from
some Of them IL could be proftably ex-
tracted.
Instead of waiting for the caoutchouc
to rise slowly, like cream, from the
milky juice or collecting 1t by rude
and dirty methods Of coagulatlon. the
/ centrifugal separator was introduced
and n much purer product quickly OBJ
talncd. Countries posscsslng suitable
tropical colonies established extensive
rubber plantations.
The Para rubber tree begins to yield
when six or seven years old. and al
ready the cultivated rubber Is becom-
Ing an important factor. Within seven
years 1t Is expected that the product Of
the trees now planted in Ceylon and
the Malay states will reach between
100000 and 15,000,000 pounds a year
and in double that time will be five
times as great, or as much as Is now
yielded by the Amazon forests.
