Aluminium Novelties.

There has always been suggested in
Vulnerable uses for aluminium, and
many have been advertised; helmets
weighing 500 grains. folding poke:
rules. set squares indication scales, ETC.,
have appeared and met with increasing
favor, but the German firm who has in
troduced the aluminium necktie GER
tainly takes the lead In novelties. These
are made to initiate ordinary necktie
materials. and are recommended for
Summer wear, as being easily cleaned
while they are no heavier than the ordi-
nary necktie fabric.
They are certainly a fitting compile
ment to the ceiluloid collar, and, for
that matter, why not a whole suit OF
clothes Of aluminium; almost any gar
ment, save, perhaps, a bathing suit?

Glass Broken by the Voice.

1t seems incredible. but 1t is true, tina
glass can be broken by the voice. II

CULTIVATED RUBBER.

The United States uses more than
half of all the rubber produced in the
world, and consequently the supply of
the same is a matter of intense interest
to an immense number of industries.
AT the present rate Of consumption and
wastefulness of gathering it is only a
question of few years when the
sources of supply will be exhausted.
Consequently there is deep interest as
to whether it can be raised as Guilt
waited crop. and this seems to have been
solved by j. C. Horter, who some years
ago formed a syndicate to raise rubber
In Central America. He has two planta-
tons in Nicaragua, and in 1904 made
his trial tapping, which resulted in a
yield of about 600 pounds. At that
time the trees were a little over seven
years old, having been transferred from
the nursery in 1898. These have made
rapid growth. and are now from Is to
30 inches in circumference and 80 feet
high Last year Mr.. Horter shipped
5000 pounds of the finest grade of rub
Der, which brought the best price in the
market. He seems to have demonstrate
I'd the success Of the project, and. his
example will doubtless be followed by
many others, as rubber is an exceeding
~ profitable product.
