shifting the ResponsibiIity.

Sir John Macdonald, when premier
of Canada, one evening was present
at a public dinner at which he was
expected to deliver a rather impor-
tant speech. In the conviviality of the
occasion he forgot the more serious
duty of the evening, and when at a
late hour he rose his speech was by no
means so luminous as it might have
been. The reporter, knowing that it
would not do to print his notes as they
stood, called ON Sir John next day and
told him that he was not quite sure of
having secured an accurate report
He was invited to read over his notes.
but he had not got far when Sir John
interrupted him with THAT is not
what | said" There was pause and
Sir John continued, Let me repeat
my remarks" He then walked up and
down the room and delivered a most
impressive speech in the hearing of the
amused reporter. who took down every
word as II fell from his lips. Having
thanked Sir John for his courtesy. he
was taking his leave when he was re-
called to receive this admonition:

so much money they don't know quite
what to do with it all and are looking

Jr. Mr.. Morgan and Mr. Ryan hob

with King Leopold of Belgium, who
controls the vast rubber trade of the
Kongo Free State. and it is now report
ed that Mr.. Ryan has fixed up some
kind of a deal with the Belgian mon
arch whereby American traders in this
important article of commerce and in
duStry will be able to develop the dis
tricts in which raw rubber is obtained
and increase the worlds supply of this
commodity.
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
1t was utilized by the natives of South
America before Europeans discovered
the continent, but it was not until 1710
that it was put to any industrial use in
civilized countries Then a few pieces
were sent to England and employed by
artists in erasng pencil marks. 1t was

ton in industry on a large scale was
realized. Goodyear had been expert
menting on the subject for six years,
and one evening when sitting by the
kitchen fire descanting on the possibili-
ties of rubber he accidentally struck
handful of rubber and sulphur against
the hot iron of the stove. 1t was the
result of this chance action which re-
vealed to him the secret of the process
of vulcanlzation. All branches of the
rubber business in the United States
today took their permanent rise from
the date of Goodyears patent. The in
vention of the bicycle and the automo-
bile vastly extended the demand for
rubber, and to meet this demand CAPT
talists have sought out for exploitation
all those sections of the earth where
trees producing rubber in commercial
quantities grow. There are about a
hundred trees which give rubber
making juices in sufficient quantities
for commercial purposes. while many
plants have similar juices in small
quantities. Though western and cen
trail Africa and the Amazon district of
South America are depended on for n
large portion of the supply, efforts have
been made to obtain rubber from plan
tatiOns cultivated on scientific princi-
pies in regions more accessible to
trade. Most important of these enter
