India Rubber.

Few articles seem more strangely
named than india rubber. 1t gets the
rubber" from the first use to which it
was put-that of erasing pencil marks
by rubbing Nor should it be assO-
ciated with India. The tree was first
mentioned by an explorer among the
Mexican Indians three centuries ago,
and the first account Of the substance
is In connection with Columbus visit
to Haiti on his second voyage. Most
Of our present importation comes from
Brazil But Columbus and those ex-
plorers who followed him were search
ing for a short passage to India, and
they supposed that the land they dis
covered was India. The name india
rubber is therefore a permanent sign
OF their mistake.

EXPOSITION
NOT COMPLETE
NORFOLK, April "a.

1t is said the jamestown expOsi tion,
on the occasion of its formal opening
on Friday of this week, will be not
more than eighty per cent. finished.
The directors announce with Tegrt
that, so far as the exposition proper is
concerned, it viii not be ready for tie
public on the opening day, or for some
weeks afterward.
This news is not surprising, though
no doubt Disappointing t. the manage
ment. 1t is not Of record that anv en-
terprise of this character has been full
ly prepared for opening day" The
exposition management capable of so
expediting its work as to overcome the
countless delays that beset the prelin.
inaries has get to be discovered. Ex
perienCe doesn't seem to count for
much in matters of this sort, for !ch
new exposition is confronted with the
unexpected development of conditions
not encountered in any previous affair
of the kind, and tile allowances" Of
time for such coutiue eencies never seem
to have been made ample to meet all
of them
In the case of the jamestown ex-
position the management is fortunate
in not having to depend on the exposi-
tion proper for the attractions of
"opening day" President Roosevelt
will be there, and in Hampton Roads
will ride the greatest feet of warships
ever assembled, including the Atlantic
Squadron Of the United States and
ships from every navy on the globe.
With these and other drawing cards -
the exposition people expect to make a
good showing in the way of attend
ance on opening day" TIE exposi-
tion itself Will get down to business
later on.

1t at least served to occupy his

Since the cutoff had been built most

and just a suggestion of white as she
vanished around the corner to the
dressing room.

merrily as though they had been old

chatted away on lmpersonal topics
and Clifton was charmed. In contrast
with the loneliness of the morning in

doubly attractive, and he was surpris-

light the lights A number of per
sons had boarded the car through the
afternoon but he had scarcely noticed
them.
He was sorry now that he had ar

He was sorry that he was not going
