PANAMA is RICH IN RUBBER.
Interesting Method Employed in Saw
ina the Valuable Product.

Rubber plantations may become an
important element in the industrial
life of Panama. The rubber tree
thrives we'll on the isthmus. The pro-
ductive life of this tree is twenty-five
years, it Is indigenous 10 the country
and is found growing wild on both
coasts of the republic. 1t will not
stand high winds. so windbreaks.
either natural or artificial, must be
provided. 1t requires a well drained,
rich, loamy soil that will give plenty
of moisture during the dry season and
no tcontain stagnant water or be sog-
gy during the wet season.
The rubber is obtained by making
an incision into the bark Of the tree.
From the opening flows a light yellow,
viscid liquid containing from 81 TO a
per cent of pure rubber. When sub
jected to heat this liquid ev%aporates.
leaving the rubber as a residue. The
rubber tree is generally tapped when
it is eight years old. Tappings made
in April and November e TO give
the best results. From twenty to
twenty-five trees can he tapped in a
day, but the work must be done in a
careful and systematic manner The
most favored method on the iSthmus
is to make two or three V or rectan-
gular shaped incisiOns in the lower
part of the trunk and allow the sap
to flow into earthen vessels, from
which it is poured into a barrel and a
solution of five ounces Of chloride or
subcarbonate of sodium is added. with
sufficient water to cover. 1t is stirred
frequently for twenty-four to thirty-six
hours, when the water is drawn off by
means of a faucet in the bottom OF
the barrel. This operation separates
the rubber and is repeated until the
product turns white.
The number of rubber trees in Pan
anna is estimated at 100000, which
does not include 200. 900 trees growing
wild in the dense forests of VeraguaS
province. The India rubber exports
from Panama to foreign countries
during the year 1905 were estimated
at 10000 pounds, valued at $4,000
gold. The total shipped from Colon
to the United States during the same
period was estimated at 10000 pounds,
valued at $4,000 gold.

NEED OF UNIVERSAL MONEY.
international Coin Would Save a Good
Deal Lost in EXCHANGE.

Deal Lost IN Exchange.
Charles Steckler. who has just re-
turned from a trip to the Orient, Is a
convert to the idea that universal
money would be a great thing for in
ternational trade. In an interview he
relates an experiment made by q
friend to demonstrate the evils of the
varying rates Of exchange. He took
a United States S. bill and without
purchasing one cents worth with II
changed it from one kind Of money
into another until in a short time prac-
tiCally nothing was left of the original
s.. 1t had all been d~issipated in ex.
change.
This is an extreme illustration OF
the evil referred to, but it is bad
enough in its best form. If the wits
of statesmen were turned TO remedy.
ing the trouble a great good might be
accomplished. There has been little
difficulty in arranging a system of in.
ternational postage and an information.
al coinage Of uniform weight and de-
sign is not without the bounds of prac-
ticality. The saving in exchange
would not be the only one effected.
An international coin would obviate
the folly of casting into the metal pot
foreign coins when they come into a
country to settle trade balances. That
Is done at present. and the only ben
eft derived is that which a
tive few obtain in the shape of Jobs
in the mints.

After leaving the old town of Ches-

FURTHER HEAVY DECLINE IN
PRICES ON THE NEW YORK
STOCK EXCHANGE.

URGENT SELLING AND ABSENCE
OF ANY BUYING DEMAND
CAUSE OF SLUMP.

New York, March 26.-Prices In
stocks broke wildly again soon after
the resumption of operations on the
Stock Exchange. The opening deal
1ngs showed a momentary stand
against the forces of depression,
which was helped by the more cheer
ful tone of London advices. The scat
tered gains here in response to this
were not up to the London parity,
however, and there were many ragged
declines. Almost Immediately prices
gave, way and quickly succeeding quo
tations showed some damaging breaks.
Amalgamated Copper, Reading, the
United States Steel stocks, the Harri-
man and Hill stocks and st. Paul were
special sufferers and the collapsing
tendency in these stocks communi-
Gated itself to the whole market.
The wide intervals of the decline
between sales marked the urgency OF
the selling and the prOstration Of the
demands. Great Northern Ore GER

The market quieted after the first
hour and showed resistance to new
decline. The dealings became very
dull at the higher levels.
The unchecked liquidation in the
metal industrial stocks brought a
fresh flood upon the market from all
quarters and the tone became almost
completely demoralized again. Amer

Extensive covering to take profits

final hour. When this buying ceased
prices slipped back again in some
cases to q lower level than before and
the whole market became very weak

Congressman Williamson Objects to
Prison Sentence.
Washington, March 26.-The ques-
tion whether member of congress
can be imprisoned upon being found
guilty Of criminal charge is involved
in the case of Representative John
Newton Williamson of Oregon, in
which motion to advance was made
in the supreme court of the United
States. In 1905 Williamson, with 9th
ers, was found guilty on the charge of
conspiracy to unlawfully secure Unit
ed States lands and was about to be
sentenced to pay fine of $500 and
serve ten months in prison when he
made protest that his imprisonment
would prevent him from attending
sessions of congress, from which depri-
vation he claimed protection under
:he Constitution and when the protest
was oyerruled he appealed to the su-
preme court.
The motion to advance was based
on the ground of the public impor-
tance of the case.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. Shs
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to SWeeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
q churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritive tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul It
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption OF
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the echurn-absolutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
Ii you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and respondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number of them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or law
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
