is to serve the three superior classes,

condition is never to be improved. they
are not to accumulate property and
are unable by any means to approach
the dignity Of the higher classes. These
divisions are hereditary, impossible

Many visitor to Williams college IL

For once in the history of the world q
prayer meeting is commemorated by q
monument. In Mission park in Will

one sultry summer day in the year
1906 TO hold prayer meeting, as was
their custom. They were oyertaken by
a sudden shower Of rain and were com

forded them by neighborng hay

The group Of young evangelists who
were present at the prayer meeting on
that particular occasion consisted of
Samuel J. Mills, James Richards, Fran
els L. Robbins, Harvey Loomis and
Byram Green.
Sheltered from the rain by the hay
stack, they continued amid the conflict
Of the elements their devotional exer-
cises and discussed religious topics Of
deep interest to themselves. While the
storm ragged Mills communicated to his
fellows the plan of executing a great
life work. 1t was nothing less than a
mission to some heather land and the
ultimate evangelization Of the world.
They communicated their plan to
such Of their fellow students as they
believed would sympathize with them
and organized the Society Of Brethren.
a secret society, which had for its OBJ
ject the establishment of foreign mis-
sions.
The result Of the prayer meeting was
the organization in Bradford, Mass. in
1910 Of the American board of COM
m!ssioners for foreign missions. From
this start grew the great society of the
American board, which has distributed
millions of dollars. Since the first
meeting Of FIVE persons its corporate
and honorary members have increased
to over 10000.
Years after the students had formed
their great scheme Of evangelization
the spot where they held the prayer
meeting was marked by cedar stake.
This led to the purchase Of Mission
park by the alumni Of Williams col
lege and in 1867 to the erection and
dedication Of what is now known as
Haystack monument. The cedar stake
monument became marble through

III has come to light recently that
r. Thomas f. Ryan of New York
city. the well known capitalist and
promoter, has signed a convention
with the Kongo State which secures
him the right to conduct certain op-
erations in that remote African region.
Mr.. Ryan has been engaged for a num-
her o. years in developing large rubber
forests in Mexico, and he is DESTROYS

obs. for which his company holds the
patents. 1t is also known that Mr..

of the Belgians- With these in his

sition 10 control the supply of that
commodity.
The enormous possibilities of the
rubber business have long been rec
oSnl6ed by Americans So astute an
observer as Andrew Carnegie is quoted
as having advised a young man who
asked him for his opinion as to the fu-
ture of the steel industry as follows:
Inc pest opening for a young man to-
day is in rubber. Rubber will in a
few years make a greater fortune than
steel or, IN fact any other branch of
manufacture. The great value and
manifold uses Of rubber are lust be-
ginning TO be appreciated properly, and
e profits in its production are greater
than in anything else about which I am
Informed.
American ingenuity has evolved sew
sral new methods of getting rubber
ready for the market. The milk is
drawn from the bark by suction, so
that the pure sap is obtained free from
the foreign substances which were al
ways present in large quantities in the
rubber furnished by natives. After the
rubber milk is collected the pure rub
Der is separated from the other in
gradients of the sap by patent process
much like that used in the separation
Of cream from milk. In this new meth
Cd, which is the invention of an Ameri-
can, there is no waste of sap. Under
the native process at least half of it
was wasted
When exposed TO the air the sap
coagulates rapidly. and il is then tied

pense or labor except the tapping. A
hundred acre plantation would thus
produce $4,000 a year income. This is
exhilarating. but the picture may be
made still more roseate. Rubber trees
grow rapidly, and as they increase in
size the quantity of the milk they will
produce grows in an equal ratio. A
tree fifteen years of age will produce
five pounds a year, so that each acre
will yield 1000 pounds. worth $500.
This would make the product Of hum
dred acres worth $4,000.
The rubber of commerce comes from
South America, from the Central
American states, from western Africa
and from India and the Islands in the
Indian ocean. For many years, how
ever, the best rubber has been shipped
from the Amazon region of Venezuela
and Brazil Until quite recently IS
per cent of all the rubber produced in
the world was shipped via. Para and
Manaos- 1t has not been an infrequenr
thing for vessels to sail from these
ports loaded with cargoes OF rubber
valued at 81. COG, 900 or more
In both Para and Manaos the most
important feature of industrial life is
the shipping of rubber. the product OF
the great American enterprise that has
been operating for several years as the
Para Rubber Plantation company. All
the exporting portions Of these cities
are occupied by packing houses in
which the rubber Is prepared for ex-
port. To these vast depots the crude
product is brought in Jumps that look
like large hams. Each lump is weighed I
and then packed, each boxJ
containing 900 pounds.
There,are at least dozen varieties of
rubber bearing trees In the Amazon
district. The bulk OF the product. how
ever. comes from two of them. Heyes
and Hevea brazilliensis- The
former grows TO a height of fifty feet
