RUBeER.
How II is Reclaimed from scrap Heap
Material.

tNdN@Itdts
Could Charles Goodyear, the father
of the rubber industry, return to life
and visit modern rubber factory, II
is safe to say that his astonishment
would be expressed not so much at
the machinery used in tho manufac.
aure of rubber as at the materials
used in the makeup of tho rubber
goods Of our times Every one knows
that it is practically impossible TO
find a pure rubber article on th9 mar
ket In these days, and one often hears
the rubber manufacturer arTaigned as
n constituencies defrauder. But lot
the public, which stands in judgment
on the manufacturer, stop to consider
its own part in the case. One con-
Germ informs us that It pays $1.4O a
pound wholesale for crude Para rub
Der and 20 cents a pound for canvas,
yet It makes up and sells rubber hose
for 25 cents pound, Problem: Find
the profit There is no method OF
adulteratlng canvas, although to be
sure It forms a relatively small part
by weight Of the hose. If any profit IS
to be made 1t must come out OF the
rubber, and the public, which refuses
to pay more than one.hfth as much for
the finished product as the manufac-
turer does for the raw material,
should find no fault with the quality
of the goods II receives.
Were 1t not for the invention of a
process for reclaiming old rubber, the
lot Of the manufacturer would be a
hard one. Fortunatiy for him, he Is
not dependent upon the forests OF
Brazil or Central America for the
precious gum. Rubber has been i'm
ported into this country for nearly a
century, and since the material is
proof against all ordinary deteriorat-
ing Influences, 1t follows that the
country Is stocked with large supply
Of the material In scrap form, to be
sure, but rubber nevertheless, and ca
pable Of being reclaimed by a simple
process and remanufactured into new
goods.
Rubber in its raw, unyulcanized
state becomes soft and plastic when
Nedleu at IuOueIdNe temper aNui y
while cold renders It quite stubborn
and hard. The vulcanizing process
consists in adding to the gum a GER
tain proportion Of sulphur, which
when mechanically combined with the
rubber and then subjected to heat
gives Il a permanent character which
is unaffected by variations in temper
ature The material may be made
hard or soft, as desired, according to
the quantity Of sulphur which is added
to it. While the sulphur remains in
combination with the rubber, the lat
ter cannot be worked over and re.
moulded into new goods. The vulcan
izlng or reclaiming process, consists
then in extracting or nullifying the
sulphur and thus reducing the rubber
to its original workable state. There
are several retaining processes In
common use and they form most inn
portant part OF the rubber industry

How Wayne Reid Won AIs aride

1t was through his novel, THE Scalp
Hunters" that Captain Wayne Reid
won q bride. He was thirty years old
when he met a damsel Of thirteen, with
whom he at once fell In love. The
child took no notice Of him, but he
gave her the story to read. Two years
later the young lady was at a public
meeting where Captain Reid spoke ON
behalf Of the Polish refugees. "An
electric thrill seemed to pass through
me as he entered the ROOM" she said
afterward, and when the meeting was
over she went up to him II leave for
London on the next train" he said hur-
riedly. please send me your ad-
dress" II do not know where" she
replied, with some embarrassment He
instantly handed out his card and was
gone. A formal little note followed
Dear Captain Reid-As you asked me
to send you my address, do So" BY

say that you love me and / viii be

A PraetIcal joke.

He was a wag and was passing q
large diapers shop in Manchester
There, drawn up, were three or four
vehicles, and among them was a closed
brougham with the driver fast asleep
on the box. Evidently the mistress
was inside the shop. Without a word
the wag stole quickly up and, opening
the carriage door, carefully slammed ii
to. In an instant the coachman
Strengthened himself up and gazed up
the street as II he had never seen any.
thing more interesting to look at in his
life. Then he stole a look over his
shoulder and saw the wag standing,
hat in hand, apparently conversing
with some one inside the carriage.
THANK you, yes. Good morning, .
said the practical joker and bowed
himself graeiously away from the door
turning as he did SO to look at the
coachman and say, "HomeT
Eyes, sir! Tch! Get upr And away
went the brougham home.
Where that home was, who the mis-
tress Of the carriage was or what she
did or said when she came out of the
shop or what the coachman did or said
when he stopped at the door Of home
and found the carriage empty-all that
only the coachman and the lady know.

In 1908 King James published his
famous Book of Sports and, thinking
to render the Presbyterian form Of
worship less rigid, ordered that GER
tain OF the sports therein commended
should be played in the several church
yards every Sunday at the close OF
divine service. John Ross, minister
Of BlairgoWrie, adopted novel method
Of withstanding the royal ordinance.
He was a strong, athletic man and
seemed much interested in the recrea-
lions enjoined by the monarch Foot
ball was selected BY the parishioners
Of Blairgowrie from the list OF sun
day games" When the services OF the
church were completed Mr.. Ross APP
peared among his people In the church
ward and Joined them In their sport
None Of the assemblage kicked more
eagerly at the football than did the
reverend incumbent But constant
misfortune seemed TO attend him. Ey-
cry kick missed the ball and fell heaVt
ly on the ankles Of those who stood
near. Apologies were promptly ten
dered and. Of course, received. though
every Sunday many Of the parishlon
era returned home halting. Finally Il
was agreed that on account OF the
minister's awkwardness the games
ahould be abandoned. Thus the IN
qenious divine gained bis end and pre-
vented compliance with the obnoxious

In his declining years the poet Whit
tier was extremely absentminded. He
attended a church meeting where there
were a large number Of persons. AS
his presence was known, it was deemed
fitting by one Of the speakers to quote
the poets lines:
I know not where his islands lift
Their fronded palms In air;
only know cannot drift
Beyond his love and care.
Great applause greeted the quotation,
and Whittier was noticed to join In
the handclapping. II suppose l must
