Trees Which Require No Cultivation
and Yield When Five Years Old.
In describing the cultivation Of a
hardy variety of rubber tree N Cuba.

the small trees about SIX metres apart
In this way, at the ase Of Is or 20
years the trees having reached a
height of say thirty feet. do not inter-
fere with minor civilizations.
While the trees are reaching matur-
ity, the grower can raise beans, kid
ney beans, nuts or cassayas, malanga.
cotton and maize. The pineapple will
make profitable interpolated crop.
The caoutchouc requires no culti-
walton, the grass and the vegetation
assisting the young plant, and when
older the shade eliminates all useless
grasses and herbs. The tree can be
tapped at the fifth year, but more sat
isfactory results will be attained by
waiting until the sixth year, and then,
instead of abstracting two or three
pounds of juice, it is prudent to take
no more than one to one and a half
pounds, according to the development
of the tree an average of one and a
half pounds would be very reasonable
II methodically handled, the rubber
tree is extremely long lived, and from
eighth to tenth years the tree will
produce about six pounds annually,
and still remain in condition to give
service many years to come.

The Worlds Most Powerful Liqh..


The light of the 100000 candles
will be attached to the tower OF the
new Lackawanna station at Hoboken.
N. j., and will rate as no less than a
million and a half candle power.
The most striking feature of the ex-
terror lighting, and one which will
make this tower the most conspicuous
object at night on the entire North
river water front, will be a cluster
Of forty-nine flaming arc lamps, which
will be arranged in series within sim
gle globe six feet in diameter, each
arc consuming sixteen amperes at
$500 volts. II is estimated that can
die power of 100000 will eb reached.
This will unquestionably be the most
powerful light ever produced from a
single fixture. The globe will be suC.
pended from the upper part Of the
tower Besides being the most i'm
pressiye spectacle this experiment
will prove Of no little commercial val
ne in demonstrating the possibility Of

lance above the illuminated surface
