THE ROMANCE OF RUBBER

Next to copper and iron, rubber is
the most important material in the
electrical industry. It is used extern
sively as an Insulating material, be-
ing one of the best insulators Of cleo
tricity in the wo ID Nearly all the
wires that carry electrical current are
protected with rubber insulation
Rubber prevents the electricity escap.
ing through contact of the wire with
other conductors, it prevents acct
dents, fires, and keeps the electrical
apparatus from burning out and de-
stroying itself Besides being used
for insulating wires and cables at
the plants of tho General Electric
Company rubber is used in the manu-
facture of motors switches, genera
tors, and nearly all electrical ma
chimes.
The story of rubber IS the story OF
the conquest OF the tropical jungles:
the fights agans. disease, poisonous
reptiles and insects, man eating ami.
mails, hunger AMI thirst and the dan.
ger of being lost forever
Civilization first heard of rubber
in Herrera's account of the second
voyage of Columbus in the year 1893,
where he speaks of elastic balls made
BY the natives from the gum Of a
tree.
The first authentic account of it's
practical use was recorded in 1745 by
the leader of n French governmental
expedition returning from South
America who reported that the ma.
tiyes secured from the juice of tree
a certain gum which was very elas-
tic, impervious to water and used in
making bottles, SHOES and squirt
guns.
Thirty years later it was introduce
ed to commerce when an English
man brought from Assam, India. a
soft spongy substance which would
erase lead jencil marks and which
afterward became known as India
rubber.
Many primitive uses were found for
this wonderful gum, but owing to its
susceptibility 10 changes Of tempera-
ture, which rendered it sticky and
more or less fluid rubber did not
come to its own until early in the
last century. AT that time it was dis
covered, after great dea. Of expert
ment, that by mixing sulphur with
crude rubber aud subjecting it to a
high degree of heat, these former
deficiencies were eliminated and a
material was produced which was
both tough aud elastic and would
retain those properties under varying
temperatures TINS process of curing
was called vulcarization and is the
basis OF rubber making today
So great has been the development
Of rubber manufacture since that
time that its products now exceed a
value Of five hundred million dollars
annually.
Contrary TO the popular impression
rubber gum is not derived from the
sap. II is secured from milky

THE PROBLEM ONE OF FACT

THE PROBLEM ONE OF FACT
SO far in the local option move
ment against the saloons, six coun-
ties have become dry under the town
ship and municipal laws and fifty
seven under the county law OF the
remaining twenty-five, eleven have
voted to retain the saloons and four
teen have not voted. But enough
have voted to put the Rose bill on
trial and to demonstrate whether 1t
promotes sobriety. temperance, order
and the general welfare of the peo-
pie If it does, then it will likely
stand. The matter rests with public
opinion and the turning point is to
be on the general fair enforcement
of the law Nobody should expect
the trial to be made without some
friction and no 2ne should demand a
perfect regeneration of human So
ciety i'm a few weeks or months. But
any measure which brings about bet
ter conditions-which turns the mon
ey of the people away from bar
rooms and thereby promotes sobriety
which causes the currency of the
working-man to be expended for
bread and meat and groceries and
furniture and dry goods and warm
clothes and newspapers aud books
which carries a Der cent of his wages
into savings banks and ultimately in
to building lots and homes-which
gets the liquor, converted into de.
structiye poison when excessive,
out of the body of the man and
causes his skin to clear up and his
eyes to brighten and his hand to be-
come steady and his nerves to be
strengthened and his mind to become
normal and thus to make saner
and more rational being and more
effective and highly paid producer
out of him and also to cause him to
get greater enjoyment out of life
which likewise brightens up his home
and causes the health and JOY of life
to glow on the cheeks of his wife
and children-which insures the en-
gineer at his throttle the machinist
before his complicated enginery, the
architect at his desk. the farmer with
his hand on the plow, the physician
as he combats the ravages OF disease
and the judge who upholds the law
and the munimeUts of social order,
to be at his best and thus to be able
to protect human lire and property
entrusted to his care-that measure
is entitled to the support of all moral
men. That is the question in issue.
Does the Rose law tend to produce
social order? Does it promote So
briefly? That is a matter of fact and
observation. If there is less intenp
perance and less deprivation under
the dry regime than there was under
the open traffic in liquors then II il
a good thing.
AS for the argument that people
need saloon-keepers to pay their
taxes that is so odiotic as to need
no discussion. The saloon-k keeper
who gathers up $4,000 a year of the
peoples money, pays into the public
treasury $1,000 and keeps $4,000 for
his own use and sport is not paying
anybody's taxes He is merely pay
ing a small amount of taxes with the
money which he secures from the
people If these people would them
selves pay the $1,000 and keep the
other $4,000 for those things they
really need they would be just $4,000
ahead of the game Isn't that clear
enough?

Fruit buds growing on the leaves
of peach trees is the remarkable
phenomenon observed in several or
chards in the Yakima valley west
of Spokane, where the original buds
on a number of early-bearing trees
were killed this spring by an unus-
ual frost. AS a result, some OF the
orchards will have light crops, but
as good prices are expected there will
be no severe loss. Trees in the com
pound at Fort Simroe and in other
parts of the valley escaped the chill
winds and are now in full bloom,
while Late peach trees are also doing
well. Cherry trees are in blossom
and large crop is expected. Pro-
fessor w. S. Thornber, horticultural
expert at the government experiment
station, Pullman, Wash, says he has
record of instances where peach Il ices
robbed of their buds by cold weather,
have developed leaf buds into fruit
blossoms, but this is the first time he
has heard of 1t in Washington.
