BIG RUBBER PROFIT.
1t Makes London Rush Madly for Rub
Der Shares.

Despite the momentary slump, the
London boom in rubber continues. Shares
which Mt the opening of the year were
worth 80 cents and would not sell at that
are now selling at $3.50 Others that
were valued ut S4.Io are now rushed
for at $50.
One new company just formed re-
ceived no fewer than 202o, 749 applica-
tions for its So shares. Some shares are
now standing at premiums of 2200 per
cent. over what they We're worth few
years ago, and they are still going up in
price.
The price of rubber in the London
market is 81 pound. 1t is thought
likely to 90 to $50. The demand for
motor cars and taXicabs requires an in
crease of 10000 tons in the output of
this year, and it is doubtful if the PLAN
tations will be quite equal to 1t. 1t is
this which is putting up the price of rub
Der and causing the frantic boom on
change.
At its present figure in the market a
rubber plantation is better than Il gold
mine. or even a diamond mine. The cost
of producing rubber and bringing it to
the market does not exceed - cents a
pound Consequently, it is being sold ut
more than 5000 a ton profit.
The infames of the Congo, which de-
stroyed the rubber forests. limited the
worlds natural supply. That has given
the new plantations their chance. and it
viii be some years before the planta-
tons overtake the demand.
These are the facts that are breeding
the madness on the rubber stock market
and making many silly persons there pre-
pare a heavy burden of distress for
themselves when the establishment
comes, and the downward career of their
inflated shares becomes abysmal, as SO
come it surely will.

FRENCH MOBILES.
Many Would Find Difficulty in PIoduc-
ing Their Patents.

About $1,000 so-called noble families
in France would be seriously embap-
raised were they asked to produce their
patent of nobility. writes Baron de ROure
de paulin III the Paris Revue. The num-
ber of bearers of spurious French titles
according to the baron. is enormous.
After exhaustive genealogical investiga-
tions he comes TO the conclusion that
while there are today 10000 noble fam
lilies in France there existed before the
revolution only 10000 noble houses, and
since then no more than $4,000 new
names have been legitimatey added.
1t is astonishing how many illustrious
French names have disappeared during
the Nineteenth century The oldest
French nobility traces back to the cru
Saders. of whom 5000 bore French names
and escutcheons. Today hardly 400
French families can boast with more
or less justification of crusader an
cestOr
One single French family, the ancient
house of Saunhac, traces genuine direct
descent from William of that name, who
was grandmother of the order of the
Templars and was killed in the battle
of Mansurah in 1919. OF the half dozen
premier dukes and peers of France who
took precedence over all others no de-
scendants now exist. At the time of the
| French revolution there existed thirty
nine dukes who ranked as peers OF
France and forty-one others, but of all
| these only twenty-three are left,
Other noble families whose heads
were direct grand vassals of the French
! kings have all but died out. A notable
exception is the house of De la Tour
id'Auvergne, always prolific in producing
great men, among others the famous
| Marshal Turenne.
! There are still descendants living of
| the illustrious house IF Lusignan and
also legitimate bearers of the names of
Guise and Richelieu, but the Colignys.
| the Montmorencys, and the Mazarms
among others have all died out.
The writer also has traced the down

men Nothing is left now of the fam
