CHEWING GUM FAMINE
THREATENS THE WORLD
Greed of ChicIe Growers Killing
Off Young Trees

The recent report from Mexico that
there is danger of a chewing gum
famine in a few years has caused the
turning of startled and inquiring eyes
toward that part of the country from
which the chewing gum as we'll as
the butternuts come, says the New
York World
Practically all the chicle gum, which
is the basis for chewing gum. comes
from Mexico, Central America and Y u
catan. The greed of the chicle grow
ers is the cause of the threatened short
age, because they have been tapping
the trees too often and as a result the
trees are dying. Unless new chicle
forests are discovered or a system or
reforestation is put into effect, several
of the states will have no gum to ex-
port in a few years.
Chicle is the gum which exudes when
an incision is made in the bark OF the
chico sapote tree. The crude gum is
shipped to Canada and refined in To-
ronto before being imported to the
American factories. This is done be-
cause there is a high ad valorem duty
on chicle. 1t is worth about 40 cents
a pound and loses 25 per cent in re-
fning, so great saving is made by re-
fining before shipment.
An explorer who recently returned
from South America reports that 1t is
curious to note the decentralization that
chicle hunting has worked among the
population of some of the villages. NO
one" he says. will plant maize field,
and even the poorest ragamufin
proudly refuses to do any work, say
ing, I am a chiclero and have no need
to work for any one.
The result is that a famine occurs
in some parts of the country every
season. All the chicleros are poverty
stricken, and being deeply in debt they
no longer have huts or maize fields or
families, for this unsettled life in the
forests, interrupted occasionally by
sprees in this or that village puts even
the most unpretentious form of family
life ont of the question

MONK SAID TO HAVE
VISITED POLE IN 1905
Description More l>recise Than
Those of Cook and Pecry

James Knox de Bolduc, monk, is
according to Paris contemporary, the
discoverer of the north pole, says the
London Globe His voyage was not
made during the last year like that Of
Doctor Cook and Commander Peary.
He made his voyage in 1865. We are
not told to what order he belonged,
but Judging from his descriptions, and
he is much more precise in his account
than his American successors, it is a
place famous for rushing and violent
winds. if we are to believe the Com
pendium of the Learned of Gottileb
Jochers, published at~Leipsic in 1850.
Probably the work referred to by our
contemporary is the Teutsche Acta
Eruditorum (1712), which has been de-
scribed as an excellent periodical,
edited by ]. G. Rabener and c. G.
Jocher, and continued from 1740 to
1883, as Zuverlassige Nachrichten. 1t
contained portraits.
This is what the monk tells us: At
the pole one finds the place where all
the waves of the sea concentrate to
Four great islands surround this
''precipice," separated by four great
canals, succeeding which are the di-
vided seas. An enormous rock. quite
black, and % miles in circumference.
marks the pole itself. The unfortu-
nate ships which venture into these
latitudes are Immediately lost, If they
are not assisted by favorable winds.
IT will be observed that neither Cook
nor Peary mentions this enormous
black rock.
A German, Baron Tehernhausen, was
the first sun cook. He began in 1887
to boil water, and in 1888 he had very
good success in boiling eggs.

ARTIFICIAL INCUBATION
OF DUCK EGGS IN CHINA
Ready Market for Product
Causes Industry to Thrive

The artificial incubation of ducks
eggs is thriving industry in some
parts of China. more particularly in
Canton. where, says Feathered Life, a
large and ready market encourages the
business. The first thing to be done is
to secure suitable eggs, and this is
done by men who devote themselves
entirely to the task during the summer
months. The examiner squats on the
ground and, holding the egg up to the
light, turns it round and judges it's
suitability by the state of the shell and
the clearness of its contents.
The least appearance of cloudiness
entails its rejection. so particular is the
examiner; but, nevertheless. only from
per cent to 10 per cent of the eggs
are rejected; none over seven days old
are accepted
The skiliful examiner can deal with
5000 eggs in a day The selected eggs
are placed in shallow, saucer shaped
baskets, with lid similarly shaped,
and each basket is set upon a wicker
work cylinder over stove in a dark
ened room heated by charcoal braziers.

AUTOISTS ATTEMPT
TO PAWN THEIR CARS
Partisan Loan Office Refuses
Security Offered

The assistants at the Mont de Piete
in Paris have at times novel requests
made to them. The latest is the strang-
est from impecunious chauffeurs who
desired a loan on their automobiles.
The requests have been refused. and
the would be borrowers have brought
their trouble before the municipal
council.
The Mont de Piete is steeled against
the demands of the motorists on ac-
count of the institutions experiences
with bicycles. In the winter months
cyclists take their machines to Ma
tante,' obtain a loan, and get them
stored until the fine weather again
comes round. This system of housing
has become so popular that a store of
six stories had to be constructed, and
it now contains 900 machines
The officials say if they were to be-
gin taking in motors they would want
place as big as the Champ de Mars to
lodge them.

The life and character Of Albert Pike
were extolled last night by prominent
| speakers at q centennial celebration or
his birth by the Scottish Rite Masons in
the House of the Temple. 433 Third street
northwest.
The exercises were marked by the
GROWING of bust of the poet. philoso-
pher, jurist. author. explorer, linguist.
soldier, and Mason. who for thirty-twO
years was sovereign commander OF the
Southern District of Scottish Rite
Masonry.
Admiral Winfield Scott Schley spoke Of
Albert Pike, the soldier and explorer,
tracing his life from boyhOod until death,
which. he declared, was a superb ex-
ample
NO one did more 20 push our empire
westward than did Gen. Albert Pike %
said Admiral Schley. Both in the Next
can and civil wars he proved soldier of
the highest type. Seldom did any mar
gain the love and admiration Of the Ind
ians as did this great man, and from
them he learned to speak their language,
which proved TO be Of much service to
him"
EuIOgized as Mason.
ALBERT Pike, the Mason" was the sub
ject OF an Grafton by Judge George F.
Moore. editor OF the New Age. Judge
Moore spoke OF Albert Pike as the poet,
soldier, and philosopher. but declared he
was first and last a Mason. ard had
devoted more time to this brotherhood
than to anything else.
His MOTTO" said the speaker, was 10
endeavor each day TO make some one
wiser and better. and this motto he full
filled 10 the letter.
AlphOnse c. Stewart, who entertained
the assembly with a eulogy on Albert
Pike. the philosopher, said ne was the
peer OF any Greek scholar that adorns
histOry's pages. and had he not dressed in
the conventional style Of the day in which
he lived, he might well have been taken
for i PHILOSOPHER OF ancient days.
Probably the highest tribute paid was
that by Henry r. Evans, who compared
Pike with Homer. Shakespeare. and Mil
ton. Ir. Evans read selection from
prose production written by the poet, de-
claring it was one OF the best he had ever
read He also read en- "Ode to Mock
ing Bird which he thought resembIed
Shelleys lode to a Skylsrk" He added:
There are few persons who write jing-
ling verses who have the least concep-
ton Of what poetry Is, but Albert Pike
was no jingle writer"
Henry X. Simpson read a paper on Al
bert Pike. the man" He said the same
eulogy might be delivered over Albert
Pike as the Romans pronounced over
Brutus. This was the noblest Roman Of
them all"
When Rev. DR.. Abram Simon began TO
speak Of the Prophet Of Masonry the
keynote was struck. for he revealed to his
listeners the divinity in the nature OF the
great man, and pictured with words a
soul in which he declared there was no
guile.
At the conclusion OF the speechmaking
the bust was crowned by Sterling Kerr.
who said:
Il crown this bust Of Albert Pike with
this wreath Of Iaurels and olive, emblems
OF triumph and victory, sacred 10 Apollo,
God Of Light"
As Mr. Kerr marched forward TO place
the wreath, James Lansburgh, Andrew W.
Kelly, John A. Lacy, and James II. Trim
bic formed with their swords q cross Of
steel over the bust
The ceremony was closed with a bene-
diction by Rev, Joseph Dawson.
