got on the whipping machine. The
boy admitted this in part.
A Severe Thrashing
One Of them testified that he was
beaten by two family managers on
the whipping machine in the paint
house" until he was too weak to put
his clothes on after 1t was over. He
said he was punished because he
either could not or would not impli-
cate other inmates in an attempted
escape.
Whippings For Minor Offenses
The other said he was turned over
on his bed in the dor5nitory and beat
en- with a strap for something he had
never done. He told of seeing an
other boy beaten from head to foot
because he was chewing on the stump
of cigar. A coloired boy, he tes-
titled, got the strap for Shooting

fed, was strapped because teach

he was talking when he loaned q
lead pencil to the boy across the aisle.

DESERVING FARMS

Washington, July S.-The people of
the United States are steadily desert
ing the country and the farm for the
turmoil and delights Of the city and
town, according to statistics made
public by the census bureau. During
the past ten years the percentage Of
people living in cities or other in
corporated places Of more than $500
inhabitants increased from 4O.5 to
1853 of the total. Twenty years ago
only 36.1 per cent Of the total popu-
lation lived in such incorporated
places.
In classifying the 1910 census re-
turns the bureau calls that portion of
the population in incorporated cities
or towns Of $500 or more inhabitants
urban and the remainder rural. On
this basis, in 1910, 42,623,3S3, or 46.3
per cent Of the total lived in urban
territory and 49,34S,Ss3, or 53.7 per
cent In rural territory.

GATHERING RUBBER.


The Sap 70 coasulatsd by the Action
Of Punssnt smoIes.
The industry Of collecting and pre-
pairing rubber Is carried on extensively
In the valley Of the Amazon. There are
districts Of many square miles owned
and operated by one person. The rub
Der trees are scattered more or less
plentifully among other trees that
yield no profit as yet
When one has secured q large tract
Of forest land for the industry he puts
up a rough shelter upon It and en-
cages Indian natives Of the neighb0r-
hood to aid him In the work. Early In
the morning they start out to make
the rounds Of the estate, for they must
get back to the riverside before the
heat Of the day becomes too great.
They tap the trees. attach little tin
cups to catch the sap and take home
! whatever sap may be collected.
The sap Of the rubber tree is q white
liquid Of the consistency Of goats milk.
It Is necessary that It be converted
into q solid. This II effected by the
action Of q pungent smoke that coagu-
lates or curdles the milky fluid. For
this use the seeds Of two different
kinds Of palm are employed. The seeds
are put In an earthen Jar which has .
narrow neck, the bottom Of which n
perforated with a number Of square
holes. In this the palm nuts are
burned. The holes in the bottom Of the
jar admit q draft and cause Q dense
smoke to issue from the neck.
The operator takes a paddle similar
to that with which he paddles his ca
noe and holds the blade Of II over the
jar. Upon 1t he pours the milky Juice.

riously enough. little use for the ar
ticle. They do. however. devise play
things for their children by pouring
the sap into clay molds Of birds. fishes,
ETC., and then crushing the clay and
removing it.-New York Press.
