A New Rubber Discovery In Mexico.

q New Rubber Discovery In Mexico.
 From the Mexican Herald there is reproduced the following which is a press telegram that was sent out from Ann Arbor, Michigan on the 30th ult.:
 After a search of eighteen months Professor John R. Allen, of the University of Michigan, and two assistants have located in the in- terior of Mexico forest of rubber trees, the product of which is of re- markable quality. The first in- timation of the forests existence came when a traveller reported that native Indian children gath cred a gum which, when squeezed into spherical shape, had the ap- pearance and much of the resil- fence of rubber ball. After locat- ing the trees and roughly defining the boundaries of the mysterious forests, the party obtained conces- sions from the Mexican govern ment for 800,000 acres of land tim bered with the trees and promise of still more land, and today they have a gum which London experts have pronounced to be the nearest approach to the celebrated Para rubber that has so far been put on the market. London dealers are said to have offered to buy all the gum these prospectors can put on the market for seventy five cents a pound to deliver in New York city When the Hartman lines are com pleted into Mexico they will run within sixty miles of this tract ol land and the cost of transporting the product to New York will be considerable less.
 The gum comes from tree that had never been classified botanical ly nor exploited commercially, The tree belongs to the nettle family, having the appearance oI the horse chestnut tree. The leaves and fruit cannot be handled with the bare hands, as the nettles burn the skin like hot iron.
 The tree may be tapped five days in succession and then must be al' lowed to rest for three months When tapped the tree oozes milky substance which congulates when exposed to the air. All that Il needed to prepare this gum ready for market IS to wash it.
 Samples of the new rubber were milled and the finished rubber vul canized. The product shows excel lent strength, although its resi- fence Is not as great as that of Para rubber, due to an excess of resin ] It has been found, however. tha the product can be put through dressing process at the cost ot thre' cents a DOund

HOW BIRTH WAS ESTABLISHED
Calls Birthday Was Recorded, Thus
the Age of the Human Being
Became Known.

DIR. Cressy L. Wilbur, chief statisti-
clan of the bureau of census in Wash
ington, tells story taken from court
records which, according to the Wo-
mans Home Companion, fairly typifies
the national attitude toward vital sta
tisticS
Farmer Hadley," he said, "of In
diana on dying left his valuable farm
in trust to his unthrifty son, to be-
come the property of his granddaugh-
ter on her twenty-first birthday.
"The girl had been told the date Of
her birth and when her twenty-frst
anniversary, as she supposed, came
around, she claimed her inheritance.
But her father refused to surrender
the farm, asserting that she was only
nineteen.
"The dispute was taken into court.
The family Bible was appealed to, but
the page for births and deaths was
blank. The father had rendered no re-
port to the town authorities; the fam
lily doctor was dead. Finally a neigh
Dor remembered that a certain COW,
much priced by the grandfather, had
given birth to a calf on the very day
when the girl was born and he could
swear to it.
Perhaps, the court opined, the
grandfather had recorded the birth of
the calf! The old farm book, careful
ly preserved in the family strong box,
sustained the judges theory; all the
circumstances of the Calls birth were
fully recorded And thus the birthday
of the human being was at length es-
tablished.
"TaIk about the registration Of
births in the United States!" exclaims
DR.. Wilbur, "why, for not much more
than one-half of the total population is
there fairly accurate registration of
deaths, to say nothing of births, Of
which we have nowhere in the country
reliable or complete information, and
many of the states are so little con-
cerned about human life that they
make no more account Of the deaths
of their citizens than of the trees they
burn to make clearings."

Wild Elephants in Siam.

No estimate can be made of the
number of wild elephants in the
jungles' of Siam. In one of the ele-
plant drives" in the Aypthia district
recently more than two hundred were
seen at one time. These drives are
held yearly in the various districts of
Siam, during which great numbers or
the animals are driven into a stock
ade. The finest specimens are then
captured and later tanned and trained
for domestic use The district of Ayp-
thia is famous for its drives, and the
king usually attends when large
events are arranged for. Permission
to capture wild elephants may be OBJ
tanned from the Siamese government,
and for each animal caught royalty
of $3.50 is paid; but such capture is
exceedingly difficult and expensive.
and the animal often dies before 1t is
properly trained.
