GATHERING RUBBER.
The Sap Is coasulated by the Action
Of Punsent Smoke.


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 large tract
of forest land for the industry he puts
up a rough shelter upon It and en-
cages Indian natives Of the neighbor-
hood to aid him I'm 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 white
liquid of the consistency Of goats milk.
1t Is necessary that It be converted
into solid. This Is effected by the
action of 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 a
narrow neck. the bottom of which is
perforated with number of square
holes. In this the palm nuts are
burned. The holes in the bottom of the
jar admit n draft and cause n 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 IL over the
jar. Upon it he pours the milky juice,
cup by cup. all the time turning the
blade so as to bring all parts of it into
the smoke. The fluid Is instantly fixed
and adheres TO the wood or TO the rub
Der already formed. This process is
continued until solid lump is formed
that will perhaps weigh sixteen
pounds. When the lump has grown
large enough for handling a slit is cut
In il and the blade Is drawn out a
mass of rubber Is left ready for ex-
portation. 1t Is the smoke used in
coagulating the sap that gives crude
rubber the dark appearance familiar to
every one.
Natives who. collect rubber have. GU
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.
