SOYA BEAN As \ SUBSTI-
TUTE FOR RUBBER

According to Frankfort publica-
ton a German patent has been secur-
ed for the manufacture from the soya
bean of product to take the place of
rubber. The process consists in the
reduction of the oil of the soya bean
to a thick, tough liquid through the
addition of nitric acid. After further
treatment with alkaloid solutions the
mixture is heated to l50 degrees. Civ
ing Il tough highly elastic product
similar to rubber, which can be vul-
canized by the same process as rub
Der.
Numerous attempts have been made
in the past to manufacture artificial
rubber and processes, which in the
laboratory gave excellent results. but
have been found impracticable on ar
count of high cost. Whether this
latest method will be successful re-
mains to be proven. However, the
fact that the soya bean is being ex-
perimented with is illustrative of the
fact that II is beginning to be known
in Germany. where it is now import
ed free of duty.
The bean is cultivated in the hint
erland of Kiaochaw, the German
leased territory in China, as well as
in Manchuria. Its increased com.
mercial importance would help de.
velop the Province and bring new life
to Tsingtau as a port.

EDISON IS SIXTY
-FOUR YEARS OLD
ELECTRICAL WIZARD
CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY
Has Probably Done More to Revolu-
dOnizc World han Any Other Liv-
ing Man.

New York. Feb i,-Thomas Aiva
Edison, who has done more to revo-
lutionize this old world than any 9TH
er living man. is today celebrating his
sixty-fourth birthday. 1t is highly
probable that the electrical wizard
will observe the day by giving out
another interview of the series which
are now appearing in various popu-
lar periodicals and newspapers. I'm
I'll recently. Mr. Edison has always
been too busy to submit to extended
interviews, although there has never
been a time that he did not receive
reporters with the greatest cordiality.
1t may be stated that Mr.. Edison
does not profit financially from the
interviews on various topics which
he has recently given out. In this
respect he differs from many men
of less prominence. Following Mr..
Edison's statement denying the doc
trine of immortality. reporters called
on various distinguished clergymen
to secure an expression of their
views on the matter. Although the
basic principle OF their faith had been
assailed since Christianity without
personal immortality would cease 20
be Christianty-some of these minis
ters refused TO defend their faith
unless paid a good round sum. The
money was paid, and a waiting world
was informed that Mr.. Edison, never
having studied the dead languages.
metaphysics or theology, couldn't
possibly know anything about i'm
mortality.
Aside from his guess as to the
hereafter. MIR. Edson's most import
ant statement, as reported by Mr..
Allan L. Benson in the Cosmopolitan,
is to the effect that it is now only
n matter of time-possibly very
short tlme--when a method Of man
ufacturing gold will be discovered.
When that day comes, declares the
wizard, the financial systems of the
whole world will be upset and gold
"may be left out at night as saieiy
as iron is now left out at night"
Mr. Edison also predicts that with
in the coming century poverty will
be abolished, owing to the impending
discovery of cheaper and better
methods Of manufacture which Will
enable the world to be clothed and
fed at a far less labor cost than at
present. Morever he declares that
dynasties and thrones will soon trem-
bic and fall, and that a great econom-
ic and Industrial change is due In
this country within ten years. All
OF these tremendous changes, he be-
lieves, will be effected by working
men.
All of which sounds very visionary
not to say socialistic and utopian-
but the prophet is a man who has
had habit of seeing to 1t that his
predictions were fulfilled. AT sixty
four, Mr. Edison is still a young man
and he may live to see the day-ol
so he thinks-when the workingmer
will refuse longer to support armies
and navies for their own destruc'
ton. and governments will be forced
to make the Hague tribunal the real
ization of another Edisonian dream
