The rubber gatherer makes the
round OF his trees daily, in the fore
noon, bringing back a supply Of latey
to his hut. The production of rubber
from this occupies hjM during the bal
ance of the day. The process of CO
equation is simple and the yield lie
about 80 per cent. of the latex The
latter Is poured as evenly as possible
over the fiattened end of paddle
about three feet long. This is slowly
turned in the smoke of wood fire in
which oil nuts are burned When the
first layer of latex has suffi GENTLY stiff
fened, another is added, and so on
until the paddle holds enough to make
a certain sized ball or biscuit" This
biscuit or flattened form Of unit. Is
now generally preferred because it is
more easily handled and more readily
lends Itself to the detection of impuri
ties. These are present to a greater
or less degree in all wild rubber For
merly the gatherers who were paid by
weight Of turnout deliberately doc
tored the rubber balls by mixing sand
with the material, and sometimes by
placing stones in 1t. These practices
have. however. been practically elimi
mated from the business in recent
years.
Inhabitants Senni-Savage.
The rubber collected from the gath
erers Is assembled at the various sta,
tons in the forest and thence shipped
to Para. At the port it passes into
the hands of the buyers, who subject
it to close examination to determine
quality. Before being offered to the
manufacturer as commercial rubber
the material Is cut up and subjected
to mechanical processes with view
to extracting all foreign substances
and of reducing the moisture to a min
imum.
Manaos is situated on the bank OF
the Amazon, about 1000 miles from
the rivers mouth 1t is distinctly 9

A pleasing popularity of the city Is its
intersection in several parts by small
streams which the natives call "iga.
rapes," or canoe paths, and which the
Indian inhabitants commonly turn &c
the same account as the Venetians dc
their canals.
Manaos Is surrounded on all sides
but the river front by primeval forest,
inhabited by semi-savage Indians The
city Is the receiving and shipping
point for large quantities of rubber
and although it exports other products
its prosperity Is due to and dependent
upon the rubber trade. About 2,00C
river steamers and small vessels call
at the port every day, in addition to
about 200 ocean-going ships. Ter
years ago the city could offer nothing
| better than river anchorage to ship
ping. 1t now has ample warehouses, q
stone quay and floating wharves and
bridges. These last are necessitated
by the great fluctuations in the river
level. the extreme range of which is
33 feet.

Effect Of Cold on Cats Fur.

A remarkable transformation OF a

shut in the refrigerating chamber OF a

The cat was scarcely recognizable,
the fur having become long and thick,
changing to white on the back Brought
