SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER.

The story from Philadelphia that a
man OF that city has discovered a sub
stitute for rubber which he manufac-
lures from various kinds Of waste will
be accepted with a grain of salt until
the facts be claims are fully estab-
lished. 1t has long been the dream of
chemists that a substance which would
take the place Of rubber In many Of
the forms In which II is used would
ultimately be discovered, but, like the
famous passage to Cathay In the time
of Columbus, the result has eluded
pursuit 1t may be put down as a fact
that some time, somewhere, such a
substitute will be found, says the
Washington Herald. 1t may not have
all the qualities Of rubber, which seems
to have been special gift OF Proyl'
dence to mankind, Of a value impos-
sibe Of replacement or counterfeit
But the uses Of rubber have extended
so enormously, and the supply is so
limited in tropical countries. that tho
mind of the world has been, as 1t
were, concentrated upon the PROPOSE
tion Of finding some substance which
would, under proper condition, take
It's place Until now no such product

change from hot to cold water which
