STRANGE WEDDING ....,..
-. SUPERsTlTIoNs

Stockings figure in some curious
superstitions touching old customs,
especially those connected with mar
riage. Every one knows that there
are actions both lucky and unlucky.
Among the former it is commonly
held that to put on any right article
of clothing wrong side out is decid-
eddy sign of good luck, but it must
lie done accidentally, and when the
mistake is found out no change must
be made, else the luck will immedi.
ately vanish. This idea is very firm.
ly held about stockings, probably be
cause it is more easy to make such
mistake in putting on stockings
than in donning other garments. II
would be hard, indeed, for a woman
to put on her dress or a man his
coat or vest inside out without motto
ing what he was doing.
Another superstition touching the
use of hose is connected with dream
ing. This is a Scotch notion. If a
person be about to sleep in bed that
he or she has never slept in before,
the certainty of dreaming can be as.
sured by placing the stocking taken
off the RICH foot under the head. Not
only will the sleeper be sure to dream
but the dream will certainly come to
pass.
OF the superstitions attached to
marriage ceremonies, most people
have heard of Throwing the stock
ing" This rite would hardly be re-
garded~ now as consistent with mod
ern notions OF decorum, but it was
highly popular in former days. The
ceremony was performed at the con-
clusion Of the wedding days festi,
yities by young men and girls seated
at the bed-foot-the former having
the brides and the latter the bride
groom's stockings-whose object in
throwing the hose backward over
their heads was to hit, if possible, the
head and especially the nose. of one
or other of the newly-married couple
\ successful shot meant marriage at
an early date for the thrower.

THE RUBBER CHEMIST

The rubber chemist has at last come
into his own. Fifteen years ago. only
a few rubber manufacturing concerns
employed an expert chemist, but all
that has been changed, and now, with
the exception of the small manufac-,
turers, the rubber chemist is recog-
nized member of all rubber manufae-
turing enterprises. There are three
reasons for this change. The first is
the great increase in the Importance
and value of rubber manufacture in
this country. In fifteen years time the
value of the annual product of our
American factories has risen from
S85, 900, 900 to over 1920, 100000. The
second reason to which may be as
cribed the rise Of the rubber chemist
is the great development that has ia
ken place in the last decade and "a hall
in rubber planting. Fifteen years ago
the produce of the rubber plantations
was so small as to be quite negligible
Last year the product of the rubber
plantations amounted to over $4,000
tons, and is likely in three years time
to be almost, three times its present
size. The third reason for the rapidly
increasing Importance Of the rubber
chemist is the prominent position that
synthetic rubber now occupies, If not
in commerce at leastsin the thought
and attention of the rubber world. The
work of the rubber chemist may be
divided properly into two departments
One concerned with the production OF
crude rubber, and the other with its
utilization in manufacturing processes
Before the advent of plantation rub
Der there was very little in the field
of rubber products that the rubber
chemist could interest himself in to
advantage. The natural home of wild
rubber among the inaccessible jungles
along the Amazon made it practically
impossible for the white man to give
this problem adequate study. but with
the development Of plantation rubber
the situation his distinctly changed,
for in the plantation the expert can
not only live with perfect safety. but
he can work with every comfort In
dia Rubber World.
