pint of latex in four days and about.
ten pounds in season.
The rubber gatherer makes the
round of his trees daily, in the fore
neon, bringing back a supply of latex
to his hut. The production of rubber
from this occupies him during the bal |
ance Of the day. The process OF Co |
agulation is simple and the yield Is |
about 80 per cent. of the latex. The
latter is poured as evenly as possible |
over the fattened end of a 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 sufficiently stiff /
fened, another is added, and SO on,
until the paddle holds enough to make
certain sized ball or biscuit" The
biscuit" or fattened form of unit, is |
row generally preferred because 1t is
more easily handled and more readily
lends itself to the detection Of impuri-
ties. These are present to 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 it, These practicesI
have, however been practically elimi-I

The rubber collected from the gath

Manaos is surrounded on ell sides

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 2.0OV
river steamers and small vessels call
at the port every day. in addition to
about 200 ocean-going ships. Ten
years ago the city could offer nothing
better than river anchorage to ship
ping. 1t now has ample warehouses. a
stone quay and floating wharves and
bridges. These last are necessitated
by the great fluctuations in the river
