Artificial Rubber.

According to 4 report from AmelI-
can Consul General GriTiths of
London, a method of making arti-
fetal rubber has now been perfect

the grand bounce to the rubber trust

boy with bean shooter.
4 description of the new process
is interesting. 1t is thus described
by Mr. Criffiths:
In order to produce rubber COM
mercially it was necessary, it was
stated. to discover a cheap source OF
isoprene. Coal, petroleum, wood,
sugar and starch were considered
Finally starch from grain or tubers

was found that isoprcne could be

which will enable fusel oil to be
produced at $40 to $2fS per ton as
AGAINST a normal market price OF

Long live "isoprene," also long

chester, the discoyerer Of the new
method. Let us hope that when we
buy a pair Of artificial rubber over
shoes hereafter they will not spring
a leak the next day, as has happened
occasionally with real rubber ones.
Also let us hope that artificial rub
bar tires will not blow up when we
are in the middle of desolatIon,
fourteen miles from a garage,

been so elastic that they have

being produced at IL cents apiece.

MMLIE-CHRISTINE DEAD.
Human Freak, Known the World
Over, Dies Near Whiteville, N c.

over, Dies near "nlteViAle, ~ -.
Word was received here yesterday
afternoon that Millie, one of the Gel
ebrated Millie-Christine twins, known
all over the world, had died at the
home of the pair near Wh!teville,
Columbus county,N C,and last night
a message was received stating that
Christine died at 1:30 o'clock in the
afternoon, some hours after the
death of the other. The twins were
about go years old.
Born in Columbus county in slave
ry times, the women, who were col
ored. were sold in their youth for
$4,000 for exhibition purposes.
While being shown in Philadelphia,
a few years after their sale, they
were stolen and nothing was heard
of them by their owner for several
years. Finally he located them in
London and regained possession of
them. He again placed them on ex-
hibition and they appeared before
many of the crowned heads of Eu-
rope as we'll as being exhibited
throughout the old country and
America. They were seen in Will
mington the last time with a carni-
val year or two ago.
Millie-C Christine had two heads and
two sets of lower extremities but
only one body. What one disliked
the other disliked, the same thing
made each sick, but they had their
differences and were known to have /,
quarreled with themselves.
They were the wonder of physi-
clans, anatomists and biologists ev-
erywhere. On the stage they sang
in chorus and danced. One head
carried on a conversation with one
person while the other carried on a
different conversation with someone
else. One could sing one thing, and
the other something else, yet they
were so completely one person that
one could not perform any function
without the other.
Millie-C Christine was puzzle. In
many respects they were one person
atty, and in others they were two.
They really appeared to be one per-
son with two heads. A pain gave the
other a pain. 1t was a repetition OF
the end of the Siamese twins who,
died in North Carolina, at their
home near Mt Airy. One died while
the other was asleep. When the live
one was awaked and informed that
the other was dead, he expired in a
few minutes. Only a ligament at
the side connected them, where were
otherwise two perfectly formed men
who had violent differences at times.
Both of the Siamese twins were
married, and left families in Surrey
county, North Carolina.
Millie-Christine was a more won
derful being than the famous SIAM
ese twins. They apparently had but
one body, but evidently there were
two. Each person,if there were two
of them, had two hands, two legs
and two feet; and yet anatomically
she or they had only one body so far
as close observations were con-
cerned.
The women were reported to be
very wealthy. - Washington Star,
