Advice to young men, from the
Sharon Springs Western Times: If
you wish to rise with the sun do not
sit up all night with the daughter.
How nearby towns love one anoth-
er! Says the Manhattan Nationalist:
Junction City has a fire about every
day now. Junktown is sure getting
dry and dead.
An alarming query from the Oakley
Graphic: When the Democrats pass
what laws they want on top of what
the Republicans have passed then
where will we be at?
Diogenes searched for an honest
man with lantern, notes the Beaver
Valley Booster, and it adds: If he
lived in these days of up-to-date gos-
sip he wouldn't think of using any
thing short of a searchlight.
We now live under a Democratic
state government, remarks the John
son Progressive News, and after ask
ing if any one notices any difference
it is reasonable enough to say: We
do not ascribe the wind Tuesday to
the change.
mented upon by the Atwood Square
Deal, as follows: Herman Antholz
and George Feistner, two jolly bache-
Tor farmers, of the north divide were
shopping in town Saturday. We don't
see why the young ladies have let the
Leap Year pass and have not popped
the question to these men, as they
are worthy and we'll qualified and
would make good husbands. 1t would
mt be so worse girls.
1t has been a stock saying for years,
remarks the Russell Reformer, that if
women had the right to vote they
would vote as their husbands do and
that there would be no change in the
relative showing of the political par
ties. The time is near at hand when
that statement may be proven a fake
along with a few thousand other fakes
that have been hopelessly exploded.
The story of the man who kept a
pack of hungry wolves at bay with
four lighted cigars, sounds plausible
to the Bunker Hill Advertiser. And
no wonder! Jonah Raynor, of its ac-
quaintance, tells of killing 81 of the
varmints by grabbing a live wolf and
using it as a club to dispatch the 9TH
ers. But, as the Advertiser remarks:
Men were men in those pioneer days.

tfllation of rubber a coIorless liquid now
named isoprene. He discovered that
this liquid on standing became viscid,
and that on subsequent distillation 1t
became hardened to a white, spongy
mass. We know now that in that mass
was rubber. In 1875 a Frenchman, g.
Bourchardat, believed, but could not
prove, that the molecules of isoprene
polymerized-i e. intercombined
through rearrangement-into rubber. In
1882 Sir William Tilden actually
prepared rubber from isoprene by
treating it with hydrochloric acid,
but he could not repeat his expert
ments; while in 1892 he discovered that
some old specimens of isoprene. OBJ
tanned from turpentine, had converted
themselves into rubber without his
help, In 1907 a German, Fritz Hof-
mann, converted isoprene into rubber
by methods which anybody could re-
peat, and in 1910, and with a dramatic
coincidence, Harries, of Holland, and
Matthews, an Englishman, independ-
emily discovered, and for no legitimate
reason except that they were "just try
ing everything that small quantity
of metallic sodium by it's mere pres
ence could carry isoprene over into ruo-
Der in cumulative proportions. About
the same time it was discovered that
other substances, analogous to iso-
prene homologues as they are called,
derivatives Of butadiene. were capable
of a similar metamorphosis.
In 1910, then, in consequence of these
decades of work and happy chance,
scientific freebooters that could get to
isoprene, or its like, could go to rubber,
and they have rapidly been arriving by
different routes The necessity of the
situation is, of course, a cheap raw
material Some start from turpentine,
others from fusel-oil, still others from
starch, and much may be said as a
starting-poin in rubber synthesis for
petroleum AS the upshot, it may GER
tainly be said that synthetic rubber
will soon be on the market in competi-
ton for the rubber demand, at first
timidly and tentatively. but ultimately,
we may be sure, it will play with nat
ural rubber in the markets of the
world an equal role.
