slight that it could easily be overcome.
Wagons with rubber wheels with
horses shod in rubber shoes would move
along the rubber paved streets without
sound Automobiles already rubber
tired would add their share to the gen.
eral silence. And all this eventually
means a lessening in nervous tension, in
nervous diseases and consequently in
doctors bills.
A thousand accidents of grievous con-
sequence in modern life would be quite
trivial in the City of Rubber. The waiter
who spills the soup over ones new suit
would merely have to bring the rubber
sponge and wipe ones coat. Weather,
whether fair or foul, will make no diff
ference whatever in Rubberville. Life
would still go on with a merry, busy
hum.

going to rain or not. II the sun shone

would be just as happy, for the water
could neither wrinkle nor fade her rub
Der clothes. Her rubber hat with its
beautiful and delicate rubber flowers and
rubber feathers would cease to be a
source OF worry. 1t could stand anything
from a light shower to a hRilstOrm.
Moreover, rubber clothes for women
would be highly economical. Styles could

bangle to which is attached little ivory

Among continental royalty there are
many superstitions connected with the
history of their respective families, some
of them stretching back into the Middle
Ages. The Kaiser on state occasions
always wears what is known as his
"toadstone ring" With this magic ring
is associated the wonderful prosperity
of the house of Hohenzollern.
According to the legend implicitly be-
lieved in by all connected with the ruling
German house, the stone of this ring
was dropped by a toad upon the bed of
Elector John of Brandenburg. II was
Immediately set and has been worn by
succeeding heads of the Hohenzollerns.
On his deathbed the Kaiser will hand the
ring, tnclosed in a sealed casket, to his
son, the Crown Prince.
Perhaps the most superstitious of
monarchs is Czar Nicholas of Russia.
Among his many mascots is a ring con-
tanning what is said to be piece of the
cross of Jesus Christ. It was presented
to a. former Russian autocrat by the
Vatican, and Nicholas plans never to be
without it. 1t is told OF, him that several
years ago he started on a trip from St.
Petersburg to Moscow. When he had
gone a considerable distance he dis
covered that he had left this ring be-
hind. He Immediately had the train
stopped, returned to st. Petersburg. and
once more started on his journey with
the precious mascot in his possession.

advantage Of hundreds of thousands of

The present rubber exhibition, which
has the official support Of more than
forty governments, affords abundant evil
dence of the progress that has been made
since the first exhibition of three years
ago. One room, writing room, is COM
pIetely furnished in rubber.
The walls are covered with rubber
skillfully disguised as wall paper. The
pictures are mounted in rubber frames
and the carpet is of the same all-con-
quering material. The tables and chairs,
the blotters. paper weights and letter
racks, the inkstands and the penholders
are of rubber. Even the electric table
lamps are of vulcanite.
Housewives who have visited the room
have examined the window curtains very
carefully. Even the person with the most
fertile imagination would scarcely imag-
inc window curtains of rubber. But such
is the case. The curtains are daintily
designed, hang in beautiful folds and
have a Iace-like appearance. And they

coins the Car also attaches marvellous
protective powers. Some years ago one
Bernhard .Tutnauer, a Jew living in
Radautz, a town in Bakavina, enter
tained a wonder-working rabbi from the
Orient. On his departure the rabbi
handed HIS host some odd coins, saying,
Although these may seem to you a poor
gift, yet they have the power to protect
greater than you from violent death"
That night Tutnauer had a dream in
which Alexander Ill, father Of Nicholas,
appeared to him and told him that the
coins he had received would protect any
one who wore a crown from harm. On
the two following nights he had the
same dream. Without further delay the
Jew sent the coins to the Gar, telling
him how they came into his possession
and giving an account of his three
dreams. The Gar accepted the gift and
sent in return cordial letter of thanks.

The debt Of the sportsman in almost
every kind Of field game to the grower
Of rubber is a heavy one. Whether he
plays baseball, lawn tennis, golf or any
number OF other games which might be
mentioned, he uses rubber in some form
or condition.
In one part Of the exhibition hall q
specimen tennis court has been built, in
order that doubters and experts may test
the rubber surface for themselves. The
court is made OF square blocks Of rubber
grown on a British plantation and they
have been laid 80 carefully that the sur
face is almost like that Of a billiard
table.
Those who have played on this court
say that ii has spoiled them for the old
fashioned grass or dirt court. Their

easier and they finished their games feel

Iicity, but Vicomte LOvenjoul heard OF
it. Knowing that she had some
treasures in the way of manuscripts and
realizing the carelessness of servants at
such time and the confusion of people
in charge. he feared for the safety of
these precious documents.
On making inquiry he found that lot
of rubbish had been thrown out-"just
old papers" Counting on his knowledge
of French thrift among the little shop
keepers-the Paris shopkeepers have a
pet economy. and that is to press into
service any kind of paper as long as it
is clean, thus saving an expenditure for
wrapping papeT-VicOmte LOyenjoul did
not lose a moment in securing all the
shops in the neighborhood OF the home of
Countess Miniszech.
After a microscopic search, miraculous
as it may seem, the persistent hunter
saw in a green-grOcer's some twisted
paper in the form of rornucopia ready
for use, and there he recognized in the
faded ink the we'll known handwriting
of Balzac. This manuscript is now in
the collection.
Vicomte Lovenjoul spent much of his
time on the quays of the Seine pOring
over the book-stalls or in the second
hand shops in his constant quest for his
peculiar kind of treasures.
As a youth his favorite pastime and
principal diversion was to assume a
disguise and then station himself in the

that with the great advances made in
the number and varieties of rubber
products the present steel age will short
ly be superseded by the age of rubber.
Rubber, ii must be remembered, can be
so treated in its manufacture that as
finished product II can have all the film
siness of tissue paper or, on the other
hand, all the strength and solidity Of
wood and iron. -
There is no reason why marine craft
should not be built of rubber. II great
ocean liners like the Vaterland or the
Olympic were made Of rubber and col
lded In midocean they would bound
away from each other like two rubber
balls meeting In midair. Instead of
torn steel plates and ripped up bottoms
with inrushIng water and the consequent
dreadful loss OF life there would be moth
ing worse than q sudden shock and a
reversal OF the ships course.
And again battleships could be con-
strueted OF rubber to great advantage of
the nation with long enough Imagination
to see the opportunities of feet so
built. Topcdo boats could discharge
their deadly torpedoes at the rubber hull
Of q battleship and the torpedo would
merely rebound in the direction from
which Il came. Cannon balls and shells
would likewise rebound from the rubber
plated sides Of such warcraft to explode
harmlessly in the water at some distance
from the ship.
An aeroplane constructed Of rubber
and an aviator wearing sufficient rubber
for his needs would have advantages al
most too obvious to mention. II the
aviator fell from his machine to earth
he would simply bounce and bounce until
his resilient rubber daps overcame the
force Of his impact with the earth and he
would finally come to rest somewhat up

sound.
Likewise in the case Of an aeroplane
falling to earth there would be no crash
ing and splintering of wooden and alum
mum stays and supports and ripping Of
delicate silk wings. The machine, like
its operator, would keep on bouncing
more gently and gently until it shortly
came to rest.
Street cars with wheels of rubber
would spin along rails Of rubber with
out a sound. Some means, of course,
would have to be found to stop the car,
for brakes of rubber operating against

lying GEORGE. who, in common with
n most European monarchs, is ex-

uncertain about the exact significance Of
the number thirteen.
When II. B. Duryea's horse, Dunbar
H., bearing the supposed unlucky num-
Der, raced home an easy winner in the
Derby, hopelessly beating the Kings
horse, second favorite in the betting,
King George had a rude sshock to his
conviction that nothing good could ever
come from number thirteen.
1t will, perhaps, be remembered that
it was King George who created an en-
barrassing situation at luncheon at the
home of the Hon. Mrs. John Ward,
daughter of the late Whitelaw Reid, by
refusing to sit down with dozen others.
He was but following in the footsteps OF
his father, who was an even more super
stitious man. ...
The late King Edward would not al
low two knives to lie on the table before
him, and his hostesses had to acquaint
themselves with all his little failings.
He also regarded Tuesday as his fateful
day, as he was born, baptized, married
and succeeded to the throne on that day.
The serious operation which postponed
his coronation also was performed on a
Tuesday.

From the time when she first wore the
