 The man was subdued and taken into custody by Special Officer Nelson Girard, who turned him over to Dep uty Sheriff Haven A. Roberts.
 On the way to the police station mess affairs, declaring he had con- tract to build and ship 1000 automo- piles next week. He told the sheriff he had $1,000,000 in the bank and was looking for 1000 men and women to work in his factories.

Use for cocoanut Water.

The discovery has just been made
at Colombo that cocoanut water,
which has always been considered a
useless waste product, is an excellent
rubber coagulant. Millions of gallons
of cocoanut water allowed to run to
waste on estates can now be made use
of at good profit.
The cocoanut water is allowed to
ferment for four or five days, after
which it can be used without further
delay as coagulating latex. One to
two ounces of the fermented cocoanut
water is allowed to coagulate one pint
of the pure latex.
This is said to produce fine rub
Der, superior to that procured with the
use of crude acetic acid. The color
of the rubber with acetic acid fermen.
tation is decidedly inferior to the &C.
coanut water fermentation.
