There are many kinds and grades OF
rubber, and these can to-day be divided
into two chief classes-wild and cult

trees that have grown wild and whei
there has been no cultivation process.
Such trees and shrubs are found mostly
in northern South America. Central
America. Mexico. central Africa and
Borneo.
The finest rubber In the world has un-

from the smaller veins and down the CEN
ter vein into a little cup placed to re-

When the little cups are full they are
gathered and brought into the rubber
camp and there the lateX is coagulated
by means OF smoke. This is done by the
use Of u paddle which is alternately
dipped into a bow OF the latex and then
rtyolved in the smoke from a wood or

a preventative effect on the rubber as
well as drying IT out and causing IL TO
