Use for Coccsnut Water

The discovery has just been made
at Colombo that cocoanut water,
which has always been considered q
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 q good profit.
The cocoanut water is allowed to
ferment for four or Ave 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 a fine rub

Cyrus Vane stood in the laboratory
Of the hospital. watching his test
tubes. The little colonies that were
spreading upon the gelatine meant
that the new bacillus could be- devel-
oped in an ordinary medium With
this he planned to do what science had
hitherto failed in doing. He hoped to
cure infantile paralysis, and convert
what was scourge into q mild Ill
ness merely.
For six weeks he had devoted his
time to this alone. Meanwhile the
scourge had fastened itself upon the
town. Children were dying. 1t had
never been checked. What a boon the
new antitoxin, prepared from the ba-
cillus. would be!
Vane was sure of It, He had in.
jected it into apes and watched them
recover from artificially induced pes
thence. He had tested the serum in
every possible way. Why. then, could
he not give 1t to the world?
That question is often asked by
those who are impatient for new rem
edies. The answer is that, before the
conservative physician will make pub
lie his achievements it is necessary
for the proof to have been piled up in
at least thousand experimental cases.
In short, all over the country physi-
clans were trying out Vane's discov-
cry, on monkeys. on apes, and per-
haps here and there on children who
were in the grip of the disease and
could not have been harmed by the
serum. even If it failed to- benefit
them.
But until the results of the thou.
sand cases were known, the serum
could not be made public property.
Vane had said as much to the
wretched women who, having heard
rumors Of his discovery; grow.
elled before him that morning, implor.
ing the serum for their children. He
had almost forced them away.
He walked thoughtfully homeward.
The wide street was almost empty,
only . few storekeepers sat under

said he would have liked to put ~

perence."
% Harold" sobbed Margaret, land
we've nearly quarreled about how
we would build our home, when all
the time there wasn't any more chance
of our living in the country than of
going to live on the-the moon"
During succeeding weeks life pc
came very dreary for both of them.
The thought of their vanished para
disc depressed them, and the more
impossible their country abode be-
came, the more they longed for it.
i was about three weeks after this
episode when Margaret received q
visit from a brisk little man with Q
pronounced English accent. who was
closeted with her for nearly an hour.
He had been gone only ten minutes
when Harold entered. His wife threw
herself into his arms.
Harold" she cried. What do you
think? You remember my uncle
Henry, who always said he wouldn't
leave me q penny If I married you,
because he didn't like your being q
Presbyterian? Well, he's dead and
he's left me thirty thousand dollars!"
1t took several minutes to convince
Harold of her earnestness.
We'll have our home for sure now,
Harold said Margaret, joyfully
YES" answered Harold gleefully.
And, as a sort of farewell to Broad
way, what do you say to a little din
ner at the Stafford House?'
First Glass; said Margaret enthu.
siastically.
They had never been greatly set on
New York, but now, when they were
about to remove themselves from It
forever. a certain element of resigna-
ton mingled with their contempt for
the great. noisy, garish city. So much
SO. in fact, that the night saw them
at the theater, and the next also-and
the next.
Harold, what do you think of liv-
ing on the Hudson?" inquired Mar
garet few nights later. There is
a fine site to be sold, and I thought
we might go out and have a look at
1t on Saturday.
But, Margie. you forget that we
are to 60 to the matinee at the opera
house on Saturday"
And somehow that visit to the sub
urbs never came off, for Harold was
wanted unaccountably at the office
every Sunday, as we'll as Saturday az
ternoons-at least SO Margaret be-
lieved until she came upon him one
Sunday afternoon, reading a magazine
in the waiting room of the Grand
Union station. She watched him for
two hours before she went up to him.
What does it mean? Why are you
hiding from me like this?" she asked,
tears in her eyes.
Thank Cod" calculated Harold
firmly, Il knew you'd have to know
some day.
Know what, Harold?"
Know" he shouted, "that-New
York's-go0d enough-for me. Why,
are you destroying?"
The plans for our country home"
she answered delightedly, as the
pieces Of paper fluttered across the
floor.
