 While the most approved method of reducing the milk to rubber in South America Is by coagulation in smoke natives of Africa frequently resort to the practice of covering their bodies with the fluid as it is taken from the tree, and after there has been sufficient evaporation the rubber residue is scraped off and nodded into cubes. In the Fiji Islands the rubber workers use their moutb1s as Tetorts' or 'separators', tlhe rub- Der pellets as they form being taken tn the fingers and molded into balls.
 One of the by-products of rubber harvesting and one which promises extensive development, since planta- tions of these trees have been suc- ceESfm in Sumatra. Ceylon and the Straits Settlements, is the rubber seed. which yields almost half it's weight of an oil closely resembling Hnseed oil, and adapted to the same uses-

 "It is difficult to realize that rubbers role in modern civilization and war fare has been played only during the last six decades, following that hap py accident when Charles Goodyear, a Connecticut inventor, dropped a mix. ture of sulphur and rubber on hot stove and discovered the long sought principle of vulcanization which pre- vents the gum from becoming brittle in cold weather and sticky when warm.
 '1t was during Columbus second visit to the New World that his sail ors observed the natives of Haiti play ing with a ball of gum which pos sessed extraordinary qualities of re- siliency. Many years later it was dis covered that this gum could be used to rub out pencil marks, and it was given the name of Indian-rubber.
 Rubber was introduced into the United States in 1900, which, by an odd coincidence, was the year of Charles Goodyear's birth. Half cen- tury later a Boston navigator brought from Brazil a number of pairs of boots which had been coated with the coag- ulaL6Q u11lk or the TuDDor trees. 1Qelr popularity was immediate, on account of their imperviouSness to water. But more than two centuries previously a Madrid writer had chronicled the fact that Spaniards in the New World made a practice of waxing their can- vas cloaks with rubber juice to keep
 out the rain. Our common noun mac intosh is a tribute to the canniness of a Scotchman, Charles Mackintosh, who improved on this early ratncoat by
 dissoIving rubber in naphtha and
 spreading a thin layer of the solution between two pieces of cloth. From the double thickness he made waterproofs that won worldwide popularity.

This will apply to the French operette and also to French Iibrettists, who will be commissioned to write the texts for various Italian works. In this way 1t is hoped that the neglected French operette will come into it's own again and oust the Viennese productions, which have practically held supreme control for several years.
 By a reciprocal arrangement, the Opera Comique will produce Italian works even more profusely than here,
