ed extraordinary qualities OF resilicn-
cy. Many years after when it was
discovered that this gum could be
used to rub out pencil marks 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 a cen
fury later a Boston navigator brought
from Brazil a number OF pairs of
boots which had been coated with the
coagulated milk of the rubber trees.
Their popularity was immediate, on
account of their imperviousness to
water. But more than two centuries
previously a Madrid writer had chron-
iCled the fact that Spaniards in the
world made n practice Of waxing
their canvas cloaks with the rubber
juice to keep out the rain. Our com
