HOW RUBBER IS PROCURED FROM
 AMAZON LANDS

I Here we are at Para, at the mouth
 of the Amazon River. This is the 1 chief rubber port of the world, writes
 Frank George Carpenter in his 'How
 the World is Clothed" Those great
 steamers at the wharves have come from the United States and, Europe bringing supplies for the rubber
 camps; and they will take back car
 goes of rubber, Brazil nuts, and oth-
 CT Amazon products. This country produces more than 70,000,00O
 pounds of rubber every year, and
 most of this is brought down the
 Amazon and shipped from Para
 There is a small steamer unloading now. Negro porters are carrying
 great baskets filled with what look | like little smoked hams on their
 heads. They are taking them into
 those huge warehouses on the banks. singing a-Portuguese song as they go.
 But look. porter has stumbled and
 his, basket falls to the ground. The
 hams are jumping ahd bouncing
 about as though each were alIve. one
 has rolled off the wharf. striking a
 stone block far below. See how it
 bounds high up into the air. Those
 hams are ali rubber. and 1t is in that shape that the raw material comes to the market. N 1 We see carts, loaded with rubber hams, hauled by mules over the 1 streets. as we walk through Para I There is a rich smoky smell about the warehouses, and, as we look in | through the open doors, we can see
 men cutting the hams in two to find whether they are pure rubber all the way through. The cut hams look much like layers of dirty cheese, foI5 .1r-
 running through them. They are packed in pine boxes of 800 pounds
 each; and labeled for New York, Hamburg or London.
 We spend day or so at Para. go- ing through the large stores filled with supplies for the camps, and chatting with the merchants and ex- porters about rubber. They tell us that their product all comes from one or two varieties of trees, scatter ed over the forest. They do not grow together, and man has to walk sew eral miles in gathering .his rubber sap for the day. We are told that some trees are to be found near Para, but that we shall see them better if we go far up the river.
 A day or so later we take steam CT and make our way inland. The AIndZOu IS WlQ0s ana we are some times so far out that we can just see the banks. Now and then we are close to the shores, and the huge
 trees almost hang over our vessel. There are. gay-feathered toucans and chattering parrots among their branches, and the monkeys gibber at
 us as we sail by.
 On the third day we reach Manaos,
 another great rubber port. It is a
 large city with electric lights, tele- phones. and street cars, in the heart
 of the Amazon forest It is a supply point for the many camps along the Negro, the Madeira and the Maranon, the rubber being sent to Manaos for shipment to the market There are
 boats from all these rivers lying at
 the wharves; and we take passage on
 small steamer which carries us 1900 miles farther up this mighty system of waterways to the town of IquitoS (e-ke'tos). on the edge of Peru. We are now almost as far
 from Para as Para is from New York and in a country from which quanti-
