Rubber Producing Plants.

Of all rubber producing plants, only
guayule grows wild within our bord-
ers. In the Big Bend territory in Texas
a large district, only second in size
to the Chihuahuan field in Mexico, is
available. Why not extend this field
over the arid lands of New Mexico,
Arizona and Nevada? Waste land
would be utilized, and valuable pro-
duct secured. Guayule is not new to
the American rubber man, unfortun-
ately it is almost ancient history to
him. 1t is safe to say that there are
scattered over this country at least
fifty deresinating plants, intended pri-
marily for the treatment Of this rub
ber. At one time they furnished about
one-fifth of the entire rubber used in
this country. The total production Of
the Mexican guayule fields was about
10000 tons of the washed and dried,
but not deresinated, rubber a year,
from 1905 to 1910. In 1911 it began
to fall off, and the recorded production
for 1912 is $500 tons. About so per
cent of this production was exported
to the United States. Since 1912 quay
ule has been comparatively unimport-
nt.-Metallurgical and Chemical En-

EACH HAS ONE REGULARITY
That of Mrs. BiIItops, Remarks Her
Spouse, is Belief That She Can Go
Out in Rain and Not Get Wet

at is my observation" said Mr.. Bill
tops, "that we all of us have, co.
sciously or unconsciously, some one
popularity in which our friends must
indulge US.
''NOw take Mrs. Billtops; the gen.
tlest, the most forbearing, the most
serenely patient person on the face
of the earth. You wouldn't think that
Mrs. Billtops had any strange notion
in which she must be humored. But
she has just one, the same being that
it is possible to carry an umbrella over
her in such a manner as to shelter
her completely. In this notion I
humor her as far as can, but l know
that whenever we go anywhere in the
rain l am in for trouble.
81 hold the umbrella way over on
her side, always protecting her hat as
far as possible, and calmly letting the
rain drip down on my own hat and
shoulder, but no matter how l carry
it l simply cannot carry it to suit her.
1 always carry it wrong in some way,
not far enough over or too high or
too low.
Can't you see that it's crushing
my feather?' Mrs. Billtops says to me
in tone low but of great concentra-
ton, at which l raise the umbrella a
little, and then a moment later:
Don't you see that the rain is
blowing in on my hat? she says, and
then l hold it little lower again, and
keep right on all the time doing the
best l know how, though the simple
fact is that no man living could
shelter any woman completely under
an umbrella unless he had one as big
as the dome of the capitol at Wash
ington.
"It is time of trial when 1 go out
with Mrs. Billtops with an umbrella,
its elimination coming after we get
home, when she shakes her coat and
her skirts and says: I am just soak
ing! But it is soon over after that.
"You might think that these occa-
stons would be dread to me, but the
fact is quite to the contrary; for it is
by these little human lapses on Mrs.
Billtop's part that I am made to
realize more fully and gratefully the
blessing of her all but perennial Sc
renity."

Tapestry Weaving Almost Lost Art

Today the sole repository of the art
of tapestry weaving is the workshop
of the Gobelins, established by Louis
XIV in 1862 with $50 workmen, who
are now reduced to 60. Only a CEN
tury ago there were a number Of such
repositories. The pope, the king Of
Spain, and the king of Bavaria main
tanned workshops in Rome, Madrid
and Munich. William F. Paris tells
US in Decorative Elements in Archi-
lecture" that others existed in Tu-
rim and Naples. But more than half
century ago all of these went out of
existence. Not until 1906 did the Gobe-
Inns court any publicity by giving an
open exhibition of their work, dis
play then being made at the annual
exposition of French artists in Paris,
New York Evening Post.

Helping the Laundress.

81 declare to goodness, have got the
backache so today just can't lift that
tub" said the laundress, as she looked
at it on the bench in the laundry.
"Why lift it?" asked John.
"And how do you suppose am
going to get it emptied?" asked the
laundress, sarcastically.
"Siphon it out" said John.
Then he went to closet where odds
and ends were kept, found a piece of
rubber tubing, filled it with water, and
then, holding both ends, placed one
in the tub and trailed the other off to
the sewer opening in the floor. In a
moment the water was running out
nicely, while the laundress stood with
her mouth open, watching how easy
1t was.

A reliable authority states that orig
inally the colors of the Newfoundland
dog were red, brown, brown and white,
bronze, red and white, and black and
white; but these have given place to
two orthodox colors-black (Which is
generally preferreO, or black and

Landseer, in his celebrated picture, "a
Member of the Royal Humane So

kinndon of Israel

The kingdom of Israel lasted several
hundred years, during which there
were more than twenty kings, begin
ming with Saul, who reigned from 1895
B. c. to 1855 B. G.; followed in success
sion by David, Solomon and others to
Zedekiah, who became king 597 B. c.
Saul, the first of the line, was chosen
and anointed as king by the prophet
Samuel, who also designated David as
Saul's successor. The office was not
strictly hereditary, but was supposed
to spring from divine authority. All
of the kings are mentioned by name in
the Biblical book of Kings.

Photooraphs With Bubble BACKGROUND.

Professor Boys of England, expert
menting with bubbles, obtained some
very large ones, which in the sunshine
changed colors so beautifully that he
conceived the idea Of using them as
backgrounds for photographs.
These large bubbles were blown with
an ordinary bellows, says the Popular
Science Monthly. The soap solution
was heated and large-mounted fun.
mel was dipped into it. The bellows,
connected with the funnel, was then
worked very gently. Bubbles with as
great a circumference as two and a
half feet were easily obtained.

palace in Berlin on New Years night,
1912, when, as usual, grand court re-
ception was held.
In the famous White salon, with its
ceilings gaudily emblazoned with the
nrms of the Hohenzollerns as bur-
graves, electors, kings, emperors, and
what-not, its walls of colored marble
pnd gilded bronze, and it's fine statues
of the Prusslan rulers, we had all as

The North American child is too

pride which it's parents cannot always
reasonably take in themselves. 1t is
petted, cajoled, pampered, overdressed,
and underdisciplined, till there is
evolved pygmy for whom the world
soon grows banal, who is destitute of
the petitionary apparel to childhood,
and who surveys an already antici-

with the cold eyes of unnatural knowl-

smart beyond description. But there
is in the forced garden of it's life no
sheltering bed where may bloom the
flowers of graciousness or peace. Of
such will be the new aristocracy, and
IFS traditions will be of grandfathers
who, by virtue of that native Ameri-

goods of their period and were prompt

will be few traditions of courtliness,
scant reminders that noblesse oblige,

IN THE FIELD OF DRAMA IS

with unfailing regularity. Eyes Of
Youth" which may be carried into the
mid-season By the gifts Of Marjorie
Rambeau, is a trick play. Il is the
dream trick play with variations. the
variations in the case being clairvoy-
ance and crystal gazing. Even the
finest drama ever written may De said
to have a glorious Inconsistency If It
is TO be measured by the countensnce
Of real life. But there is an inner law
which drama follows il IL is 20 be per-
suasive and convincing; and the trick
play follows no inner law OF any Kind
unless il is the law Of trickery. Eyes
Of Youth" therefore, clings desperate
" 20 the belief that shutting and re-
shutting the scheme Of the play will
prove more seductive than patient dis
closure Of the character Of Gina Ash
ling; indeed, that Gina Ashling's char
acter can be shunted anywhere SO long
a. the situations that result are suf-
GENTLY astonishing and shocking.
As a matter of fact, the rea, story
Of Gina Ashling comes out in the third
episode. where she appears logically
a. the opera singer the first act i'm
piled she was going to become. And
Marjorie Rsmbeau proves it By dis
closing the first actual test Of her
powers Of the evening. She is indeed
quite magnificent. Maybe If she man

will convince Messrs. MARGIN and
Guernon that they ought 20 write an
other act to show what really became
of the Gina Ashling who would rather
take the money Of her lovers than the
money of the people who wanted to
hear her voice.
Not an easy JOB, perhaps. But in
finitely satisfying it ought TO be. Be
cause every one knows BY this time
that the dream play is only an easy
way Of walking around difficulties
that plsywrights aren't smart enough
to work their way through.
