In southern India factory at which
high-grade rubber is made resembles a
dairy, the milklike appearance of the
latex adding to this illusion, as well
as the precautions tak.1 to insure abb
solute cleanliness. says tho Family
Herald. One of two methods of manu-
facture is generally adopted. If the
estate is young and only a few trees
are being tapped the rubber is made
in the form of biscuits or sheets. The
latex is put into shallow, round dishes
or oblong pans and a certain quantity
If acetic acid added to it. This is
the coagulating agent most generally
used. After standing for some hours
the rubber is found floating on the top
of the dish in a white, spougy clot.
This is removed and washed and rolled
by hand and through IA mangle until
clean. The biscuits are placed on racks
IN a warm room or an artificial dryer
and allowed to remain there until dry.
The finished biscuits are pale amber
cOlored and transparent, and for this
reason are popular on the market,
for their purity and freedom from dirt
can be judged by holding them to the
light and looking through them.
