VAST RUBBER SHIPMENT

One of the greatest shipments of
rubber ever received in Aemrica in
a single lot is proceeding across coun-
try from San Francisco to Detroit in
special train Of twenty-six cars.
The weight of the shipment is 2,24o,-
600 pounds.
The rubber is consigned to the Nor

more than to the average man unac-
quainted with the infinitely slow proc
esses by which such stores of rubber
are built up. The shipment in ques
tion represents the entire production
of about $4,000 rubber trees for an
entire year. and the labor of more
than 1000 men for the same period.
Production Is . Marvel.
Every working day of the year the
tappers visit every tree, collecting the
fluid and making fresh cuts in the
barks. From the new cuts the valu-
able rubber fluid begins to drip into
the porcelain cups. Any one watching
the slow drip would marvel that SO
slow a process could ever produce
trainload of crude rubber. Each trees
contribution is less than two -tenths
Of an ounce of rubber a day, or about
four pounds q year.
