When one comes to the peak of am

the house properly and intelligently

Ashland has. in its scenic and top

There are many house owners who

forms of the tree sap products, at one
time was forced to beg for So to keep
him from starving. In 1884 he discoy-

1t was an accident. He attempted to
remove some bronze dust from bit of
rubber cloth, and after trying several
chemicals tried aqua FORTS, n chem
ical largely composed of sulphuric acid.
1t failed also, and he threw the cloth
away. A few days later he picked it
up by chance, and noted the spot

ened and would stand degree of heat
that would have melted it in its former
state.
He applied his discovery, and soon
was wearing rubber shoes, coats, hats
and other garments, and had a small
fortune by the right of his discovery.
But a year passed, and his goods were
discredited and returned, rotting and
broken. He was ruined He started
in again TO discover a method that
would yulcaniZe the rubber, and for
ten years he kept at it, his life long
