SUCCESS SLOW IN COMING
Discoverer of VuIcanzed Rubber Was
at One Time Compelled to Beg
Money for Bread.

Charles Goodyear, who became
millionaire and was the inventor Of vul-
canized rubber as we'll as many other
forms of the tree sap products, at one
time was forced to beg for SIS to keep
him from starving. In 1884 he discov-
cred that rubber could be vulcanized.
1t was an accident. He attempted to
remove some bronze dust from bit Of
rubber cloth, and after trying several
chemicals tried aqua FORTS, 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
rubbed by the aqua forts had hard
ened and would stand a degree of heat
that would have melted 1t in its former
state.
lie 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
discreduol and returned rotring and
broken. He was ruined. He started
in again to discover a method that
would vuloanize the rubber. and for
ten years he Kept at It, his life q long
misery Of hunger and cold and crush
ing poverty. His success came sudden

HAD TOUCH OF COMIC OPERA
Chinese Armies Stopped Fighting to
Let United States Vessel Pass
Down the River.

Ensign William n. Galbraith, navi'
eating officer of the United States de-
stroyer Hart, attached to the United
States Asiatic squadron In Chinese wa.
tiers, In q letter tells Of the intensified
work placed on the hands Of the YES
sells Of the squadron In the Far East
by the operations Of the Chinese civil
war now In progress between the Pc
kingese and the Cantonese sections Of
the nation. When armies representing
these hostile sections approach cities
In which American citizens are in bust
ness there is much excitement on the
part of the Americans and they call
urgently for the protection Of the fleet,
says the Columbus Dispatch.
Recently the Hart received a radio
gram call from an officer of a United
States merchant vessel, stating that his
vessel so miles up one of the Chinese
rivers was being detained. The captain
was anxious to put to sea, and would
the Hart see that it was permitted to
depart? The Hart got on the job at
once and found when the scene was
reached that there was no govern
mental authority holding the United
States ship up, but, the Cantonese
army was drawn up on one side Of the
river and the Pekingese on the other
and battle was in progress, with the
river, through which the United States
ship must pass, between them. Natu-
rally the captain did not fancy risking
the shots that were passing across the
channel. The respective commanders
kindly suspended the fighting until the
merchant vessel had passed.

HUMAN FACE AS A BEACON
Radiometer Able to Record the
"Shine" Thrown OF, at Distance
of Several Miles.

Novellsts that speak of a face
lighting up" put down an actual truth
that few Of them are aware Of or In

struments in the world, a radiometer,
records the "shine" Of human face,
and can do It Mt distance Of several
miles. So delicate Is the instrument
that It can detect and record the glim-
mer Of candle half mile away. and
II there were no atmospheric obstruc-
tion 1t could detect the same candle 10
miles away. The instrument consists
Of two thin glass disks, one polished
and one blackened, suspended by q
quartz thread In q vacuum. Waves Of
radiant energy striking this nstru-
ment disturb its balance. because the
bright disk reflects them, while the
black one ahsorbs them.
While tic human face TO the nor

energy. The fact remains that con

NEW MONTE CARLO IN CUBA?
bling Establishment May Be
Located on the island.

The greatest gambling center In
the world will be located In the west
ern hemisphere II plaas for palaces
In Cuba develop as given out" said
Walter P. Harris OF HAVANA Cuba
Is already beset with the gambling
fever. and fortunes change hands
there almost every day.
"Since the announcement Of the
prince OF Monaco that he Is prepar-
ing to close Monte Carlo, there have
been extensive preparations FOR the
establishment Of great gambling pal
aces designed to attract the sporting
element that now visits Monte Carlo
to the Pearl of the Antilles Several
villages have been surveyed with the
view of locating this gambling Gen.
ter, but so far no definite decision has
been reached.
Gambling is alre1dy flourishing in
Havana. The Casino de IA Playa is a
great garish temple Of roulette, where
wonderful dinners are served at less
than cost. The profit TO the house
comes from the wheel. The men who
take women to the Casino for dinner
invariably back them at the wheel.
"The moratorium now in effect on
the island has not affected the crowds
at the Casino, because they are most
ly composed Of tourists, and the Wis
itor is treated to the sight Of a coun-
try, apparently bankrupt but gambling
madly, where fortunes change hands
overnight and the beggar Of today
may be the rich man Of tomorrow
