Uses For Rubber.

rEw things would surprise a RIP
Van Wrinkle Of today more than
the number of uses to which the '
modern world is putting india rubber.
oyerworked mothers of past genera !
tions. who tried each night during
the season of deep snow to keep out
the next days moisture by patiently -
rubbing their children's boots with
tallow. and were only partially sue =.

wous to water.
In point of fact, half Of the i'm" :
mense volume of rubber manufacture -
in the United States consists OF boots =
and shoes. The rest is distributed -
among articles too diverse to be read -
ily classified. The rubber tire for au- :
tomobiles, bicycles and light vehi-ac
cles of other descriptions draws heav--1
ily upon the rubber resources Of thecy
world. o"
So great is the demand for the. raw y
material, of which the United States III
imports fifty times as much as 1t dfdh'
in 1862. that Europe. as well as our""
own back yards, is now ransackedS'

pounds annually than it did of fndia--.-
rubber itself at the time OF the cene =
tennial exhibition in Philadelphia in
1875, at a time when the Importation.
was supposed to have reached its
peak.
Few articles seem more strangely
named than ida rubber. 1t gets the

it was put-that Of erasing pencil
marks by rubbing. Nor should it be
associated with India. The tree was
first mentioned by an explorer among
the Mexican Indians. three centuries
or more ago. and the first account
of the substance occurs in connection
with Columbus visit to Haiti on his

japanese Metals.

THE Japanese are famed not only
for their skill In making decora-
tive articles, but also for the beauty
of the materials used. 1t is said that
the secret Of the composition Of some
of their alloys of brass and copper
has only lately been revealed. The
finest Japanese brass. called "sinchu,"
consists Of ten parts Of copper and
five of zinc. Another very. beautiful
alloy, named "shadko," to which
splendid hues are impaired by treat

gold and copper, the proportion Of
