Amazing Foresight
 Credited Goodyear
PubHcized Invention of lO43 Reflects Exceptional
 Prophetic Ability of Famous Inventor

Nearly one hundred years ago, Charles Goodyear published the fol- lowing in order to acquaint the public with the products of his new invention. It is amazing to note the exceptional ability Mir. Goodyear had of foreseeing the fu- ture. The following is pamphlet issued by Goodyear in 1844 listing the uses and possible future uses of vulcani2ed rubber:
 'aThe subscriber has invented or discovered, Q metallic gum elastic composition.
 'EIe is prepared to demonstrate, by ocular and irresistible evidence that this gum elastic composition pos- besses extraordinary and valuable qualities; namely that:
 1. No degree of heat. without blaze can melt 1t. It remains un- altered in the torrid zone. Heat without blaze, more intense than 28O degrees, Fahrenheit, chars 1t like wood.
 2. It continues flexible in any degree of cold. The contact of ice itself does not stiffln 1t,
 3. Tn durability it surpasses any other material applicable to sinni- lar use.
 q. Its elastic power is superior to that of common India Rubber, and is retained unaffected by heat, cold, or continued stretching.
 5. Of itself, or in combination with fabrics of cotton, or any other material, 1t can be made of any desirable strength, with or without elasticity.
 6. It resists the worst powerful chemical reagents, aquafortis, sul- phuric acid essential and common oils, turpentine, and other solvents, which destroy the native gum, wood, feet upon the composition, except

that long continued immersion to pure aquafortis or sulphuric acid, chars 1t.
 '. It possesses valuable medical qualities, being substitute for oiled silk, furnishing hydrostatic beds, and a great variety of articles used in surgery.
 8. It, as well as fabrics with which it is used in combination can be washed in boiling water with lime or lye, without injury.
 9. Like other gum elastic compo- sition 1t is water and air-proof.,
 10. It is not liable to be injured by rats, moths or other vermin.
 il. It can be nodded or embossed like wax, and can be prepared in sheets of any thickness or thin ness.
 12. It will take any color.
 IS. It will take Japan varnish; and equals in beauty patent leather, as 1t surpasses 1t in many other qualities.
 l4. It takes impressions more delicately than the finest paper.
 IS. It can be woven or braided,
 16. It can be mapped, like broad cloth or plush.
 1T. It can be rendered perfectly tasteless, and inoffensive in point oi odor.
 IS. It's contraction, after having hAAn stretched in threads between two adhering thicknesses of cotton silk, or other flexible materials shirs or corrugates the fabric in Q new and beautiful manner, ant renders 1t applicable to c variety oi uses.

 The above mentioned are some of the qualities and uses of this com position. It is not pretended that all tke fabrics of this composition possess, alike, all the qualities or are applicable to all the uses, be. fore enuemrated; each kind of fab- rio possesses those qualities which are desirable for the uses to which 1t should be applied. A cloth in- tended to sustain friction would be different from Q cloth designed to resist pulley or straining; and light, ni-transparent fabrics, suitable for printing upon, being finished by e peculiar process, do not possess, as they do not require some of the qualities which are desirable in heavier goods.
 This composition has been already subjected to chemical analysis, to thorough and practical tests by men of science and by the Government of the United States.
 In now presenting it to the public, the subscriber invites the most searching investigation and the most severe trial.

Flynn Nomination

President Roosevelts nomination of Edward
j. Flynn as minister to Australia has sci
off fireworks at Washington when a political
dimout is most essential.
The principal charge against Mr.. Flynn is
that the courtyard and driveway at his coun.
try estate was paved with material belonging
to the City of New York and that New York
City labor did the work; and in addition that
he paid the bill only when the transaction
became publicly known. In the view of those
presenting the charge the fact that he was
subsequently cleared of wrong-doing by a
grand jury does not offset the offense.
Mr.. Flynn's friends say that he is a genial
soul, skilled in diplomacy, possessing rare
good judgment Of men and situations, and
that his selection for the post in Australia
is well calculated to draw this country and
that into closer relations at critical period
Of history
1t is up to the Senate Foreign Relations
committee to pass judgment, which it will
do after hearings set to start this week.
The nomination at this time is unfortunate
in one respect. There is new Congress
starting out upon session which can eithel
