KXT to copper and Iron , ruhhor Is the most im portant material In the elec trical ludUHtry. It Is uned extensively a an Insulat ing material , being one of the best InsuhitorH of electricity in the world. Nearly all the wires that carry elec trical current are protected with rub ber Insulation. Uubbcr prevents the electricity escaping through contact of the wire with other conductors ; It prevents accidents , Ihou , and keeps thr- electrical apparatun from burn- lii.r | out and dcHttoylng Itself. Hesldes being need for insulating wires and cables at the plants of the CSenernl Mleclrical Company , rubber is used In the manufacture of motors , switches , generators , and nearly all electrical machine ; ! . The story of rubber Is the story of the conquest of the tropical jungles ; the lights against dlfacasc , poisonous reptiles and Insects , man-eating ani mals , hunger and thirst and the dan ger of being lost foiever. Clvlll/ntion Jhst heard of rubber in lion OKI'S account of the second voy age of Columbus lu the year 119U , wheie he speaks of elastic halls made by the natives from the gum of a tree. The first authentic account of Its practical use was recorded In 1745 by the leader of a French government expedition leturning Irom South America , who reported that the na tives secured from the juice , of a tree certain gum which was very elastic , Impervious to water and used In mak ing bottles , shoes nnd smjlrt guns. Thirty yearu later It was Introduced to commerce when an Englishman brought from Assam , India , a soft , spongy substance which would erase lepd pencil marks and which after wards became known as India rubber. Many pilmltlve uses \\ere found for this wonderful gum , but owing tc Its susceptibility to changes of tcui' poraturo , which rendered It sticky and moro or less fluid , rubber did not come into its own until early in the last century. At that tlmo It was discov ered , after a great deal of experi ment , that by mixing sulphur I with -rude rubber and subjecting It to a ilgh degree of heat , these former de- Iclencles were eliminated and n mate rial was produced which was both tough and elastic , and would retain those properties under varying torn- iiernturoc. This process of curing was called vulcanization nnd Is the basis of rubber making to-day. So great has been the development of rubber manufacture since the time that Its products now exceed a value of $500,000,000 annually. Contrary to the popular Impression , rubber gum Is not derived from the sap. It Is secured from a milky juice or latex which la found only In the bark. Thin latex contains a substance cnowu as caoutchouc ( the active prin ciple of rubber ) , together with cer tain albuminoids , resins , etc. , which upon the evaporation of moisture coagulate , forming n thick , spongy substance. The percentage of caout chouc , In proportion to other Ingredi ents contained In the later , deter mines the quality of the rubber. The regions from which rubber gum Is secured form an Irregular belt In the tropics and sub-tropics extend ing around the earth , the quality pro cured varying greatly according to the species of plant , the soil and the cli mate. Great quantities are produsp/J In Africa , Mexico , Ceylon nnd the Malay Islands , but the most desirable rubber of resiliency and wear resist ance Is secured from n tree found In the Amazon river district , South America. This rubber is known ns Para , the name being derived from Its chief city of export. It not only con tains as high ns 95 per cent , of caout chouc , hut the methods used by the natives In preparing It for market are BO much superior that It Is selected In preference to all others for manu facturing purposes. Rubber gathering In the Amazon river district la a hazardous and diffi cult undertaking The supply co nes from wild trees scattered throughout dense forests , to which paths must bo cut through the tangled and luxuriant undergiowth. Even then the trees can only be reached during three to flvo months of the year , ns throughout the wet season the forests are completely Inundated. The cllmato Is so un healthy that white men cannot do this and It Is necessary to rely unon the native blacks , who at boat are umlepemlable and lazy. Their reluct ance to join rubber gathering expedi tions can readily he understood when It IH remembered that out of a sea son's expedition perhaps only half will return alive. When n rubber tree Is found the na tive gatherer cuts a series of gashes Into the bark with his machete , en- eliding thu tree from the ground up , as high as he can reach. Cups are fastened to cateh the latex as It oozes out. When a milllclont quantity Is collected It Is lemoved to the tem porary hut , where a dense smoke-pro ducing Hro is made of certain nuts and palm leaves. Then taking his wooden puddle the native dips It Into the latex and holds It over the lire , tinning it lound and round until , the latex coagulates As soon as It Is bird a new layer of latex Is added and coagulates 'as ' before. This pro cess Is continued until the mass has grown too large for handling , when the paddle is taken out and the rubber set aside for export. The process of coagulation and fumigation with these specially selected nuts and leaves pre vents decay and adds to the life and wear resistance of the manufactured product Tapping the trees for rubber does not necessarily destroy them , nor Is It believed to materially shorten their life ; but unfortunately many thou sands of trees are annually rendered useless by careless and Improper methods. Although the source of crude rubber gum is ptactlcally Inex haustible , the limited native labor supply and the difficulties encountered up to the tlmo of marketing It have tended to keep down the supply and maintain a high standard of prices. NIGHTLY SONG OF SOLDIERS Traveler Recounts Quaint and TouchIng - Ing Scene He Witnessed In Brazilian City. A few years ago 1 saw at the little garrison of the quaint old city of Maranham , Uruzil , the sweet' and touching ceremony of putting the sol diers to bod. No doubt this , like so many other customs of the ancient days of Spanish rule that made the Latin dominance unique , must soon give way before the attacks of a more "practical" century. Maranham , It may be added , Is one of the oldest ports on the American continents. Situated Home 300 miles south of the mouth of the Amazon river , It has no connection with the rest of the world save through sea-going vessels. A century ago Its trade employed more than 100 such each year , but through changed conditions the number has now fallen from four to ten per an num. Of a present population of about 30,000 , many are wealthy nnd highly educated. The barracks , whore about 100 sol diers are quartered , are In the sub urbs , and occupy a largo Held which Is used for their drill grounds. Every night at nine the soldiers are drawn up lu line as for dress pat ado. After a few evolutions , they stack arms , return to their Hues , remove their lints , kneel , and , with bowed heads , slug In the thrilling tenor of the Span ish race , the sweet old hymn , begin ning "Quurda , Deus guarda. " Throngs gather to listen , and many kneel and Join them ; every head Is uncovered and bowed until the close , when rifles are resumed , nnd the sol diers file to quarters. As 1 went homeward with the hushed company who had absombled to listen nnd participate , I thought , "Whore else can one listen to such a tribute to the 'King of Kings , ' nightly , In a garrison of soldiers ?

NEW MILKING MACHINE Simple Contrivance that Is Within Reach of Even Small est Dairy Farmer and Easily Put Into Place. ( By Ernest Hoollett. ) While In Sweden some tlmo since , 1 heard much of a now milking ma chine that was to bo within the reach of even the Binallest dairy farmer as leKtuds cost and easy method of In stallment on any farm. I had , how ever , to lenvo Sweden without being able to sec the machine. During the past f < nv weeks , my wife , being , again In Sweden , was , through the courtesy of Mr. Krykburg. director of the manu factory where the milking machine was built , allowed to see It at work. The machine IB very simply built ; 'there Is not the necessity to lay down plant to supply the motive power , as this la done entirely by hand , a. great saving In pilmtiry Installment ; In fact tills has been reduced to a mini mum of expense. The milking machine ( proper Is suspended by means of two , hroad straps , one just behind the ( shoulder over the loin of the cow. 'There la the usual "vacuum vessel for i ! l { The New Swedish Milking Machine. holding the milk All this was very easy. Detachment-suction , or rather in this case , the result , Is obtained by compression , the teat being inserted in a cup-like receptacle , one side of which actuated by a piston allows the teat to till , and then presses it much after the method of the human jingcrs All four teats are milked simultaneously , or the valves can be shut off to allow of milk ing cows that have lost one or more quarters. It Is particularly clean In Its stripping action. The power re quired la about one-thirtieth horse- ijr n man iii 11 lieient energy The milking machine la essentially it modern contrivance. Something of the kind seems to have been Invented in America In about J81U , hut no de scription of it is extant that we know This refacrvoir is 100 feet high and 87Vi feet In diameter and will hold 3,100 tons of water , nn equivalent to HO aero Inches of rainfall , An aver age rainfall of 13 % Inches during the growing season would till to the point indicated. A rainfall of nine inches , it completely utilized , would produce n of. About the middle of last century several machines were constructed to milk cows , but they do not appear to have met with much success , and wore neglected and forgotten. Many dairy farmers , however , hankered after a mechanical device of this kind , and experimentation went on for many years. Most of those engaged In it had as their root Idea n milk tube Inserted Into the te.ats of the cow , and a mlllter of this kln.l was placed on the market in 1878. This milker consisted of n tube having openings along Its sides , through which the milk entered. Each teat was Ilttcd with a tube , and the tubes were kept together by a flexible band. There IB no need for describing It in detail , because , although milk could be extracted by Its means , It was not a really practical invention. The next step was the invention of pres sure machines , of which tljo llrst came from America about 1878 , and was fol lowed between 1885 and 1895 by sev eral other devices constructed upon a similar principle. The next idea was that of suction. The first suction ma chine came from America ; but it was in Scotland that this device was most carefully developed. Patent Fire Lighter.

Because your case is a difficult one , doctors having done you no good , do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills , such as inflammation - flammation , ulceration , displacements , libroid tumors , irregularities , periodic pains , backache , that bearing-down feeling , indigestion , dizziness , and ner vous prostration. It costs but a trifle to try it , and the result is worth mil lions to many suffering women.
