rubber a year.

The procedure is as follows:-Aran takes his canos up one of the streams, chooses a Bikely spot, builds himself a hut and then proceeds to cut a way through the jungle, usually about a mile long. This pathway discloses the existence of about 150 to 200 forest-grown rubber trees. Each morning the cellostor goes out with his knife and his little tim cups, ente the tree aud sticks the cup on. Having captiod the cups into a bucket, he carries the latex back to his hut. Then he makes a fire of a special kind of mut which he picks in the jungle, stigke a large polo into the bucket of later and slowly revolves the polo over the smoke of the firo until the latex coagulates and forms a thin sheet of rabber round the stick. Ho keeps on doing this from day to day until the rubber round the pole has formed a ball weighing about 40 pounds. Ho then cuts the polo away from the rubber and pats the ball in his hut. He keeps on doing this day by day, week after wook. Sometimes he twy wife and some piccauiunies who help him to pick the nuts, to make the fire and revolve the rubber ball over the smoke. When he feels lazy be lies in the shade and smokea. He is absolutely his own master, and there may not be another collector within five miles,

Once your some great merchant house in Para or Munson fills a steamer with carna seca, farina, bad brandy, banjos and all the other useless things so dear to the heart of a half- caste. The steamer goes up the Amazon and calls at the different hats, exchanging brandy, beef, and flour for rubber. In many instances the collector has been sent up the river at the expense of one of the merchant hanses. In this case he is bound to the house by an agreement, and compelled to all them the rabbar at a price fired by the market rate of fine hard-oured Para then ruling The collector is almost always heavily in debt to the merchant house, which however, is absolutely at his mercy. They are compelled to supply him with food, otherwise he would die, and they would get no rubber, Some years he has fever and he is too ill to tap, than the merchant gets very little rubber for the goods he supplies. In healthy spasons the marchant gets a big crop. The man cannot tap all the year round, as in many places the trees are flooded for three months in a year. A mere miserable existence eon, hardly be conseived than this solitude in a tropical jungle on the banks of a fever-stricken, stream. There is no hope for the collector except he work very hard, and sell a portion of his rubber for cash to pira tical craft that are always prowling about to steal rabber. It is a wild life and a short one,

I commend this short statement of the factsto Sir Frank Swottenham and ethers who are per petually declaring that Brazilian rubber costs 3- pound. No one can possibly say what the price of wild rubbor is. The profit deponds entirely on the care with which the merchant house manages its business, and the judgment with which it chooses its mon. One 5em will make a fortune whilst another will lose it; one firm will lond money on estradas far beyond their value whilst another will have very fow mortgages on its books. The mortgages are practically irrecoverable, so they may really be taken as payments va account of goodwill. 1 have been through the books of a good many marchant houses, and as far as I can see, the fiest hard-cured Fara costs, net, about 1/6 a pound. The idon that the plantatious of the Middle East can ever destroy the Brazilian rubber industry is fantastis the last degree. Those who talk each stuff do not know Brazil. or the conditions under which the industry is there carried on, neither car they be aware of

WEATHER REPORT,

The Hongkong Observatory yesterday issued the following report:→→

On the 27th at 12.10 p.m.-The barometer has risen moderately in Japan, and fallon con-

siderably over Central China.

A depression appears to be developing over the Yangtze valley.

"I won't take a bid of less than £50," the West End auctioneer says sometimes, gloating over an old master, but the rubber austioneer in the City takes a farthing advance with solemn satisfaction.

** Ten and elevenpezce," he mutters, and thon, as an eyelid quivers in a corner of the room, he adds, "farthing."

*Ha'penny," he says cheerlessly, as a man at the back lifts the top half of his right foreinger from his fountain-pen.

-Threo," says a man in the second row in a very low voice, apparently addressing his boots. the auctioneer in his monotone, and then the Ton and eleve.pence three-farthings," says aforesaid eyelid quivera syait in the corner, and the man at the desk stolidly says,

"Elevon shillings."

The only sign of the eagerness of the buyers is the frequency with which two claim the same lot, and there is now and then a laugh when the auctioneer says which bid he took.

One unnanal incident marked yesterday's sales. A prosperons-locking merchant, with a bunch of violets in his button-hele, atoad forward at th point at which in the catalogue a lotenoted

Saying that he spoke on behalf of several wall known persons in the City, he asked the auctioneer whether he would withdraw the

He added, breezily, "If you don't withdraw it, we shall ses a letter in to-morrow's Daily,

saying,Come at Last.""

A shout of laughter greeted this reference to the hitherto vain, search for a real rubber

The auctioneer again said quickly that he would strike the substitute" out, and, to the evident satisfaction of the buyers, he passed to the next let,

Chicago, delivering an address at the local Press Club, and allowing himself to be interviewed by almost every newspaper man who calls. To-day he coined a new word, Daddyism," and it has heen telegraphed all over the American Con tinnit

Mr. Carnegie said that he had nothing but contempt for the social customs under which a son lives on his father's laurels. Then he de- ivered an astute compliment to the city, by admitting that Armour, Swift, and Morris were the thres foremost names in Chicago, and thore isn't a black sheep among any of the sons." He mded:
