A CHAT WITH CAPTAIN SCOTT":

Mr. F. Copeman, of Messrs Maclaren and Sons, menager of the India, Rubber Journal, With only one week remaining before he and director of some eighteen rubber com Scott reamed to-day to London from Hull, sails on bis voyage to the South Pole, Captain panies, his, as already announced, arrived in Ceylon nitera trar lo the Federated Malay where he had been completing his 'fiel ar Stator, Jera and Sumitra and after a visit togements, says the Pall Mall Garnits of 24th'

Speaking to Cryim Observer representa. tive, he said that he had visited several of the big properties in the King district, in Malacca, in Perak, and in Province Wellesley. He had spent five or six weeks in Java, golog right through the island and seeing all the best rubber osiates, and in Sumatra he had been to nestly allia best.

TAPPING,

لنا

In regard to tapping he had found that a very cumpion form everywhere now was the ball barring bone and the basal Vson trees of small girth, On somis estates, especially pa tive-owned properly in the F.MS, they were rapping, trees of too small's girth, Oa ona mative estate he saw tres ton lacher in gista being tapped with a bisal V three feet from the ground. there was very little tapping in Java. Tapping on aajiking like an extensive icale had not been dous yet, but it might be expected at the end of this your. The growth. there was slow although the soil of the moun kuins of [ava'was superior to the soil of the hills of Ceylon. Some of the nest soil in the world was on the slopes of the Yang Mountains in Java. Tacze trees jour years old were being tapped at sa alutide of about 1,200 (tot. in Sumatra tipping was more carefully done than in any of the countries be had visited. The ball and dull berring bisa systems were used and there were very fias yjatės,

GENERAL CULLIVATION.

Naturally there is so little time to spare now and the explorer fads ovary moment occupied, for the correspondence and inquiries that comp to the offices of the British Antartic Expedition in Victoria street are really enormous,

Captain Scott told a "Pall Mall, Gaibile representative to-day that he had chosen all his crew, and with one or two exceptions they were

now down with the boat, the Terra Nova," at Wat ladis Docka-

-Aiked whether he had obtained all the money that was necessary for his expedition, Captain Scott stated that so far as he had been able to asconain they were only two or thras thousand pounds short of the £40,000 DICCÈS. ary, but he had not yet been able to aportala what the provincial subscriptions amoudied to. 10 any caso, added the explorer, "I do" "not" imaging there will be math of a deficit?!

SCHOOLBOYS' SLEDGES.

The schoolboys have boso subscribing to defray the cost of sledges, giving them, by the way all sorts of weird names, and Captain „Scott was able to make the gratifying announce- me that there will be at least fifty of those ledges in the transport. equipment that is be ing taken by the Terra Nava.

They have beep tried over the soft anowi of Norway, quite satisfied all the expectations that were entertained in regard to them, and it is certain that they will be able to stand the lowest iemperatures. On

the glacier ice they should be able to make

progress at the rate of zen or fifteen' miles a day, and thould therefore relieve, to a large ex- tent, the strain on the dogs:
