Government Stops Felling of
I the Trees in Philippines.
NATIVES ARE" PRODIGAL
Realising tha Vast Treasure They
Possess In This Great Article of
Commerce They are Sacrificing
the Source of 8upply Because of ;
Laiinees.
The commercial history of gutts
ftwroha runs parallel with that of nub- i
serine and subterranean eloctrlc 1
cables, for three-fourths of all the
fitta percha produced has been used '
a thorn. With the construction of the '
Croat transatlantic cables In the six- 1
ties and seventies, the demand for
gptta percha became enormous. When
the Malay Peninsula, adjacent to Sing
fcpare, failed to supply sufficient quan
title to meet the demand, the adja
cent Islands of the Rhlo Archipelago,
mod Sumatra were Invaded and rich
finds made. Finally Borneo was In
clad ed In the producing zone and last
ly the Philippines.
In the Philippines the regions which
froduce ffutt percha for market are
confined to the Islands of Mindanao
and Tawl-Tawl.
The best method of collecting gutta
percha is a difficult one to determine
The trees are In the tropical forest
regions, which are Inhabited only by
the wildest pagan trltB. These na
tives are the natural gutta percha
collectors, and as a matter of fact,
kave done all the collecting since the
beginning of the Industry. They do
sire to Becure the maximum yield from
och tree with the minimum expendi
ture of work or time.
They first cut down the tree and
the Urgor branches are at once loppel
eiff, the collectors nay, to prevent the
gutta percha milk from flowing back
Into the small branches and leaves.
The milk, or latex, Is contained in the
Inner layers of the bark and leaves, In
email capillary tubes or ducts. To
open these so as to permit the maxi
mum of milk to escape, the natles
eat rings In the bark about two feet
port along the entire length of the
trunk. The milk as it flows out Is
collected .In gourds, cor.oanut shells
or on large leaves.
As soon as the Forestry Unreau was
established In 1889, the felling of the
gutta percha trees was prohibited and
Tules were provided for tapping the
tree with a bolo In such a manner as
to secure the milk without destroying
the tree, but the wild natives never
practiced this method, nor did they
ver hear of It, and all the gutta
percha so far exported has been at
the expense of so many trees killed.
Islands such as Mindanao and Tawl
,Tawl cannot stand thla for any length
of time, and already the gutta percha
trees have entirely disappeared from
the vicinity of the coast regions and
of the large rivers.
Most of the Philippine gutta percha
-passes through three hands and rlBe
la price Is quick and decided. The
mtive collector receives about $10,
Mexican, for a ploul of 162 pounds.
This Is carried by the trader to export
towns and sold to the Chinese at $40
to $80, Mexican, per plcul of
pounds, and the same Is worth at
Singapore about $150.

THE GEISHA GIRL.
Boll of Japan th Least UndersVd
Institution of Mlkado'a Empire.
Tone Noguchi, a Japanese writer,
ays In part In th Theater Magazlno:
The Qtba girl Is, perhaps, the most
Interesting and the least understood
abroad of all the national Institution
of tho Mikado . Empire. Nowhere In
tho world Is there a woman exactly ,
Ilk her. She Is not a more waitress
or attendant, as many writers have
described her nor Is she a common
dancer, entertainer or musician.
Sh Is far mora than this. From
her early childhood she Is trained to
be the companion of cultured persons.
Sh Is educated, accomplished, Intel
lectual and refined, as well aa beauti
ful and graceful. In her every step,
gesture, expression. In th very cos
tumes she wears, so elegant and har
monious In color, there Is the faclna
tlon and living grace of the trained
actress taught for generations to
delight tho senses.
The Oelsha girl Is the belle of Japan,
and without her Japanese social gath
erings would loose much of their vi
vacity and charm. But although the
Oelsha Is so cultivated and accom
plished, It cannot bo said that she
Is quite respectable according to the
conventional standards. She has, In
deed, a moral code of her own
She ,
belongs to a clans which has no equiv
alent In any other country. The only
approach In history Is that of the
Hetaera women, who existed In tho
day of ancient Greece.
Mr. Noguchi gives a description of
the tea houses to which the Geishas i
are attached; then he continues
The Geishas make their appearance j
with their habitual air of amiability. .
grave and vivacity. Each as she on- !
tors utters the word "Konbanwa." .
which means good evening. She then
proceeds to make herKclf at home,
and is soon as intimate as if she had
known you since childhood. All the I
ueisnas sit berore you wnne you
smoke, each taking a samlsen (or
guitar) in her hands beautiful hands.
like the bands of a waxen doll. Then
each bows to you politely, thanking
you for your kind summons. You
jourteously reply by empting your cup
of Shake (Japanese brand), which
you plunge Into a bowl of clean water
on the tray, and then you present tiio
cup to the Geisha whom you n:o.-,t r.l
mire, saying as you do so: "I; pa'
agemasu" (I present the cup to V',;;1.
The favored Geisha receives your c :;
In her very graceful manner, and u
her dainty hands lifts it to her f.i.r
find, thanking you for your kind lovi
The attendant, standing by, 1mm
dlately fills It with Sake. The Geisha
sips a little of the Sake, then returns
the cup to you with the words, "Gohen
pal" (I am honored to return you the
cup), which you receive back with
marks of the greatest appreciation.
While this exchange of cup courtesies
is going on, one of the other Geishas
lifts her samlsen to her knee and
plays a molody, accompanlng it with
a love song which is delightful to the
ear.
Wfien you are tired of the song you
may ask for dancing. Now, the danc
ing of the Geisha girl has nothing In
common with th vulgar skirt danc
ing so popular ln Europe and America.
In Japan such an exhibition would be
considered a barbaric vulgarity. The
Geisha's dance consists mostly of a
rhythmic, graceful movement, es
pecially with tho arms, and Is so con
trived and performed that it sugROsts
the most beautiful poetic ideas. It Is
at times dramatic. Poems or dramas
relating to history or legend ere often
recited by the Geishas, who express ln
striking or graceful attitudes the
tragic or comic situations. From the
viewpoint of true art this excels any
known dancing. At your request tho
younger Geishas then proceed to tho
more dainty dancing, while the older
Geishas sit in the background, and
play their samisens and sing poetic lit
tle songs. The younger Geishas, in
their scarlet petticoats and flowing
sleeves , fan . and parasol in their
hands, Imitate the butterflies flitting
from flower to flower, or the maple
trees scattered by the autumn
wind. Sometimes fast, sometimes
slow, now backward, now foreward,
fron right to left, now merrily, now
sadly the dancing girls glide over
the soft matting, waving their flowing
sleeves. When dancing the Geisha
looks lovelier than the white Hlly,
more graceful than the hanging blos
soms blown sdoui in mo ureezo ui
spring. She is the living Incarnation
of th picturesque charm of all Japan.
Th Tn Dwarf.
"Well, Jane, how Is it your house
looks so clean today?" inquired Will
Campbell, who was a friend of Jane's
snd lived acroHS te street.
"Oh, Its quite easy. Will, so long S3
I have my ten little dwarfs to help
me."
VAnd what do you mean by your
ten little dwarfs, Jane?"
"Well, I guess I will have to tell
you. When I was born I had ten
dwarfs given to me. These dwarfs
always dbey me. They help me ln my
sewing, help me ln folding the linens,
and they help som other people, too."
"They are not all tho samu hi?, sumo
of" them wear rings. I am sure you
would not Ilk to lose any of them.
All of the ten go to work together, nnd
do all I want In the way of help."
"Oh, I have found you out," said
Will, "I know now who your dwarfs
are. They ars your ten fingers and
they are very good servants." Mary

Iron Mill opened. Industrial
Prosperity Make th Demand for
The Imperative. Work Pro
vided for Thousand.
Thirty new railroads are now under
construction !n the southern states.
Reports from different localities with
in the past few days Indicate that
with rare exceptions all of the south
ern railroads now butldlug are being
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible. This condition of affairs Is
regarded by southern business men
as abundant proof of the industrial
prosperity of the south. Nearly $100,
000,000 Is being put Into these thirty
new railroads, and the greater part
of this vast sum was obtained prior
to the business depression of the past
few months.
It is estimated that botween 9.000
an,i 10,000 miles of new railroad will
I be completed In the south.
Construction work on nearly all of
these southern railway projects Is be
. lng hastened In the expectation of a
heavy Increase In traffic next fall.
While the railroad companies through
out the country are cutting down their
working forces as much as possible,
tne new companies in me soutn are
s a rule increasing their construc
tlon forces. Some of the new lines
will tap virgin coal fields, others will
enable one thousand or more recently
established cotton mills to get their
products to market.
England' Ten Roman Soldier.
An Interesting archaeological find
hM ? "ade J'8, Bt ln a fle!d.
near MItcbam, England. A group of
seven skeletons, with spearheads near i
by, was discovered, and close at hand j
three more skeletons In a fairly good
state of preservation were found. The j
skeletons were found about four feet '
below the surface, carefully laid on :
their backs, feet toward the east, In
separate graves made in the gravel. j
They were apparently officers of supe- j
rlor rank, buried with some ceremony :
ln their martial attire and with 'heir '
weapons at their left sides. One skele- j
ton had spurs at the heels, and In the
grave was the blade of a two-ed;id -
Roman broadsword.
Radium to Be Used, for Preserves.
At a recent meeting of the United
States Committee on Pure Food Stan
dards, H. Lleber, an analytical chem
ist, in speaking of food preservatives,
said that within a few years most
forms of preservatives will be aban
doned. In their place, he said, cans
and battles ln which food of various
kinds is put up, will be washed with
water Impregnated with radio-activity,
a process, he says, that will revo
lutionize the present methods.
Mr. Lleber said that, leaving out
certain materials, there was little
harm In the use of coloring matter.
He said he did not believe, however,
in vegetable coloring matter because
of Its quick decomposition.

An Automobile Lit Boat.
Among the new Inventions for life

NORWAY AND SWEDEN.
Equality In Thejr Union Hat Just
Been Adjusted.
In recognizing Norway as an equal
member of the union It appear that
Sweden was merely yielding to neces
sity, and that it was her Intention
subsequently to curtail the liberties!
of Norway and gradually fuse the two
oountrios Into one Swedish nation.
A struggle therefore began which has
lasted for ninety years, and which
has retarded the progress of the two
countries and somewhat estranged
them from one another. But notwith
standing the constant friction the
great work of national regeneration
has proceeded uninterruptedly, and In
regard to Industrial pursuits as well
as mental achievements Norway now
occupies a very creditable position
among the nations of the world.
In their struggle for unabridged po
litical equality with Sweden, the Nor-
" 05CAJ.
Xl kins op
'"M!ty
weglahs have now arrived at the stage
when the question of a separata con
sular service for Norway Is to be de
cided. A revision of the articles of
confederation, or act of union, as it Is
called, was contemplated In the first
lf of the nineteenth century, and
committees were appointed for the
purpose In 1839, 18C4 and last In 1897,
but nothing resulted from their labors.
In 1902. however, the negotiations of
the third so-called union commlttea
of a Swedo-Norwegian consular com
mittee, the result of whose labors
was embodied ln a so-called "com
munique" subsequently published, by
a protocol prepared ln a Joint session
of the cabinets of Norway and Sweden.
This protocol was laid before the
Worthing February 13 of the current
year, and by it submitted to the Com
mittee on Constitutional Affairs. When
reported upon and returned by tne
committee to the storthing a decisive
debate will take place, and a change
of Ministry may be the result, as the
storthing will not ratify terms for
a separate consular service that might
hamper Its future action In regard to
another Important national Issue the
appointment of a separate Foreign
Minister for Norway.
German Soldier's Hard Luck.
A squad of soldiers were drilling
near the line when the kaiser's train
passed. The commanding officer or
dered all to salute as the train passed
by.
Afterward a sergeant overheard a
private remark: "The kaiser might
have let the train slow down so that
we could catch a glimpse of htm."
The private was arrested, tried by
court-martial, found guilty of lese ma
jeBte and sentenced to seven years'
penal servitude after being drummed
out of the army.
The London Spectator, commenting
on this, asks: "Can we wonder that
the internal condition of the German
army is what It Is, though externally
It still looks so strong, efficient and
wall organized." New York Sun.
Th Champion Thieves.
The man who stole a red hot stove
has been outdone. News comes from
a little town ln South Dakota that a
man named Elrud went to bed the
other night only to awake later with
his home 10 miles from his land,
thieves having six horses hitched to
th building and moving It west. The
owner stepped out with two guns and
ordered the volunteer house movers to
return his house to its original foun
dation, whloh they did, apologizing by
saying that they didn't know it was
his home.
A Valuable African Plant
The most valuable aloes come from
the island of Sokotra, which lies JuBt

fibrous, fleshy nature and, ln addltloa
to the Juice, the natives make this
fiber Into rope, many insisting that
It makes a better rope than hemp.

Many Changes in the Game Lawi-
Seatoni Ars Changed In rrtany Caiet and
the Limit ol Cam That Can be
Kilted In On Season
Reduced.
Ponies of the new came protec
tion law, which wasappoved by the
governor on April 22nd, have been
received here. The law makes
wholesale changes in former legis
lation, and hunters will have to
study it carefully before venturing
into the woods again. Hereafter it
will be unlawful to kill more inau
one deer in a season, and the season
is cut down from a month to fifteen
days from the middle of November
to the first of December. It is un
lawful to kill wild pigeons for the
tipxt ten Years. Bears have been
always on the list of game that
could be killed any time, but now
they are protected, and can be shot
only during the period between
October 1st and March 1st, and
anyone violating the provisions of
the law is liable to a fine of $50 for
every bear or cub killed or captured.
The only exception is where the bear
is in the act of damaging crops or
irjuring a human being, or has
recently done so.
About the only thing left on the
free list are the following, which are
specifically mentioned: The blue
Jay, Knglish sparrow, king-fisher,
coopers, hawk, sharp shinned
hawk, goshawk, duck hawk, pigeon
hawk, great horned owl, and the
rrnw. Peode who want to rob
birds' nests for scientific purposes
. , r .
must get a license to ao so irom
state game commission and put up
a bond that they will abide by the
provisions of the act. A fine of $25
is provided for each and every wild
pigeon killed during the ten years
in which they are not to be kill
ed The new law provides that in
any case whete dogs shall be taken
into the woods with a huntine party.
and it shall be found that they have
as much as followed toe tracks 01 a
deer for a distance of 100 yards, it
shall make the owner or person who
took the doe into the woods liable
for a fine. This will do away with
the practice of taking a dog to hunt
hirrls with a deer huntine Party.
The new law also prohibits the
KlUlUg VI UCCI Willi uillK- juui v
anything else than a single bullet.
It is unlawtul to snoot quau ni
any time when they are bunched
on the around. Oulv one wild
o
turkey can be killed in a day, and
not more than lour in a season, it is
unlawful lor a person to hunt ducks
or other water lowl proiectea oy
any craft propelled by any other
means than oars, pole, or hand
paddles.
The open season for game under
the new law is changed. The
season for woodcock, pheasant,
email, sauirrel. rabbit, and wild
turkey closes December 1st instead
of December 15th. woodcock and
squirrel come in on uctoDer 1 si ana
quail on November ist, instead of
October 15th.
