A French botanist, in the course of his explorations a few weeks ago in | the sandy plains of the French Congo, discovered a plant the bark of which contained a large quantity of fibrous rubbe At the time scarcely any at- tent was paid to the discovery, but ing to the scarcity of rubber and | high commercial value, which is REAL ESTATE - TRA o its in reality so. prohibitive as to prevent e a very wide employment of the sub- . o of Moward stance, attempts are being made in > by SE 8 3 : England to turn the new discovery to commercial use.

A sample of the plant has been analyzed by the botanical authori- jes of Kew Gardens, London, and these investigations show that the rubber ex- the roote in sufficiently large quantities to warrant development. The name of the plant is Londolphia thrallonii. It is to be found in many | 286; § £ places on the west coast of Africa. One firm which is already engaged in the manufacture of this rubber is plac- | ing it upen the market at 75 cents a ! nd, and it is in every respect equal ) the ordinary rubber. Indiarubber has become such an in- dispensable material in the arts and sciences that users will be glad to learn that a fresh source of supply is said to have been found in the white man- grove tree, which grows plentifully in the swampy lands along the coast of ntral Queensland. The sap is ob- | ned by making incisions in the bark of the tree and allowing it to run into | tins. Some samples of the rubber thus obtained are said to have brought $1 a pound in England.

Among the San Juan's passengers was Brigadier General Willlam H. Forwood, U. S. A., retired. General Forwood came from New York and is traveling for pleasure. He says the health of the United States marines stationed on the isthmus is splendid. Their camps have been pitched on ele- vations and the amount of sickness is no greater than would be found among a similar number of men in barracks in any part of the United States. Pan- ama, however, in the opinion of the general, is a most unhealthy port. He says that the native soldiers obtained their drinking water from a hole in the ground dug in the center of a horse corral. The San Juan brought 1100 tons of cargo and treasure valued at $79,89.

Contrary to expectation, the loans were decreased by $2,519,100. Falling off in loans was attributable to the light demands for stock exchange purposes owing to the small volume of specu- The cash decreased by $837,500, which sum very closely corresponded with the amount of §758,- 500 loss which was estimated from the traceable movements of money during the weck. Deposits decreased $3,324.- 900, or only $32,000 less than the sum of the reductions in loans and of the loss of cash. The statement therefore showed a remarkably good balance. The item of Government deposits was increased $397,800 during the week, probably representing accumulations through transfers to this city from in- terior depositories. The increase in such ' deposits since February 6 has been $2,841,700. Circulation was reduc- ed last week by $1,206,900, making $6,962,800 since January 2. The cash reserve of the banks will probably be augmented this week by the transfer hither of $3,000,000, the proceeds of the 6,000,000 yen which is expected to ar- rive in San Francisco during the week. Comparisons of changes in loans show that four of the larger banks decreased this item by $2,400,000. ———— Authorship in America. ‘We should like to call the attention of home market clubs and infant industry nurseries to the condition of the au- thonship business in the United States.

Dispatch 'to The Call. LOS ANGELES, March 12.—Before the eyes of hundreds of pleasure seek- ers on the pler at Ocean Park, South Santa Monica, this afterncon Mrs. M. | Daley of Denver threw herself into the | ocean, intending to commit suicide. She | was rescued by the heroic action of two | men who swam through the breakers and caught her by the hair. The woman is said to be a member of | !a wealthy Denver family. She came here for her health two months ago and took a cottage at Ocean Park. The change of climate did not benefit her and of late she had been growing mel- ancholy. This 'afternoon she went to the extreme end of the pleasure wharf and after kneeling in prayer sprang over the railing into the ocean. Scores of persons on the pier and beach saw her jump and they gave the alarm. Among them were Charles Tur- ner and Tom Brown. Both sprang into the surf and swam to the rescue. The | skirts of the woman, spreading out, held her up, and when the rescuers reached her they found her floating on the surface of the water, but uncon- scious. Together tHey brought her to the shore, where efforts were made to | restore animation. The limp body was rolled over a barrel and other methods ! were resorted to. To-night, as a resul of cold and shock, pneumonia devel oped and the condition of the woman is critical. | ——————————— i Seif-Sacrifice. i “John,” sald the wife, “you used to say that you would die for me.

Much of George Washington’s firm strength of character was due to his splendid ancestry, as the following an- ecdote will testify. ‘While reconnoitering in Westmore- land County, Va., one of General ‘Washington's officers chanced upon a fine team of horses driven before a plow by a burly slave. Finer animals he had never seen. When his eyes had feasted on their beauty he cried to the driver: “Hello, good fellow! I must have those horses. They are just such ani- mals as I have been looking for.” The black man grinned, rolled up the whites of his eyes put the lash to the horses’ flanks and turned up another furrow in the rich soil. The officer waited until he had finished the row; then, throwing back his cavalier cloak, the ensign of rank dazzled the slave's eyes. Better see missis! Better see mis- sis!" he cried, waving his hand to the south, where above the cedar growth rose the towers of a fife old Virginia The officer turned - up the carriage road and soon was rapping the great brass knocker of the front door. Quick the door swung upon its ponder- | ous hinges and a grave, majestlc look- ing woman confronted the visitor with an air of inquiry. “Madame,” sald the officer, doffing ' his cap and overcome by her dignity, “I have come to claim your horses in | the name of the Government.” “My horses?” said she, bending upon him a pair of eyes born to command. “‘Sir, you cannot have them. My crops arelout and I need my horses in the field.” ’ “I am sorry,” said the officer, “but I must have them, madame. Such are the orders of my chief.” “Your chief? Who is your chief, pray?” she demanded with restrained warmth. “The commander of the American army, General George Washington,” replied the other, squaring his shoul- El:lers and swelling with pride. A smile of trilumph softened the sternness of the woman's handsome features. “Tell George Washington,” said she, “that his mother says he cannot have her horses.” With an humble apology, the officer turned away, convinced that he had | found the source of his chief’s decision | and self-command. And did Washington order his officer to return and make his mother give up her horses? No; he listened to the re- port in silence; then, with one of his rare smiles, he bowed his head.—St. Nicholas. —_—— BIG ORDER SENT FOR EXPOSITION STAMPS Description of the New Issue—Direc- tions Given to Bureau of Engrav- ing and Printing. An order has been sent to the Bu- reau of Engraving and Printing from the office of the Third Assistant Post- master General for the first issue the new Louisiana Purchase Expos‘j tion postage stamps, which are to be placed on sale throughout the country May 1. These stamps are printed with pink ink in denominations of 1 cent, 2 cent, 3 cent, 5 cent and 10 cent, and each bears a different engraving. In the order given the stamps bear por- traits of Pobert R. Livingston, THomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Willlam Me- Kinley and a map of the United States showing the territory acquired by the Louisiana purchase. There have been ordered 90,000,000 of the l-cent stamps, 225,000,000 of the 2-cent 7,500,000 of the 3-cent, 9,500,000 of the 5-cent and 6,500, 00) of the 10-cent. As soon as the Bu- reau of Engraving and Printing can , print them they will be forwarded to the different distributing centers of the postal service, and from there sent to all of the offices of the country as they are calied for by the Postmasters. The sale of these stamps will continue while the exposition at Ct. Louls is open. Livingston’s portrait was placed on the 1-cent stamp because he was the United States Mir ster to" France at ' the time of the transfer of the property and conducted the negotiations. | Thomas Jefferson was the President of the United States at the time, and James Monroe was special Embassador to France, emapowered to conclude the purchase. McKinley's face appears on the 5- cent stamp because he was President | at the time the legisiation was enacted that connected the Government with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition and signed the act in his official capacity, and the significance of the map show- ing the territory is self-evident. It is not generally known that a spe- cial issue of postage stamps is a fine investment for the Government, though there is no activity displayed to se- cure the issue. The profit comes from the fact that philatelists buy as many of the new issue as they can carry and hold them for the certain rise that is sure to come when the issue s ex- hausted. These stcmps gre therefors not used, and the Government having sold them at their face value profits accordingly, the oaly cost being the value of the paper, the glue, the print- ing and the ink, a mere nominal cost when compared with the sum for which they are sold. Many thousands of dol- lars were made by the Government during the run of the Pan-American stamps, and there is no reason to sup- pose that a similar condition will not occur when the St. Louis Exposition stamps are put on sale.—Washington Star: —_———————— Discovered Source of Life. “] have discovered the source of life!™ The new professor, who had only been drawiug a salary for three days in the great university, flourished in his hand a quart bottle of protoplasm as he spoke, standing upon the thres- hold of the president’s office.
