Women Who Watch For Celebrities In I New York Restaurant. “1 always wonder.” said a New York woman who lunches out a good deal, “what satisfaction the women get out of life who flock to a certain fashion- able uptown restaurant at lunchtime just to see celebrities. In this connection we print an in- teresting picture dealing with rubber gathering in the Congo. Among the most industrious pe0ple in that vast and wild region are the Batetela. In gathering rubber they go into the forests inhabited by the Baukutu, who are a head-hunting people. 'While the men are in the forests, the provisory camp is guarded by a man who sur- veys the surroundings from a plat- form and a drummer. When the Bau- kutu are seen to approach the drum- mer beats the alarm and the men re. turn to the camp to fight. The wea- pons used are spears and shields, or bows and arrows. The gathering of rubber in the Congo to satisfy the commercial greed of civilized man has been marked by many tragedies. During recent years an enormous amount of rubber planting has been going on and savage wildernesses in Asia, Africa and America have been ransacked for rubber trees. It was the increased demand for rubber that led to so many of the Congo atrocities under the administration of the late King Leopold of Belgium. Brazil is now supplying a good share of the world’s supply, with the result that in the wild scramble for the product its forest are being drained. Ceylon, Java, Borneo, New Guinea, Burma, the Malay peninsulaâ€"all are planting rubber trees on an extensive scale. The real commercial value of rub- ber on a large scale began with the discovery of the vulvanizing process. which permitted the making of a homogeneous joint between two pieces. At that time half a million dollars would have covered the value of the world’s output. At present $80,000,000 would scarcely buy a year’s output, while the total weight of the crude rubber as drawn from the tree reaches 70,000 tons. The Supply Is Entirely Insufficient and Prices Are Soaring. There is a great scarcity of rubber in the industrial world. More rubber is produced now than at any other time in history, but the varied de‘ mands for it are so great that the sup- ply falls short of meeting them and prices have rapidly advanced. Eng- land is rubber mad and Speculation there is almost as great and wild as in the days of the South Sea bubble of infamous memory.

Another teacher in the physiology class asked the class in general which was the most curious bone in the human body. “Please, ma’am,” was the quick reply from a little girl, “it’s the wishbone.” One teacher explained to the class in a. lower room that an island was “a body entirely surrounded by wat- er.” Then she asked one of the little fellows in the class, “Now, Willie, what is an island?” “It’s a person in a bathtub, teacher.” said the con- fident Willie.

The island was inhabited by large numbers of rabbits and could be reached at low tide by wading. the water then being only a few inches deep. One morning they went in their boat quite early, it being high tide. and on landing saw what seemed to be a dead i'ox lying on the beach. The fur of the animal was all bedraggied. and he seemed to have been drowned. One of the men, remarking that his 1 skin was worth something, pitched 1him into the boat. Procuring their bait, they returned to the mainland. and then the man who had possessed himself of the fox seized him by the tail and flung him on shore. As soon as the animal struck the beach he picked himself up with considerable agility for a dead fox and shot off like a flash along the cliirs, while the men stood staring at one another in mute astonishment. The men concluded that he had crossed over to the island during the night when the tide was low in search of rabbits and, finding in the morning that he was cut of! tom the mainland, counterfeited death, with the expectation of thereby procuring a passage to the shore in the The Tale of a Fox From the West Coast of Ireland. It has often been said that the fox is the most cunning of all animals. but the following story of vulpine sagacity seems to require some cre- dence.
