The manufacture of rubber from a weed which grows on the mountains and plains of the Intermountain country bids fair to become an Important Industry within a few year a The story of the rubber weed has been pub llshed In one form or snother within the past few years but now the point has been reached where the commercial value of the discovery Is assured. In fact a plant for the manufacture of rubber from the plant Is now In operation In Denver and is described in a recent issue of the Post as follows: In the rear of street there Is a iron and heavy kept busy these a room at 2031 Curtis huge machine built of timbers that is being days chewing a weed. Hour after hour the machine goes pounding away, chewing hundreds of pounds of a plant that in its dried condition has the appearance of any common weed that grows on the prairie. And in that chewing machine a wonderful machine has been constructed, because one day a man waa chewing the weed and found it waa the best way to extract rubber from the planL In the discovery of this plant the rubber industry of the country promises to be changed. Incidentally the greatest product since the sugar beet will be found within Colorado's doors. No longer will the merchant be forced to go to the tropical countries of South America for rubber, for right here in Colorado, at the very thresh -hold of Denver, a plant grows that runs from 10 to 25 per cent pur rubber. While Dr. Sol Ringolsky of 1901 Curtis street was the prime mover In the discovery of the plant, to II. A. Welch -er of the Modern Machine works much credit is due for the clever machine he invented. The story of the work connected with the discovery is one of interest It can not be beter told than in the own words of Dr. Ringolsky, who has organised a company and will put the Colorado rubber product on the market . Here is the story of Dr. Ringolsky, and to understand it all it is well worth a trip to the shop of the Modern Machine works to see the chewing machine at work: Rubber as furnished the markets of the world today. Is procured from a milky exudation furnished by several tropical plants and trees. Incisions are made in the trees and the milky liquid thus obtained is spread on clay molds, or on the bodies of native colAfter a sufficient lecting the same. thickness has been obtained by repeat' ed coatings, the product, hardened by exposure to the sun or artificial heat, is peeled off and is ready tor market in its crude state. It Is then prepared In this and European countries for manufacture by grinding the sheets in water for the purpose of freeing and separating it from all Impurities, after which it Is dried and subjected to the tearing action of toothed rollers, one of which revolves faster than the other. When the crude product is thoroughly cleansed it is ready to be impregnated with a small percent of sulphur, the quantity of which is determined by the hardness or elasticity required by the finished product Various other ingredients, as sulphate of sine, whiting, plaster of Paris, pitch, lampblack, etc., are employed for the purpose of hardening, the selection of which and the quantities used depend on the ideas of the manufacturer and the purpose for which It la to be used. It Is then subjected to a heating process at a temperature varying from 300 degrees to 220 degrees Fahrenheit, under pressure. I could not begin to detail a list of the practical uses of rubber, many of which are held back because of the high price of raw material (the price of which varies from C5 cents to 11.23 per pound), the limited and constantly decreasing supply and because of the ever Increasing demand. Our imports of the cnide material for the yenr 1903, according to the latest statistics obtainable. exceed 20,000 tons. .The im portatlon of waste or scrap rubber, principally from Europe, reached in 1902 the enormous 'total of 22.000.000 pounds, which la an indication of the of the pure scarcity and value material. The expectations and prospects are that Colorado will soon be in a post tlon to supply the ever increasing deficit in the rubber markets of the world.

It has been demonstrated that the rubber weed can be transplanted and grown from seed, and improved by cultivation, which will , undoubtedly worthplace many thousand acres of less land on a more than paying basis. My attention was first called to it in the early part of last summer, when It was brought to me for analysis. After subjecting it to numerous tests, both chemical and mechanical, I succeeded in obtaining a fair percentage of pure rubber, and this opened the way and encouraged further investigations. The problem presented was to extract or separate the rubber contained in the roots economically. DENVER CAPITAL INTERESTED. After repeated and exhausted teste with benxine and other materials, I came to the conclusion that chemicals were not practical. The only thing left was to get some mechanical process that would do the work. I had tasted the root many times and in chewing it, found that I could get the pure rubber after eating away for some time. After consulting a number of Inventors I went to H. A. Weicher of the Model Machine works and told him my story. His ideas expressed by drawings looked practical, so much so that I interested capital to go in with me and erect a machine. The company is composed of Denver business men, and we are now ready to tell our friends that we have accomplished what we set out to do. The machine as completed la simple in Its details. From tests it Is known that the plant will run from 10 to 25 per cent pure rubber. The machine will save all the rubber, and at a cost of 10 cents a pound. When one thinks of the extensive area of this plant and the cultivation in sight it Is safe to say that the supply of the root is unlimited. Losrads (despondently) I might just as well be dead.

The latent thing out ia a burglar-procoffin, made neceaaary by recent raids of ghouln lupon the cemeteries and calculated to put those enterprising gentry out of business and deprive many budding doctors of subjects for dissection. It is raid to be easier to break into a safety deposit vault than to rifle one of these caskets. It requires drills and dynamite to effect an entrance, and even then the task la harder than breaking open the safe of a' country bank, for there are no cracks and seams in which to pour They are too heavy to carry away unless there la a large party of grave robbers, and the ordinary ghouls would be likely to seek some task less difficult than one requiring a Jimmy" and explosives. The depredations of grave robbers have made these burglar-procoffins a necessity. It Is said that medical colleges all over the country usq 40,000 human bodies every year for demonstration in the dissecting rooms. Not lf more than of this number are supplied by public institutions and and morgues, where the corpses are unclaimed. Consequently they resort to buying bodies, and the usual price for one in good condition is $30. In ndditlon to this there are many wealthy persons who have a fear that their bodies will be stolen and held for ransom, as in the case of A. T. Stewart. It was this fenr that led Brannon B. Tuttle, n millionaire at Xugutauck, Conn., to arrange for the manufacture of a metallic, burginr-procoffn. In which he was to be buried. Many persons were surprised at the steps he took to avoid the desecration of his grave, but, as a matter of fact, he probably could have obtained a casket of this sort ready Four Cars Cumberland Edgar IJones the 1869.

Three tumbler locks, absolutely proof against AND YOU MUST opening by thieves, were placed on It When finished it weighed more than Presidential Year half a ton. The coffin now manufactured is more properly a vault. It Is receptacle for the casket, and in some cases is large enough to contain the wooden box In which the coffin is sometimes incased. These vaults are of all sises and are made even for the bodies of children, some parents wishing to guard against the theft of the bodies of their little ones. They are made of No. 13 gauge charcoal hammered boilerplate steel. The ends are of heavy, tough malleable iron. They are practically seamless; the only seams are at the ends, for the top and bottom sections are all of one piece. Before being put on the market they are tested by hydraulic pressure to see If they leak. They are guaranteed to be air tight and proof against moisture. The parts are riveted together with cold pressed steel rivets, all rivets being perfectly headed. The top or lid fits into and over a deep flange and leaves no seam. But In order to guard against the possibility of a crevice an elastic cement is used, and this becomes so hard Mint it is as difficult of entrance as steel. When the lid is put on it is held tight by ten automatic spring locks that catch from the inside. These are so adjusted that they do not close unless the top fits perfectly.
