THE “COAL FAMINE” ABROAD. The “coal famine” in Europe has culminated, and the outlook is for low- er prices—barring international com- plications in China, which would in crease the cost of sea freightage. A special cable despatch to the Herald yesterday noted the strike on the Toff Vale Railway and the conse- quent enforced idleness of 30,000 Welsh colliers. That number is less than five per cent of the whole number of coal miners in Great Britain, and, while a protracted strike would serious- ly injure the men, the railway com- pany and the ewners of the collieries concerned, it would not check the reactionary tendency in the price of fuel. It is well known that the prices _re- cently scored made it possible to ship coal frem the United States to Euro- pean ports, and for a reason we will touch upon in a moment vastly increas- ed quantities would be sent if there were any assurance that the present level would be maintained. A glance at the causes that produced the “famine” will make the position clear, and to begin with it is well to remem- ber that Great Britain last,year export- ed upward of forty million tons in excess of her own enormous consump- tion, the keen demands of her foreign advance in prices. The rising tendency was first man- ifested two years ago, when the great strike of the miners in Wales, at a time when an industrial expansion was increasing the demand tor coal throughout the world. Last year the production of iron was greater still, and the strike in the valley of the Loire drove French consumers in increasing numbers to England, where they found themselves bidding in competition with German and Belgiam smelters andjeager buyers}from Austria-Hungary —also cursed with a strike—Russia and Italy. Iron is the basis of nearly all manufactures, and,iron cannot be had without coal, and so iron and coal went soaring together. German man- ufactures demanded that the govern- ment should prohibit the exportation of coal, and Russia relaxed her tariff te encourage its importation. Undue importance was attached to the Boer war as a cause of the rise, although it unquestionably did contrib- ute to it. The British government has recently published a detailed report of the vessels it employed to carry troops, material of war and animals from all quarters of the globe to South Afriea between July 1 of last year and March 1 of the present year. Two hundred and thiriyseven steamers were engaged mamy {of these making second and third trips. The gross carrying capa- city aggregated nearly 1,750,000 tons. Ot course, these vessels in their ordi- nary peaceful trade would have been consuming coal, but their withdrawal caused a scarcity of tonnage, with con- sequent rise in freights,and freight is a larger factor in the cost of coal than of any other eommod'ty. Now,coal in the United States is so nem plentiful and lies so near the surface and our waterways are so numerous that it can be delivered at the sea- board at much lower cost than the British colliers can fut it down on their coast. In Germany the State- owned railways have put the cost of land transport on coalto one-half the British rates, while our own railway transport it for one-fourth of the lat- ter. © With an output—including anthracite—of 250 million tons last year, we for the first time surpassed Great Britain and stood the greatest coal producer among the nations. Not- withstanding our own boom in iron and the attendant rise in that and coal, the price of the latter here was so low compared with the unprecedented rise abroad that the difference was sufficient to cover the cost of transpor- tation across the Atlantic. Hence in February last contracts were made for shipments to Mediterranean ports and Northern Europe, and when the British colliers two months ago “put the screws on” in order to exact high- er prices from their home railways, then making’their half yearly{contracts, further engagements from this side the Atlantic were reported. The exorbitant prices of coal, how- ever, gave the signal for the industrial reaction now in progress in Englana and on the continent—just as in this customers being the chief cause of the’ country the business had been over- done. As industrial expansion was the chief factor in the rise, so the pre- sent contraction means lessened de- mand for coal and consequent falling prices. The high prices have natural- ly stimu'ated the domestic production of all the countries that import a por- tion of their coal from Great Britain, and at the same time the appearance of the United States as a competitor his given warning®to tne European mine owner that there is a limit to his exactions. The advantage that Eng- land possesses over this country in the matter of shipping coal is that she ex- ports much less merchandize than she imports and consequently has cheap | outward tonnage for ceal—often as ballast—whereas in the case of the United States this position is revers- ed. The nut of the whole business is this :—A continuance of high prices abroad would Sencourage the invest- ment of capital in the building of ves- sels specially designed for the cheap transatlantic transportation of coaland this done the British colliery owner will find himself face to face with a competitor who will give him good cause toregret his greed.—New York Herald. — GATHERING AND CURING CRUDE RUBBER. Crude rubber is imported into this’ country from many widely sections of the globe, and in a_ wonderful variety of forms, the characterists of the sub- siance changing widely under varying conditions of harvesting, curing, etc. The first knowledge of rubber is said to have been secured through La Condamine, a French philosopher, R, F. Maddigan & Co Lewer Queen Street. ment to Peru to measure an arc o' the meridian, the speci nens he secured go- ing to form museum exhibits. South America produces the best rubber in the werld, as. well as the most of it. The Amazon Valley, embracing rubber forests in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru, is the centre of the industry, the product being exported from the city of Para, whence the name Para rubber. The tree which produces rubber, or caoutchouc, as itis called by the na- tives of South America, is found chief- ly inthe topical zone. The rubber trees on the Amazon rise without branches to a height off from 50 to 60 feet, being topped ofl by deep green leaves six or seven inches in length. Peru’s product, lower in grade than para, is known as “Caucho.” The rubber trees of Nicaraugua and other Central American States, also found in Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico, produce rubber known as “centrals.” The Atlantic States of Brazil, south of Para, produce rubber trees from which come the grades known as ‘“Mangabeira,” “Pernam- buco,” and “Ceara.” Africa cames next to South America in the amount of rubber produced, and in the interior of that country there are great rubber fotests as yet untouched. Rubber is to be found on the east and west coasts and also on zhe Island of Madagascar: The East Indies furnish camparatively little rubber, the first ex- ported coming from Assam. The rubber from the Cameroons is in the shape of little black balis, while that from districts further up the Af. rican Coast comes in the shape of flat, ugly fragments, know as “‘oysters.” Fine Pararubber reaches this coun- try in the form of “biscuits,” the excel- lence of this grade being due in a large measures to the natives’ methods of gathering and curing it. They make make a longitudinal gash in the bark of the tree with a narrow hatchet, in- serting a wedge to keep the gash open, and placing a small eartherner clay cup beneath the gash to catch the ' thick,2’white oily liquid which flows from the wound. In a few hours the milk ceases to flow, each wound yield- ing from three to five teaspoonfuls, The “Seringero,” or gatherer, ther: empties the contents of the cups into an earthern vessel. As the milk soon coagulates the gathering is quickly followed by the curing process, which is done by building a fire of Uruuru nuts, over which is placed the bottomless earthern jar or pot shown In the illustration, the pungent fumes issuing through the small aparature at the time serving to “cure” the rubber, which is passed slowly through the hot smoke, To form the biscuits, the natives take long stakes of wood, sometimes pointed at the end, and quite frequent- ly shaped like a paddle, dip them into the sap buckets, holding them in the smoke after each dipping, until the successive films of rubber solidify around them. A biscuit of Para rub- ber, therefore, represents the slow and laborious accumulation of hundreds of ' dipplings, so that quitea stretch of who, in 1730, was sent by his govern {the L “se Imagination would be » arrive at the ny quired to form the huebk by ~ illustrated herewith, wee Pa = 120 pounds and Measures , L inches In height, 3 feer 3 diameter, and 9 feet 4 re cumference.
