Along with the consolidation of the Austria-Hungarian 

 rubber goods makers and some German firms [says Gummi- 

 Zeitiing, February 16] news comes through the Vienna pa- 

 pers, of a price convention of the bicycle tire interests. The 

 consolidation took place recently in Berlin, and the impor- 

 ters of pneumatic bicycle tires into Austria-Hungary were 

 then approached on the same subject. The allied dealers 

 have decided to put the new trade scale into effect within 

 the next two months. 



A HORSE SURPRISED BY RUBBER. 



GEORGE ADE, in a series of Ininiorous observations by 

 an American in Europe, in the New York Herald, in- 

 cludes the following in his notes from London, which the 

 Herald's artist has illustrated with the drawing here repro- 

 duced : 



Rubber P.-wemenT. — The large covered court of the Savoy 

 Hotel is paved with blocks of soft rubber three feet .square. Con- 

 stant procession of cabs in and out of court and rubber deadens 

 sound. Good idea— should be used in all the streets of New York. 

 New cab horse comes along — never has tackled rubber pavement — 

 is clattering noisily over the asphalt— suddenly hits the soft rubber 

 aiul begins to bounce up and down like a tennis ball. Strange 

 look conies into horse's ej'e and he crouches like a rabbit, looks 

 over his shoulder at the driver and seems to be asking, "What 

 am I up against?" Mean trick to play on a green horse. Should 

 be a warning sign displayed. 



The Rock Island Tropical Plantation Co. was organized in 

 June at Rock Island, Illinois, and subsequently incorporated 

 under the laws of Arizona, with $2,400,000 capital, to grow rub- 

 ber and other tropical products in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, 

 where it is reported to have acquired 12,000 acres of forest land. 

 Hon. M. O. Williamson, of Galesburg, former state treasurer of 

 Illinois, is president ; E. A. Edien, M. D., of Moline, vice presi- 

 dent ; Colonel John N. Williams, of Chicago, second vice presi- 

 dent and general manager; Professor V. O. Peterson, of Au- 

 g ista College, Rock Island, secretary; and Hon. Jonathan 

 Mertiam. of Chicago, trea'^urer. 



The firm of Newiuanu & Bocler has built a factory in 

 Rotliensburgport, Haniljurg, for making rubber and asbes- 

 tos goods.
