Less Rubber From Bolivia. 



These figures denote the quantity of rubber exported from 

 Bolivia, by calendar years, in English pounds. In most casej 

 they are official, being supplied to The India Rubber World 

 direct : 



1891 759,000 



1892 799,48o 



1893 868,600 



1894 1,391,500 



1895 1,804,902 



1896 2,509,566 



1897 3,683,275 



1898 6,943,100 



1899 4,708,000 



1900 7,691,728 



1901 7,623,138 



1902 4,186,585 



1903 2,906,274 



1904 3,456,481 



1905 3,720,908 



1906 1,929,608 



1907 1,830,513 



1908 1,818,187 



Up to and including 1902 the figures embraced the production 

 of the Acre territory, which since has been ceded to Brazil. 

 Until that time the Acre yielded the greater part of the Bolivian 

 rubber export. In 19OI the Acre was credited with 5,054,436 

 pounds and in 1902 with 1,757.510 pounds. For 1903 and the 

 years following the figures relate to Bolivia with the Acre 

 excluded. It will be seen that for this region the yearly output 

 has been declining, though it is known that the Acre has greatly 

 enlarged its output of late.

The first monthly inscription of the year, on January 27, em- 

 braced about 92 tons of rubber, practically all from the French 

 Congo. 



Central Electric Co. (Chicago) have issued under date of 

 December, 1909, a price list and discount sheet applying to their 

 catalogue No. 26, on Electrical Supplies, among which wire 

 insulated with Okonite figures prominently. [5%" X 8J4". 64 

 pages.] 



Wirt & Knox Manufacturing Co. (Philadelphia), have 

 brought out a catalogue for 1910 of their Hose Carts, Reels and 

 Racks, which cannot fail to interest dealers in and users of such 

 articles. [5^4 in. x 3/ in. 44 pages.] 



In connection with the large wheels, the tires have a direct 

 relation to the matter of weight. The over-heavy auto- 

 mobile destroys tires in far greater proportion to its weight 

 than does the car of moderately light weight. Michelin is 

 authority for the statement that a 5 per cent, increase in car 

 weight will produce a 15 per cent, increase in the tire wear 

 and tear. This means that an excess of one-third in weight 

 doubles the destruction of tires. — H. H. Franklin, in Carriage 

 Monthly. 



An improvement in rubber vacuum cups whereby a heavy bev- 

 eled hand mirror can be attached to a window pane and remain 

 for months with perfect safety is what makes the Vacu-Mirror 

 a very valuable adjunct to the toilet. The rubber suction cup 

 fits inside of the semipherical metal cap shown in the engraving. 

 In applying, the rubber cup is compressed or dented with the 

 thumbs through the openings in the metal cup. With the face 

 of the cap against the window pane, the release of the thumbs 

 forms a vacuum that will keep it there indefinitely. [Austin 

 Sales Co., No. 18 Vesey street, New York.]
