USES OF INDIA RUBBER.
It is probable that no other commodity ever came into such varied use within so short a period as indiarubber. First employed practically for footwear and other waterproof apparel, rubber has come to be employed in electrical insulation, hose pipes for the conveyance of water, steam, air, and so on; pneumatic and other tyres for all x sorts of wheeled vehicles, balloons, and the planes of aerial machines, innumerable articles for the comfort of invalids, household conveniences, and Avhat not. A point of interest, in this connection is that, thus far, rubber has never come into use to any important extent for any given purpose to which it is not still devoted; in. other words, its advantages are so marked in many uses that, when once introduced, no substitute can be found for it.
