they penetrate far Into the virgin for*

cover an entirely new district. In the
sections already worked most ofthetrere
-toave been tapped several times, and
jnany of them were spoiled at the outset
*y having been cut too yqitng because ita
greedy discoverer feared that if the prize
were left to attain perfection another
might secure it. Were the matter regu
lated by judicious laws, so that only ma
ture trees might bo tapped, and those not
to an extent to cause death, the produc
tion, of caoutchoao would soon be a
source of wealth to the republic. The
{Costa Rican government begins to be
tdive to this facti and has recently offered
extensive grants of land to any Who will
(devote themselves to the culture of rub
ber trees.
