From the earlier time it was well known to the Peruvians that when a cut was made in the thick skin of a rubber tree, a white liquid like milk came out. From this fluid (流动的) a sticky mass of rubber might be made. This rubber is soft and wax-like when warm so that it is possible to give any form.
The Peruvians made the discovery that it is very good for keeping out water. Then in the early part of the century they made overshoes to keep their feet dry. Then a certain Mr Mackintosh developed selling coats of cloth which were lined with rubber. Today Mackintosh raincoats are still named after him.
But the rubber we use today has been improved. It is not sticky but soft and elastic(弹性的) and strong enough for any season.
