I think they just missed the segue from the intro (about the caning of Charles Sumner) to the body of the article (about gutta-percha).
The two are only tangentially related in that the cane happened to be made of gutta-percha, and its easy to miss the sentence where they mention this because it's sandwiched between a large image and a form to subscribe to the newsletter.
