Country Road Making.

Tt is a matter OF universal comment
with travellers that country road making
in the United States is either a lost art
or a to- be acquired science. The aver
ace selectman or road agent OF az eoun-
try town is usually deplorably ignorant
of the first principles OF making good
road. Nothing will so surely advance
the growth and well-heing OF a town as
well made and well-kept roads. No
part of its domestic economy will more
certainly repay the outlay. Nothing
more bespeaks the intelligence and
character or public spirit OF its citizens.
In England and most of its dependen-
cies the roads are made directy by the
State or under its supervision. AS a
re ult the contrast between Engli. h
roads and those of this country is much
in favor of the former. A common and
natural mistake Of most toM MS in this
country is that an intelligent farmer
must necessarily know how to make q
good road. but the reverse is the fact.
Road making is a subject requiring
study and a knowledge of the nature OF
soils. not often considered by any but
engineers, or til Sc to whom such ,knoWl-
edge is a necessary adj net OF their
business in life. A well made road even

Electric Lights on the Hudson.

But short time ago the electric light
was an invention nowhere in use on the
Hudson, but to those who now sail up
and down the river, the electric lights
at Newburg and Poughkeepsie have be-
come familiar objects. The first cleo
trio light made use of on the Hudson
was by the Pennsylvania Coal Company
at Newburg, who have for several years
past made use of five in the summer
months. Their lights have become very
familiar and useful to the pilots, for
their glare lights up the whole river.
There are also several large manufac-
tories in Newburg that make use of the
light. The upper furnace at Poughkeep-
sic makes use of two; one of these, hav-
ing the wall of the building for a refec-
tor, sends out magnificent light over
the river. Electric lights are now in
general use at Hudson, a complete sys.
