Road Mending.

SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 12th, 1885.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
This may not be the best season OF the
year for mending streets and roads, but
it may be good time to think about it,
and as the subject has been referred to
in THE HERALD, Imay say word.
There are some good roads in old
England, but rather better in France,
and perhaps one or two other CONT
mental nations. We can't boast of many
good roads hereabout, but they are
getting better in places. Good as the
roads generally are in England, the
people there want them bettered, and
discuss the matter lntelligently now and
then. In the National Review of Sep
TENDER, is a much commended article
on roads, particularly as to the Mac
adam variety. by II, Revell Reynolds,
Jr. 1t might do our road men good to
obtain that article and study it well.
Meantime 1 will give Mir. Reynolds
conclusions. as briefly stated by him in
the following terms.
ITO sum up the matter in a few words,
bOS points 20 De lnSlSJeu on are I0eSe:
The stones must be broken small, lie,
one and q half inches in their largest
diameter; hard material, flint, where
or granite, should be em-
ployed; no mud, sand. or so called
binding material must be used, but
the stones must be made to unite by
their own angles into solid mass:
economy of material must be promoted
by filling up holes at once, and by never
putting down stones more than one
thick, also by making small patches of
stone where wanted. instead of large
ones whether wanted or not; all mud
must be removed; attention must be
paid to drainage, especially by filing up
so by the use of the rake.
All this to be done under the careful
Of a competent surveyor.

The spectacle had long run,
and during the last ten years
it vas revived FIVE times at
RitlO's and reproduced with entirely
new scenery, costumes, etc., several
times. Their last revival in September,
at the Boston Theatre, was an entirely
new production, scenery, costumes,
arsnOrS and accessories having all been
made new in Paris aad Florence. A
live elephant has been purchased and
introduced in the" Royal Metropolis" so
as TO give full effect to the Oriental
splrndOrs. A cast of rare excellence
has been engaged fer the dramatic
ch racters of the play. and what Is
claimed TO be one of the finest ba let's
that has ever been placed on the Amer
can stage. has been secured. Mile De

and chaste ballet.

HIGH SMELLING CHARGES.
The Price of Silver Affects the Miner
in More Ways Than One.


Some of the smelling establishments
haze increased their working charge on
orss from 81 TO IS per ton, and it is quite
probable that all concerns WIN follow
suit. The price of silver Will also be
variable, ranging from 80 to 81 per cent.
of the New York quotations per ounce.
This rise in price will apply to dry
s1icious ores chiefly, and desirable
ores will not be much affected. The
SmelterS assert that the late schedule
OF rates was based upon silver at an
average OF Si.l0 per ounce, With COM
paratlvely steady and favorable mar
Ket. These Conditions have materially
changed, the market being not only
much depressed. but also surrounded
with so much OF uncertainty that the
accumulation of silver may prove dis
2Strous TO the holders. a cessation IN
the coinage OF silver is one of the DOS
SlDIlItles OF the near future in This
country, and consequently it Is but
wisdom on the part OF the smelters and
rehnerS to prepare for this emergency
which would prove most disastrous
TO them II margins be continued as
narrow as they have heretofore
been. This action by the smelters
brings the silver question practically
to bear upon the miner and the mining
INDUSTRY of Colorado. Intelligent min
ers who thoroughly understand the
cost and losses Of smelling and refining
have been fully satisfied with the rates
that have hitherto prevailed and ac-
knOwledged that they were literally
dealt with by the smelters. These men
will look philOsophically upon the new
rates as unavoidable and as dictated by
prudential motives rather than design
or intent to injure the miner. TIE
Smetters say they cannot longer stand
between the miner and the silver mar
ket without danger of great losses, and,
therefore, they must increase their
margins, leaving it TO the discretion of
miners to sell or withhold their ore as
they think best for their own interests
The large smelling establishments. of
necessity, accumulate large stocks ,oi
silver, both III ore and bullion. and anV
sudden and rapid decline, such as hos
tile legislation would certainly cause
would bankrupt them. The ayowed
hostility Of the press and people cast of
the Missouri river, and the attitude of
the national executive, are so well
known, that the most enthusiastic
friend of silver is not hopeful of the
future. The production of gold from
the lodes and placers OF the State
should be encouraged in every manner,
so that disaster to our silver interests
may be compensated tor in the largest

An amusing feature during the week
has been the supreme gush with which
the Tribune plastered Emma Nevada and
the Carleton company. To re ID its oPiE-
ion of the sage brush linnet one would
suppose that her advent In Salt Lake
marked a new era in song, AID that 1t
threw far back into the shade the visit
of every other eantratice whoever came
to our city. But the fact that Miss
Yixom drew her first breath on the
same alkai fat that nourished the
genius of the TYiJxRs atones Tor NAL
titude OF shortcomings. Nevada is

much out this way as Its English, you
knew, seems to IN New York.

Why Bees Work in the Dark

A lifetime might be spent in investigating
the mysteries hidden in beehive and still
half the secrets would be undiscovered The
formation of the cell has long been problem
for the mathematician, while the changes
which the honey undergoes offer at least an
equal interest to the chemist. Every one
knows what honey fresh from the comb is
like. 1t is clear yellow syrup, without a
trace of solid sugar in it. Upon straining
however, 1t gradually assumes a crystalline
appearance-it candies as the saying Is, and
ultimately becomes solid mass of sugar. 1t
has not been suspected that this change is
due to Photographic action that the same
agent which determines the formation of
camphor and iodine crystals in a bottle causes
the syrup honey to assume crystalline form.
This, however, is the case M. Schneider an
eminent chemist, has inclosed honey in stop-
pered TASKS, some of which he has kept in
perfect darkness, while others has been ex.
posed to the light. The invariable result has
been that the summed portion rapidly crystal.
Lies, while that kept in the dark has re-
manned perfectly liquid And this is WHY
bees work in perfect darkness, and why they
are so careful to obscure the glass windows
which are sometimes placed in their hives.
The existence OF young depends on the IL
quldity OF the saccharine food presented to
them and if light were allowed access to
this, the syrup would gradually acquire a
more or less solid consistency; it would seal
up the cells, and in all probability prove fatal
to the inmates of the hive.

He Didn't Get Excited.

A stranger sat in the corner ofthe car go
ing to New York, in an easy attitude. his
feet upon large black trunk The gentle.
manly conductor, going his rounds at the
first station politely informed the stranger
that that was no place for q trunk, it must
be put in baggage car.
10 which the stranger nothing replied. At
the second station the displeased conductor
more decidedly told the stranger that he must
put the trunk in the baggage car.
The stranger seemed perfectly Indifferent
At the third station the vexed conductor
more imperatively told the stranger that he
must put the trunk in the baggage car, or it
would be put off the train.
The stranger kept perfectly quiet.
At the fourth station the irate conductor
had the trunk put off and left.
At the fifth station the Modified conductor,
addressing the stranger, begged him to re-
member that he had but done what his duty
required, and that he had done il only after
repeated. warning, and that it was solely the
strangers fault
To which the stranger laconically replied:
