BAD ROADS.

Every one knows that the roads IN this
country are about the worst that exist in
any civilized country in thr world. OF
course, the reason for it is TINT railroads
are built 50 soon after the settlement Of
any new portion of it that the need Of
good wagon roads is not felt in anything
like the degree in which il otherwise
would be: and in the older portions Of
the country roads that were once good
are sometimes allowed 10 get out OF re-
pair for the same reason. The recent
description Of the French roads and how
they are kept up, written by MIR. Joseph
Pannell for Harpe,'s Wce&y, is no doubt
a revelation to many Americans of what
may be done in the way of road making.
Nothing like those roads has ever existed
in this country.
A conviction of the need Of better
wagon roads seems to be gradually per-
meating the public mind, and some i'm.
provement has taken place during the
last few years. There is reason TO hope
that much greater improvement will
take place in the next few years and this
largely because Of the efforts Of the League
OF American Wheelmcn. This organlza-
lion is of course interested in the main
teaance Of good roads everywhere. It's
members explore all The highways and
byways Of the country. They know the
few good roads and The many bad ones,
and they know better how bad the bad
ones are than almost anybody else. Fur
thermore they are young mon. they are
enthusiastic, they are harmonious, and
they are well organized. We may there
fore expect that they will be able to ac-
complish something.

PE0PLA LIVE LONGER NOW.

Facts clearly prove that the people at
tain greater age now tnan in any period
of the worlds history, except IN the times
of the fabulous Matnusaleh. With all
that pessamists and Croukcrs say to the
contrary this is an age Of exceptional
longevity. 1t is fast age some say, and
our manner of living shorten our days,
which is true enough, but not any more
so than any of the previous ages.
Among men who have lived long and
lived well the world to-day has its Brown
SequaIds, its Gladstones, its Hannibal
Hamlins, who are hale and hearty away
up in and above their "three score and
tens" and many verging the one hundred
line.
Down in York, Pa, William Young,
who voted for John Quincy Adams in

1otestandL Lnrgest Steam engine.

The largest steam engine in the world
is that constructed for the new Italian
cruiser Sardegna. 1t really consists Of
four triple expansion engines, which can
na used together or separately, as de-
-.red, the entire combination being ca
pnble of developing force of $4,000
nominal or y. 900 actual horse power
The ship is driven by twin screws and
two engines are connected to the shaft
of each screw, but one screw can be
stopped altogether if the vessel is TO be
turned around, or for ordinary sailing
one engine only may be used for each
screw but, in case it should be neces-
sarv to increase the speed, the other en-
sines can at once be connected and the
full power exerted. As usual with naval
machinery, large number of auxiliary
engines are used. On the Sardegna
there are no less than twenty compound
auxiliary engines for feeding thesboilers,
keeping up the draught and SO on, be-
sides great variety OF single cylinder
machines. s.-Exohange.

Is THE UNEXPECTED THAT occuEs

President Garfeld's saying that " It
was the unexpected that was always oc-
curing in his life, ," is true Of most of the
occurrances of the world Plans may he
well laid, projects may be sllilfully ar
ranged schemes may be wisely devised,
but the large majority of things happen
ing to mankind come in unexpected
ways and at unexpected times while
most of the expected things don't come at
all. All Of which is made quite manifest
in about nlue-tenths of the things pre-
dicted in the news columns of the public
press. The hundred and one things that
are going to take place, according to
cablegrams and tellegrams, and specials
in the daily papers, don't materialize
and instead of reading the occasional an
nouncement, " as we predicted" or " as
this paper said" a verihcation OF the
things predicted, we read OF occGrrances
that no human foresight ever dreamed of.
1t is now a dynamite catastrophe, or
railroad disaster, or a flood destruction,
at places and times and under circum-
stances no one foresaw.
The hundreds of persons arrested and
imprisoned for hienous crimes, and who
are sure TO be lynched according to spec
ial correspondents, are seldom molested.
Only occasionally do the predictions
come true. Just now we are reading
that the expected bloody termination of
the great London strike didn't occur.
After being so fully prepared by lengthy
cablegrams for hearing of one of The
greatest and most terrible conflicts be-
tween labor and capital in the worlds
history, it is rather refreshing to know
that the unexpected peaceful settlement
of the trouble has taken place.
And thus it is generally with the WAYS
of the world. 1t has provoking method
Of fooling us in our expectations. and OF
helming us with new and unex-
