similar subjects, upon which these pub
lie spirits are so we'll versed.
"a stitch in time saves nine," applies
to road building as we'll as to feminine
employment.
To simply fiji up hole with the sub
stance nearest at hand generally proves
about as satisfactory as trying to FIJI
sieve with water
Wherever piece of quicksand is
found, it should be thoroughly removed,
If possible, and the hole filled with stone
or some hard material.
The custom of dumping stone, regard
less of size, into low places, and then
covering with roadside dirt, causes much
trouble. The small stones soon work to
the bottom and the large ones to the
surface, where they become slippery,
and as they are net bound together they
cause a jolting which is harder on horses
and vehicles than hauling through mud
would be.
The Chinese roads are built, many of
them, of solid rock. If some system
which was compromise between the
macadam and Chinese systems could be
carried OUT the problem would be solved
The macadam roads, where they can be
afforded, are undoubtedly the best. A
study of the Telford and macadam
methods by all citizens interested in pub
lie affairs would be very helpful.
The width, depth and method of con-
struction must be governed by circum
stances but the depth should, of course,
depend upon the amount of traffic the
road is required to support For heavy
traffic depth of from twelve to eigh-
too 81,
stones should be small, with sharp edges,
and should be closely packed. The road
bed should be dug in the form of a
ough work can be afforded. After pack
filled with chips, and finely broken stone
and pulverized with the roller, then
covered with layer of gravel or screen
ings OF course the expense of road
of this character would prevent its use
at the present time in country districts
except in the worst places, and in such
contingencies the most thorough method
is the most economical Considerable
attention has been given to surface
drainage, but many well-built roads are
watersoaked until ruined for lack of
proper sub drainage. Good drainage
should be obtained regardless of ex-
pcnse; the necessary dit2hing may be
utilized for draining adjacent lands.
In many places in Illinois swampy
meadow lands have been redeemed by
the ditching made for road drainage. 1t
is hard to estimate the addition which
good roads give to land values. but farm
ers especially are becom awake to the
fact that improvements in property con
sist not simply in trees and buildings

A prominent English gentleman, who,
while travelling through the States, had
occasion to do considerable riding
through the smaller towns and country
districts, once remarked that while the
buildings he saw represented a high
standard of civilization, the roads were
still frontier highways, on which little
though; or money had been spent.
To the expeditions Traveller the wind
ing roads so often seen seem to be the
greatest possible distance between two
points, and are not only an annoyance,
but cause Oh absolute loss OF time and
money.
The losses resulting from the imper-
feet building of roads. if seen or felt in
the aggregate, would call the attention
of the public to this work until evils
would be remedied; but unfortunately
the same indifference is in human nature
which the old Eastern farmer showed

;,o ;. locations whore these improvements

;1ar locations where these improvements
haw, not been made,
\ ,llaoes and towns have authority tc
,ote special amounts for road building,
snd though the present laws are unsat-
iufactorv in many ways, proper use OF
existing laws would bring about state
of affairs nore fitting to our present
civilization. Let road districts unite IN
a proposition to begin at q certain point
and make thoroughly gond roaas for
cnrtain distances each ye r
small stretch OF RI !, well bulit,
with proper drainage, W. Id furnish an
insuiration to all who had occasion to
uss it, which nigh cad to al enthusl-
asm for this too often neglected branch
of public work. No method OF building
can do away with the need for constant
repairing. Much labor and expense
could be saved by taking the Dor,s in
hand soon enough. The covering wars
away and the road, whose rounding sur
face should always be preserved, is IN
need of g new, small supply.
If this work could be dono ofteoer,
the new material waslld quickly join
with the old, if put on in small quanti-
ties and she hinaranes to traffic over
patched places would be in degree
avoided. In filing holes the work,
should be 80 thoroughly done that the
rounding surface of the road may be OBJ
served, instead of burdening traffic with
a heap of stones in the roadbed.
Unless strong reasons exist to the con-
trary the work should be done when the
ground is wet In filling long ruts only
short pieces should be filled at time.
If work is all done at once, vehicles
avoid the place, and new ruts are
formed. The use of the roller in the
building of roads is too we'll known to
need mention, but a section of patched
road, which Is practically useless for six
months in year, could be made much
more suitable for traffic by its use.
The Yankee in London opens his eyes
at the unusual speed with which he is
whirled through the busy streets of that
city. He grasps his carpetbag tightly
in both hands and bends his long body
forward as he rides to what seems to
him certain death.
Such speed would be checked by a
policeman in New York or Boston. The
carriage in which he rides is heavier

horses are much bel er-ooking than

If moor road in one month, where con.

cover the expense of building road
which. with slight repairs, would last
for years. In ST. Joseph County, Michf-
gan a strip of corduroy through q
marsh thirty rods long caused two deaths
years ago. The township paid
a 900 in one instance, and losses re-
shifting from accidents from time to
time would make no small sum; yet the
road remains in an unsafe condition,
while at either approach to this strip is
material enough to make a road sixty
feet wide, and it's use would remove two
long, heavy grades. =,
The Indifference and ignorance OF
farmers in working ont poll-taX IS I'M
eynlainable. A half dozen men, with
two or three teams, meet to repair
road which is used for heavy traffic.
These men are obliged many times to
haul loads over roads which have no
foundation drainage and imperfect sur
face drainage, full of holes and wash
outs; yet without plan or method they
gather, and by the use of the scrapcr
the dirt from the roadside is dumped on
to the roadbed, which has not been pre-
pared to receive it.

100000 MILES A MINUTE.

An Electric Current Girdles the Globe in
Three Seconds.
Philadelphia scientists are prepar-
ing to find out how fast an electric
current travels. An experiment will
be made, probably from the Franklin
Institute, by connections over the At
lantic cable to Liverpool and return.
A recent test appeared to show that an
electric current is slow coach as COM
pared to light, being only able to get
over to Europe and back in something
like second, or at the rate of only
some four hundred thousand miles a
minute, while light ambles along at
million-mile-a minute gait. The Phila-
delphia scientists who are proposing to
make further investigation are not
satisfied to give up the record to sun
light, and hope to prove that the cleo
trio current, if not handicapped, is the
swifter element The most recent ex-
pertinent was tried at McGill College,
Montreal, says the Philadelphia
Record. The current was transmitted
in Montreal, was transferred to the
cable at the Newfoundland cable sta
ton by means of Thomson's mirror
galvanometer, sent across to the sta
ton at Liverpool, and returned to
Montreal by the same method. The
distance traversed, partly by overhead
wire and partly By cable, was 5000
miles. From the time the current left
the key in Montreal until it returned
to the receiver in the same Office lust
l second and l-20th Of second had
elapsed; but the conditions were not
as good as they might have been,
hence the further experiment to be
made here. The rapidity with which
the current travels over short wires
with no delay indicated unlimited pos
slbilities in the direction of practical
tests. Prof. Marks, of the Edison
Electric Light Company, is authority
fer the assertion that if the globe was
enclrcled with continuous cable a
current would travel the entire dis
lance in trihe over three seconds.
At this rate current would travel to
the sun, covering the entire distance Of
aG,OO0,OOO miles in three and a half
hours: In this age of SCIENCE" said
one OF the gentlemen who will partici
pate in the experiments, "people have
an idea that we know SO much now
there Is nothing more to be discovered.
Why, we are yet in our infancy as far
as electricity goes. New discoveries
Will yet be made, and we will live to
see them put into practical use, which
VIII revolutionize the entire world.
The experiment which we are about to
nnte in telegraphy is only a feeler
which will lead to other and more
startling experiments. The establish
ment OF telephone communications he
tween the hem: pheres is already he.
ing seriously di sussed."

great stump in his driveway. Instead
Of trying to remove it, he said: "Oh,
it's only little bother to drive around
it, but 'twould take day to dig it out. {"
In building roads in this country too
little attention is paid to two important
things, viz, good surveying and proper
drainage.
Road limits should be as straight and
clearly defined as the rows of the marker
in corntield.
The Romans, without consideration Of
expense, always made their roads the
shortest distance between two points to
be connected. This will not of course
be found to be practicable in many in
stances; but, while the road must be
laid in such place and manner as to
make the least expense of building and
repairing, some sacrifice of money and
labor can be afforded, when the question
of loss of time is to be considered OF

A CHICAGO unbeliever in spiritual
ism offers to give 500 to any medium
who will produce the much talked of
slate writing manifestation on slate
furnished by himself, the medium be-
ing allowed to select it from a full
stock. He also insists that in case a
so-called spirit makes bodily appear
ance, he shall be allowed to take the
said spirit by the hand, and if it can
then vanish from sight without a VIC
lent struggle, the said unbeliever will
not only acknowledge himself in the
wrong, but part with his money. The
probability is that his offer will not be
accepted. Either the spirits do not
want to work for filthy lucre. or they
shrink from the idea Of satisfying the
skeptical or they will have something
better to do than to cater to the vain
couriosity of man whom it may be
presumed would not own up to being
beaten. No respectable medium would
wish to put him OF herself in position
to be tainted as Elijah rallied the
priests of Baal when he recommended
them to Cory aloud, for he is God,
either he is talking, or he is pursuing,
or is in a journey, or peradventure he
sleepeth and must be awsked." It Is
not the kind Of test that high spirited
''test medium" would be willing to
submit to, and the gentleman would do
better to offer to invest his money in
SOME other way.
