The Best Stone for Roads.

In a paper read before the Boston So
ciety of Civil Engineers, W. E. McClin-
took remarks that the specific gravity of
a rock is no indication whatever of its
fitness for road metal. Thus slate weighs
IT'S pounds per cubic foot and pure
mica about 1S3 pounds, but no one
would think of using either of these for
road metal. The best material for this
purpose was, he considered, trap rock,
after which he would place ~felsite. aud
then came granite. As regards the latter,
however, it differs in quality, that o n
tanning hornblende being preferable to
those with mica. The latter was soft
and should not be used unless it was
very difficult to get better material. In
cases where the traffic is light aud the
stones previously mentioned difficult to
procure, sandstone may be economically
used for metal, in spite of its inferior
wearing powers. OF two standstones, he
felt that the coarse-grained was to be
preferred. Gneiss he held to be of about
the same value as a good sandstone

The cause Of the explosion Is unknown, as

the gas became ignited by the gauze OF the

or else the bearer stumbled and dropped the

explosion followed.
There we're few men at work In the mine at
