The Flying Dutchman.

One Of the most remarkable legends of the
sea is due to an atmospheric popularity in the
vicinity Of the Cape of Good Hope. The air In
that region has the extraordinary power of un-
equal refraotion, similar to that known TO ex-
list on the boundless prairies of Kansas, Ne
oraska and the Dakotas. On the great waste
OF waters which surround Good Hope the phe-
nomenon appears In the shape Of spectral
looming, or apparent suspension in the air. of
snlps which are 50 far away that they cannot
be seen ON the surface of the water.
Inc phantom-like ships suspended in midair
nave given rise to the weird legend of the Fly
ing Dutchman." According to tho story, which
IL known to be at least 400 years old, a
Dutch captain, honneward bound from the
East Indies, met with long continued bad
weather coupled with the wind blowing dead
ahead At the time when he was making an
effort to turn the cape" he was advised to turn
back and seek shelter until the gale was oyer:
put tkis he refused to do, swearing all the while
thst no would turn the cape" or beat there
until tee day Of Judgment. For this profanity
according to the tradition. he was doomed to
peat against the winds forever.

A., one Of the suspected men, had gray

Better Roads Wanted.

An enthusiast on the subject Of improve
ing public roads is as positive IN assert
ing that bad roads are, in a great measure
responsible for certain bad social conditions
as he is in asserting that good roads cheaper
the cost Of transportation by Saving time,
reducing the wear of draught animals and
Of vehicles, and thus lessening the cost Of
materials to the producer and consumer.
! He says: 1.-THE modern development of
'slums' dn cities. the wrstched OUT
come of life In tenement houses, can
| be laid largely to the bad roads
existing in the farming districts, which in
certain seasons Of the year prevent social
Intercourse. making country life cherries,
isolated and narrow" Looking upon the
matter in this light, which appears to be a
very clear one, it may be conjectured also
that much Of the political discord existing
in the farming districts has been brought
about by bad roads. 1t is an indisputable
fact that churches aud schools are neglected
whom roads are such as to make
travelling over them difficult and dis
agreeable. A bad road will make a
traveller over it as intensely discontinued as
anything with which he has to do; and
when men live with bad roads to the right
of them, bad roads to the left Of them,
and bad roads in front Of them, is it
more than natural that the discomfort
should be extended to almost everything,
and all charged up against that convenient
scapegoat, polticss
There is a significant movement all over
the country in favor of better roads. It
means that the people are tired Of the exist
ing miserable means Of communication in
the country districts. and intend to better the
condition. AT Springfield, Mo-, during last
month road convention was held, at
which the ways and means for improving
the public highways was considered. Among
other things it was decided 60 petition the
legislature 10 80 change the laws as to put
the state convicts to work upon the public
roads, and to grant each county increased
powers for the purpose OF raising road
funds. And, coming home to Savannah,
the board of road commissioners of
Chatham county at its last meeting con-
sidered the matter Of requesting the next
legislature to pass a more suitable road
law. 1t was a step in the right direction.
To put up poor roads is false economy.
The people have found that out and desire
a change.
