RESISTANCE OF SHELLS.

jefferson Streets Pavement as Good
as Asphalt Now.
The durability of Savannah's she'll pave.
ments is no longer a matter Of doubt. The
pavement is the cheapest that can be put
down and it has as much resistance after
once becoming packed as graywacke or
asphalt. jefferson street from Charlton to
Anderson is proof OF this. The pavement
has been IN use for several months, subjected
almost constantly to the heaviest kind OF
as asphalt and even shows less wear and
tear.
Alderman Harmon, chairman OF the
street and lane committee, in order 70 find
out how much traffic goes over jefferson
streets shelled roadway daily, had a man
stand at one point a few days ana keep an
account Of the number Of vehicles which
passed. The result was greater than be ex-
pected. From o'clock in the morning I'M
til O'Clock at night l,775 varied vehicles
passed over the pavement. The majority
we're OF a heavy character. Multiply this
number by the number Of days in the week
and month and one can see the immense
amount of traffic which goes by way OF
Jefferson street.
Alderman Harmon has by his experiment
given Savannah an excellent pavement and
no doubt within the next ten years all the
streets in the residence portion of the city
will be paved with it. The alderman solved
question which will save the city and citi-
zens many dollars which otherwise they
would necessarily have had to spend for
other kind Of pavement, either gray wacke
or asphalt.
The street and lane force is now shelling
Bolton street and will have the work com
pleted shortly. This will finish paving for
this year. Other streets north and south of
the park will be paved next year with the
same material Macon, Wayne, Taylor
and Gordon will probably be the streets
paved north Of the park.

Wormlike Snakes.

The wormlike snakes are called burrow-
ing snakes, because they dwell under the
surface of the ground and rarely appear
above it, so that they live much as worms
do. In accordance with this habit their
body is cylindrical and they have short
head, rounded or pointed in front, and a
short but strong tail. They are incased in
dense armor of smooth polished scales,
which are of small size on the belly as well
as on the back and sides. As might be ex-
pected, the eyes are rudimentary; and
there are few teeth, in some forms the
lower jaw and in others the upper one be-
ing edentulous.
Their food mostly consists Of grubs,
worms and burrowing insects. They are
Of small size, often from about five to ten
inches long, though some forms attain two
feet. There are nearly a hundred different
species, which are generally distributed
over the hotter portions of the globe in
both hemispheres, Fourteen species are
found in India, and one inhabits Cyprus
and Greece Quarterly Review.
