SUBURBAN ROAnWAYS.
Substantial and Thorough Construc-
ton of Telford highways

Substantial and Thorough Construc-
ton of Telford Highways.
The following description of the
method OF constructing substan-
tial roadway according to ideas of
Telford will impress the reader as
thorough, but it suggests and undue
and perhaps an unnecessary thick
ness Of the separate layers and a
consequent waste of material.
A description of the work as done
on road in New York city may be
useful. The roadbed is trimmed
to the required form, which is a de-
scent of eight inches from the curb
along the center strip to the outer
curb, and the ground is made firm
by the use Of 81 ton roller.
Upon the prepared roadbed a
pavement of quarry stones is set by
hand, the stones being from s to
10 inches in depth, 3 to inches IN
width and not exceeding IA inches
in length, and of as nearly a uni
form size as possible, with parallel
sides.
The stones are laid lengthwise
across the road, with the broadcast
edges down. After being closely
set together they are firmly wedged
by inserting and driving down with
bar used for that purpose, in all
possible places, stones of the same
depth until every stone is bound
and clamped in the proper position.
The projections Of the stones on
the top of the pavement are then
broken off with Il light hammer,
and the spalls worked into the in
terstices not already filled by the
process of wedging, by which the
pavement is reduced to an even sur
face of eight inches.
Broken stones of gneiss, OF a size
to pass through ring 2 inches in
diameter, are then spread evenly
over the pavement to such a depth
us will make six inches when rolled.
This layer is then rolled first with
81 ton horse roller, so that the
steam roller can pass over without
difficulty, and when thoroughly
compact is in readiness or the top
layer.
The top layer is of broken stone
of trap rock of a size to pass through
ring l -! inches diameter, spread
evenly over to such a depth as will
bring the surface to the proper
grade. After being made thor
oughly compact screened gravel to
the depth of about u inches is
spread on top and thoroughly rolled.
Both he stone and gravel are
kept well moistened by means of
sprinkling carts while the rolling is
going on, and the gravel, working
down into the interstlces under the
roller, consolidates the whole ma
terial.
When completed, the entire depth
of pavement, stone and gravel is Is
inches.
1t has been found impracticabIe
to consolidate the stone when placed
on the road by the heaviest rolling
with 16 ton steam roller without
some binding material. Hard
gravel has been used for this pur-
pose as being preferable to loan or
other material. When the avenue
is first thrown open to travel, the
roadway is kept moist by sprinkling,
and a man is employed to pick off
any stones that may be loosened by
the feet of horses, and a 2-horse
roller is kept passing over it until
it becomes thoroughly compact and
smooth. Good Roads.

DR. Shepard writing IN the June
number of the Journal of Hygiene
of New York under the theme of .
Greater Temperance, says many apt
things and in closing paints the fu'
ture man as something grand, he
says
I'VE talk about Temperance as
though abstinence from alcohol
we're the fullfillment of the law, but
there is greater temperance yet to
come. There is more than one
kind of intemperance. The sin
of overeating produces as much
t,olble that which comes from
the use as to the community
OF alcoholic drinks. The use of to.
bacco is the occasion of harm second
only to that Of alcohol. The evil
wrought by the excessive use Of
coffee is by no means one OF the
minor ones. The baneful effects of
the coffee.habit in Brazil are equal
to those of the beer, habit among
the Germans. The evils of our
selves in every way in our work
and in our play, in eating and
drinking, in our sexual relations,
and even in those athletic efforts
that are supposed to be hygienic
and recuperative. These very ex-
cesses are the occasions Of much of
the demand for al biol to drown
the nervous rebellion.
The present methods of correct
ing the drink.babit are painful in
their weakness aud failures. The
drink. curse is not an accident or
theory, but a condition, the direct
result of cause AID effect, and can
be successfully grappled with only
by the application Of physiological
laws and forces.
As evolutionists it is permitted
US to look forward to the time when,
after al age Of temperance, an age
of clea ILLNESS and purity, an age OF
freedom from tobacco, an age OF
sanitary reform, All age of plain
living and high thinking, az age OF
health, which is holiness, man shall
have become 80 regenerated that he
will walk the earth one hundred
years and more. Then the time
will come when we shall seek
health by obedience to law, both
physical and moral, and we will
have entered upon higher plane Of
life, and thus will be fulfilled mans
true destiny"
