pete With the Railroads.
1t has been well said that Americans
travelling IN some parts Of Europe are
struck with the enormous loads dawn
by horses and dogs, whereas glance at
the roadway would do much to account
for the possibility. Belgium, as Consul
Tanner of Liege reports, is divided into
nine provinces, each having its own bu-
reau Of roads and bridges. The roads
avoid heavy grades. are oval and usually
paved with stone, with gravel or with
travel covering stone, which is best of
all. as there is less jolting and noise than
on stone, less wear and tear for running
gear. with good road still remaining if
the gravel washes away.
The stones are uniform and regular in
size and quickly laid or taken up again.
After they are placed earth is put on
them to fill the crcvices, and the whole is
well rolled, sometimes with largeroller
drawn by four horses. If there is no
sanger of washing, gravel road may
take the place of stone, but if the sides,
which receive the drainage, show symp-
toms of yielding, they are carefully
paved, so that washes and gullies cannot
begin there.
The roads are so well built that they
can compete with the railroads Wagons
laden with merchandise, for example,
enter Liege from Brussels, so miles
away, and even from Antwerp, 70 miles.
The draft horses are. to be sure. very
large and strong. but it would take two
of them TO pull the same load on many
American roads. A cart filled with beef
for sale and drawn by one dog will trav-
ell dozen miles, returning with the
owner as a passenger.

Ample Evidence That They Wcre Warlike
rs Well as Skilled Architects.
Although the language and history
of the ancient people of fucatan have
been lost to the world, they have left
behind them monuments by which it is
not difficult to determine the fact that
in many respects they were of a won
derful as well as warlike race pre-
vious to the discovery OF tie country
in 1896. That they were warliile the
early European adventurers found to
their cost. but apart from that all
along the low-lying coast Of Yucatan
and extending inland are found small
watch-towers OF stone, standing on
terraced mounds, SO arranged that
tidings of forays of enemies could
easily be conveyed from one to the
other. Ii addition, mural paintings of
warriors in battle array have been nu-
merously found. The wonderful char
acter of the people is amply demon
strated by the ruins of their cities
All of these are declared by the Phila-
delphia Ledger to display remarba bic
architectural ability. Massive in struc-
ture, intricate, rich and grotesque in
carving, many of these buildings stand
to-day almost in their entirety, though
nearly or quite five hundred years have
passed away since their erection. And
all this rich carving and general stone
cutting was done by chisels of nephrite
and mallets of wood. On immense ter
races the temples of the people stood.
while macadanized roads, raised two
or more feet above the general level
and surfaced with hard, smooth ce-
nent, led from terrace to terrace and
from one community to another.

Tic Panama SILK Hat.

One of the greatest euriosities OF the
Panama isthmus is the vegetable silk
tree, says writer in the st. Louis
GIobe-Democrat. 1t is plant that
grows from fifteen to twenty feet
high, and in appearance does not differ
greatly from other trees, but the inner
bark is a perfect silky fiber, long,
smooth and strong. The natives separ-
ated it by some method best known to
themselves, the process somewhat re-
sembling that of beating flax. When
once it is separated and spun into
threads, it can be woven into fabric
SO closely resembling silk that it is
difficult for anyone not familiar with
It to distinguish between the two.
