Novel Exposition Of u Road system Whicl,

About 100000 acres Of land have been

land Is worth 500 per acre. Other
land is worth from $40 10 $50 per acre.
A fair average for the whole state,
therefore, is not far from $40 per acre.
All the roads in Illinois are by law
four rods wide. But not one Il ftieth Of
the roads are actually utilized for q

Hamburg. Water SnnnlH.

The new plan for furnishing the
city of Hamburg with pure water in
wolves an immense plant, the water TO
be pumped from the Elbe at a point
about mile and a half above the
present intake into four large basins,
settling and clarifying in these for
twenty-one hours. From these basins
it will flow in a large covered main to
the filter beds, eighteen in number,
here tiltering down thr ough layer of
sand at the rate Of two and half
inches an hour, the purified element
then flowing through a second covered
channel to a covered clearwater
reservoir holding about 2.64O,0 900 GAL
Ions, and designed for the purpose Of
equalizing the demand for water, a
much greater quantity being required,
of course, during the dsv than at
night By means of such a reser-
voir the filtration can be carried
on at the same rate at all times, while
any unusual increase IN the demand
for water can be met by the purified
supply thus stored. From this reser-
voir the water is pumped to the service
mains by FIVE compound vertical en-
gines, each able to deliver some twelve
million gallons in twenty-four hours,
and four engines being sufficient for
pumping the estimated maximum sup
ply, wide margin of reserve power
exists for an emergency. The filter
beds are uncovered and are rectangu-
lar in plan as a rule, with sloping
sides of clay protected by brick, and
the filtering material consists of top
layer of sand from two to three and a
quarter feet thick, resting on two feet
of gravel, the water having a depth of
three and quarter feet over this fl
tering material. Each OF the filter
beds has an area of little over eighty
thousand square feet.

Trees on Their Own Roots.

The idea that IN order to get good
varieties of fruit we must bud or
graft from existing trees that are
known to be such, prevails so ex-
tensively that no other system OF
propagation can be said to be in gen.
eral practice. Yet it is true Of the
most Of our fruits that the best as
we'll as the poorest of tho varieties
we have originated as seedlings. Not
a few Of our fruit growers are sus-
pecting that the practice Of budding
and grating has tendency to de-
generation and is at least a case
equally potent with climate changes
and soil exhaustion for loss OF vlgor
and the want of power to resist un-
favorable influences, in which the
fruit trees Of the olden time were
superior to tho OF the present
That grating or budding on stalks
and roots is the only certain method
of reproducing exactly the variety
We wish to perpetuate is freely ad-
mitted but may it not also be true
that the practice should become
more general Of raising fruit trees
from selected trees? In case OF the
peach we may fairly expect. trees
from seeds OF the best varieties to
possess many Of the good qualities OF
the parent stock, and II the vigor,
produetiveness and freedom from dis.
ease Of old time orchards can to any
considerable extent be regained. it il
certainly worth trying for.
That We can originate a variety Of
the apple which will reproduce itself
from the seeds with the same uni.
formity as from its scions is scarcely
to be expected 1t seems reasonable,
however, to believe that by planting
young trees from seeds OF our best
apples short distances apart in the
rows, and leaving them to be tested
in future and then cut out those least
desirable. we may secure orchards Of
excellent fruit and at the same time
mere prolific and longer lived than
many Of the grated and budded
kinds Of the present time. -Colmap':

PRINTERS COMPOSING STICK.

plate of the stick, where it is usually
held in the hand. is connected by a
set screw with the outer end of a bent
rod, whose inner vertical portion is
held in socket formed in a belt
strapped around the body of the COM
positor, the arm being adjustably held
at the desired height by set screw.
In the L-shaped adjustable piece, by
means of which the length of the line
is gulated, and also in the end piece
at the outer end of the line are
grooves about halt-type high, extend
ing in the direction of the length Of
the column. In these grooves slide
Tugs on the end OF yielding mounted
plate, fitting the measure to which the
stick is set, as would a compositor's
rule, but the plate is straight only on
its lower portion, its upper part being
bent or rolled outward to form a
mouth-like opening for conveniently
inserting the type between the plate
and an ordinary printers rule. In
case Of loaded matter, the spacing
lead will answer the purpose of the
printers rule. This enables the COM
position to place the type in position
without following the motion of the
hand with the eye. The ends of a
spring band, extending over part of
the stick, engage the Tugs on the ends
of the sliding plate, and hold it yield
ingly against the type as the line is
being formed, so that it is not neces-
sary to hold each piece in place by the
thumb until the next one is inserted,
and both hands may be used 10 pick
up the type from the case and place
them in position in the stick.

Boring Under the Sea.

The engineering work for construct
Ing a tunnel under the Northumber
land Straits, between Prince Edward
Island and the main and has involved
some test borings to determine the
strata through which the tunnel is
proposed to be cut These borings
were carried on in a tideway, with a
current of four miles an hour. For
this purpose an engine was mounted
on a platform on the top of four
inch pipe, furnished in twenty-foot
lengths which rested on the bottom OF
the straits and was trussed to prevent
bending; heavy guy ropes attached 10
anchors held the pipe upright, after
the manner of setting up derricks for
buildings. The boiler was carried on
a pontoon, and was connected by a
flexible pipe with the engine, which
drove q diamond drill at very high
speed, this drill cutting out cylindri-
cal cores which were raised to the
surface and indicated the character of
the rock which was penetrated. The
line of borings thus made was eight
miles long, extending from Cape Tor
mentine to Cape Traverse, the holes
were driven 1,5OO feet apart, and
showed that the strata to be pene-
trated were soft shsle and sandstone.

Blasting Explosives.

Some OF the essentials of a practic.
able explosive, as enumerated recently
in a lecture by Prof. Cloves, are that
the substances-when employed for
blastlng-be self-contained and burn
independently Of the air: they must be
able to undergo the explosive change
with great rapidity, generating much
gas or vspor and much heat by explo-
sion, and must be compact and easy of
transport, and not generate noxious
or poisonous gases or vapor; when
used in coal mines they must not be
able to fire air containing dust or FIRE
coal damp. Though blasting powder
answers most Of these requirements,
it is unsuitable for the coal mine, be-
cause it ignites fire damp, and the
more powerful dynamite and blasting
gelatine are safer than gunpowder In
this respect Any combustible gas or
vapor can produce an explosion II 1t is
suitably mixed with air. and the mix
ture Is fred. Accidental explosions
occur from this Cause, but the explo-
sive course is also utilized In the gas
and petroleum eAginsA

Observation-Disclosures Pbenomsnon.

A chemico -metallurgical fact of some
interest is mentioned in Iron in con-
nectien with the brass condenser
tubes Of foreign cruiser. 1t seems
that the pipes, after being in use for
more than twelve months, were found
to have experienced peculiar change,
in many places the metal having been
converted into almost pure copper of a
spongy texture, the zinc of the alloy
having completely disappeared. An
investigation which was made showed
the probable cause OF the phenomenon
to have been an electrolytic action be-
tween the tin lining of the tubes and
the brass, the sea water circulating
through the condenser forming the
electrolyte. 1t is suggested that, had
the tin coating remained in a perfect
condition, doubtless no corrosiou
would have taken place. The mud
and grit, however, conveyed in sus-
pension through the condenser carried
away the coating in spots, and it was
at these points that the transforma-
ton of the metal occurred Pipes not
timed would probably have remained
intact.
