MAcADAM'S PRINCIPLES.
He Favored the Slightest Possible
Ccnvexitv Consistent with
Drainage.

/
About 1916 John l.. Macadam
assumed direction of the roads in
Bristol. For manv years previous
to that time he had gwen his atten-
ton to the condition of the roads
aud had put into pratice the prin-
ciples upon which his system is
founded-namelv, "to put broken
stone upon a road, which have
united bv their own angles, so as
to form a solid, hard surface" He
said. ut follows that when that
material is laid upon the road it
must, remain in the situation in
which it is placed without ever be-
ing moved again, and what | find
fault in putting quantities of gravel
ON ou-the~roed-is--thaty'~ aty'~before. It -be-
comes useful, 1T must move in its
situation aud be IN constant mo-
ton.
Mr.. Mecadam insisted that no
greater conveXlty should be given
to the surface of the road in tran
verse section than was sufficient to
cause rain water TO run readily into
the side bitches. When he assumed
charge of the roads in Bristol dis
tricts he found them in a most dis
couraging condition. Stones and
dirt were ntermingled in reckless
disorder, the stones being large
and irregular, and this material
had accumulated for years, till the
roadway was loaded to a depth of
two or three feet. He dug out
the stones, separated them from
the mud, broke them into small,
angular pieces of practically uni
form size, none exceeding six
ounces IN weight; prepared an even
roadbed and then relaid the stones
in uniform layers and kept his men
at work leveling and raking the
broken stones during the whole
period of consolidation.
1t was before the days of road
rollers, and Macadam depended
upon the passing carriages to make
smooth and hard the surface of his
roadway. BY the simple applica-
ton of common sense principles
and without the addition of new
material he provided first for the
effective drainage of the road way,
and then, by the simple manipula-
ton of the materials already half
buried in the line of the roadway,
he brought order out of chaos and
established method of construc.
ton and repair which has supplied
lesson Of economy to the Anglo.
Saxon race.
Macadam believed that the road
surface should be preserved by the
addition of new materials when.
ever required, and that these should
be spread IN thin layers over such
portions of the old road as demand
repair. lie found it better to add
this new material soon after rain
and while the old surface was still
wet, in order to better insure the
binding of tho new material with
the old. 1t was a common custom
with Macadam to lay his broken
stone road so that the separate lay
ers would aggregate ten inches
thick and upward; but 1t is by no
means certain that Macadam be-
lieved such thing to be necessary,
for he Is often quoted as saying
that broken stone roadways, well
consolidated, would sustain the
weight and wear of an ordinary
country traffic when worn to a
thickness of only three or four
inches. i. b. Potter in Good

TO TAKE LONG STRIDES.
A Pedestrian Contest Which Will
Commence Today.

A pedestrian contest, which creates
considerable interest in the circle OF
sport. will commence today, and one
which will prove quite interesting. This
contest is between four sprnters, one of
whom looks as though he had snapped
his lower limbs with crane. and who, II
he does not win, can not attribute his de-
feat to the length of his legs, nut to the
fact that he was not able to secure the
famous mythical seven league boots.
Those to participate in the pedestrian
plunge ara Tom COrlen, Charles Strine,
Louis Erdt and William Stone.
COrlen and Strine are to walk from San
Antonio TO Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and
Erdt and Stone TO New York city. The
first team to beat the latter and the wager
is for $500 under the following terms;
$3.50 goes 10 the first one who shall reach
either destination and the other $3.50 to go
the second one TO reach either deStina
tion. @
SUrine is the man whose stride is nearly
equal to that of the COLOSSUS of Rhodes,
and who is confident that he can make a
race like the tabled hare and tortoise
with results reversed.
They started this afternoon over the
track of the Southern Pacific just behind
the passenger train and the last thing
heard from the party was Strine'S re-
mark: II hate to step over it, wish that
train would move on faster"

A BILL will be introduced in the next
legislature amending the present school
law. Senator Love of the Fifth Dis
trict, it is said, is now preparing a bill
for consideration. 1t favors text books
being furnished the public schools at
public expense. We believe such q
a measure if law would be of great
benefit to the majority of our country
schools. We are aware that many
teachers have to labor under very great
disadvantages on account OF many pu-
pills not being properly supplied with
books. The district pays q teacher for
to do six months of work, and because
of not sufficient books and furnishings
in the schoolhouse. he can only do in
six months what he could otherwise do
do in four. Yes. let the legislature
pass a law making school books the
property of the school district and to
be cared for the same as any other
school property. Not only this. but a
law regulating the appropriate furnish
ing of our school houses would be worth
much to the teacher and blessing of
untold value to the pupils. Piedmont

ought also to provide for clothing and
