Bad Roads the More Expensive.

The question of road improvement re-
solves itself at last into this-roads cost
money, good roads cost a good deal Of
money. Those who are willing to stand
the ess@nse can get them-others cannot.
It is urged with much plausibility that
bad roads are more expensive than good
ones. To convince community of this
is the first step necessary to obtaining
good roads. ds.-Louisville Courier-J Journal.

Male Men.

In speaking of a social to be given
by the male members of the Congre-
gational church we used the express
sion "male men" to which the Sauk
Centre Avalanch takes exception and
says:
Is it possible that there are
so many "manly women at the
Falls that the only way the sexes
can be distinguished is by calling
them "male and female men, Per-
haps city editor Workman can ex-
plain.

The Cost of Good Roads Lessening.

Data already gathered show that new
roads are already constructing in many
parts of the country, and that increased
knowledge and skill, improved machin-
cry and methods and extended practical
experience are rapidly lessening the cost
of good roads. Civil Engineer Harrison
of Asbury Park, N. j., is authority for
the statement that while two or three
years ago the cost of roadbuilding was
$4,000 per mile it was last year $500
per mile. Professor j. B. Hunnicut Of
the University of Georgia, in response to
an inquiry from the road bureau of the
agricultural department., states that the
cost of good, hard roads recently built
in Georgia, providing for track Of stone
and one Of earth, was 81, 200 mile. Su-
pervisor Chaplin of Canandaigua, N. y,
in a letter to General Roy Stone, reports
that 10 miles of single track stone
road, with an earth track each side, was
built in that town for $500 mile.
Active interest in the movement for
better roads is shown by the railroads
generally. Special reduced rates are Of
fered by many Of the railroads, and a
tabulated statement of the various con-
cessions in shipment rates by a large
number of companies has been prepared.

Does Water Run Uphill

That water should run uphill is
popularity supposed to be as impos-
sible as it seemed to Macbeth that
"Birnam wood should come to Dun
sinane" In fact it is q favorite IL
lustration of the impossibility OF q
thing being done. But it is fact
that the Mississippi does run uphill;
that is, it's mouth is higher than it's
source. The equatorial radius OF
the earth is thirteen miles greater
than the polar. The distance on the
circumference from either pole to the
equator is 1925 miles, making tie
upgrade fraction over two miles
to the thousand. The Mississippi is
$500 miles long, and the mouth
would therefore be five miles farther
from the centre OF the earth than it's
source. Docs not that mean that it
runs uphill? In going from the
Twin Cities to ST. Louis the river
| would run uphill about a mile. But
if you should make the journey over
the Burlington line, yOu would
never realize that you were making
an ascent. SO slight is the grade OF
the road, and SO smooth the track.
The most beautiful river scenery in
the West lies along this route. In
going south ask your agent for
tickets via. the Burlington Route,
and for any further information adj

The Science of Roadmaking.

It is a happy and hopeful indication
that the prominent engineering schools
of America are giving closer attention
to the study of practical methods Of road
making. When we consider the fact
that thousands of engineers in European
countries are given constant and lucra-
tive employment in the construction and
care of streets and roads, and that SIM
liar field of engineering work is likely to
be opened in this country within the
near future, it is evidence Of good fore
sight on the part Of our American col
leges that their technical instructors are
giving more emphasis to this branch of
practical work.-Good Roads.
