MOVEMENT FOR ROAD REFORM.


Public Sentiment Profound and Universal.
Organization Needed.
The latest phase of the agitation for
road improvement-the calling Of
meeting at Chicago during dedication
week.-Mrs. for the purpose of uniting
the friends Of the movement throughout
the country in national league for good
roads.
This proposition advanced with some
hesitation by the writer) has been taken
up with great enthusiasm; the call for
the meeting was signed by the most &C
tive road organizations in the country,
by boards of trade, agricultural societies,
members of congress and others; the
management Of the exposition promised
its hearty cooperation, and there is
every prospect of valuable results.
The importance of this movement
cannot be overestimated. The public
sentiment in favor of road reform is pro-
found and universal, but as to exact
methods and ways and means it is all at
sea and brings no practical influence to
bear anywhere. If it can once be massed
and crystallized upon definite measures
it will be irresistible. This can only be
accomplished by organization, reaching
every interest concerned and especially
the farmers.
Heretofore the latter have held seme-
what aloof from the movement under
the apprehension that the chief burden
of building roads would fall upon them
and be more than they could bear, but
if they take advantage of this oppor-
tunity and organize in every school dis
trict they will be in great majority in
the national league and safe from any
adverse action, while they will have the
satisfaction of being largely their own
deliverers.
They can feel assured in advance that
their labor will not be in vain, and that
means will be found, satisfactory to
them, to accomplish the work and dis
tribute its burdens, and that when they
decide what they can do and what help
they want, that help will be forthcom-
ing. Already various plans for state
and national aid to road building have
been proposed and received with favor,
and it only requires thorough discussion
to develop others and decide upon the
best
When this end is gained, and the peo-
pie speak with one voice, legislation is
easy, and the work for good roads being
swell begun" will be "half DONE"

Good Roads Cost Money.

A good road costs great deal of
money, it is true, but not so much as a
poor one. The money wasted on the
wretched country roads of the central
states since their settlement, if judi
ciously expended would have built the
same mileage of roads equal in quality
to the best Roman military roads. 1t is
almost a pity that we could not have
had julius Caesar and his army with us
during the first fifty years of our exist
ence.-Exchange.

Measuring Muscle strength.

A dynamometer for the measure,
ment Of muscular strength is being
introduced for gymnasium purposes.
In future there will be no cropping in
the dark when the young college ath,
lete is taken in hand by his trainers
for preparation for the boat race OF
the football match. Every important
muscle in his body can be tested, and
its strength or weakness at once in
dicated. In this way mans weak
point is discovered without serious
loss Of time, and special attention
can thenceforward be directed to-
ward the dwelling up" Of his phys
iQue. The old method Of testing a
mans muscle by its size, or even by
its hardness, will no longer be used,
and strength tests will supersede those
unreliable systems of measurement.
The muscular strength Of the various
portions Of the arms and legs can
now be differentiated. AS a sample
instance Of the possibilities Of the
new method, it may be stated that
by ascertaining the strength Of the
abductors Of the leg by the dyna.
mometer a bad gait can promptly be
cured, as the proper exercise for the
weakened muscles can at once be de.
termined. The dynamometer is hung
on two heavy iron rods, placed in a
vertical position, with their ends
fastened securely to the floor. 1t can
be adjusted to any height--to the
waist, feet, or neck. The muscles
tested act directly upon a lever which
is connected with piston working
in a chamber filled with oil The
pressure is transmitted to a column
Of mercury, and the result in pounds
Is recorded in a slender glass tube.

A Miraculous EscaDe.

A miner by the name of Griffith had
an extremely narrow escape from a
horrible death in a mine in Washing
ton State the other day. Griffith was
at work on slope when pieces of coal
weighing about 1850 pounds became
detached above him and started down
the slope toward Griffith, whose only
escape lay in running down the slope
ahead Of the lump of coal, 1t soon be-
came q race for life with the coal in
creasing its speed at every bound and
adding to the terrors of the flying Crit
fifth. Half way down the slope the
speed at which Griffith was going ex-
tinguished the lamp inAhis hat and left
him in the dark. He continued his
flight, in which lay his only safety,
and, after running for what seemed an
age, he stumbled on one of the side
beams and fell expecting to be instant
ly crushed to death. The coal came
on, and, by miracle, was checked by
the timber, but in lammiug caught one
of poor Grifith's legs against the tim
Der, breaking the bone in two places.
Help soon came down to the man and
he was carried out and cared for.
