Of roads
John London Macadam, the Scotch in

theory that the road needed stone

He drained the roadbed thoroughly and
covered it with a surface. not less than
seven inches in thickness, Of small broken
stone not to exceed the size Of a walnut
Macadam was the first to discover that
stone broken into small segnents would
concentrate into solid mass under pres
sure and form durable surface. The
popularity OF this road soon became
widespread. Over 10000 miles OF II
were built in England in less than 10
years.
II is generally conceded that the stone
road on the macadam plan-that is a
well drained bed covered with small,
uniformly broken stone to the depth OF six
to eight inches. well pressed with heavy
rollers-is the best and cheapest road

A Fashion Of the Time.

Three cases very similar have come to
public notice lately in New York city.
Taken as isolated facts they are sad
enough, but as straws showing which
way the wind Of custom blows they are
OF startling significance. In the higher
ranks of society, as We may suppose,
only a very few Of these facts come to
the surface, but when they do they re-
veal the degrading scenes behind, hidden
away from public gaze.
In each of these cases the chief figure
was woman of education and culture,
moving in refined classes of society and
charming a large circle of admiring
friends. The first was taken from a hotel
in an unconscious condition. suffering
from the effects of prolonged debauch,
TO Bellevue hospital, where she died with
out regaining consciousness. The second
was the wife of an artist
In the police court he told OF his long
suffering in her repeated Welding to the
alcoholic craving and broke down as he
related his devoted attempts to reform
her. The third was found dead in her
room. Alcoholism was the cause. These
three isolated cases, happening almost
simultaneously, indicate a deplorable
state Of affairs and speak more than .
volume would of existing customs which
are becoming the fashion Of the times

New York Wants State Roads.

The experience OF every well informed
man teaches that in each and every case
where good roads have been constructed
property has advanced 10 such an extent
as TO make the improvement cost ALSO
lutely nothing Take, for instance, the
building Of the Riverside drive in the
city Of New York Before the drive " as
projected lots could be bought along the
driveway at e. coo per lot At this time
they are sold at 81, 900. Many wealthy
citizens Of New York have purchased
lots IN the vicinity Of Lenox, Mass be-
cause of the good roads in that section.
Many have also purchased in the state Of
Connecticut for the same reason.
Within the limit Of the state CT New
York, with its beautiful lakes and grand
mountains, we have sections SURPRISING
in beauty those Of any other state. I
believe it would be safe TO say that more
than 100000 per year Of the money
now expended in Europe by wealthy
citizens Of New York state would be e1-
pended in this state, if state roads were
constructed as designed by the Richard
son bill
The Richardson bill provides that the
question Of building state roads shall be
submitted to the people Of the state 1t
is an insult to the intelligence Of the
people Of the state and an implied doubt
as to their Judgment to refuse to allow
them to be heard at the polls in this or
any other matter Of great public con-
cern.-Cor. New York Tribune.

One Way to Get Good Rosds

Cannot congress stretch a point and
place the control Of highways in the
hands Of the federal government, either
for possible strategic purposes or pur-
poses Of interstate commerce? 1t would
then be comparatively easy to find work
for many Of the unemployed in building
roads where most needed. and as in that
case the work would be done under su-
pervision Of the United States corps Of
engineers uniformity and economy
would be attained.
Our roads are, generally speaking, .
byword and q reproach, and their bad
ness cannot be excelled in the civilized
portion Of the world, except by those Of
some Of the South American republics.
Tho states benefited might be made to
bear q certain proportion Of the expenses,
and could such plan be carried out we
would not only relieve much Of the dis
tress, preventing possibly starvation
riots, but give good roads to country
