Chandelier of Human Bones.

In the center of the arched roof Of AL
Saints church, Sodlitz, in Bohemia, hangs
chandelier constructed entirely of human
bones. Tho church in which this remark
able object is suspended is decorated from
the floor TO the ceiling with the blanchcd
bones Of human bodies. GarlandS of bones
stretch across the walls and hang from the
ceiling. Pyramids topped with golden
crowns, are artistically reared from the
ground with these Whitcned remains Of the
dead. The affairs are literally covered with
skulls, among which are hundreds of those
which had been pierced by bullets or
crushed by murdcrouS blows from swords
and other weapons, dcnoting that these
grim relics Of humanity have been gath

Tradition says that these piles of human
bones were gathered 10y blind friar Of the
Cistcrcien order, who stored them in a cor

changing into their original clements, a
man named Rint devoted Himself to the
task OF cleaning and arranging them in

National Aid For Roads.

At tho present time there is a general
demand for better roads, and particular.
ly better highways, leading into oul
principal towns, over which the farm
ers have TO haul their productions to
reach the stations and shipping points
This agitation seeks to awake feeling
of interest in behalf OF the support of
the national government by granting
substantial aid TO secure better roads.
No class has a deeper interest in this
question than the farmers. Some object
to the national government taking hold
Of such enterprises as not contemplated
in the constitution, but this argument
loses its force owing to the fact thar
the government has built such high
ways, and they are tho best roads in ex-
istence today. One of the principal of
those is the sreat national road from
Washington to ST Louis, which proved
a greater boou and blessing to those
who lived within It's reach than anY

ing about five tons is about the proper

Rolling should follow closely upon
the work of the road grader or scraper,
so as to consolidate all the loose earth
which the action of the scraper has laid
in the line Of the roadway. The roller
should pass many times over the softer
portions of the road, and where the road
is very dry and not inclined to pack it
may be slightly moistened to hasten the
action of the roller. The rolling should
begin at the sides of the road and work
gradually toward the center-that is,
the roller should be passed from end to
end along the side Of the road, and then
the second passage Of the roller should
slightly lap the first until the center of
the road is reached

The Highways of Ecuador.

The student may find much to con-
template and commiserate and equally
nothing TO emulate in the condition of
public roads in some Of the countries
in this hemisphere. Ecuador is a notable
example of the decadence Of this gener-
alton in South America in respect to
roads. The Incas built splendid cause
ways through that country, but these
the people Of today have allowed by
neglect TO disappear almost entirely.
Quito, the capital is about the only
place in the country where carts may
be seen. Even here they are recent
innovation and but a few years ago a
gentleman was fined for using one, be-
cause it injured the roads. The roads,
what few there are, are but mule paths
and are only passable during the dry
season. That from Quito TO its port,
Guavaquil, Is entirely impossible for
merchandise during the six or seven
months Of the rainy season. and pas
seugers only undertake to traverse il

Broad Tires as street Improvers.

The street department Of Maiden,
Mass. has done a good thing in placing
wheels with broad tires upon its wafer
ing carts, the gauge Of the forward pair
just enough narrower than the rear pair
to make the tracks of the former come
inside the latter. This gives a consider
able rolling surface. The heavy carts
are thus made to serve two valuable
purposes, for, in addition to their regu-
lar function, their weight, being exerted
upon a broad tread, makes first class road
rollers Of them. Heavy vehicles, as a
rule, in this country are very destruct-
i've Of roadway by reason of their fool
ish equipment with narrow ties. But
these watering carts, with their wide
tires, will have the effect of constantly
improving tho street surface the moro
they pass over it. The example thus set
is one that other cities and towns would
do well to follow Boston Herald.
