ROADS IN EUROPE.
The Three Varieties OF Material Used In
Their Construction.

Their Cohstruction.
The materials out of which roads are
made in Europe may be classed under
three varieties-trap or basalt. gran
ties, including some Of the harder sedi-
mentary rocks. and limcstoncs. Where
the first two are easily obta,nable they
are exclusively used, trap being pre-
fcrred to the GRANTEES. In many re-
gions limestone, being the only mate
rial at hand, has to be employed.
Trap, having the densest and hardest
structure, makes the most durable
road. Being more resistant to crush
ing force and least affected by frost, IL
is particularly adapted to roads which
are used for heavy teaming, outwear-
ing granite for this purpose. The
harder rocks of The granite series
make very serviceable roads even Tor
teaming, and excellent ones for driving.
One of the smootllest and most agreea-
BILE roads l have ever ridden over was
made of rd-baked, fesh-colored
argillaceous rock, the texture of which
resembled that of fine-grained brick.
Limestone roads, at their best, are
the finest of all for driving and riding
purposes. Not so hard as the trap and
granite roads, they possess certain
degree of elasticity, in virtue of which
the carriage or bicycle rolls over them
with less jar and with peculiar ease
of motion which exerts a most pleasing
effect, the nearest approach to which
is that experienced III riding on a good
asphalt pavement. This elasticity ie
most marked at that period after n rair
when the surface has set thoroughly
but has not become dry enough to be
rubbed into dust. Unfortunately, ow-
ing to the softness of the material,
limestone roads deteriorate rapily and
require constant care to keep them in
good order. They also soften easily
under the action of frost and water, so
that in the spring and during rainy
seasons they are liable to become
heavy.

in Germany. The rock is carted to the
desired spot in pieces twelve to
eighteen inches in diameter and there
are broken up by the road-repairers

inches in diameter, and piled in little
heaps ready for use.

work. Openings are left for the head
and feet, and it now crawls about car
rying its artificial case and devouring
several victims each day. The full
grown larva is much larger than a
bark louise and as it grows it's case is
built out with silk and fragments Of it's
victims.
When full-grown it searches for a
favorable position in which to fasten
its case casually selecting the angle
formed by two branches or a large
crevice in the bark), prepares it's CO.
coon and transforms to puma. Before
transforming, however, the larvae pre-
pares Il point of exit for the future
moth. Upon emerging from the CO.
,oon the moth falls to the ground.
Three or four minutes later it's
wings expand and it flies up among the
branches. During daylight it remains
inotionless, holding its wings close
to its body. The possibility of trans
porting the insects from place to place
has received attention. 1t is found
that the half-grown larvae will live
eight days without nourishment. Nor
will they DESTROY each other as is the
case with most carnivorous larvae.
Placed in bottles they can be trans
ported long distances, and at the end
of the journey need only to be placed
upon plants or trees infested with bark
lice. The cocoons containing full
grown Larvae will also stand a journey
of eightor ten days. In winter the
raaoons Gr eggs can be sent great dis
tances, and there is no reason why they
cannot be acclimated in all countries
where the Injurious bark lice prevail.

engraved from Insect Life, issued by

culture, genealogical section.

the internal organs, leaving only the

A SIMPLE FlRE-ESCAPE.
1t Can be Used Without Danger of In
fringing Patent,

1t Can be Used Without Danger of In
fringing "A Patent,
The American patent office records
show, in recent years, u considerable
waste of inventive energy in devices
for fre-escapes. The iron balcony and
stairway feature to give crowds rapid
exit where haste is necessary was pub
licly suggested nine years before the
modified spiral form came into use.
But the handling of large crowds from
upper halls, school rooms, etc. is one
thing and the means of exit down the
outside of a burning building of few
persons, where no considerable en-
pense can be incurred in stationary
structures, is quite another. Many of
the devices that inventive ingenuity
has suggested are SO complicated that
only an expert under calm conditions
could operate them: many are entirely
impracticable, and if among the pat
ented contrivances anyone really fills
the bill. it has not come under the
writer's notice.
A simple, easily procured, inexpen-
sive and entirely practical means of es-
cape from upper stories may be found
in a stout duck sack and strong ma
nilla rope. The sack should be deep
and wide enough to hold several per-
sons and have rope we'll bound around
the top to which the rope bail is at
tached. If no appliance be provided to
hold Il stout rail across the window on
the inside, then several turns must be
taken around some article of furniture,
wife and children dumped into the
sack, the husband paying out the rope
and letting them down. The sack is
then drawn up when the remaining
occupant goes into the sack with the
slack end of the rope, and paying it Out
let's himself down. Rope and sack will
pass unhurt past considerable sheets
of flame from windows below, and if
occasionally treated to II strong solu-
tion of alum water, or even strong
brine, are of difficult ignition. The
deep sack dispcls the feeling of fear in
not beholding the dizzy height. and
also protects from flame IN passing
windows. Every window shovld have
strong staples into which rait can be
inserted, and which should he ever
