Limestones are both good and bad.
The softer limestones wear rapidly, form
a good road on which mud collects and
yield rapidly to the effects Of weather.
The upland, or 1nonn tain limestones, on
the other hand, are frequently well
adapted for use as road metal. They
bind quickly and make a smooth and
durable roadway. The rubbing and
wearing of limestones form dust
which, when wet, becomes a sort Of NOR
tar, filing the spaces between the pieces
Of stone and consolidating the entire
roadway into solid and sometimes into
q durable crust. Some of the best lime
stones are found in the Devonian and
the older silnrian rocks.
GRANTEES generally Inferior because of
excessive brittleness due to the feldspar
contained IN it, but syenitic granite of
ten makes an excellent road metal.
Sandstones are generally inferior, but
some sandstones contain iron, which
hardens and toughens them, and in these
exceptional cases sa1dstenes may bel used

tract to deliver them early on Tuesday
morning at so much per head, and he
was largely depending on Cinch to
help him Cinch was the scrapper of the
house. He was a tall, broad shouldered
man, with frousy head and rough
beard, somewhat bleached from long
ity for liquor, his ability as a fighter and
his supreme antipathy to work made him
a natural leader among the bleary guests
of the Monica, who had been gathered to-
gether that they might exercise their ghts
as free born citizens. When a man came
|khome raving full Of stale beer, 1t was the
duty of Cinch to choke him until he
was quiet and then jam him into one Of
the hunks. If a member of the colony went
astray and threatened to desert before cleo
ton day, it was Cinch who went out
among the barrel houses until he caught
the offender and brought him homo in dis
grace.
| 1t was clear that Cinch had in him the
| making Of practical politician of great
value. He proved this by selling out at
| the right time.
The news reached Tommy on the eve of
| election. The proprietor did not live at
| the Monica. He had rooms in another
building farther to the north, On the dead
| line between the business houses and the
lava beds. At least once a day, however,
| he came to his hotel to look after his bust
ness affairs and the herd of voters. 1t was
a wearing responsibility, for he knew very
! well that as the voting hour drew neal
the agents Of the corrupt opposition would
| be among his followers, attempting to lurf
them away with drinks and brides. There
can be no greater disgrace for q working
politician than to lodge man for two
weeks before election and then lose his
| vote on election morning. He becomes al
object of contempt, and in the next figh
no money ia ''placed'' with him. Tommy
believed that his forces were true to him
Here, on the night before election, most O
the men were in the house, the others wer
almost sure to turn up before morning ant
Cinch was full Of hopeful promises.
Tommy sat apart from the others, smok
ing long cigar vigorously, SO as to xii
the other odors, when he felt a hand lait
on his shoulder Turning about, he say

An important item in the making Of a

careful consideration, since it relates to
the wearing surface of the roadway, and
upon the quality of the stone used will
largely depend the life of the macadam
crust and its smoothness. a hard stone
should be used-not hard in the sense
that it is brittle, for many brittle stones
are quite unfit for use as road metal, but
rather a stone Of tough texture, such
