bethought himself of a plan that has
been worked before, but rarely, and got
the consent Of the canal authorities to its
operation. Then he hired two tugs. They
stationed themselves just outside the
sill, worked their screws for some littl
time, and backed such an amount OF
water into the lock as to enable the big
steamer, which had meanwhile lightered
about two inches by blowing off one OF
her boilers to float into the lock. She
went through without touching.

before there Is any sign of disease

CRUSHED STONE ROADS.
What an Illinois Road Commissioners
Knows About Them.


Knows About Them.
Our gravel beds, which n few years
ago supplied us with excellent gravel
for road purposes, have gradually de-
generated TO cobblestone. Something
had 20 be done, and our commissions
purchased crusher and put IL TO GO
ing on this stone. Much to their sur
prise, as well as to the rest of us, the ma
chine easily turned out yard of splen-
did road material every five minutes.
They hired a traction engine at S5 a
day TO furnish power. Ii furnished
power and could have run another
crusher at the same time. The follow
ing details may interest highway COM
missioners having TO contend with too
much coarse stone in their gravel beds:
We crushed yard of stone every
i've minutes, paying S. day for power.
Six shovelers fed the crusher. The
material was elevated into the wagons,
therefore but one handling was re-
CURED. The advantages over the old
way of road making in this locality
were almost too numerous TO mention.
We can keep our pit in the best possi-
BILE shape and leave 1t in that condition
for the next time. With little head
work by the commissioner In imme-
date control, teams need not wait
thirty seconds for chance TO load.
Under the old way there were too often
two TO five teams at SO a day standing
still waiting for others TO be loaded.
There Is no time wasted In throwing
stone back at the pit or raking them
out of the road after being hauled on.
Generally they are not ralsed out at all.
A crushed stone road is far superior
20 the ordinary gravel road and easier
kept in repair. AS matter OF fact,
we now build crushed-stone road
cheaper than we did gravel road.
The reader can figure from this data:
Power per day, IS; yard crushed every
five minutes; shovelers and haulers are
the same, whether you use crushed
rock or gravel, and of course need not
be counted. -John II. King, In Chicago
Tribune.
