NEW ROAD MATERIAL.
Refuse Molasses Used with Considerable
success I'm Utah,

Refuse AIolasses Used with Considerable
success Ia Utah.
The Utah Sugar company has begun
u novel use for the waste product from
the works ut I.chi. known us by-prod-
,ict, or molasscs. Roads are actually be-
ing constructed with the sirups, which
are valueless us sugar producers, the
life having been extracted. The mo-
lasscs il used us n cement, the body Of
the road material being made up Of
gravel. This new method was first used
on the road leading from the country
road to the sugar factory, and the travel
over this thoroughfare since the open
ing OF the sugar season has demon
strated the value OF the sirups and
gravel us materials for the improve
nent of roads. The piece of road that
has been 80 improved is as hard rs
macadam. and even the heaviest loaded
wagons do not cut it up. The sirups
ARE first poured over the roadway TO
ie improved, and then II layer of gravel
Ia sprinkled on. More sirup and gravel
follow in their turn, until the road Is
in perfect condition. There seems tn be
just sufficient potash salts in the mo-
lasses to give IL the necessary cement
ing qualities.
This making of roads and walks with
refuse sirups from sugar factories has
also been successfully tried in Cali
fornia. 1t is not at all unlikely that ut
the end of the present season the COM
lany will make more improvements on
the roads Leading to the factory. At
first the molasses showed n tendency
to ooze up through the gravel, but the
application Of an extra coating of
gravel remedied this and made the roud
as smooth MS u floor and MS hard Us

HORRORS"
Said to Be Quite Reverse to
Kennan's Pictures.
Happy Existence OF Convicts Even in
Cases of Most Serious 0Henses.

LONDON, Jan. 10-Henry De WiDdt. the
traveller and journalist, refutes the state
ments OF George Kennan In regard TO ST.
berian prison life. He gives surprs-
ingly attractive picture of the prisoners In
Siberia. Describing typical political
prison, that at Akatr, In the Nertchinsk
mining district, he says that the prisoners
are confined in roomy, well-lighted ana
warmed cells, decorated with jugs filled
with flowers that had been picked by the
prisoners while en- route to their work In
the mines, n mile distant.
The convicts march TO their work daily,
smoking and singing choruses. They have
three good meals daily and are supplied
with an unlimited quantity of beer at
dinner. Only three of the prisoners wore
chains, which weighed seven pounds, and
these were removed during their work In
the mines. The condition of the mines Is
quite as good and the labor less than In
English miues. The men sleep on mat
tresses and pillows. There is no work
done on Sundays and saints days, and
concerts and plays are given.
A Few Examples.
Mr. De Windt gives the following in
stances TO show the cheerful existence of
even the most desperate convcts: Gottze,
the leader of the Yakutsk prison mutiny
In 1880, lives in n large well-lighted cell.
He is supplied with writing materials
and receives parcels of Russian. French,
German and English books His wife
lives In the village, and is allowed to see
