Road Material In EInriLn.

Towns ill Florida havo great boon in the so called paving clay foun1 near Barlow and elsewhere farther south. It is not solely clay. but n combination of sand, clay and oxide of iron. It breaks up under the pick when dug and needs no other preparation to be put upon the sandy streets of Floridian towns It is laid on several inches deep, wet and then rolled. The result is a hard, smooth surface that resists the wear of traffic. Railway companies in Florida have used the material for the ap- breaches to stations and for crossings.

 all of the racers. Wheels which are sent unpackod in baggage cars arc always liA- ble to be ''stOve up" or broken, so that the racers carry their wheels in trunks for protection as well as for economy. The trunks are built to endure rough treat ment, and they cost from $10 upward each

 THE wholesale price of beef has advanced slightly. The retail dealers have made no advance in the price, but will do so if the wholesalers push the price any higher. At this season of the year there is usually a slight advance in the price of beef, but this winter beef has been considerably higher than it was a year ago. The retail dealers say they know of no reason why the price should be advanced at this time. but the shippers make the prices The crops in the west for the past two seasons have been light and this would have a tendency to make dear beef, but at the same timo pork is cheaper now and it has been all winter away below what it was at this sea- son last yesS, ard it requires grain to raise pork as we'll as beef. A wholesalel dealer. when asked about the advance. said that not only meat but everything else would increase in price. During the hard times of the past two years the price of every thing reached rock bottom. The tendency now is to increase all along the line.

Elec.ricity,s New Starting Point

1t must not be supposed that the
new electricity represented by Nikola
Tesla is iconoclastic. In the minds of
great many people of culture the
idea prevails that invention is as large
ly process of pulling down as OF
building up and electricity, in spread
ing from one branch of industry to
another, encounters the prejudice that
always rebutIs the innovator. The as.
sumption is false. 1t may be true that
in the gladitorial arena where the
principles OF science contend, one
party or the other always succumbs
and drags out its dead; but in the
arts long survival is the law for all the
any notable utility. 1t simply becomes
question of the contracting sphere
within which the old apparatus is
hedged by the advent of the new; and
that relation once established by
processes complex and long continued,
capable even of mathematical determ-
ination, the two go on together, CON-
plimentary in their adjustment to
specific human needs. In its latest
outgrowths, electrical application ex.
emplifies this. After many years use
of dynamo electric machinery giving
what is known as the continuous cur
rent" the art has reached the conclu-
sion that only with the alternating
current" can it fulfill the later duties
laid upon it, and accomplish the
earlier tasks that remain untouched.
With the continuous current we have
learned the rudiments of lighting and
power distribution. With the alter
mating current, manipulated end
coaxed to yield its highest efficiency,
we may solve the problems of aerial
and marine navigation by electricity,
operate large railway systems, trans.
NIT the energy of Niagara hundreds of
miles, and. in Mr.. Tesla's own phrase,
shook our machinery directly to that

In winter Labrador is simply frozen
ont from the rest Of the world. One
"komitick," or dog-sled, mail reaches
some of the more southerly settle-
ments late in the spring. The
Moravian missionaries ut the Eskimo
villages further north endeavor at
least once n winter to visit by komi-
tick the few scattered white settlers
within hundred miles or so of the
missions. Sometimes the komitick is
ovortaken by severe snowstorm be-
fore shelter can he obtained. Then
the missionary and his Eskimo driver
dig deep ditch down in the snow,
and camp in the bottom. The gases
from the campfire prevent the snow
from floating in, and the travellers are
sheltered from the icy blasts. At
Battle Bnrbor, Labrador, where there
is a church there are only two
churches, think, on the Labrador
coast south OF the Moravian missions),
they have public sewing machine,
and one long winter, when the
kerosene oil supply became very low,
the women gathered at the parsonage
and did their sewing by the parsonage
lamp. As the Battle Harbor mission
is too poor to furnish tte wee church
with bell, the rector signals the call
to service with fag. Eigh among
the rocks at Little Bay, Newfound-
land, I saw two little churches One
of these had q small belfry perched

Franks of Flor ida Wood.Rats.

The latest narrative OF the queer
doings of the Florida wood-rat, the
best-known of them all, comes from
Mrs. G. F. Latham, of Micco, Florida.
Previous to the destruction by fire of
the old Oak Lodge, year before last,
it was often visited by pair OF very
sociable and quite harmless wood.rats,
who nested in palmetto but near by,
and made it their home until some
cats came into the family. The wood
rats were big-eyed, handsome creatures
without the vicious look of common
rat, with fine, yellow ,sh-gray fur,
white feet, aud white under parts.
Inasmuch as they never destroyed
anything save pair OF Mrs. Latham's
shoe-strings, which they had to cut in
order to get them out OF the eyelet-
holes, they were tolerated about the
premises, and here are some OF the
queer things they did.
They carried some watermelon seeds
from the lower floor, and hid them
upstairs under Mr.. Baxter's pillow.
In the kitchen they found some
cucumber seeds, and OF these they
took tablespoonful and deposited
them in the pocket OF Mr.. Baxters
vest, which hung upstairs on nail.
In one night they took eighty.ive
pieces of wood from box OF beehive
fixtures, and laid them in corn-box.
The following night they took about
two quarts OF corn aud oats, aud put
it into the box from which they bee
hive fixtures came. Once Mrs. Lath-
am missed handful of pecans. aud
they were SO thoroughly hidden that
she never found them. About year
later the rats realized that Mrs. Lath-
am had "given it up" and 10 the
pecans suddenly appeared one day
upoa her bed !-St. Nicholas.
