goes without saying, but from what point

ROADS OF ANTIQUITY.
Those BuIit by the Medieval Peruv'sus
Were the Most Magnificent.


Those BuIit by the Medieval Peruv'aus
Were the Most magninccnt.
Perhaps the earliest road on record
Is that mentioned by Herodotus as
living been constructed by Cheops,
the Egyptian king, in order that stones
might be dragged along it for his pyr-
amid. In the opinion of the Greek
traveller the work of making the road
was as great as that of building the
pyramid, for it took ten years to con-
struct, and IL was made of polished
stones with figures carved on them.
But, according to the London Standard,
this does not compare in magnitude
with the highways constructed by the
Peruvians, while medieval Europe was
still in a state of semi-barbarous disor-
ganization. The two principal roads
in Peru ran from Quito in the north to
Cuzco, the capital, the one along the
sandy and level strip of coast, the other
along the plateau of the Andes, a re-
gion of unparalleled engineering diff
Guilty. The length of the second has
been estimated at from 1,5O0 to 1000
miles. 1t crossed sierras buried in
snow, bridged ravines with walls of
solid masonry, mounted and descended
precipices by staircases hewn in the
solid rock and ran in interminable gal
leries along the sides of intractable
mountains. Where rivers had to be
crossed bridges were made with ropes
of stout, plant osier twisted to the
thickness of mans body and stretched

lance of 200 feet. These cables swung
side by side, and, fastened with planks
so as to form a footway, were drawn
through holes in enormous buttresses
Of stone specially constructed on each
bank, and were secured firmly at each
end to heavy beams of timber. A rail-
ing of similar osier material gave the
passenger confidence as he crossed the
oscillating bridge that sank danger
ously in the middle and mounted rap
idly at the sides. The great highway
was twenty feet wide, and was built
with flags of freestone covered with
bituminous cement. 1t was measured
out by posts set up at every league;
caravansaries and magazines were sta
toned at convenient distances for the
Peruvian soldiers on their military ex.
petitions; and regular postal service
had been organized by which highly
trained runners, relieved every five
miles, could convey messages dis
lance of 200 miles in the twenty-four
hours. The roads were kept in beauti-
full order, the inhabitants of district
being responsible for that portion of
the highway which traversed their
land. At the same time it should be
remembered that there was no wheel
traffic to cut up the level surface of the
hard pavement. There is considerable
irony in the fact that it was not till
the Spaniards forcibly introduced their
so-called civilization into Peru that
the famous roads began to fall into dis
repair.

harley rs Stock Feed.

Barley that is suitable for mailing
always brings too high price to make
1t pay for feeding. But there is al
ways a part of the crop that is too
light to be profitably matted, or that
has been too much injured by rains for
that use. Barley terminates more
quickly than any other grain. If the
germ has once started to grow the
barley cannot be matted, and can only
be used for feeding. In England much
barley Is used for fattening hogs, and
kind of barley that grows very
heavy but is not good for mailing is
sown to be used for feeding. 1t is the
English substitute for Indian corn,
and we think not SO good for fattening
as corn is. Barley is more carbon
aceous than any other grain except
ing corn. 1t is not SO good for growing
pigs as ground oats, and even for hogs
that are fattening some oats mixed
with it is an improvement.-Ru
