QUEER MATERIAL FOR ROADS.
Cotton Cloth Employed in the Construc-
ton of Highways.

Cotton CiOCn EnptoyeO III tho SoAA'oA w
ton of Highways.
One of the materials used by the
Massachusetts, highway commission III
making roads at Martha's Vineyard is
cotton cloth, sa,y S the New York Post.
In localities where the soil Is sandy
much stone has hitherto been wasted,
the sand forming a loose and shifting
bed on which the stone made very little
impression. Gravel spread to depth
of three or four inches over the sand
was found to afford a stable medium
between sand and stone, but at Martht.' S
Vineyard gravel was not obtainable:
hence the experiment with cotton cloth.
This material is even better for the pur-
pose than the gravel, as none Of the
sand works through to the stone. The
following information about road con
struction in Massachusetts, has been
furnished the National Agricultural
Board by the commission: Before the
Massachusetts, highway commission was
established many towns were obliged
to maintain long stretches of highways
of little Importance to them, but used
as ways of communication between
large centers Outside of the cities
there are little more than twenty
thousand miles of roads in Massachu-
sets. 1t is estimated that from ten to
fifteen per cent. of this number are
roads directly connecting the towns and
large centers, and such as might reason
ably be asked for as state highways
Fully fifty per cent. of the annual APP
preparation for highways is expended
for the maintenance of these intertown
roads, which should go for town ways.
At all angles in the road are being
placed monuments, six feet long, six
inches square on top, and dressed twelve
inches from the top. On one side are
cut the letters, NJ. H. B., standing for
Massachusetts, highway board. The
monuments are set five feet under
ground"

days He is most attractive figure,

tidious man, and on those robes is never

It's Movements Carefully Noted by Skilled

Messrs. Ricco and Arcidiacono have
been observing during the past three
years, at the observatory of Catania,
Sicily, the variations of level of the the
water in a well, says the Cosmos of
Paris. They classify the movements
into progressive annual movements and
accidental movements, and occupy
themselves especially with the latter,
which they subdivide into meteoric and
geodynamic. These latter consist of
feeble but marked changes of level,
generally by lowering of the surface,
corresponding to various movements of
the ground. Shortly before the erup-
ton of Etna in 1892, and during several
months afterward, the oscillations of
level were extremely irregular. Of 80

correspondent to notable oscillations of
the tronometer. Prof. King, in the
United States, has made observations of
the same nature in Wisconsin. There
the oscillations were due not to natural
movements of the ground, but to its
disturbance by heavily loaded trains
passing within, about so yards Of the
well. Under these circumstances the
water rose invariably sometimes by a
quarter of centimeter about one

March came in that eventful year of
1911; and when the morning of the
Goth dawned all Paris was in the streets.
For like wildfre spread the rumor;
there is baby at the Tuileries. Every
hour the crowd grew denser. At open
windows, along the streets, in the great
garden of the Tuileries, people waited
expectant listening for the voice Of the
cannons Of the Invalid soldiers home
to tell whether the baby was a boy or a
girl. Of course everyone hoped it was a
boy for that meant an heir to the throne
of France-their future emperor.
At the first boom, says st. Nicholas,
a mighty silence fell upon the listening
city. Every one stopped, intent, anx-
ious. One-two-three, they counted.
Boom, boom! went the guns up to nine

Novel Advertising Scheme.

a novel scheme of advertising ia
accomplished by means of the tricycle..
A French inventor is using the ma.
chine for printing various trade state.
ments on the payements of Paris. This
feat is accomplished by means of i'm.
mense types set into the tire of the
hind wheels of the machine. Ink is
used in the printing and the type is
made of rubber. Each rlbber type
is independently inserted in the wheel
so that it can be removed and other
type inserted. Thus the machine can
be made to print any sentence whose
length is not longer than the circum.
ference of the wheel.
A reservoir, or fountain of ink is
situated back of the seat and flows to
rollers, which bear on the top of the
wheels. Then as the latter roll around
the ink is conveyed to the pavement
and the impression of the letters is
left there. While the streets of Paris
are traditionally clean, yet there is al
ways enough dust which would be
caught up by the ink-faced type,
condition which would result very
soon in the clogging of the machine.
To prevent this little blower, or bel
lows, is placed in front of each wheel,
and as the machine moves it elects
wind enough to blow away all dust
Immediately in line with the wheel.
The machine was shown at a recent
exhibition Of bicycles in Paris.

Where Do Children Learn Lying2

A Chicago kindergarten teacher says
that mothers come to her 30 often,
asking how they shall break their
children from telling untruths, that
she has almost come to think that ~
ing is National evil. Humiliating as
is this conclusion, its truth cannot be
gainsaid.
81 am so distressed" said a mother
to her boys teacher, "that Freddie
could deceive you 80. I Ican't imagine
why he is so untruthful; his father is
truth itself, and am sure no one ever
heard me tell lie. Call him In" she
added, turning to her little daughter.
"He won't come if he knows Miss -
is here" said the child. s'Say it's
grandma wants him." suggested her
mother; 'that will fetch him."
And yet she wondered at her boys
untruthfulncss
"Have you dog?" asked tax col
lector at another home.
"Not a dog of any description"
was the prompt reply.
"What about Speck, mammal" asked
the little son, appearing in the door
way with tiny dog in his arms.
''Cost me two dollars" laughed his
father, relating the incident. "Capital
joke on his mother, though"
Rather a costly joke, involving the
loss OF boys respect for his mothers
veracity, and by reflex influence low
ering his own standard of truth.
"You're half an hour late, Willie"
said another mother, "but here's an
excuse; give it to the teacher, and she
won't say a word" The child, who
couldn't read writing, confidently de.
livered the note; it was an urgent re-
quest to have him punished, mean
revenge for some trouble he had given
while being bathed and dressed.

wonder that he soon outstrips his
teacher, and even shocks her by his
proficiency in the art.--Donahoe's

insisted that such an object really had
attacked me, and that my natural his
tory remembrances were unable to

Finally, much to my triumph, the
foe was unearthed from behind the

after a prolonged stare of astonish-

weapon, declared it to be little por-
