The latest scheme for good roads,
that of laying tracks of broad steel
rails along country roads and city
streets, for the wheels of vehicles to
run on, thus greatly increasing the
eral comfort and convenience of driv-
ing and trucking. was suggested by
Gov. Wertz, of New Jersey, in his last
message. He says . horse will draw
on such a steel track twenty times IS
much as on q dirt road and five times
as much as ON macadam. The unani-
nifty with which drivers of all manner
of vehicles in the city streets take to
the car tracks clearly illustrates the
idea.

Discovery in Temperature.-L. G.
Carpenter, meteorologist of the Colo
RADIO state experiment station, has been
keeping watch Of the high points in the
state and on two of them observations
and temperatures have been taken for
some years. The work Of the first year
indicated that the average temperature
of the high attitudes of the state (alti-
tudes three and four thousand feet
higher than the station were much
above the lower points such as the To-
cation of the station. 1t was deemed
incredible and the observations were
continued, with the result that q series
of years has proved the correctness Of
the first conclusions. 1t is explained
by the fact that the cold waves seem to
flow around and below these high points
and the temperature there is more even.
