the past with all coal-oil stoves
has been that the means at

for the results desired. The
flame being in all cases a yell

it impossible to place the arti

the manufacturers OF coal-oi

for producing artificial light

wheels. and the space between the raids
hardened with macadam or other mate
rial The gutter shape of the rails Will
permit of vehicles turning out to let otl-'
ers pass. or to leave the steel roadway for
another road
An estimate Of the cost Of the steel
roadways is given by the commissioner.
The maeadam roads that have been built
in several New Jersey counties have cost
at about the rate of 5000 a mile 1t is
calculated that the proposed steel road,
with double tracks. sixteen feet wide. with
macadam or telford surface. can be COM
structed for 5000 a mile. or a single track
steel road for 5000 "A mile. There are
many rural turnpikes that cost probably
as much as 5000 per mile every few years,
and then during the greater part of the
time are almost impossible. The idea of
utilizing steel rails on country roads is
unique. But it seems to be entirely prac-
ticable. Whether it would be economical
remains TO be demonstrated. 1t may be
that the New Jersey commissioner pos
sesslng the confidence Of the state legis-
lature. will be able to secure an appropri-
alton for the testing of his scheme.

The movement in favor of libraries in the

The public schools of Detroit have free

Every day or two the news dispatches
contain accounts of crimes committed by
youths or boys. Only few weeks ago
there appeared to be an epidemic of
youthful depravity in the cities of New
York and Chicago. Highway robberies,
burglaries and even murders were COM
mitted by children; and several instances
We're reported in which the crime was
traced to the reading by the young Grim
inal of dime and nickel novels. The char
acter of this literature is too well known
to need any description. 1t is always
highly sensational, and invariably mis-
chievous. The need for the removing of
the youth of the country from the in
luences of such stuff is recognized. Boys
and girls win read. and if good and whole
some books are not placed within their
reach, they will read trash. Undoubtedly
the best way to keep trashy books out of
their hands is to afford them the privi-
lege of reading sound books without cost.
or for a merely nominal cost.
IL might be possible to establish good
small libraries in public schools without
Legislative appropriations. If superinten-
dents were authorized to receive gifts of
books for library purposes, and to re-
ceive from public-spirited citizens sums of
money to be applied to the purchase of
books. the chances are that libraries
would grow up in the majority of city
| public schools. The teacher might be au-
! thorized 10 so little further, and even
solicit contributions from benevolent per-
| sons.
