ANOTHER PAPER WITH WHEELS


(San Francisco Chronicle.)
For the first time in the history of
the world conditions are now APP
preaching which make road construc-
ton not only simple but perma-
nent matter. The hoofs of horses
wear away the hardest and toughest
pavements, and even the deep pres
sure of the narrow tires of heavy
trucks and wagons cut deeply into the
best rounded roads and reduce the
best macadamized pavements to dust,
while the mere tread of human feet
will wear away stone blocks and con-
vert thick planis to splinters. The
soft roll of the pneumatic tire will
scarcely leave an impression on the
soft path through the woodland, but,
on the contrary. exert merely gentle
pressure, acting as a roller, to com
press and harden the earth, making
more compact the surface which it
passes over. When a road is once
properly rounded and drained it might
be used by the tire of bicycles and
horseless carriages for a hundred
years and be all the better at the end
of century of use. A simple top
dressing of macadam, or, better still,
a thin coating of asphalt in its natural
state, mixed with sand or gravel,
would make an ideal road for the new
wheels to travel, and one which would
endure to the end of time.

Richest DOginthe World
\ Philadelphia Fox Terrier
Worth $4,000 in His
Own Right.

DENVER. Col, March S.-The
richest dog in the world i At present
quarlered in this city. lie is a small
fox terrier and he has had hi. ups and
downs. He was formerly wait III
the streets Of Philadelphia when
wealthy native Of the Quaker City
named Davis found him and took hum
home. That was some years ago.
Davis conceived Il great tondness
for the terrier, and the terrier mani
tested great deal OF affection for
Davis. The poor dog and the rich
man got IN together iamou>ly and be-
came inseparable companions
When Davis fell i'll the dog seemed
to realize that the illness was of ser
ious nature and refused To be comfort
ed. lie neither ate nor slept while
Davis was sick. Davis was touched
by the devotion Of his canine friend.
And when Davis had died and his
will was read it was found thar he had
left to the dog legacy Of $50, 900. No
provision was made for the disposition
OF the legacy in the event Of the ter
rior's death.
Soon after the dog fell heir to the
fortune he too became i'll. Skilled
medical men were consulted and they
said the dog was suffering from con-
sumption.
The legatee was treated with all the
consideration which would have been
accorded II human who had Il bank
account Of 100000 \ trained nurse,
was engaged TO care for the terrier to
see that he orders OF the dogs physi-
clans should be carried out to the let
ter. Cod liver oil was administered in
prescribed duses and at regular inter
walls throughout the day and night.
But the condition OF the terrier did
not improve He grew worse steadily,
and finally the physicians ordered
change of climate 1t was suggested
that he be taken To Denver. He was
taken there in the hope that the change
of the air might benefit his lungs. At
the present time the dog, in common
with the family OF the dead man. Is
quartered at the leading fashionable
hotel OF Denver.
Ii is an interesting question whether
the $4,000 reverls to the family in
the event of the dogs death, " ich is
certain, or goes to the State Of Penn
