use of stone OF unequal sizes. The or
binary stone crushers in use were not
gagged small enough, and an occasional
large piece, especially II large and long,
tends to disintegrate the road-bed. The
commissioner recommends the use OF
smaller stone and demands that they be
as nearly as possible uniform In size and
shape. In plain terms. a little more
care needs to be exercised In the crush
ing of the stone and In placing and
rolling It In the road-bed. While stone
roads are of an old date, they require
to be as carefully constructed now as
of old. Slipshod work in bodybuilding
produces as unsatisfactory results as In
ANYTHING else. The most encouraging
results Of the New Jersey road law
are 100 miles of permanent road and
an increasing public appreciation OF
the advantages Of good roads. At first
only a few counties were willing to as
sumo the cost Of trying the experiment.
The number has grown in two years
from five to fourteen, or two-thirds OF
the counties in the state. and II is evil
dent that public opinion will demand a
large increase Of the annual state APP
Precipitation. which up to this date has
not exceeded 100000. The success OF
this initial experiment in the building
OF permanent roads by the state across
the Delaware should furnish lesson Ia
Pennsylvania legislators and lead to the
enactment Of law that will encourage
and foster good roads In this state.

change. In experimenting with a
Crookes tube, through which a strong
current was passing but which was
covered with a cloth, he happened to
bring his hand between the tube and
some sensitized Photographic paper.
Finding lines on the paper for which
no could not account, he hunted for the
cause and found that the bones OF his
hand had been reproduced by the rays
from the tube. In repeating his ex-
periments recently before Emperor
william the wurzburg professor ex-
planned that he not yet solved the
theory OF the phenomenon and called
the rays Professionally X rays. In the
first experiments the rays did not re-
produce objects hidden by solid matter

ROADS IN NEW JERSEY.
Result OF the workings of the Road
Law In That State.

Law In That State.
The law under which the state OF
New Jersey sets aside the sum OF $780,
900 annually for the construction OF
permanent public roads has been In
operation two years. says the Phila-
dilphia Times. Under the terms OF the
act the state aid is extended solely
for the construction OF macadamized
roads and only to the extent OF one
third OF the cost, the county being re-
quired TO pay the other two-thirds. IL
has been found that fifty miles or road
a year can be constructed on this plan'
the average cost being $4,000 a mile.
In the two years about 100 miles Oh
stone road had been constructed, mostly
In five counties. The plan has been In
operation long enough to demonstrate
It's chief benefits. as we'll as some OF
its defects. Among the latter is the
narrow yoad-bed authorized during the
first years experiment. The first COM
missioner of public roads was anxious
TO stretch the appropriation to its ut
most limit OF usefulness. He stretched
IL too much by limiting the stone road
bed to not less than ten or more than
twelve feet. This compelled driving in
one and the same path and resulted In
ruts and raveled edges. The second
commissioner had increased the width
to fourteen and sixteen feet, and hopes
with this additional width and the en-
forcement of the law against narrow
tires to secure better results. Another
noticeable defect has arisen from the
