MACADAM AND TELEORD.
Systems Of the Two Eminent Roadbuild.
ers Briefly Explained.

1t was the custom of Macadam, after
the engineering work was completed
and the subgrade established, to spread
on q layer Of stone to depth of ten
inches and to roll this surface with a
heavy roller drawn by horses, writes c.
l.. Wbipple i'll Popular Science Monthly
These stones were broken by hand with
small hammers. frequently "a whole
family working together, and were
broken small enough to pass through a
8 inch ring, or wer. not to have max
imum weight Of over six ounces. a
family of five people could break several
tons per day. Side bitches We're exca
waited where necessary. SO that at nc
season Of the year could water penetrate
to the suhstructure of the road.
In 1916 Macadam began the construc
ton and maintenance Of lsO miles Of
turnpike III Bristol district, England.
a modification of TINS system was
adopted by Thomas Telford about this
time, which substituted "a layer, OF
foundation, of irregular broken stone,
set up on edge On the suHRrade, Nine
inches was the maximum dimension Of
these frague hts The rough surface
thus made W.s SIneothetl down by going

starting out on the uncertain ocean of
matrimony, have some advice to offer at
less than cost. When first starting out,
don't pay much attention; let her support
herself; force her self-reliance. Then
when you are old you may have a reserved
chance to create glad surprise by some
extraordinary attention. II you don't
care about the surprise why just go ahead
and wait around with her umbrella and
overshoes, and no doubt she'll be happy,
grateful, glad; but you'll never see any
joyous snap OF surprise in her ever -expec-
tant eye-you viii be always looked for
with confidence all along the line.
From Charlottetown we came to Louis

into some remarks regarding this place

1.-THE GARDEN OF THE GULF"
After seeing so much OF tie fruit
OF the -" Garden of the GUT - we
were possessed by very natural desire to
see where it all came from. We decided
to do a part OF the island on W heels, SO
accordingly the next morning made a
fourteen mile run. Think after We had
seen the long fields OF potatoes or turnips
stretching far away as the eye could
reach, we ceased to wonder hence it
came.
The country is gently rolling with no
high hills, and no rocks. The soil is re-
markahly fertile. The people are kindly,
cordial, well informed and quite English
in tastes and customs. There are two
fine colleges in the vicinity OF Charlotte
town, three large public schools, two CON
vent schools for girls, and st. Peters pri-
vate schools for girls and boys.
On the evening OF each market day The
band plays in the square in Charlotte
town. Rich and poor, old and young
come out to hear the music. A good idea
OF the people may be had by watching
the promenaders, and strangers are sur
prised at 8 p. m. to hear the fire bell toll,
and see the people take no apparent
notice. This is to warn the young folks
in this quaint old town that it is time to
go home.
To-day the slow and PLANE lande full
OF goodly meadowes and trees, which is
so described in Carriers diary, is fair rs
ever. Truly no more fitting sobriquet
could be applied to it than Garden OF the
Gulf'. HELEN l.. NJ. RICHARDSON.

There are said TO be in Maine seventeen

There are deaths in Maine, but there are

The value Of he different uses to which

summarized as follows: Sold in rough

$40, S3s; for monumental and cemetery
purposes, :S0,56l; paving blocks, 1914 ,101;
macadamizing purposes, $500; other

DESCRIPTION OF THE ISLAND.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ISLAND.
From another pen in close relationship
to the first. comes this vivid description
OF Prince Edward Island:
Approach ing the island from across the
Strait of Northum berland, no fairer scene
could greet the eye. Behind we left the
New Brunswick shore in its bold, rugged
beauty not unlike our own Maine coast.
After the last glimpses OF it had faded
on the horizon, we turned to see tiny
specks which, to my inexperienced eye,
seemed like tiny, pink cloudlets balsnc-
ing on the blue water far away rs the eye
could reach. AS we came nearer they
gradually assumed the appearance OF land,
growing the while darker in color, until
the vivid red OF the sandstone cliffs could
be plainly seen.
1t Is rarely one meets with such beau
tiiul combination OF bright colors as
greeted our eyes when nearing the coast
OF Prince Edward Island - the bright
red OF the sandstone cliffs (the soil every
where on he island is OF this coior), the
vivid green OF the fields and the deeper
green of the pines and spruces in the
background, the blue water, broken by
scarcely Il ripple, and over all the blue,
rose, violet, pearl-gray and countless
other shades of the sky which never
seemed brighter. The sun was about to
sink below the horizon and standing by
the rail OF the steamer, We watched the
stars peep out one by one, and together
with the moon they made the scene
glimpse OF fairyand.
The steamer IN which We crossed to the
Island is a large. able passenger boat,
which in appearance is like those which
cross he Atlantic from Boston and New
York. ! learned That until recently it has
run between one OF our sout hern cities
and the Bahamas. Leaving the boat Mt
Summerside We took the train across the
Island TO Charlottetown arriving there
