You see, Jack had been attentive to me
for years, and every little while would tell
me how much he loved me and ask me if
1 could care for him. 1 put him off, and
then. after two or three years, no began to
neglect telling me of his love. In the
meanwhile I learned to love him and tried
i'm every way to make him speak, but
whom he called, he never wanted to see me
alone, and always tried TO have some Of
the family about. When we were alone,
BIO was moody and silent, and no amount
of sweetness on my part would bring him
to another avovai.
"At last he called and said that he was
going to Washington; that there was no

no ties to hold him, and no one for whom
he especially cared. I used my best en-
deavors TO dissuado him and limited in ev.
cry way possible that he might expect a
favorable answer if he would ask mo to
marry him. Jack said good night to the
people, and l went to tho door with him.
We stood at the entrance some time, and !
tried so hard to bring him out, but no use.
He spoke of no one caring for him, and all

NEW WAY TO LAY DUST.

From the Engineering Record.)
Chemicals are being used to lay the
dust on the country roads The Cali
f0rnia state highway commissioners
have been experimenting with road
sprink1ing, using instead of plain water
and salts which have the property of
absorbing and holding water, and can
not be dried by exposure to the air.
The dry season of California allows the
roads to become 50 dusty that sprink-
ling is systemat ically applied from May
Is to Oct. 1, and occasionally during the
remainder of the year, depending upon
the rainfall.
This is expensive the cost in Santa
Clara county, where there are 270 miles
of roads, being as high as $4,000 per
year.
With view to getting a sprinkling
machine whose effect would be more
lasting than plain water, experiments
were made at the University of Cali
fornia with three differen chemicals,
viz: chloride of calcium, chloride of
magnesium and bittern, this last being
4 concentrated waste sea water from
which common salt has been crystall-
lied.
The first experiment was with mag
nesium chloride. About IS pounds of
magnesium chloride were dissolved in
about 80 pounds of water and sprinkled
on 500 square feet of very dusty road
a similar area being sprinkled at the
same time with water. The water
sprinkled area was as dusty as ever at
the end of three days, but the other area
remained moist and dustless until
heavy rain washed out the salt. A SIM
liar test was made with chloride of cal
ciun, with somewhat better results, but
the heavy rains interfered with the trial
with bittern.

SUBSTITUTE FOR RUBBER
Has Been Discovered in California in
Inexhaustible QUANTITIES.

San Francisco, March 4.-The discov-
is said can be produced in large guam
titles, at less than a quarter of the
cost of genuine rubber, is announced
by a Sonoma county journal.
The substance is the product of a
tree which grows abundantly in the
central part of the state and was dis
covered by accident. The tree is tap
ped near the base, and the sap, which is
quite dark colored, is caught in a YES
sci. After being exposed for a day or
two a layer of tough elastic material
closely resembling rubber is formed.
If this is taken off another layer will
form. This substance will Vulcan1ze
like rubber and when properly treated,
is a perfect substitute for the genuine
article. 1t has been tested by several
scientific men, who say it will take the
place of rubber for almost any purpose
A company is being formed to put
this new material which has not yet
been named, on the market. The meth
cd of treatment is secret. The discOv-
erer says the supply is inexhaustible.
