ment as good thing, said the country
ought to have more Of them, and went
so far as to recommend much more ex-
pensive undertaking, the building Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. John
Quincy Adams favored the Cumberland
matter, and sturdy old Andrew jackson
gave the appropriation bills his unquali-
fed approval
In those early days railroads were
hardly dreamed OF, and the highest am
bition Of the American statesman seemed
to be to have a good wagon road or a
tow-path canal. The Cumberland scheme
was apparently very popular. From
1906 to 1888 more than 100000 was
appropriated for it--snough, it would
seem, to have built a good wagon road.
way from ocean to ocean--and yet the
road in question was never completed to
st. Louis, and the Government becom-
ing tired Of the venture, finally gave it
outright to the several States through
which it passed.
Although the Cumberland road is not
often recalled as such, its influences live
after it, and are silently attested in many
enduring monuments. It's location was
so skillfully laid by the Government
engineers that several Of the leading
railroad lines in different States have
paralleled it as closely as they could.

WINGS OF A DOVE.

A. sunset, when the rosy light was dying
Far down the pathway OF the west,
I saw q lonely dove in silence nying
To DO at rest.
Pilgrim Of air, I cried, could but borrow
Thy wandering wings, thy freedom blest,
I'd fly away from every careful sorrow
And hnd my rest.
But when the dusk a hlmy veil was weaving,
Back came the dove TO seek her nest.

There was true rest
Peace, heart Of mine no longer sigh to wan

Lose not thy life In frutless quest.
There are no happy islands over yonder
Come home and rest.

Pulp as a substItute for Wood.

Pulp as Substitute for Wood.
From the Philadelphia Record.
For long time lever since the first
great impetus was given to paper max
ing by the discovery that it could be
used for a great many other uses than to
write upon, experts have been constantly
looking for new uses for it. The same
may be said Of lumber, that is, pulp
lumber, that which when transformed
by chemical process becomes paper. 1t
is very common sight to witness such
articles as tubs and pals made from pulp
lumber, but a more common one is to
see the production Of boards one inch
thick by thirty inches wide and of any
desirable length, and, in addition, at a
first cost scarcely above that Of the price
for which ordinary No. l common pine
lumber will retail This is not often
seen, but it has been produced, although
not in any great quantity
Now comes a process whereby wood

Gotta. 1t can be readily seen how great
is the future for this branch of lumber
manufactures, when one considers the
use TO which terra Gotta is put in the
construction Of the great steel structures
that are daily being erected in the large
cities. 1t may eventually supersede
marble, or be produced sufficiently cheap
to warrant it's use in the workingman's
home as we'll as that of his more wealthy
neighbor, for it can be Colored and com
pressed to such density that it will not
only look like mosaic blocks, but wear as
we'll. Pulp, nodded to cover steel and
iron posts, becomes almost, il not quite,
non-infammable, aud in this respect will
dispute with terra Gotta it's place for
such uses, As it can be worked up into

Beginning Of the Federal System Of Internal

Correspondence GlObe-Democrat.
From 1906 to 1888 the United State
Government expended more than $4,000,
600 in building great public highway
in the States OF Maryland, Virginia
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
and then donated the Improvement tC
the States in which 1t was located. Ii
those days that was far more lavish ex
penditure OF the public funds than ter
times the amount would be at the pres
ent time. No one who has studied the
results will question the wisdom of such
a vast outlay, for it turned a great tide
Of emigration westward, and stimulated
a growth and development in the Missis
sippi Valley that has repaid the Govern,
ment more than a thousand'old.
After the adoption of the Federal con-
stitution one Of the first questions raised
was that Of the power Of the Govern
ment to construct and maintain internal
improvements. One faction claimed that
no such power had been delegated, while
the other insisted that authority to pro-
vide for the general welfare Of the peo-
pie, which was expressly delegated,
carried with it ample power to provide
and support necessary public utilities.
The cohesive power Of the public funds
united majority in Congress in favor of
such expenditures, and without ever
having this important and fundamental
question decisively settled, the sppropri-
ations for internal improvements have
continued with great regularity and in.
crease for nearly 100 years.
The Cumberland road was among the
very first OF the vast internal improve
ments undertaken by the general Gov
ernment. 1t was intended to be great
National highway from the seat of gov
ernment at Washington to the city Of
st. Louis. 1t was gigantic undertsk-
ing, and attracted widespread attention
in it's day, but information regarding 1t
in the public records is rather meager.
About all the particulars pertaining to
it are confined to the appropriation acts
OF Congress and the messages Of the
Presidents recommending or condemn.
ing the measures.
The improvement was commenced in
very modest way in 1906 with an ap-
preparation Of only $4,000, by an act of
Congress, to regulate the laying out and
making Of wagon road from Cumber-
land, in the State Of Maryland, to the
State of Ohio. 1t was to be laid out by
three discreet and disinterested persons
appointed by the President and con-
firmed by the Senate; was to be four
rods in width, marked on each side every
quarter of a mile In distance and at
every angle, and to be built of stone,
earth, gravel or sand, with ditch or
water.course at either side, and with no
elevation Of more than S degrees with
the horizon. To ease the conscience Of
the Over-scrupulous members on the
question of power, it was provided that
the consent Of the State through which
it was to pass should first be, obtained.
This was clearly subterfuge, for so
soon after the adoption Of the constitu-
tion it must have been known to every
one that a single State could not confer
any power upon the general Govern
ment, and that the separate States had

hemlock and spruce timber Of too small

and large quantities Of "popple" and

portions Of the North, and with which

Canada are covered, have been utilized
and will he available for generations to

The small cottonwood of the South

wheat supply the straw, which is sus-

can be nodded into any Of the various

Now comes the statement, backed up
by practical experiment and application,
Of another new process, by which spruce
fiber may compete with the silk worm in
the production of silk for ladies' dresses.
The rapidly extending use Of hard
woods has given rise to the manufacture
Of Veneered doors. The base or core for
these doors is Of some light wood, such
as pine, ETC., over which is laid a veneer
Of oak, birch, mahogany or any hard
wood, thus giving door that is to all
intents and purposes a hard wood affair,
combined with the lessened weight Of

the warping and twisting that very often

One-inch boards are ripped into strips

time to thoroughly eradicate all moisture
from these strips, and they then pass

commends itself to the manufacturer of

Cost of a Railroad Car.

From the New York Sun
There has recently appeared a detailed
statement Of the cost of constructing at
the Altoona shops Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad a sample, first. class, modern,
up-to date, luxurious passenger car, and
some Of the items are of interest. The
wheels and axles represent cost of
S332.35; the trucks upon which the car
rests cost $53362; the air brake repre-
sents Sl3l,75; the seat fixtures-twenty-
five in number--cost $50.5O; the three
bronze lamps, $l350; the two gas tanks,
$84; the chandeliers, $5O72, and the
item Of screws, which might not appear
to be an important one, $51S9. For the
building OF car like the one taken in
illustration, 2,480 feet Of poplar wood,
3,434 Of ash, l,l00 Of white pine, 1850 of
yellow pine, 450 feet of hickory, 400 of
cherry, 700 of Michigan pine, 500 Of oak
and 439 of maple veneer were required.
To build the car there was required in
addition l3 gallons Of varnish, 45 pounds
Of glue, and nearly 1900 pounds Of iron,
exclusive Of 800 pounds of iron castings.
For the furnishing of the car there were
required SO yards of scarlet plush, "A
yards Of green plush, 81 yards of sheet
ing, and DAB pounds Of hair. The springs
in the car seats cost $43.l7. The basket
racks cost SIT 80, the sash levers s42, the
bronze window lifts S24,40, and the gold
leaf for the establishment Of the wood
work Sl4.58. For the window fasteners
Sl5.47 worth of material was required,
two stoves cost 7756, and the tin
used on the roof of the car $4l.44. The
labor in the construction of the car rep
resented cost Of 81, l,263.94, bringing up
the expenditure to more than 81 400.
The Yellow River, which has been
named the Sorrow OF China" is proba-
bly, the most destructive stream on the
face OF the earth. In less than hundred
years it has changed its channel four
times, and the point where it empties
into the sea has, from time to time, been
moved up and down the coast distance
of 300 miles. 1t runs through a vast
alluvial plain, and is fed by streams
from great system OF mountains to the
north. When the snow melting on this
range comes at time of heavy rains the
result is sure to be terrific flood. 1t
has been estimated that in the past three
centuries over 100000 of human beings
have perished in the foods of the Yellow
River. For destructiveness, both Of life
and property, this stream is unparal-
