Field for Genius-G0od Roads.

There is a field for the inventive gem
Jus in connection with the good roads
movement as wide as that which was
afforded at the beginning Of railroad
building. a hasty comparison of the
railroad and its tram of sixty years ago
with a modern limited" tells in some
degree of that field in which the in
ventor has wrought during that time
1t is so apparent that time need not be
taken in calling attention to it in detail.
1t is true that the inventive genius of
the country has been at work in behalf
of good roads, but that which it has al
ready accomplished compared with that
which it will bring about during the next
ten or fifteen years, is so little that it
will lock exceedingly small in COMPARE
son. The roller, the crusher and yari-
Gus other articles now brought into use
in making better roads will be vastly
improved upon, and numerous other
implements TO be used in all of the diff
feTent branches Of BODYBUILDING will
put i'll an appearance. We need not be
surprised at the production of new ma
terials, materials today unth0ught of,
whose use in road building will be pro-
nouncd marvellous both in the character
of the road they produce and in their
cheapness. Twenty years ago, yes,
less than twenty years ago, the man
who said that nearly every large city in
the United States would in 1897 possess
systems Of electric railroads ouId have
been counted fit for madhou5e. Ten
years from now, maybe five years, pos
sibly year, science and the genius Of
the inventor may convert the hill or
the mountain into material which can
be applied to road-buiTding that viii
answer the purpose as well us anything
yet introduced, as we'll as asphalt, ma
cadam and so on. OF one thing the
public may be sure, that when the
right sentiment has been created, and
all classes, or nearly all classes at the
present time are, to a greater or less
GAl6uI GuSdSSu III IudhluS ludG 6CIlI-
ment, the necessary means will present
themselves for the construction of the
roads so long needed and that will be
worth so many hundreds Of millions Of
dollars to the United States even run
ming up to billions every decade. Let
the inventor turn his eyes, hismind,
his heart in the direction Of Good
Roads, the necessity for them, the great
value Of them, and then apply himself
in creating inventions that will be IN
valuable in the work Of supplying them.
There are millions in it for him and
billions in it for his country. In the
meantime, agitate, talk Good Roads,
preach for Good Roads, write for Good
Roads, teach for Good Roads, plan for
Good Roads, organize for Good Roads,
and be sure that Good Roads will come.

Various Forms of Gambit Open
ing Illustrated.
POINTS FOR LOGICAL PLAYERS.

Plain Deductions From Examples OF Play.
When Partners Winning Cards Fall To-

Long Suit or Nothing Methods.
now propose to illustrate the various
forms of gamblt opening and to explain in
brief some Of the foremost principles of
gambit play beyond the opening by means
of examples and annetations. These hands
are selected, Of course, to show gains for
the gambit play as compared with the rou-
tine long suit or nothing theory. For this
partiality need not apologize. Such gains
do not always arise, to be sure, but they
do arise more frequently as the result Of
gambit treatment than as the result Of old
fashioned methods.
The first example starts with u hand of
the first class of gambit character. Hearts
are trumps, and the leader has: Hearts. X,
10, z, 8, a. clubs, j, 8, A; diamonds, z, 4,
s.; spades, A, s. According to Pole, you
ought to lead trumps from this hand be-
cause they are the only long suit. The log
ical whist player, however, adopting our
classification, sees that this Is hand ICON
tanning trump strength, but no long plain
suit, nor all round plain suit ength or
support, which calls for the gailbit open
ing He leads the best supporting card he
has, the & j, and the play goes along thus

Trick 1.-Second hand does we'll to Gov

here. A short suit jack being led, second
hand should go In with queen or king, II
he has either or both of them, unless he
has ace and queen, when he should play

clubs are developed by Norths gambit
opening.
Tricks and 3.-West "a long suiter)
clears his diamonds in the conventional
manner, paying no attention to the tenaca
In them.
Trick 4.-South will not touch his ma
jor tenace In clubs, waiting to have this
suit led to him. He will not give the ad-
versary a trick In diamonds If he can help
1t. He docs not like to touch the three
spades to the king, which contain n posi-
bic tenace. The short truplp lead Is rather
defensive than attacking. 1t Is unlikely to
lose anything If partner, too, Is short; but
1t may gain a great deal II partner ha'

Trick 5.-East Qong suiter) carefully
leads the fourth best, a conventionality thai
is purely artificial, and In cases like the
present quite useless.
Trick 6.-North wants the trumps 30

TO put partner IN the lead. South has the
major tenace in spades and takes the
"sure" fincsse.
Trick South does not Mt once under
stand North's play and proceeds to make
good his king of spades. North's discard
Of the diamond shows his hand To be all

more than two clubs left (having led tho
jack short" originally he must have at
least four more trumps. Therefore at
