booked one night and there Semiramis,
With all her mourning doves about her head,
~ rocking on an ancient road Of hell.
Wthercd and syeleee, chanting to the moon

Upon the lighted roofs of Nineveh.
And then her voice rang out with rattling

And then went crying on through Ninevehi
6sand back ye trembling messengers Of ill!

Astronomy From Saturn.

One often sees in articles on astronomy
turnian heavens at night, where, in add
ton to the starry host familiar TO us all,
would be the wonderful ring spanning the
sky AS an arch OF golden light and eight
moons in their various phases. In meas
ure this is true, but it depends upon cir
cumstances. During the summer half o.
the year in either hemisphere the illumi
mated side Of the rings is of course, visible
perhaps even family so in the daytime, "a
as Is the case with our moun-but when the
twilight falls and the golden arch shines
forth in all its beauty against the darkness:
OF the sky it must certainly be sight
which for grandeur SURPRISES any celestial
phenomenon known to us, save possibly
total eclipse Of the sun
AS soon as the sun has set, however, TIT.
shadow of the planet, where it falls upon
the rings, rises in the east and mars the
beauty Of the arch as it travels across ii
during the short night and disappears i'll
the west ut sunrise. AT the summer sol
stice, though, the sun rises high enough
in the heavens, OF, more correctly, thS
planet axis is inclined far enough toward
the sun to bring the outer ring clear of the
shadow, which then appears somewhat
conical in shape and reaches across the in
ner bright ring nearly to the outer one.-

ROADS THAT ARE NEEDED.
Henry Wattersons Idea Is That They Be
Local. Not National.

Henry Watterson takes issue with a
good roads advocate who insists that
the general government should have
charge Of read making-that there
should be national highways built and
maintained at public expense.
The good roads that are needed, says
the Chicago Times Herald, those that
are most needed, in the language Of
Colonel Watterson, are those that lead
from the farm to the railroad, the mill
the factory, tho school, the church, the
ferry and the market. "
This apt remark Of Colonel Watterson
is a condensation, a Simplitication, an
absolutely plain presentation of what is
most wanted in the matter Of good
roads Garry out that idea, and what
will be wanting: 1t will meet the re-
quirements Of the farmer; it viii save
the farming element hundreds Of mil
lions Of dollars every year; 1t will meet
the expectations of the pleasure seeker !;
it will add to the value of every foot of
land in the country; it will be of value
to every merchant and every profession
al man; il viii be a source OF pleasure

BAD ROADS TO BLAME.
Why tho Farmers In tho East Find Thsir
Business UnprOfitable.

Business Unprofitsblc.
A highly important feature Of the
highways question is tho effect good or
bad roads have upon tho local markets
and their sources Of supply. says the
New York Tribune. In all the cities and
mand for farm products and for the
bulkisr and heavier products, such as hay
and straw and grain.
In many cases the surrounding coun-
try is quite capable of supplying that
demand; in all cases it should do so as
far as possible; i'll most eases it does not.
Instead, supplies are brought in by rail
or canal from far away, perhaps from
other states; while at the same time,
within few miles of the market thus
supplied, are farms that have been
abandoned as not worth working and
others whose owners are in chronic dis
content and despair at the apparent i'm
possibility OF getting profitable prices
for their crops. The big farms of the
west, they say, monopolize the markets,
and SO farming here no longer pays.
Now, one prime secret of the trouble
lies in the bad roads, which keep the
producer and the consumer apart by
making it difficult, if not impossible,
for the farmers to get their produce to
market, The farmer 900 miles away
can get his crops to market by rail or
canal more easily and more cheaply than
the farmer only ten miles away can haul
his in over roads that arc so billy and
rough and miry that half a ton is a
heavy load for horse to draw at slow
footpace,
1t is not that farms in tho east are no
longer productive, nor that the eastern
market no longer offers fair prices. 1t
is that the roads between the farms and
the markets are so bad as to make ship
ment unp1otitable Good roads through
out the farming regions adjacent to the
cities and towns would do more than
anything else to restore prosperity to
the farmers, enabling them to get their
goods to the best possible market easily,
promptly and cheaply. Good roads
would mean good farms, good markets,
good prices and good tunes for all con
cerned.

all plans and specifications for new
roads and bridges, to report to the coun-
ty comm issioners on all work completed,
and if the work is done according to
the plans, specifications and contract
he is to draw his vouchers for the same
before payment is made.
The county surveyor is chairman Of
all boards of viewers Of roads, keeps

power to contract for all work not ex-
ceeding $500 in cost. For larger amounts

tho beginnings of road improvement
have been made, could show you ANAL
farming communities growing rich in
these hard times, oontentsd and happy,
and troubling themselves not at all with
the great problems Of finance which agi-
tate their brethren. They have no time
to waste in talk. II their fields are too
wet to work, they go ON the road Their
marketing is done in bad weather, and
In rainy spells they bring from distance
cheap fertilizers to enrich their farms,
such as mari, city refuse, etc. Phila-
delphia refuse is carried 20 miles on the
stone roads.
Ia these fortunate communities every
day brings its earnings to man and
beast, for there is always paying work
on good road, and if man has no
hauling of his own to do he can get
work from others, and good wages. Ex-
