GOOD ROADS IN PROSPECT.
Uncle Sam Will Lay Steel Tracks For
Wagon Traffic.

The United States department of
agriculture proposes to lay in the cen.
ter of country roads two fiat steel tracks
of sufficient width for ordinary farm
wagon traffic. These tracks are to be
even-sixteenths of an inch thick and
will be bedded in gravel laid in trenches
and fastened together at the joints and
in the center.
On hills they will be corrugated to en-
able horses to obtain a firm foothold.
Such a road is expected to be durable
and to reduce the tractive resistance
from 40 pounds per ton on macadam
surface to pounds per ton Oh the steel
tracks. On short road the cost for
tracks and fittings would be 50, 500 per
mile. A line several miles in length
could be built for $4,000 per mile.
This is for track weighing 100 tons per
mile. A track for lighter traffic and
weighing less could be built proportion
ately cheaper. Exchange,

The mortgage for $3.50, 900 which the
Iowa Union Telephone company gave
to the Illinois Trust company has been
lost in the mails. The document has
travelled through nearly every county
in Iowa where the Iowa Union compa-
ny does business to be recorded. 1t has
always been mailed in a tin tube. When
the mail reached Grundy Center, the
tube was found, but the mortgage was
gone 1t is not presumed that it was
stolen, as it would be of little value to
any one but the rightful owners. The
opinion prevails that it became sepa-
rated from the covering and will yet
turn up. II not, duplicate mortgage
will be made, and it must be recorded

A son of Benjamin II. Cox of Cincin-
natl while prospecting" recently OH a
five acre tract belonging to his father
near Southside discovered the bones of
an extinct mammal on hillside, where
it had been washed out from under the
rocks by heavy rains. The vertebre
were intact, and a tooth over six inches
long, in remarkably we'll preserved
state, was found.
The size of the bones indicated that
the animal, whatever it was, must have
been of gigantic proportions and be.

probably a mastodon. From the meas

was about IL feet high, exceeding the
height of the ordinary elephant of the

tooth and will make further explora-
tions of the grounds, after which all
the collections made will be presented to

A GIRLS GREAT LUCK.
Msrv'' Gus Result of a Young Isdy's First
Venture at Monte Carlo.


Venture at Monte Carlo.
A private letter from Monte Carlo re-
counts an extraordinary run of luck
made recently by one of the players, an
American girl. at roulette table. She
went there merely 10 see the gambling,
of which she had heard so much, and,
becoming excited, obtained permission
from her escort to venture one gold
piece, and one only If she lost it, she
would play no more. If size won, she
would play with her winnings until
they were gone
She placed the coin on No 10, and
the turn of the wheel was in her favor.
Her escort entered into an animated ar
gument with her TO take what she had
gained and to be content with her ex-
perience She reminded him of the
terms of the agreement, and while the
controversy was going on the croupier
gave another turn to the wheel, which,
when it stopped, showed the same num-
Der as winner AS her money had re-
manned on the table il was increased
thirtyfold.
Again urged TO remove her gains and
to cease playing, she became angry and
left the money on the same number
with the intention of losing it, Once
more the ball stopped in No. 10, and
her single goldpiece had increased to a
handsome little fortune, which she was
at length prevailed upon to pocket.
Oddly enough. the next turn of the
wheel stopped at the same number, but
as it had already come up three times
nobody played it.-Boston Herald
