Adronates Steel Roadways.

Martin Dodge, the Ohio state road
commissioner, is enthusiastic on the
subject of steel roadways. He estimates
that a double-track road. the tracks
laid 16 feetapart, and the space between
the rails of each track filled in with
broken stone, macadam size, would cost
much less than good mocadam road;
md the COST of a country one-track
road would be about half as much as
the double track. He says that such
road would last much longer than a
stone road; and that one horse will
draw on q steel track 20 times as much
as on a dirt road and five times as
much as on macadam.

message to the legislature, said in part:
cit appears that we have about $780,
900 miles of public roads in the various
townships of the commonwealth, not
including turnpike roads and those in
the cities and boroughs, and, although
almost 100000 have been expended
each year for their improvement, they
hre in a most unsatisfactory condition.

We do not advise keeping celery for
Einter use other than by means OF cold
storage, but it is done by some OF our.
growers by placing it in trenches. This.
Is the method in use in Kalamazoo, and
while it has the advantage of prolong-
Ing our season, it will not, in the course
5f two or three years, be practicable, as.
the California, Utah and Florida stock
will be moro plentiful, and ours, though

ped tops. The celery, when placed in;
the trenches, has to live on something,
Ind, having lost most of its roots, it is
hot able to draw it's food from the
ground. The heart, therefore, grows at
the expense of the outside stalks, and,
instead of the head becoming larger, 1t
grows smaller.
The celery for the trenches is cut.
from the row, after having been banked
for about q week. 1t is quite green and
the heart growth has just fairly COM
menced. It is taken up with spade,
allowing three or four inches of the tap
root to remain on it. The trenches are,
in reality, not dug into the ground, but
are built on top of it. To do this, blanch-

against the boards Ind packed there.
See cut. Should the celery be taller than
the boards they are pried up with a
shovel until their tops are even with
those of the celery, and more earth is
drawn up. If the weather is not too
cold, they are allowed to remain this
way until it becomes colder, and then
the earth is pressed firmly over the tops
until there is finally left an opening not
more than three or four inches wide.
This is sometimes covered over with a
blanching board at night and opened in
the day time, thus saving the tops to a.
certain extent. Frost may be removed
by sprinllling dry muck over the tops.
See the lower part of cut.
The length OF time that it will keep
this way dependsupon the weather, how
we'll blanched it is when put in, and the
variety. Continuous cold weather is the
most favorable, for it does not allow it
to grow very rapidly, and the tops rot
less. In this latitude, it is put in from
October to IS. Our main variety for
winter and fall use is Perfection Heart
we'll. In warm weather holes are made
in the sides of the trenches near the bot
tom, to allow the air to circulate through
the celery. This is the best method that
we know of, although can say, from
personal experience, that it is not eco
nomical if o. fair or even low price can
be had for it directly from the field

was that the members of the Legislature
who have refrained from voting for Senator
for the purpose of breaking quorum had
announced their purpose to commence
voting again on yesterday. If they did
so it is likely that Hunter, the Republican
nominee, has been elected Senator, as he
only lacked one vote of having enough to
secure his election.

years have made every public thorough
fare equal to our best turnpike roads
After stating that the road laws are
too numerous and too local, and advoc0t-
ing one or two general laws, he adds:
"Another defect is the short term for
which supervisors are elected, in many
cases but a single year, thus breaking
up any plans that intelligent super
visors may endeavor 20 carry out and
giving sense of insecurity in the posi-
tion."
The governor advocates providing
three supervisors to be elected for three
Years, one going out of office each year.
Also that one-half the road tax be paid
in money, and that every mile of the
road system be under the care Of indi-
viduals whose daily duty should be to
see that the roads arc in good condition
and repairs made when needed. IF
these suggestions were carried cut, the
way would be open for the state to
grant such aid from time to time as
might be necessary in relieving the
burden now wholly borne by the rural
people"

Traverse, Of the Era, and say that am wait
ing."
The Sporting Editor did not set the value
of scratched ballot on being one of the Am
bassador's guests. and in spite of certain
Bohemian excentricities, had too good taste
to ruffie by his presence the surface of
smooth flowing social current. He regarded
the Embassy ball as a well-staged spectacle
which he cared to study briefly from an out
side standpoint. 1t might be better some
what than first-class stage spectacle, in that
the settings were all real and ones eyes were
not offended by bare bricks and mortar if
they chanced TO turn toward the wings. So
he strolled down the vista of huge-leaved
tropic plants that lined the great hallway
till he neared the foot of the grand staircase
where the hall broadened into rotunda that
commanded view of both the main ball
room and the dining-hall. Here, almost on
the edge OF the constantly passing throng he
noted quiet retreat with chair and small
table therein almost hidden from sight be-
tween two great branching palms. 1t was as
good place as could have been planned for
his purpose, one where he would never be
noticed except by someone passing directly
in front.
Seating himself at ease with one elbow on
the table, he began to make mental notes.
The grand staircase, with its covering of
white canvas and its balustrades of cut
flowers led up to a landing where was en-
sconced the Marine Band in their scarlet
uniforms. grouped just under the great
dragon flag of China, with its striking con-
trast of yellow and black. Above the bend
of the stairway, on either side. there was
ntly-changipgpicture eofbright-gowned
women, with their uniformed and decorated
escorts, pausing as they passed to glance over
the balustrade at the crowd below. In the
hallway there was a moving stream of
foreign uniforms and Paris gowns, with
fair sprinkling of plain dress coats as foil
to the whole. In the ballroom beyond, over
the fringe of heads that filed the doorway.

dancers, circling the floor to the strains Of

well, suppose Senators and newspaper
men have no rights anyone's bound to re-
spect," muttered the sporting man rs he
rang up the elevator, and with that he
threw himself into the car and out again
into Jones's cab that was still waiting at
the front door.
"Senator Hastings" was all he said, and
then relapsed into state Of unusual quie-
tude.
AS he suspected, the Senator's house was
still lighted on the lower floor, and as he
turned the corner of the block under the
electric-light messenger-boy on bicycle
flashed by, coming from that direction.
The negro butler, with whom Dick was
persona grata, said:
DE Senator done druv up on l street Z
tex young lady home, but he be back
freely, an wouldn't Mistah Raymond come
in an wait?n
The Sporting Editor said he would wait,
and walked into the parlor. The standing
lamp was turned low, and he was halfway
IN the room before he saw that it was already
occupied. On a low seat near the window
was the debutante, her opera-cloak thrown
back across the chair, and her head bowed
on the table in her white-gloved hands. On
the floor beside her was a yellow envelope
freshly opened, and crumpled yellow tele-
graph blank showed between her fingers
He would have beaten q quiet and hasty
retreat, but the click of the bamboo pOrtiers
had attracted her attention. She raised her
head, her hair just trifle tumbied, and her
face flushed, but not the same flush that had
lighted it when he saw her only an hour
before. She recognized him again, and this
time did not try to hide it. With girls
instinct she knew what had brought him to
the house, and advanced half defantly to
meet him.
II know what you have come for, Mr.
Raymond" She said, very coldly; and
am sorry you chose your time when there
was nobody but woman in the house for
you to catechise"
am sorry that I seem such an unwel-

to see your father. And I am not at all sure

with promptitude. Il wanted to see the

Y. Volunteer Engineers. After consid-
cradle delay in getting the boat in readl-
ness, and with much difficulty and the
exercise of great caution, succeeded In
groping their way through devious and
uncertain channel to the wharf at Cock
spur Island. 1t was reached about mid
night. On landing the Union forces
found dozen or more rebel Soldiers,
who had struggled out of the fort, infiu-
enced by a curiosity and desire to as
certain the
TREATMENT THEY WERE TO RECEIVE.
Most of them were Irish and Germans.
The occupation of the fort was effected
in very quiet manner.
A good anecdote is told by one of the
Connecticut boys. While in conversation
with a rebel the latter said: "At least,
with all our faults, we have never made
wooden nutmegs."
The Yankee, in very demure-look-
ing way, innocently replied: "We do
not make them of wood any longer"
and, pointing to one of the big project
lies lying near, which had preached the
fort, added quietly, we make them of
iron"
To the credit of the Union troops,
they indulged in no taunts or insults to
the conquered foe. Though highly ex-
ultant when the surrender of the fort was
announced, and when they embarked to
take possession, singing "Old John
Brown and the "Star Spangled Ban
ner," yet the presence Of the vanquished
foe awakened feelings of chivalrous gen.
erosity and forbearance.
This fact was of itself sufficient to
teach the Southerners that the war was
but the exercise of firm resolve to en-
force obedience to the provisions OF the
National Constitution and laws of the
land. On reaching the fort Maj. Hal
pine, who had been placed in command
by Gen. Gilmore, met Col. Terry and
relinquished his charge. He lei the
way into the fort through an arched
gateway; and, after stumbling over a
mass of rubbish composed of fragments
of timbers and bricks from the works,
the Union force told off to occupy the
place
FOUND ITSELF SAFE
within the walls of the fort. There was
sufiiciency of light to indicate the
confines of the structure, with the guns
and traverses on the walls, the bomb
proofs, which were timbers standing on
end, nearly vertical in position, the
top ones leaning against the walls,
forming a wooden defense inside the
brick one. 1t was truly melancholy
scene-one that almost beggars descrip-
ton.
During the bombardment of the two
days 5,275 shots were fired; 1928 were
from rifed cannon. On Sunday, the
18th, the prisoners were divided into
two parties. About two-thirds of the
men were placed in the Ben De Ford.

The sentinels of Col. Terry's regiment
having been duly posted, the surrender
Of Fort Pulaski was an accomplished
fact.
Thus ended one Of the most remark
able bombardments of the present age.
For the completeness of its arrange
ments, and the speedy effect of the firing,
the siege and capture of Fort Pulaski
stands without parallel in the annals of
