GOOD ROADS NOTES.
General Stone on Good Roads.

The United States Government ie

avenue, New Brunswick, N. j., as an
object lesson. As a part of the lesson
General Roy Stone, OF the road build.
ing section of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture, gave lecture
on "Road Building" The General
said that the Government has looked
out for the railroads, the rivers and
harbors, but the roads, the connections
between the city and rural districts,
have been neglected. This, however,
is now being remedied. With dirt
roads it costs farmers twenty-five cents
per mile per ton of freight moved.
Good roads save eighteen cents Of
this. General Stone went on to say
that one of the cheapest and most
practical roads of the future will re-
semble railway, with steel tracks
about eight inches wide for wheels
to run in, while the horse travels in a
gravel path. Such roads, he asserted,
can be built chesply, and will give
splendid service.

Peanut OIL.

The peanut is coming into greater
prominence every year, as factor in
the worlds supply Of things needful,
and there is hardly any limit to the
predictions Of the uses to which it may
be put. At the same time, the terri
tory in which it may be grown is
rapidly extending, and tits not too
much to hope that it soon may become
a really important crop in this country.
Peanut oil is now highly valued in
Europe, and peanut flour, said to be
extremely nutritious, is used exten.
sively in Europe, especially in hos
pitfalls. An oil factory, with capacity
sufficient to use five tons Of peanuts
daily, has been established at Norfolk,
Va. In q prospectus issued by the
company it is calculated that the re.
ceipts from fve tons OF peanuts will
amount to 235 gallons Of refined oil, at
one dollar per gallon; IT'S gallons OF
crude oil, at fifty cents; $3.50 pounds
Of -four and meal at two cents, and $500
pounds OF stock feed sixty cents per
100 pounds, making the total gross re.
ceipts S4l5.90 per day, which, it is es.
timated, would gjye a yearly profit on

A Left. t.Handed Argument.


A correspondent, supposed to be
dealer in vehicles and agricultural i'm
plements, writes as follows to Farm
Machinery:
anybody with half sense knows
that if we had good roads the farmers
wouldn't wear out one-third as many
buggies and wagons. Most of the
farmers would be riding around on
those pesky bicycles. Some Of them
would neglect putting in crops to ride
their bicycles, and consequently
wouldn't buy the implements they
wanted. The worse the condition OF
the roads the better for the dealers.
Let us have roads that will keep the
farmers from gallavantiug around on
bicycles. Let us have roads that will
keep the farmers at home attending to
their crops, which wear out imple-
ments, and, when they do come to
town, let the roads be 80 they will
wear out their vehicles quick. Don't
You see that the farmer will make more
money by staying at home attending
his farm, and consequently can buy
more implements and buggies? 1t

manufacturer and you, but I believe

you to publish this letter, though, SO
the manufacturers and dealers will
have their eyes opened and see how

this community. want to get where

will be appreciated. I'll wait and see

False Teeth to Grow in Gums.

= A Russian dentist has at length
solved the problem Of supplying ne
with false teeth, which will grow into
the gums rs firmly as natural ones,
says the Figaro. The teeth are made
Of gutta perchs, porcelain or metal, as
the case may be. At the root Of the
tooth holes are made, and also in the
jaw. The tooth is then placed in the
cavity, and in short time soft gran
ulated growth finds its way from the
Jaw into the holes in the tooth. This
growth gradually hardens and holds
the tooth in position. II does not
matter in the least, according TO this
enterprising Russian dentist, whether
the cavity in. which the tooth is placed
is one from which Q natural tooth has
recently been drawn, or whether it
has been healed for months, or even
years.

Russian Landed Estates.

Nowhere in Europe are landed es.
tates SO vast as in Russia. Striking
evidence hereof is furnished by the
will Of General Msltzeff, Of the Czar's
army, who bequeaths to his heirs, in
addition to other property, no less
than twenty-nine mines, fifteen Of
which are Of the first importance.
They afford employment to more than
$4,000 workmen. The only person in
Russia whose mining properties exceed
those of the Maltzetf estate is Elm
Demidoif.

Steel and Brick Roadways.

Secretary Wilson has given direc.
tions to General Roy Stone, Chief of the
Bureau OF Good Roads at the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, to construct a
sample steel roadway at the most con-
venient location he can find at the
Nashville exposition, where it may be
seen and studied by the visitors who
will attend the exposition during the
summer. Secretary Wilson thinks the
steel trackway for wagons is the easiest
solution of Good Roads problem, par
ticularly in the West, where stone and
gravel are scarce and the soil is deep
and sticky.
'In sections where stone is very
scarce, said Secretary Wilson, "as in
central Illinois, experiments are being
made for the construction of brick
roads. At Monmouth road has been
made OF q single course Of vitrifed
brick set on edge, laid on sand, seven
feet wide between curbs Of oak plank
and borders of broken stone to a
distance of two feet on each side. This
road has not been in use long enough
to be fully tested, but has given very
favorable impression at the outset. II
has been recommended that an expert.
ment be made with brick trackways for
wheels aud gravel between for the
tread of horses, and it is quite possible
that steel trackways may be prodtably
substituted for brick.
"A more thorough test Of brick
roads has been made in Cuyshoga
County, Ohio, where they have proved
80 satisfactory that they are being ex-
tended in several directions. The
plans for their extension call for stone
eurbing on both sides Of an eight-foot
track o. brick, the remainder OF the
road, twenty-feet wide, is graded but
not paved. These roads, however, have
been expensive, and have required
much heavy grading. The cost Of
paving is much higher than that Of a
steel trackwsy at the present price Of
that material. ."-Johnstown Penn.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

-
Is that the membrane connecting the
tongue with the lower jaw is too short.
The tongue of most serpents is
really forked, though this member
seems to be of no particular use to the
reptile.
The mouth Of the octopus is in. the
centre Of his body, and is provided
with a beak closely resembling that of
parrot.
Some moths have no mouths. The
insect after attaining perfect stage,
lives only few hours and does not
take food.
There are at least two cases on rec
ord of Ave children at birth, viz, a
woman Of Konigsberg, September 3,
1874, and the wife of Nelson, q tailor,
in Oxford Market, in October, 1900.
In Mexico are found the "agricul-
tural ants" A clearing varying from
one to thirty feet is made and is used
as q playground or exercise yard. At
its margin grows the crop, sort Of
grass. Breaks in the grass ring give
entrance to and exit from the clearing.
The seeds of the grass form the food
of the ants.
As asbestos comes from the mine il
is of greenish hue and the edges are
furfed with loose fibers. The more
nearly white asbestos is the better its
grade. The length Of fiber is also Of
great importance, the longest being
the most valuable. From the mines
the asbestos is taken to the manufac.
tories in the United States.
Static electricity modifes the human
voice seriously, as NM. Mourtier and
Granier report to the Paris Academic
de Medicine. A singer sitting upon
an isolated stool coupled to the mega
tive pole of static machine was made
to breathe the atmosphere, which was
electrified by means Of brush cleo
trode; after a short time the voice be-
came full and clear, the quality much
more agreeable, and the voice was less
rapidly tired. For some singers dy-
manic current of 1900 volts connect
ing with the electric chair is the only
remedy.
One Of the schemes for future en-
gineers to work at will be the sinking
Of shaft $4,000 or $4,000 feet into
the earth for the purpose of utilizing
the central heat Of the globe. 1t is
said that such depth is by no means
impossible, with the improved ma
chinery and advanced methods of the
coming engineer. Water at temper
ature of 200 degrees centigrade, which
can, it is said, be obtained from these
deep borings, would not only heat
houses and public buildings, but
would furnish power that could be
utilized for many purposes.
Professor Koehler's experiences Of
the effect of formaldehyde in the pre-.
servation of deep-sea fishes are we'll
worthy Of the notice Of future collec-
tors. It is we'll known that the It's
sues of many deep-sea fishes are Of
extreme softness and fragility; by inn
mersion in spirits sufficiently strong
for preservation, these tissues are
much contracted, the natural shape of
the fish often being distorted. This
is entirely avoided by the use Of the
usual forty per cent. formaldehyde,
mixed with twenty times its volume OF
water. The specimens, however, have

some days, because the formaldehyde
has been observed entirely to destroy
black pigment in very short time.

motor-car industry in Europe affords a re-
markable Illustration of the great difference
between good makeshift" and thing
SO far on the road to practical perfection
that possible Improvement is not obvious.
He characterizes the French automobile
car at present as being in the good make
shift stage" His description of the best
cars now in use is confined to those oper-
ated by mineral oils, which, he says, are
approved by the foreigners, notwithstand-
ing their unpleasant doors and their tend
ency to become unreliable at important
points in their progress. The French cars
have undoubtedly made good runs, attain
ing high rates of speed and developing GER
tain economical possibilities, but it has re-
manned for the American inventive genius
to so perfect the storage battery which
was once thought to be commercially i'm
practicable for traction purposes, as to
place on the market thoroughly prac teal
motor car, light enough for urban use and
capable of going twenty-five miles without
recharging. This may be said to be the
high-water mark in automobile develop
ment today. The next step will be either
toward increasing the limit of the run, or
increasing the number of persons that can
be carried. Judging from all known facts
1t would seem that American cleverness has
not only adopted the foreign notion, but
has advanced 1t beyond the "makes.lift
stage"
