German Editor May BE Greater New
YOrl's First Mayor.

Among the prospective candidates for
the mayoralty of Greater New York
none is regarded with more favor popu-

German Journalism in America. Mr..
Ottendorfer is the proprietor of the
New York Stats Zeitung, and has lived
in the United States since 1880. He
grew up to young manhood in Morayia,
and in 1s4s he, with Others, attempted
to overthrow the Metternich govern

the reader can take it out in guessing.
However, the scene is common enough
in one form or another, so you cannot
go amiss.
He had come home from the lodge,
or some other old place, somewhat the

This DOC Acts nn Walled.

Undoubtedly one of the most intelli-
gent dogs in the country is Alexander
C. Young's liver and white mottled full
biooded Ridgeway setter Frank"
Young lives in Flagtown, Summerset
county, n. j., and he has taught his
dog to bring his clothes to him in the
morning when he wishes to rise and
dress, to carry notes wherever he is
directed and to perform various othet
duties that richer men than Mr.. Young
intrust only to their Wallets. Among
other things Frank carries wood into
the house when Young chops it. He
has on some occasions carried as many
as so or 60 sticks, one at a time, from
the woodward into the house without
cessation, and he seems to enjoy this
end every other of the pieces of work
he is directed to do.

JEALOUS LIZARDS.
They Showed Their Anger when
Their Owner FOqd1ed others.

They Showed Their Anger When
Their Owner Fopdled others.
NJ. j. Delboeuf, a French scientist,
declares that lizards are actuated by
feelings of love and may even become
victims of jealousy. In an article
which he wrote for a French scientific
review, he tells about two lizards
which he kept in his house for several
years, both of which evinced unmistak-
able evidences of being troubled by the
same green-eyed monster which occa-
sionally plays havoc with the affairs of
human beings.
my first two lizards had been cap
tured-one in the Spanish Pyrenees and
the other at Tarn in France, wherefore
/ called them the Spanish and the
French lizards, but afterwards gave
them the names Pedro and Pierre" says
NJ. Delboeuf.
"The two lizards lived on the best of
terms for several months. Pedro was
fond of following Pierre around. and
when Pierre one day was missing the
other was sad and disconsolate.
1t was three weelIes before the lost
lizard was found, and then he was dis
covered upder the stair carpet, where
he had probably been all the time. In
the meantime another lizard was Sc
cured. The first two were males, while
the last conner was a female. Her adj
vent brought on war between the two
former friends, which became so fierce
that they had to be placed in separate
Pedro was jealous of my preference
and caresses," continued the scientist.
when he was on my sleeve L could
keep him for hours motionlcss by pass
ing my hand lightly along his body;
but if took Pierre or another lizard up
his rage broke out at once, and he
would jump upon him with his mouth
menacingly wide open.
"If, however, chose the large lizard,
he gradually drew back, as if regretful-
ly, without leaving me. Now, what
good do caresses do lizard? Dogs and
cats, they tell us, are delighted with
them. But these animals, when they
were young, were caressed by their
mothers, who licked, bit and amused
them, and it is not strange that they
should find in our cajolery kind of rec,
objection of motherly tenderness. They
play together, embrace one another
and press against one another. The
man who plays with them is like a COM
panion of a little more respectable
| species, and that is all.
"In menageries, monkeys, bears
lions, tigers and hyenas indulge in ca
resses to the point that some animals
seek them and provoke them. But liz
ards, with their scaly skin, unaccus
toned to embracing, feeling and licking
hatched in the sun! My Pedro, there
fore, presented a deviation of the feel
| ing of jealousy"

of the same thickness, to be treated in
the same manner as the first, care al.
ways being taken to roll from the out
side towards the center. With this
course the shoulders of gravel are to be
rolled and it is then ready for the last
course of screenings or dust. Care
must be taken in putting this on; II
should be spread just thick enough to
cover the broken stone and fill the
spaces between them, then watered and
rolled until the mud shall flush to the
surface. This works the dust down be-
tween the stone, making solid COM
pact waterproof roadbed.
The above description applies to
roads built entirely of macadam, but
where there are soft places or wet clay
or springy land, it is first drained by
putting in tile drain pipe, then Tel
ford paving is used. This consists OF
stones four to ten inches in width and
six to twenty inches in length and not
less than eight inches in depth, placed
vertically and lengthwise across the
roadway, making firm pavement
when driven down and rolled. Upon
this the broken stone is placed and
treated as before stated. During all
of the work from the beginning, teams
should not be allowed to pass over 1t
unless absolutely necessary, as any dis
turbing of the foundation on the diff
ferent courses of stone is an injury
to the durability of the work.-R. Z.

A Massachusetts Civil Engineer Pre-
sents His Views.

SentS HIS Ntews.
Massachusetts is foremost in the
work of constructing better roads, her
example having already been followed
by six other states. The system which
the commissioners in this state have
adopted of building one-mile sections
in different parts of the state is that
they are all parts of one general plan,
simply links in the chain, and when
completed and joined will make contin-
uous good roads through the state each
way, east, west, north and south-a
work that will contribute greatly to the
prosperity of this state. l believe every
branch of industry, agricultural, man
ufacturing and commercial, will be
stimulated and made more productive
by it. Good roads are special benefit
to the country districts, where the de
mand is for better roads than the towns
can afford to build and maintain.
Prices of farm products are fixed at
the great cities, centers of consump-
ton and distribution, and are largely
beyond the farmers control, and the
cost of transportation is a principal
factor in determining whether there
is any profit for him or not. The diff
ference between good and bad roads is
often the difference between profit and
loss, to farmers situated far from mar
ket.
1t has been my privilege for the past
year to be in position to see and know,
in a practical way, the manner and
methods of construction of these state
roads, in different parts of this state,
as now being built. 1 am convinced
that to construct roads intelligent!y
requires a good degree of professional
skill, but not that alone. Technical en-
cheering must yield to practical com
mon sense methods in dealing with the
problems constantly being met with in
the varied conditions in road building,
such as variety of soil-hilly, wet, clay
and that is necessary to thoroughly
drain, and i'll some sections loose sand
and in others good gravel, and every
where is to be met the destructive eff
feet of the elements and the deep frost,
which work a great injury to an i'm
properly built road. Economic condi-
tions must also be considered. Nearly

SOME NEW GAMES.
They Are Not Less Amusing Because
They Are Instructive.

They Are Instructive.
Only bright youngsters Gun success
fully play games like the two which
are described below, but when such
children take part in them, they are
not only interesting but also exceed
ingly instructive and stimulating.
The leader of the game prepares as
many paper caps as there are children
to ioin in the game. Across the front
of each cap the name of an author or
book is written in large print letters.
The caps are then placed on the heads
of the children-not by themselves, but
by the lcader--in such way that no
one sees the name on his own cap. The
game is then game of guess-that is,
each player is kept busy trying to
guess the name on his own cap, the
only clew being afforded by the ques-
tions asked of him by the other play
ers.
One bright lad was much puzzled a
few moments by such questions as
these:
"How is the word 'jugular' spelled?"
"How would you divide the word
singer please?"
HAS real one or two syllables?"
None of these questions gave the lad
any light, but the next revealed the
name on his cap:
"Please give me the definition OF
'pachydermatous,' and tell me whether
1 pronounce it correctly"
"Pshaw," declared the boy. 81 must
be the dictionary"
And so he was. Books" is the best
name for the form of the game just in
dictated, but if the queries were like
those which follow, Author Questions"
would be better title:
"What was it Bill Sykes kept seeing
after 'Nancy's' murder?"
"Can you tell me why Nicholas Nic-
llleby' whipped old squeers?'
"Why was Mr.. Dorrit' thrown into
prison?"
Anyone who has read the stories
written by the Master of Gad's Hill
will know his own cap to be labeled

Beetle as Undertaken.

There is a species of beetle in Aus
tralia which act the role of ener-
getic undertakers that carefully bury
carcasses left on the soil. AS soon as
they smell fieldmouse, mole or fish
in state of decomposition, they come
by troops to bury il, getting under the
body, following out the ground with
their legs and projecting the rubbish
they dig out in all directions. Little by
little the carcass sinks, and at the end of
"a hours the hole is several inches deep.
They then mount it, cast the earth down
into the grave so as to fill it and hide
the body from sight. The females will
then lay their eggs in the tomb, where
the larvae will afterward find an
abundance of food.
