Thep people are tired of throwing
away their labor and money and re-
ceiving nothing in return. We are
talking about the road law, which
is called to mind by the condition
of our public highways. Benton
County is no exception, for Ten
nessee is famous for her bad coun-
try roads. If a law regulating the
present make-shift system can not
be enacted by the next general as
sembly, it should at least repeal the
existing law, which is a disgrace to
civilization. We want to hear this
subject discussed in the approach

No really good farming is possible
without good wagons. An old broken
down wagon, with tires always likely
to come loose and axles or wheels sure
TO break whenever any unusual strain
comes upon either, Is perhaps the mos.
expensive piece of property a farmer
can have on his farm. But the old,
WORKOUT wheels need not be thrown
aside If all else is. If the spokes are
cut down and a new tire put around,
the wheel will last a long time on II
truck wagon to be used only or the
farm. This Is much better than trying
to patch up the old wagon for going on
the road to market, and often paying
each year % per cent. of whar "A new
wagon would cost. The cheapness Of
iron enables wagon makers to sell the
best wagons more cheaply than ever
before. There Is not much reduction in
the cost of repairing, as the chief factor
in repairing old wagons is the labor.

The Minute Parts of a watch.

The watch carried by the average
man.. saws the jewelers. Review, Is
composed of nlnety-eight pieces, and
It's manufacture embraces more than
1000 distinct and separate operations.
Some Of the smallest screws are so
minute that the unaided eye cannot dis
tinguish them from steel filings or
specks Of dirt. Under a powerful mag
nIfying glass a perfect screw Is re-
vealed, the slit In the head of which Is
2-1OOOths of an inch wide. Ii takes
3OS, 900 Of these screws 10 weigh a
pound.
The h%airsprdng is a strip of the finest
steel, about niue and a half inches long,
1-10Oth Of an inch wide, and 27-100OOths
of an inch thick. The manufacture of
these springs requires great skill and
care. The strip is gagged to 2O-1OOOths
of an inch, but no measuring instru-
ment has as yet been devised capable
of fine enough gauging TO determine be-
forehand by the slzeo ( the strip whatthe
strength Of the finished spring viii be.
A 20-1O00th part of an Inch difference
in the thickness of the strip makes a
difference In the running Of a watch OF
about six minutes an hour.
The value of these springs, when fin
ished and placed in watches, Is enor-
nous In proportion to the material from
which they are made. A comparison
will give a good idea: A ton of steel
made up into h~airsprings, when In
watches, is worth more than twelve
and a half times the value Of the same
weight in pure gold. H%airspring wire
weighs one-twentieth of n grain TO the
inch. One mile of wire weighs less
than half a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations ev-
cry second, three hundred every min
ute, 1900 every hour. $4,000 every
day, and 157, $4,000 every year. At
each vibration 1t rotates about n and
a fourth times, which makes 1877 ,1OO,-
900 every year. If this be compared
with a locomotive with slx-foot driving
wheels, it will be seen how stupendous
is the amount of labor performed by
these works. Let the wheels be run
until they have given the same lumber
of revolutions that a watch does In n
year, and they will have covered a dis
lance equal 70 twenty-eight complete
circuits of the earth.

The Cache In Alaska.

The settlements along the Yukon are
few and far between, and consist, for
the most part, of the same elements.
There are the company's store; the huts
and tents of the natives; the crowd of
bowling dogs; salmon hanging In red
strips, FURNISHED with copper tinges In
the sun; little tots of children; chatter
ing women offering baskets, m~occaslns,
and trinkets for sale, and here and
there perhaps a squad of uniformed
children, marking the work of some
mlssion-good-lOoklng, clean-looking
children, but, whether Christianlzed or
not, spoiled for living like natives
again. The problem Is, What Is to be-
of them? Along the banks are oc-
caslonally met the rude huts and tents
of small parties of Indians come hlther
to cut wood for the boats or to fish; but.
however simple the habitation, 1t must
always have the cache, or storehouse,
propped upon posts to keep the supplies
out of reach of the dogs; for these dogs
a bite through a tin a and almost
climb n creased pole in search of food.
The cache should have n place on the
court of arms of Alaska; 1t is universal

Railing Down Grain.

One of the first things to be done af-
ter the snow Is off the ground Is TO run
the farm roller over the newly seeded
ground Of the previous year. This will
not only press down into the soil stones
thrown up by last winters freezing,
but 1t VIII compact the soil around the
roots Of clover. which may have been
lifted by the same means. 1t is OF
the best aids to the young clover plant
Thai we know of, and besides smooths
the rough surface, so that the clover
may be cut much more closely TO the
groueld. After the rolling 1t Is a good
plan where clover was seeded last year
to follow with a dressing of 100 pounds
OF fine gypsum per acre. How this
helps clover Is not certainly known,
though its effects are often so remark
able as TO suggest that the gypsum en-.
nbles the clover roots TO ecure nitro.

New Island on Borneo.s Coast.

A sensation has been created In the
Straits settlements and the far East
by the sudden appearance of n new isl
and off the coast of Borneo between
Nemtakoi and Lumbldian.
The Island Is forty-fve feet high, a
third of a mile long and a quarter of a
mile wide. For the most part, the ISL
and Is merely an upheaval of the bot
tom of the sea, but at its highest point
there Is n distinct mud crater, with the
cone-shaped top and sides fallen In. The
sides of the cone were evidently forced
up through a creyice in solid rock.
The British North Borneo Herald
a y the cone, which Is thirty yards In
diameter, Is surrounded by another and
larger cone. which shows that with
more pressure from beneath a much
larger crater would have been formed.
The rising Of the island was not ac-
companied by any volcanic disturbance.
The crater is scanned with crevices and
cracks, which emit gases. BY applying
a torch to a small crack In the crater,
the gas ignites and burns steadily.
