TO IMPROVE ROADS.
NEW PLAN FOR PUBLIC HIGHWAYS
IN PRACTICAL OPERATION.

steel Tracks for the Wheels of Wagons to
I;un Upon-Iiesuits of Experiments Made
by Two Engineers in Tllinois-An Inter-
esiing signed s,atcment.
For the first time there has been car
ried into practical operation a plan for
the Improvement OF public roads that
has heretofore been regarded merely
as an interesting theory that would
never rise to the region of fact. The
plan is to lay steel tracks along our
roads, so that the wheels of wagons
may run upon smooth surface instead
of on the rough and s0ggy path over
which for a greater part of the year
horses arc compelled to founder. drag
ging heavy loads. The results of eX-
periments by two prominent engineers
are here given. One series of expert
ments, made by Mr.. Abel Bliss. of New
LenoX, ILL.,, are particularly interesting,
as will be seen from the following
signed statement of Mr.. Bliss
Il have laid about 100 feet of steel
road in the public highway near my
house at New LenoX. III. The road
was first graded in proper shape. The
rails are of steel, One-quarter of an
inch thick, eight inches wide. with a
downward hange of three inches on
either side. and an upward fange Of
one inch on the outer edge to keep the
wheels on. These rails were laid on

DID You MAKE Your GRAIN.O THIS
WAY0

Here are the latest directions Use one
teaspoonful of Grain-O TO two cups of
cold water. Mix the Grain-O with half
an egg and add the water. (Be sure to
measure.) After the water gets to the
boiling point let boil for fifteen to twenty
minutes. Use cream and sugar to suit
the taste. If you have not cream use hot
milk. A lady said "The first time
drank Grain-O did not like it, but after
using it for ten days and forming the
habit, nothing would induce me to go
back to coffee This is the experience
of all. If you will follow directions,
measure it every time and make it the
same, and try it for ten days, you will
not go back to coffee. 5wl

mind. He had made her acquaintance in
the Isle of Wight during the previous
summer. One day they were standing be-
fore the emerald green St. Catherine.
From the summit of the hill the ruins
looked down upon them. All around was
holy quiet. 1t seemed as if nature was
hiding her deepest, purest thought in the
rich stiffness. AS usual. she began jolS-
ing and scoffing. Suddenly from the hill
top came the echo of her laugh; it
sounded sacrilegeous, and she shrank
back, startled.
And again he wondered if he could
have been mistaken in his judgment OF
her. Dared he tell her what his heart
had prompted? What was the truth
about that woman?
The last sound of the adagio melted
away into silence, and the room was
still. Suddenly she left the piano and
stood before him.
Surely you haven't been asleep! Now,
confess! l really believe you were doz-
ing"
Her voice sounded just as usual, and
that brought him to himself once more
He was quite disillusionized now. What
had he been foolishly dreaming? No; she
had not altered at all: she was just the
same as ever. Her seriousness was only
one of her many moods and was entirely
superficial

myself away into nothingness."
Wouldn't you rather have dreamed? p
mo. l would rather sleep the dream
less sleep. 1 shall never see you again.
You know we shall not meet after to-
night, and what will my life be without
your laugh?"
She did not reply, nor did she laugh
The edge of the thick, dark cloud was
beginning to take a silver tinge. The
moon had risen. He had taken his hat,
and as he grasped her hand he said:
And now, good-byi'
1t was his last hope. AS he could not
see her face he trusted that her hand
might tremble. But no, she was as self
possessed as ever. Once more he said,
very gently: "Good-by."
tGood-by," she answered. Not a word
more. He went, he stopped for a mo-
ment at the door, and turned. At that
instant a stray moonbeam dropped over
the edge of the cloud, wandered through
the window and rested on her face. Two
pearl drops We're rolling down the
cheeks.
"Hortense!" he cried passionately as he
sprung across the room and took her in
his arms. She rested her head on his
shoulder and did not laugh.-From the
German of Heinrich Lee.

CUBAN DEBT NOW
BEING CONSIDERED

PARIS, Oct. 1.-THE American Peace
Commissioners held their usual morn
ing session and entered upon the sixth
joint session at 2 o'clock this after
noon.
The Commissioners will meet again
on Wednesday next.
During to-day's session the Commits
sioners were occupied with the consid-
GRAFTON of the Spanish presentation of
Tuesday last and the American answer
submitted on Friday relating to Cuba
and the debt of the island.
The Spaniards will next doubtless re-
ply in writing, the conclusion or the
subject soon following.
The interchanges regarding Cuba are
now SO advanced that the Spaniards
will not fail to understand the United
States determination not to assume
any part of the so-called Cuban debt
of $500, 000,0 900. 1t should not, however,
be understood that the Americans, dur
ing the course of the treaty, have been
unmindful of certain local burdens, like
the municipal obligations of the Cuban
cities, railroad and kindred properties,
local and permanent, which may be
provided for.

Vicious Attacks on the War Depart

Cuban Debt.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Informa-
ton has reached the War Department
that a high officer of the Spanish army
very recently made the statement that
had the Spaniards been aware of the
condition of the American army, its In
ability to withstand the hardships Of
campaign, its lack of medical and other
supplies and general inefficiency, as
told in the American papers, the Span
iards would not have given UP, but
would have continued the fighting for
a long time to come, fully believing
that they would have been able to pre-
vent the capture of Cuba by American
arms. This statement is known to
have been made to the American offl-
GERS now in Cuba, and causes some I'M
easiness in official circles, as 1t may
mean that the Spaniards are not yet
ready to yield the island under the
terms of the protocol.
1t is also asserted that Madrid was
aware when it asked for peace and
when negotiations were opened that 1t
was useless to ask that the Cuban debt
be taken into consideration by the
American commission, and that 1t Is
only since the reports of the bad condi-
ton of the United States army that the
question has been raised.
The matter has been discussed in the
War Department, and 1t is probable
that when the troops are sent to Cuba
there will be force of such size and
character as to give the islanders
different impression OF the United
States soldiers than they now enter
tain.
THE impression among the Spaniards
in Cuba" said an officer in a position
to know what is going on, is that the
American soldiers are weak and puny,
incapable of withstanding hardship
and whom it will be an easy matter to
vanquish This feeling may make 1t
difficult for the Americans at first.
This impression is due to the charges
that have been made against the War
Department with such virulence and
insistence during the past few months"
