horses are compelled to founder drag
ging heavy loads. The results of sx-
periments by two prominent engineers
are here given. One series of expert
ments, made by Mr.. Abel Bliss, of
New Lenox, ILL.,, is particularly inter
esting, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing statement of Mr.. Bliss:
II have laid about 1C0 feet of steel
road in the public highway near my
home at New Lenox, III. The road
was first graded in proper shape. The
rails are of steel, one-quarter Of On
inch thick, eight inches wide, wide q
downward fange Of three inches on
either side and an upward Aange Of
one inch on the outer edge to keep the
wheels or. These rails were laid on
the crown of the grade and pressed
into the soil to the depth Of the fange
or until the soil ,pported the rail.
The downward fang prevent the soil
from being pressed aw y from the rail
and hold it there, making firm founda-
ton, so that no ties are y7cessary on
which to rest the rails. These rails
ore made continuous by the fastening
of the ends together with tishplates.
"a mile of road requires about sixty
tons of steel, which can be produced
in quantities for $500 or less. One
cubic yard OF gravel is required to the
rod"

At last New York is to have 20
illogical garden in keeping with her
position among the great cities of the
world. It will be the largest and
most complete in existence. The
vaunted gardens of the European cap
itals will pfle into insigniflcnnce by
comparison. The final plans, says the
New York Herald. have been sub
mitted to the Park Board by Professor
Henry L. Osborn, Chairman of the
Executive Committee of the New York
Geological Society, and as soon as the
necessary preliminary arrangements
have been made the active work will
begin.
After eight months OF careful study
of the adopted site in Bronx Park, and
after systematic examination of the
large European geological gardens,
Director William Il. Hornady sub
mitted to the geological Society pre-
liminary plan for the development of
the garden, which was reproduced in
the Herald Mt the time. This plan
was approved by the Executive Com
mittee, whose Chairman has been one
of the most active promoters of the
geological garden scheme, on a broad
scale, and the final plan, now matured,
is merely a careful elaboration of Mr..
Hornady's first scheme. The design
of the central glade, formed by the six
larger buildings, is the work of Helm
& La Fargo, architects, and for the
rest of the plan Director Hornady and
Charles N. Lowrie, landscape archi-
tect, are responsible.

Last Christmas there was great
surprise in the little town OF Car
berry. For years and years-ever
since the boys and girls could remem-
ber-there had been apublic celebra-
ton in the town hall, with huge
Christmas tree lighted from top to
bottom with candles and bright with
all sorts of presents for the boys and
girls of the village. Usually old Cap
tain Conklin in his big buffalo over
coat, which was buckled tight with n
string of sleigh bells, acted as Santa
Claus and kept everyone laughing and
expectant as he passed out the gifts,
reading off the names one by one in a
big, hearty voice.
But last year it was all different, so
different, indeed, that Carberry is
going to try the same kind of cele-
bration again this winter. And it was
quite unique enough to furnish ideas
for any of our inventive boys and girls
who wish to get up something new
and striking for this years Christmas
entertainment.
You see old Captain Conklin was
taken sick early in the winter and had
to go south, and a Christmas tree
without Santa Claus would have been
no celebration at all. So the principal
of the Carberry school and some OF
the older pupils got together and dis
cussed the situation. As a result they
were appointed Q committee on ar
rangements for the celebration, il
being understood that they were to
have the entire work of decorating the
hall and of arranging the presents.
From that time on dense cloud oi
secrecy hung over the school. The
teacher and his little band Of helpers
which included about dozen of the
older boys and girls-held q meeting
early every night at which the details
of the great plan We're discussed. BY
day they all went around with wis'
glances at ono another and frequen
mysterious conversations, until the
younger folk OF the town were all bu
wild with curiosity. 1t was also tn
