GOOD ROADS NOTES.
Missouri Road Convention.

Missouri Road Convention.
A large and harmonious convention
in ST. Louis spent two days in debat:
ing the road question. The principal
questions were the most feasible
means of improving the highways, the
best method of utilizing the labor OF
criminals, misdemeanants and tramps,
and plans for submission to the Legis'
lature. A committee Of fifteen was
appointed to suggest q method OF fu'
ture procedure.
It was resolved that the ninety
counties in the State which are au'
thorized to levy tax Of sixty cents
for county purposes be asked to set
aside one third of it for road improve.
ment. If this was made law, good
roads would be built. A resolution
| was adopted asking the submission Of
o constitutional amendment permit
ting county courts to increase the ia,
levy for road purposes, and another
resolution in favor of State highway
commission. The Missouri Road I'm
provement Association was invited t.
unite with their organization, and i
was decided to hold the next conven
ton in St Louis.

Russis's Magnetic Phenomenon.

Experiments that have been made
by Russian and French savants in con-
nection with the remarkable deaec-
ton Of the magnetic needle over an
immense area in Central Russia, says
a New York Sun special, have given
curious results.
The observations were confined to
the strip of country between Moscow
and Kharkov, distance Of about $50
miles. The needle showed the great.
est alteration in the province OF
Kursk, where in the north it was de-
flected twenty degrees. One hun
dred and ffty-miles southeastward
the DETECTION exceeded ninety-six de.
grees, the needle pointing east and
west. instead of north and south.
Engineers who are engaged in build
inp railroads in that part Of the coun'
try are much interested in the expert
ments. They speculate as to how
the magnetization will affect the du
rability of the rails.
II is known that rails are usual,
more durable when laid north ane
south than in other directions, tn
greatest wear from magnetism beinl
when they are laid due east and west

The prejudice of the Chinese against
railways has not yet been overcome.
The latest mails bring q curious story
about the experience of the surveyors
who are laying out the line between
Picking and Hankow. The route is
very cirouitous, in order to lift the
track above the overflow of the rivers
upon the plains, and was decided upon
after long study and many difficulties.
Imagine the disgust of the surveyors
when, after an interval of three
months, they attempted to 60 over the
line a second time and discovered that
every one of the stakes they had driven
had been carefully removed and every
other landmark they had left to indi'
cate the route had been obliterated.
Nearly two-thirds Of the work had to
be done over again, but it was not at
tempted until an edict was issued by
the governor of the province prohibit
ing the disturbance of any of the sur
veyors' marks under penalty of death.
Barrias, the sculptor, has already
begun the statue of Victor Hugo for
the Paris exposition in 1900. 1t will
| represent Hugo as young and vigor'
GUS man. The figure will be seated on
q rock, one hand supporting the chin,
the face framed in long hair. On the
four sides of the plint will be figures
representing epic and lyrical poetry,
satire and the drama. Great interest
is being taken in the work and Barrias
declares that it will be his masterpiece.

that ornament the home of the Rev.

does that of this white~haired lady
who sits in the corner of the redemp.
ton division of the Treasury Depart
ment, and with patience handles I'm.
der glass the ashes and scraps Of
paper which once represented money.
yesterday she received a box Of
charred bills, black and ready to crum.
bic to dust, but the bills had been in
roll, and while completely burned,
the ash was still in the roll when it
reached her desk. She was able to
follow the tracings marked by the ink,
and so familiar is she with every form
of currency that even small section
of these tracings enabled her to iden-
tify each and every bill. This box
came from Chicago, and the money
will all be redeemed, because the ash
still carried the tracings Of the ink.
Another box reached her from Chicago
this week, on which she is at work. It
is accompanied by an affidavit that
there was 800 in silver certificates.
The charred remains were in scraps
not more than half an inch wide and
an inch long. To the ordinary obser:
yer they were simply oharred bits OF
paper, but to Mrs. Browns practiced
eye there appeared on one tiny scrap
the plated tracing on the back Of the
500 silver certificate. The fire had
completely destroyed the paper, but
the ink presented the tracing as it will
do in the ash. Mrs. Brown was able
to certify that there was 500 silver
certificate in the box of ashes. she
will probably find other bills before
she gets through with the box, and she
may be able to redeem oil the money
burned.
She also has in her desk the scraps
of currency found on the lake front in
Chicago several years ago. She has
been able to put together these scraps
so as to make good two $500 bills, one
$50 bill and several Of smaller de-
nomination, but, as this money was
found and the Government does not
redeem money that has been found
for fear that the loser may put in
claim, the bills remain in Mrs. Browns
desk unredeemed. She received
package from Chicago recently con
tanning a number of bills amounting
to 800, which were rotted by weathe'
exposure. They bore every evidence
of having been found, but the sende
, did not vouchsafe any explanations
and what can be determined will b
a redeemed. Here is one phase Of tn
case where honesty is not rewarded b.
\ Uncle Sam. If you find money whic
{ has been torn into scraps, as in tn
lake front case, just send it to tn
q Treasury without explanation or cor
|fession. It will be redeemed. But
i you confess that it was found Unc]
: Sam will keep it. And if your none
+ is burned do not handle the ashe
a Just gather up the whole mass Of asht
a as carefully as possible, try not
a break up the lump, and send it to tt
q Treasury. Mrs. Brown will dig o.
- the denominations and redeem the
if it is possible.

Two Women Split Logs for Living.

~~0~
Splitting logs is the vocation fol.
lowed by two women in the woods
back Of Wallis station, on the Penn.
sylvania railroad. Annie and Mary
Wilson are the names of these two
women. They are sisters. They
split rails and make pit posts and caps
for the Spring Hill Coal Company,
whose works are between Wilmerding
and Wallis. They do oil the work OF
telling the trees, saving them into
proper lengths and finally with their
axes splitting them into pit posts.
They are assisted to some extent by
their younger brother. The girls
work together always aud can swing
an eight-foot cross-cut saw through an
oak tree with apparently as much ease
as some women run typewriter.
When the tree is sawed through
and ready to split one of the girls sets
an iron wedge into one end Of the log
and with a large maui weighing about
twenty pounds drives it in, splitting
