To Destroy Spain's Navy.

The Brooklyn IN. Y Eagle has re-
celved letter from Hudson Maxim, of
London, Eng, containing remark
able offer to the United States Govern
ment to furnish it at cost of half q
million dollars, ship which he claims
TO be capable of destroying the entire
Spanish navy. The plan involves the
uso of aerial torpedoes, invented by
Mr.. Maxim. The inventor is a brother
OF Eiram Maxim the famous inventor
of weapons OF destruction, and he says
one cruiser, built and equipped com.
plete, with torpedo guns, would be suf-
ticient to destroy every Spanish war
ship which it might encounter at sea.
The cost OF such cruiser would be
about 800, 600. Mr.. Maxim holds that
If his inventions are put into practice
armor will be rendered absolutely use

of the ground in front or it equal to

Decay Follows Neglect.

A Columbus (Ohio) engineer states
that his city has spent $4,000, 900 on
improving ia miles of streets, but
that they have been allowed to get
into such shape that an expenditure
of S250,000 for repairs would hardly
put them in decent condition.
Unless the roads are constantly
watched and repaired, just as regular
ly and carefully as the great railway
companies watch their road beds, they
will deteriorate very rapidly and prac-
tically have, to be rebuilt every few
years. TlIfre is no usc in building
expensive iroads, and leaving them to
go to ruin from neglect.
In q recent address, T.. III. Thayer
stated on this subject that "a man
with one horse and cart, working
eight months of the year, can keep
seventy miles of good road in con-
stant, effective and complete repair at
the outside expense of $3.50, which is
So per mile, while the cost of even at
tempting to make passable the ordi-
nary country road exceeds $50 per
mile. A dirt cart is loaded
with crushed rock or gravel With a
hoe, shovel and rammer, the re-
pairer, as frequently as the task is as
signed him will permit, starts out on
the road. Every washout he repairs,
every rut he fills up, loose stones he
throws out, rough places he levels,
distractions in water courses he re-
moves, and his tireless efforts day af-
ter day result in keeping the good
road in good repair and making happy
every man aud woman who drives over
the highway"
1t is only by following the example
set by railway companies in the care
of their road beds, and acting upon
such suggestions rs those above given,
thnt the highways can be efficiently
maintained and properly preserved.
