WEIGHT OF ROAD ROLLERS.


4 Steam Machine of About Twelve Tons
Best For General Work.
There are sections Of the country which
pride themselves on their macadam roads,
but which fail to construct them in
scientific manner and do not get the re-
suits that should follow such heavy ex-
penditures AS they make. One serious
fault is the lack of proper rolling, light
rollers drawn by two or four horses be-
ing employed. They cannot compact the
stone by such methods and consequently
resort to free use of clay for "bndng"
purpose. a smooth surface is secured at
the outset, but it soon wears and ruts
and gets muddy with every storm.
In considering the best weight for a
roller The Municipal World states the
case fairly, as follows: "a heavy road
roller is without question an indispen-
sable implement In the construction of
macadam streets. Macadam roads were,
of course, built before steam rollers were
invented, but crops were harvested before
self binders were invented. The effect of
roller in rOadmaking is as great an ad
vance on the old results as is the use of
the self binder on the work of the cradle.
There are different kinds and classes
of rollers. The horse roller, weighing
six or eight tons, will do fairly well if
a steam roller cannot be afforded, but the
the horse roller is not sufficiently heavy
and has to be used much longer on given
section than heavy steam roller to pro
duce the best results. The feet of the
horses, in eXterting sufficient strength to
move the roller, sink into and disturb the
road metal, and thereby iniure the shape
and quality of the roadway. There is a
danger. on the other hand, of having a
steam roller which is too heavy. A very
heavy roller will sometimes sink into loose
soil and create mound oyer which it
cannot pass. The same result will some
times occur with an excessively heavy
roller on a layer of loose stone The
heavy roller is more liable, too, to injure
underground pipes, catch basins, Gull
verts, bridges or disturb sidewalks.
For these reasons roller exceeding 10
or u tons in weight is frequently not
desirable. In districts where the natural
soil is gravelly or of q stiff clay heavy
roller may generally be operated success
fully, but some municipalities have made
the mistake of purchasing a too heavy
roller and have found it necessary to use
light horse roller in consolidating the
subsOil and first layers. Nor if the stone
used in the construction of macadam
street is of a soft nature is heavy roller,
say of 20 tons, desirable even in the
finishing courses, as the crushing effect
has been found in some cases to crumhle
and pulverlze the stone rather than mere
" consolidate it.
For new work, in which the dirt
foundation must be rolled. weight of 2
tons is generally the most serviceabe.
but for picking up an old roadway and
reconsolidatiug it or for finishing a new
work - tons is better. Where town
owns only one roller it is generally
advisable to consider very carefully the
work to be done before purchasing a
roller of over y tons weight"

gard to foreign nations is, in extending
our commercial relations to have with
them as little political connection rs
possible"
1t has lately been the concern Of many
British journals at just what iuncture the
United States will interfere in the affairs
of Europe. They are pleased now to
place this country among the "world
powers" and to associate rise to this
eminence with the decline of Italy,
Spain and Austria Hungary. They saw
almost immediate entry into the arena
Of European affairs when Commodore
Watson's fleet seemed about to sail for
the purpose of attacking ports OF the
peninsula but now they are in guam
dairy. Such speculation betravs pro
found ignorance of public opinion in this
country. These journals do not appear
to conceive that there is no insuperable
obstacle to a return to policy OF non
interference. The strength of the United
States to uphold such policy, however,
has been demonstrated so far that danger
of interference in its affairs has been APP
probably diminished. The protection OF
our rights of equal privilege in China
and every other country with which we
have free intercourse will be the care of
successive administrations, and the
question of our future position in former
Spanish possessions over which we now
hold control will receive the just decision
of time and the wisdom of national eX-
perience.
One thing is certain. We shall adhere
to policy Of national ISOLATION if this
means the molding of our own destiny
without the influence of any other
power Chicago Record.

results Of p verys interesting study OF the
volume of 'rade with ,.- tropics, which
qots tar to Justify the conclusion which
he reaches hat TIA great rvnl'1"i TN
future + To boz fol the control OF this
trade.
His survey !. especially devoted to
.honiug tte considerable share which
Great Britain and the United States have
in this trade, and its Importance as
compared with other features OF their
commerce. For the purposes of his
comparison, he takes the tropical and
sub-tropical regions of the earth as en-
braced in the belt of territory Oh each
side of the equator within the parallels
of 20 degrees north and &c legrees south.
Outside of this lies in the northern
hemisphere practically all Of the United
States and of Europe and the greater
part IF Asia, including Japan; and in
the southern hemisphere Cape Colony
and Natal, the Argentine Republic and
Chile, aud the whole of the Australian
colonies except Queensland are excluded
During the year 1896 the trade OF
Great Britain with the tropics amounted
to $500 OOO. 900: with the English speak
ing world. not including the British
tropics. it amounted to Sligo, OOO,OOO.
Together these two items exceeded by
S20, 100000 the amount of British trade
with all the rest of the world.
The comparison which Mr.. Kidd
makes of the trade of the United States
takes the figures of 1895 for basis. In
that year. the trade of this country with
the countries in the tropical belt
amounted to S3lG.0OO,OO0. our trade
with English-speakng countries, eX-
GLIDING British tropical colonies, aggIe-
gated 500, 100000; aud these two to-
gether amounted to almost exactly two
thirds of our total foreign trade.
Briefly stated, therefore. it appears
that more than One-half of the total
foreign trade of Great Britain and two.
thirds that of the United States is either
mutual Interchange or trade with the
tropics; or, in other words, that Anglo
Saxon trade with all the rest of the
world, excluding these two sources, Is
in one case less than half and in the
other only one-third. Moreover. as an
other comparison which Mr.. kidc
makes shows. the combined trade of the
/ United States and the United Kingdom
with the tropics amounts 10 Al per cent
of their total trade with the rest of the
world outside of English-speakiue
/ lands.
This exhibit indicates how large 8
stake England and America have II
tropical trade, and to how large an eX
tent they already control it.-Bostor

EoREsr PRESENTATION.

Among the many scientific gatherings
that are to be held in this city this week,
none should command greater popular
attention from its intrinsic interest than
the convention of the American Forestry
association which is to be held in Horti-
cultural Hall There is urgent need that
public opinion should be properly edu-
Gated and directed on this important
subject. BY the rapid destruction of
our forests we are forcing upon ourselves
a condition which must seriously menace
both our industrial and agricultural
welfare in the future. The results may
not be seriously experienced within the
next few years, but unless change is
made and peremptOrY check applied to
this careless and wholesale denudation
of land. the climatic conditions of the
United States cannot fail to undergo "a
material change for the worse.
In those parts of the world where the
forest growth has been destroyed, not
only is the average rainfall materially
reduced. but what is of vastly more i'm
portance. the beneficial effects of it are
greatly lessened. Proper natural irri-
CATION is obtained by the slow disap-
pearance Of the water when held back
10 the hills by an abundant vegetation.
IT, however, the rain falls upon de-
nuded hillsides, it runs off and eXhauStS
itself with great rapidity. There is a
flood or torrent for few hours, after
which the water courses dry up. permit
ting the surrounding country to be
parched and dried by the unsheltered in-
| hueuces of the great heat of the sun.
Those who have travelled through
great areas in the western part of oul
country. where artificial systems of IT.
rigation have been adopted have had
strongly impressed upon their mind the
force of the biblical statement concern
ing the water of life" for without
water diversified vegetable life become;
impossible. In New England we have
of late years been experiencing some OF
the sad effects Of defOrestatiOn in the
deterioration of our water power sys
tens. Take, for example, the MerrimaC
river. The tendency to floods in tn,
spring in that stream has steadily in
creased. while during the dry season
the amount Of water in the river channe
has been far below what it was in pre-
vious years. Forest preservation is
subject which has to be treated on
broad scale. and it can only be acter
upon properly when public opinion i
sufficiently enlightened to support tn
state or national government in sue
action as may be deemed wise for tn
best interests of all.-Boston Herald.
