stone Tells Ancient stories.

The wonder of ages has been set
tied by fragment of bas-relief dis
covered in Egypt which shows how
the obelisks and other large mono
liths were transported from the quarry
to their site. The stone is depicted
upright on a great galley, or vessel,
which is being towed by number OF
small boats alongside.
The method of detaching mono
lith from the mother rock is also ex-
planned by semi-detached block in
one of the quarries at Syene. After
having been hewn clear on three
sides, deep grove was cut into the
side still attached to the rock, and
holes were pierced, into which dry
wooden pegs were driven. The pegs
were then wetted, and the wood in
swelling broke of the monolith from
the quarry.-Philadelphia Record.

Her ralpi would vibrate with almost
inconceivable rapidity, while every

soon, however, as I commenced a

ROADS AND BRIDGES.

The bill of Representative Charles p.
Mills of Newburyport, abolishing the
state highway commission and putting
the hands of county commissions, was
heard before the committee on roads
and bridges, this morning.
Mr.. Mills opened for the bill and eX
planned its provisions. He said some
misconception seemed to exist concern
ing the bill. 1t was not proposed to
place all the work in the hands of coun-
ty commissioners, but that the work
should be divided between such com
missioners and a state engineer, to be
appointed by the governor. By his bill
Mr. Mills claimed greater economy in
administration, the saving of salaries
and expenses and consequently the
building of more roads. He disclaimed
any animus toward the commission,
but said it was the feeling of the state
that an improvement could and should
be made in the present commission and
its work.
Mr.. Mills contended that by his bill
there would be both direct and Indirect
saving in salaries and incidentals, and
that by abolishing the commission at
least $4,000 could be saved at once.
The travelling expenses of hundreds of
petitioners under the present system
could also be saved. On the cost of
construction Mr.. Mills thought much
could be saved by eliminating or cut
ting down the travelling expenses of
members of the commission or its en-
ployes. The county commissioners can
build just as good roads under the SUI
pervision of a state engineer as can be
done by the present commission.
Another point in his bill, Mr.. Mills
said, was that it provided for more
home rule in counties. 1t gave the
county commissioners more Jurisdiction
in their counties. He believed thor
oughly in home rule, and was sorry to
see tendencies to centralze everything
at the state house. Locations for roads
within counties should come before the
county tribunals. One result Of the
| passage of the bill would be the less
/ ening of the present friction between
counties and the pulling and hauling
before the highway commission over
petitions for building state roads 1t
would save also the pulling and hauling
to which senators and representatives
are now subjected by their constitu-
| ents over the state roads matter.
On the question Of apportionment, Mr..
