Of the roadbed is highly serviceable.
Under ordinary conditions the earth
rs it naturally exists in carriage
road Is porous enough to receive and
ertaln oil to a depth of several inches.
AS oil and water do not combine, the
moisture Is driven off and the earth be-
comes compact to such an extent that
any future deluge of water simply
flows off over it. In order to build up
an oil-saturated surfacing of this type
certain operations are followed. Some
have gone to considerable expense In
the direction of sprinkling devices for
this work, while others use simple
oil sprinkling pipe leading from a cask
or Oil barrel, which Is conveyed over
the road on n wagon. This barrel Is
provided with the necessary control
ling devices, which are connected with
lever regulated by the driver. A form
of sprinkling apparatus is Joined to the
bottom of the tank, as in the illustra-
ton, and this sprays the oil over the
roadbed. Several trips are made, until
the ballast is saturated near the top.
after which the crust forms, which will
last for years before another treatment
is needed. Cheap grades of crude pc
troleum are used.
The drawing shows the plan usually
adopted for distributing oil over dirt
roads. 1t consists in placing barrel
of crude oil, on blocks, upon n common
wagon, which Is drawn over the sec
tons of the road which are to receive
the oil. The barrel is placed bung
down, and the pipe A is screwed in.
This pipe can project downward
through the wagon bottom or drop to
the ground over the rear. The connect
ing pipe is joined with the distributor,
Z. The latter is simply perforated
pipe. If a road surface eighteen feet
wide is to be covered, one barrel of
crude oil will do for about eighty feet
in length.

CASES AGAINST SOLDIERS.
War Department to Review Charges
OF Tni,sInughter and DcseriiOn.

The cases OF six American soldiers
charged with manslaughter are now pend
ing in the War Department. in two of
the cases death penalties have been i'm
posed. but it is thought that owing to the
circumstances there is a possibility of
mitigation of the sentences before the
final review of the cases.
There are also a number of cases of
soldiers charged with desertion awaiting
review by the department.
During the Civil War there was but one
penalty for desertion. The soldier who
was missing from camp was suspected OF
treason or treachery, and if found after
having deserted was punished by death.
During the war with Spain the crime OF
desertion was not considered so grave an
offence and many persons are surprised
at the leniency of the department in deal
ing with these men.
While there were many cases of deser-
tion among the volunteers not one has
received Il death penalty. although sew
eral have been sentenced to long terms OF
imprisonment.
