Clean Road Metal,

A principle learned from MacAdam
was that "broken stone, p-essed and
compacted, would cohere together and,
by the mutual friction OF its parts,
bear and distribute heavy pressures
as well asif it actually were the smooth
and solid slab it seems" But when
earth is mixed with the stone the fric-
ion is reduced by nearly one-half, the
material is less compact and firm and
is much less capable of bearing heavy
loads. Moisture affects the volume of
,olay. Roads in which it is used rut
badly in wet weather, even though
they are very thick, while thinner
roads in which it is not used, but in
which the stones are pressed together
by their own angles through adequate
rolling, remain firm and smooth. Road
metal should be clean, and free from
clay. The use of clay is attractive,
because, with it, light rolling seems
to give a good smooth surface, but
this is only temporary and is unsatis.
factory and expensive in the end

The few remedies which have attained to

of the most successful examples is the
Syrup of Figs manufactured by the Cali
fQrnia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike a host of
LIMITATIONS and cheap substitutes, Syrup of
Figs is permanently beneficial in its effects

,health, while inferior preparations are be-
ing cast aside ana forgotten. In Olden
times If n remedy gave temporary relief to

The first official act of NJ. Trianto-

interior, was to issue an order forbid
ding the wearing of hats at any theat-
rical representation. This met with
unanimous approval from the men and
q storm of protests from the women.
One OF Athens leaders Of fashion ap-
peared at the theater a short time ago
with her luXuriant tresses crowned
with very minute bonnet. The of.
fcer on duty politely called her atten.
ton to the printed notices forbiddins
the wearing of hats, and she was
obliged to remove the Objectionable
headgear, all the while vowing to be
revenged. The next evening the wom-
an arrived at the theater bonnetless,
but her hair was arranged in such a
manner that it was little short of a
monument on top of her head. Those
of the spectators behind her deeply
regretted that the law had not also

Eyes Like Telescopes.

It has often been remarked that
civilized people tend to become short
sighted. This is because in towns and
cities their vision is mostly confined
TO short distances. Savage races, on
the other hand, are generally gifted
with remarkably keen sight, and few
tribes are more noteworthy in this re-
spect than the African Bushmen,
whose eyes are veritable telescopes.
This power is, says writer, no doubt
wise provision of nature, for the
Bushmen are small race, and if they
were not able to see danger long
way off they would soon be extermi-
mated by their various enemies,
whether savages of other tribes or
wild beasts.
A traveller in South Africa relates
that while walking one day in COM
pany with friendly Bushman, the
savage suddenly stopped, and, gazing
across the plain, cried out that there
was lion ahead. The traveller gazed
long and earnestly in the direction in
dicated by the Bushman. but could see
nothing. Nonsense" he said,
there's nothing there" And he went
forward again, with the Bushman fol-
lowing at his heels, trembling and I'M
willing, and still asserting that he
could see lion.
Presently the native came to dead
stop, and refused to bulge another
inch; for this time, he declared, he
could see lioness with number of
cubs, fact which made the animal
more dangerous than ever. But the
European, who could see no lioness,
much less its cubs, pushed ahead, de-
claring the Bushman was dreaming.
After walking quarter of mile. how
ever, he could dimly make out an OBJ.
ject moving across the horizon. Still
doubling that it could be the object
which the Bushman said he had seen,
he continued to advance, and at last
was able to distinguish lioness, With
her cubs around her, walking leisurely
toward the woods.-Pall Mall Ga.

In these times, when such rarities
as the egg of the extinct great aux are
constantly changing hands, the prices
running into the hundreds of pounds,
it is interesting to learn that there is
in Paris a man who makes an excel
lent living by manufacturing the eggs
Of rare birds and selling them to pub
lie institutions and amateurs of orni.
thology. He seems to be workman
of exceeding skill. A visitor actually
saw him make penguin's egg that
could not be distinguished from the
genuine model displayed before him.
The shell was made OF plaster of paris,
which after being cast was hardened
by burning and then glazed. Another
of his methods is to turn the eggs of a
common species into those of rarer
one. For instance, the eggs of COM
mon fy-catcher are almost worthless,
but treated with chemicals they ac.
quire the bluish-green, shining color
of the high-priced eggs of the silk
tail. A common duck egg is stained
a silvery green and is then passed off
as the egg of a falcon, which is worth
from So to $40. Pigeons and wood
pigeons eggs are also easily trans
formed into the eggs of scarce birds.
The ordinary lark's egg, colored a
dusty brown, becomes the egg of the
nightingale, which is difficult to pro-
cure and therefore very expensive.

The Origin of Writing.

The origin of writing is subject
that has much exercised the learned of
late, and Professor Hommel, of Nun
ich, has communicated to the Society
of Biblical Archaeology some further
proofs of his theory that the Egyptian
hieroglyphics were imported from
Babylonia, where picture writing is
known to have preceded the cunei-
form. In the discussion which followed
the reading of Professor Hommel's s
paper, the Rev. @. j. Ball, chaplain of
Lincoln's Inn and distinguished
Babylonian scholar, said that he had
no doubt that the ancient Babylonian
picture-characters were the origin of
the Egyptian hieroglyphics and of the
Chinese characters as we'll. As these
three scripts, the Babylonian, the
Egyptian and the Chinese, are i'm
measurably older than any other yet
discovered-and Mr.. Bull is generally
held to have proved his case so far as

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
9 GOOD ROADS NOTES, !


Judge Monks, of the Supreme
Court of Indiana, Judge Wright, Su-
preme Court of New York, and Judge
Woodward. of Luzerne County, Penn
sylvania, are said to have concurred
in the opinion that grand juries are
legally able to indict Road Commits
sioners who fail to keep the roads of
their districts in good and proper
order.
Judge Wright said, in charging a
grand jury at Rome, N. Y, "Every
Commissioner of Highways is answer
able if he fails to perform his duties
properly, and all who are guilty of
criminal neglect should be punished.
1t is your-the grand jury's-duty to
inquire into the conduct of public
officers and bring bills against any
guilty of criminal neglect. 1t will be
your duty, gentlemen, wherever the
old labor system prevails, to see that
the Commissioners do their duty faith
fully"
Continuing, he said that the people
of Oswego County are helping to pay
for their good roads in other counties
of the State which have taken advan-
tage of the Higbie- e-Armstrong law.
Fifty per cent. of the cost OF the con-
struction of road is paid by State
taxation, thirty-tive by the county in
which the road is located, and fifteen
per cent. by the petitioners for the
improvement. He then explained the
Fuller law, which provides that cer-
tain per centage of the cost of high
way improvements in towns adopting
the money system is paid by the
State. In this country the residents
of the several road districts work out
their tax.
Oswego County was paying its share
for the improvements to roads in
other counties of the State that have
adopted the system named, and Q
careful inquiry should be made to as
certain if the Highway Commissioners
and Pathmasters of Oswego County
were honestly discharging their duties
here. -Oswego Daily Palladium.

ly demonstrated, and the profit to the
community at large of this investment
of public money may be studied to ad-
vantage by the Legislatures of other
States. The report directs especial
attention to the experiment that is to
be made of laying steel roads for heavy
traffic, as suggested by Secretary Will
son, of the Department of Agriculture.
The progress of New Jersey in road.
