TO help the stone to bind is to thor
oushly sprinkle it with water before
and during the rolling process. Almost
| every kind of stone has more or less
cementing qualities and its saturation
with water while it is being rolled
serves admiral bly, to help unite the diff

OF stone Is frequently of less thickness
than the layer below. This layer should
also be thoroughly and repeatedly
rolled without the use of gravel or dirt

or abundant water to help cementing 1t.
After the layers of stone are entirely
completed and have been thoroughly
rolled and packed, it is we'll to spread a
layer OF gravel, by way of top dressing,
and to roll that thoroughly Better still
Is to make this layer of stone screen

gravel does. This dressing will prevent
wearing the macadam road proper, and,
as it disappears with use and travel,

"A macadam road, properly built and
with proper slope to each side, will
readily drain off water and snow. The
object of all road experts is to so con-
struct macadam road into the foun-
dation below, it is sure to work mis-

to any considerable pressure from the
wheels of heavily loaded wagons 1t is
certain to give way. Hence, the proper
maintenance and care of macadam
road are as important as its proper con-
struction. IF once the road be dam

ton is bound to continue 1t is, there

damage as it is to prevent the first

Taxpayers who are obliged to con-

is properly done. The old adage that
what is worth doing at all is worth
doing well, applies with irresistible
force. Many of us still believe that we

build first-class highways. 1t is even
more emphatically true that we cannot
afford to waste money in unsuccessful

Dying Pacific Peoples.

1t has been known for years that the
native population of the beautiful Poly
nesian islands is growing smaller and
that the day is not far distant when the
aborgines will become extinct. as is al
ready the case i'll Tasmania r. Mailer
has been making an exhaustive study
of the causes that are blotting these
people out of existence and has printed
his volumnous memoir in the Interna
tionales Archiv fur photographic.
He says that even at the time when
Europeans began to visit the islands
comparatively few Of them We're in
habited. This fact was partly due to
their isolation from other lands and
partly to natural phenomena unfavora-
Bile to human life, such as hurricanes,
volcanic eruptions. drought and other
causes that tended to exterminate or
drive out the natives. The number of
islands, however, which had never been
visited by human beings was very
small But since the white race appear
ed among the Polynesian groups the
number of inhabited islands has greatly
diminished. Some of the islands have
lost all their native population, while in
others only feeble remnant remains of
the large numbers who formerly lived
on them
Mr.. Mailer gives the following as the
chief reasons for this depopulation: In
the first place contagious maladies in
PRODUCED by the whites have destroyed
large numbers of the natives. Then
spirituous liquors have been introduced
in many islands regardless of the con-
sequences to the natives, and the drink
habit has claimed many victims. Then
the wars that have been waged by the
natives against the whites or with one
another have been made far more de-
structive by the introduction of fire
arms.
Another cause Of depopulation has
been the expectation of many natives
which, Mr.. Mailer thinks, will be COM
pletely accomplished in the course of
the next century. The fine Polynesian
race, so interesting in many aspetcs,
will be completely replaced by the
white races, particularly by the Eng
lish and Germans, and some of the ISL
andS will be occupied by the japanese
and Chinese. The natives will disap-
pear first from the largest and most
fertile islands, but they may have a
somewhat longer lease of life on the
islands that are less attractive because
smaller and less productive.
The appearance among them of the
whites produced great changes in the
distribution among the natives of the
island areas. For instance, in former
times the need of protection was great
and many villages were hidden in the
forests and perched upon elevated
rocks. The whites now maintain peace
in nearly all the islands, and great
many of these protected villages have
therefore, been abandoned. The natives
have sold many of their best lands to
Europeans or have been forced to
abandon them, and on account of their
decreasing numbers Polynesians have
abandoned a large number of villages
they formerly occupied.-New York

THE KAISER AS A COLLEGE BOY
He Loved Hard Knocks and Conviviality
and Was Favorite With His Fellows.

From the New York Sun.
The present kaiser of Germany attended
the University of Bonn, remaining there
for four terms. from 1877 to 1879. He Joined
the society called the "Borussia' and was
an active member Of this corps, like his
father, Frederick, before him. Naturally
there was some disposition to show him
consideration, but German student corps
are most democratic Institutions, and
Prince Wilhelm insisted upon being treat
ed just like the others. He took part in
the fencing bouts, giving and taking hard
blows, but there is no record of his hav-
ing been wounded. Perhaps the fact that
one of his arms is shrunken prevented
him from entering any real fights with
swords, aside from the fact that no one
would have, dared to challenge the son
of the heir apparent to the throne.
That he was very popular appears from
the fact that when he left the university
at the end of the summer term of 1879 a
solemn Komitat was rendered him on
July 81. The streets of Bonn were gaily
decorated as the students marched in
procession to the Hotel Kley, where a
great feast was spread. The prince made
speech in which he said: II am very
sorry that l must leave your jolly ranks
so soon. You have received me in the stu
dent corps and in the corps of Bonn l
have learned to understand the ruling
spirit. DOtn at the drinking bouts and in
the fencing hall. 1t is a good, German,
courageous spirit, to which I hope to re-
main true to the very end"
In 1891 the emperor presided at feast
rendered him on visit to Bonn by me
students of the university, and on that
occasion he said:
ut is my firm conviction that every
young man who enters a student corps
receives a powerful life impulse from the
spirit which prevails there 1t is the
very best training that a young man can
get for his future life. Whoever attacks
the German corps does not understand
its aims. hope that so long as there are
German student corps the spirit which is
aroused in the corps, increased by courage
and strength, will continue. telling in
good hard blows. Our duels are not gen
orally understood. But that should not
drive us astray. We who have belonged
to the student corps, we know better.
AS in the middle ages, human strength
and courage Were increased by the tur-
ners, so now by the spirit and communal
life of the corps the quality of steadfast-
ness will be raised to a higher degree to
be of the greatest value to us in the after
life
So William II, of Germany has a pretty
lofty idea of the value of the German
student life.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE
Miss Myrtle Pickle Jumped Out
of Sleigh.
WAS SEVERELY BRUISED
The Horse Ran Away With His Driver
The Horse Ran Away With His Driver
on West Park Avenue-A Sleigh
ing Party Badly Upset on
Commercial Avenue.

Miss Myrtle Pickle, well-known
her parents on East Park avenue, had q
very narrow escape from death while
out sleighriding on Sunday afternoon.
Herman Johnson one Of the proprie-
tors of the Montana Steam laundry,
and Miss Pickle were out driving to-
gether and the horse which they had
was a very vicious animal. He is q
fast PAGER and Mr.. Johnson had all he
could do to hold him back from racing.
All went well during the first part of
the afternoon, until at about o'clock,
. while Mr.. johnson and Miss Pickle were
driving along West Park avenue, the
horse, it seemed, got ambitious and
started up Park avenue at terrific
gait. Mr.. johnson tried hard to stop
the horse but this it was impossible for
him to do, and when just a little past
Hickory street Miss Pickle was 50
frightened that she jumped out of the
sleigh without the horse having mod
Grated his speed in the least. On jump
ing out the young lady alighted on her
face and when picked up was found
to be very badly bruised. She was i'm
mediately taken to her home, where a
physician was summoned and her in
juries attended to. The young lady will
be confined to her home for week or
more.
Miss Pickles escape is truly a miracu-
1ouS one, when it is considered at what
speed the horse was going at the time
she jumped out of the sleigh and also
the fact of the street being at that time
crowded with other seighs
At about 9 o'clock Sunday evening a
party of four sleigh drivers, two young
ladies and two gentlemen, had a bad
fall from their sleigh at the corner of
Cedar street and Commercial avenue.
Fortunately no injuries resulted, but the
cutter was badly damaged.
