The Good Roads Prospect.


The chief obstacle to the general
use of the automobile in this country
is the disgraceful lack of good roads.
Such an event as the Paris-Bordeaux
automobile race in France or the Eng
lish excursion from London to Edln
burgh and return would be impossl.
BILE in this country, simply because we
have not got 500 continuous miles of
road fit for the automobile or for any
other vehicle.
But the movement In favor of good
roads which gained such reinforce
mentfrom the bicycle is being strength
ened by the introduction of the auto
mobile. A project has been started
among a colony of wealthy summer
residents of New Hampshire to i'm
prove tourists roadway Of 500
miles from Boston to Dublin, N. H.,
thence up the Connecticut Valley,
through the White Mountains, down
to the Maine coast and back to Boston.
The disastrous failure Of a recent
attempt to travel by automobile from
New York to Buffalo demonstrated the
disgraceful condition of the ordinary
roads in the Empire State. If the
New England project results in giving
us 500 continuous miles Of good road
it will be a valuable and much-needed
object lesson.--New York World,

The mystery of the "wabbling" Of
the earth's axis may be explained, in
the opinion of DR.. j. Hahn, German
astronomer, by assuming that the ro-
tation of our planet is Effected by
changes in the magnetic influence of
the sun. He publishes a comparison
of observations on sun-spots and on
the irregular motions of the north
pole, which appears to show coinci-
dence between the two phenomena.
During a maximum of sun-spOts the
magnetic influence of the sun seems
to be greatest, and after the passage
of such a maximum the disturbance
of the earths axis diminishes. The
fact that the earth's poles of magnet
ism do not correspond in location with
its geographical poles may, Doctor
Hahn suggests, indicate how the SUMS
disturbing action is applied. When
the magnetism of our globe is most
powerfully excited then the strain
along its magnetic axis may cause a
distortion of the figure of the earth,
which becomes less as the strain di.

very noticeable beak in the form of
large equi-lateral triangle of pink
horn, one angle being directed for
ward. It's most remarkable character
istic is that it is absolutely unable
to use its wings for flying. The first

POPULAR SCIENCE.

A young Danish engineer has con-
structed a phOnOgraph which will
take telephone messages. 1t is much
simpler than the Edison phonograph,
and instead of wax roller has a steel
band from which the message can be
wiped off after it has been delivered.
The practicability Of using electric
light for the forcing of vegetation is
maintained by a writer in Science,
who claims to have been quite sue
cessful in applying it for raising Ill
les. He finds that the arc light should
not be used until the lily-buds are an
inch long, and that it should then be
passed through glass to screen out
the ultraviolet rays. In his expert
ments dark brown burn appeared
on the plants under the naked light.
The light was continued nightly for
four months and the plants were taller
and earlier in blossoming, but less ro-
bust and with shorter-lived flowers
than those grown In the dark.
