WOOD PAVING.
A Now Method Said to ne tho Best

a A>oW hotuou chtu ~ ho Ibcbt
Known.
The decision of the city council of
London, upon recommendation of the
city engineer. to pave two new streets
with wooden pavements has caused
new interest to be taken In wooden
oavements on both sides Of the At
antic. This new system Of wood paw
ing is said to be the most durable and
the most easily repaired. 1t is said
that 1t is the only kind Of wooden
pavement that can be relied upon to
stand the traffic OF cities like London
and New York. Instead OF fashioning
the wood blocks into dice, hexagons.
polygons or dove-tailed complications
in any form. by the new process
barked trees Of any size or quality are
sliced into cylindrical pieces about 10
inches in thickness. The largest pieces
arc put down first into good founda-
ton, and then the smaller pieces, until
the remaining interstices may be filed
up with what may be called pigs.
Ramming renders the whole one. solid
mass OF timber. and not chip is vast
ed. The surface presents end grain
only, and with the different sorts and
Gizes afford ruch better foothold than
either granite blocks or asphalt.

ro,,tsp... Of Cuban..

1t has been generally stated that the
Cubans are a wonderfully courteous
and polite people. But careful study
of their characteristics leads me to the
conclusion that no class among them
excels Il like class of our own people
In the cOurtesies of life. If 1t be claim
ed that they are more expressive In
making their politeness known, 1t must
be granted, but the essence of the net
is In no sense superior to true Aneri-
can pollteness. An introduction to Il
well educated Cuban or Spaniard, by
some one whom he knows, is sufficient
to prompt from him, with extreme man
ifestntlons Of cordiulity, the tender of
his house, as If 1t were given away for
all time, mi casa esta numero," such
and-such street, "esta In disposition
de usted,' which. translated freely,
means that his house is ut sucl-and-
such number, and is placed at your
disposition. 1t sounds very hospitable,
and seems to express more than We are
In the habit of offering; and at the
same time 1t means no more than our
invitation for n stranger, authorita-
lively introduced, 10 call ut our resi-
dcnce at his pleasure.

hind the board are small springs and

Extending from the machine, for some

ance 1t presents to the average spec
tator, and is probably as puzzling as
Chinese newspaper. In reality, how
ever. when its workings are watched
and explained by Its inventor 1t Is
really one of the most simple Of mod
ern scientific apparatus. The amount
of work man does with his muscles
is recorded on a moving surface by
means of a stylus attached to the short
end of ten-foot lever. the other end
Of which is attached. by means Of the
leather straps, to mans body, and
the ends are so calibrated that II in
the performance Of test Of muscles
the part of the body to which the strap
was attached moved two and one-half
feet through the air, the stylus re-
cords a line Of one inch at the record
ing surface. The machinery which
moves the recording apparatus Is
clockwork, and is to be controlled in
such an easy manner that small boy
could operate the machine. Previous
to the completion OF the ergograph the
methods by which the results of ath-
letic work as regards benefits to the
body were only attained by process
of the most complicated sort and unin-
telligible to the ordinary gymnast. but
now In the short space OF an hour the
complete measurements OF an athlete.
which show comparisons with the
same muscles on the other side OF the
body, can be had. The ergograph Is
an instrument which will stand usage
Of all sorts. The measurements, which
are always in plain sight, he recorded
on cardboard with pencil, and can
easily be computed to as minute q de-
tail as one-fiftieth OF an inch.

A series Of outdoor Saturday after

AS the noted Democratic leader and

Mrs. Mclean are among the most

Wouldn't you be surprised IL you
should see swarm OF little eggs danc-
Ing under your oak trees some day
In Shasta county. CAL. the residents
are treated to such an exhibition very
often. 1t recently has been discovered
that the oak leaves OF that part of
the country are frequently covered on
their undersides with masses OF insec,
eggs that, as the leaves are shaken,
fall to the ground and hop around like
chickens with their heads cut of. Some
of the eggs are so lively that they
spring into the air TO n height OF 1G
inches. although they are not as large
as kernel Of wheat. The cause OF all
this disturbance is very lively grub
inside OF the egg. This little creature
becomes anxious to make little Jour.
ney in the world and tries to break
through the shells that holds 1t se-
curely. The contortlons OF the inject
are so fierce that they make the shell
bob about like hot chestnut over the

Wooden n-d.,r.a. Return to rn,nr.

Wooden bedsteads are coming into
fashion again. not only In this coun-
try. but In England, whence the Idea
OF the metal bedsteads WAS imported.
Aside from the love OF change which
has It's effect in causing many house
keepers to revert TO the wooden bed.
the advance in the price Of brass Is
partially responsible for this revival.
Then many persons like to have seta
of furniture and can match things up
better with n wooden bed than with
one OF iron or brass. Most people who
have welcomed the simplicity and
cleanliness OF the metal beds Will To
loaih to give them up or believe that
any one Will. but the fact remains thu,

ORIENTAL FIRE-wALKINo.
Bare Feet Wholly Uahsrmsd by white
Hot Stones.

Andrew Lang, who has written ex-
tensively on myths, rituals and strange
human practices, has recently made u
collection Of stories that remind one
Of the experiences Of Shadrach, Mes
bach and Abednego. In India, Japan
and a number of the South Sea islands
custom still survives which is known
as the fire walk" Sometimes 1t is
prefaced with incantations, and It IS
usually followed by feast. The relig-
ious part of the ceremony is conducted
by priests. The origin of the custom,
both in respect to time and place, is
apparently unknown, but It is possible
that the rite has now lost some OF Its
carrier significance and detail. The es-
sential feature of the performance. at
least from the point Of view OF the
uninitiated. is walking barefoot over
bed of stones that have been rem
dered red or white hot by fire. The
excavation like that prepared in New
England for a Rhode Island clambake.
Logs are cut into suitable lengths AMI
piled over the rocky foundation. and
these are then ignited. From four
or Ave hours to day are consumed
u this part OF the preparation. which
has been preceded. Of course, by the
work Of digging the pit or oven and
arranging its rocky foundation. The
embers having been hastily raked on.
and red hot or white hot surface hav-
ing been exposed. several men de-
or less leisurely across the stones. In
most cases they suffer no apparent
harm. An Englishman who tried the
experiment himself. and was accom-
panied In his undertaking by three Of
his fellow-countrymen. furnishes Mr..
Lang with a short account. He is Col.
Gudgeon. British resident on one of
the Society islands. Raiatea. The
glowing stones on this occasion afford
ed n path twelve feet long. The act
OF walking over them preceded the
ceremony OF cooking the Il plant. and
was first performed by priest and his
attendant. They went down into the
oven. bearing branches OF the Il tree.
On leaving the pit the priest offered a
bifurcated branch to Colonel Gudgeon.
saying, Il hand my power over to
you" The attendant did the same to
one OF the other whites. The remain
ing two Englishmen held no II
branches. but merely walked behind
Col. Gudgeon. Three Of them escaped
without harm. The fourth. who. by
the way. looked backward after start
ing. was somewhat burned.
