cyclones OF West Indies.

. About So per cent OF the West Indies
cyclones occur in August, September
and October. Fortunately most of
them are not very destructive in char
acter. The records in the island OF st.
Thomas, for example, show that in the
century and half preceding 1897 that
island suffered from devastating cy-
clones only seven times though it is
the northern and eastern islands, such
as ST. Thomas. Porto Rico, Cuba and
the Bahamas, that are most frequently
in the pathway OF the severest cy-
clones.

T height years New Jersey has come
to the front as the leading State
in road improvement She has
Z now 1000 miles of modern roads,
while 800 miles of additional roads
have been applied for in excess OF
those for which contracts have been
awarded. Instead of the sandy roads
of n few years ago the State is now
covered with n network of smooth
m0cadamlZed roads made into n con
tlnuous system through well studied
plan, which State Road Commission
er X. l. Budd has pursued ever since

The product to build these roads
with State aid originated with few
farmers and at first met with bitter
opposition. IL was then taken up by
oranges, farmers clubs. county boards
OF agriculture and finally by the l.. \
W., resulting in the first State aid law
in 1892. The law in its present form
was passed in 1898. The State aid act
recognizes the fact that roads belong
to the general public Irrespective of
where they live, and that it Is not right
for the local authorities to he taxed
for roads which are largely used by
people travelling long distances, so II
provides that when property owners
along certain road desire its improve
ment two-thirds of them shall petition
the freeholders for it, agreeing there.

A resolution in the Prohibition platform,
published yesterday, began follows:
"Inasmuch as a large proportion of the
leading generals of the Union army in the
late war have testified to the injurious
effect of the regimental saloon or army
canteen, and inasmuch," etc. If the con-
vention adopts the resolution in that form
it will commit itself to a very erroneous
statement. So far from Ii being true that
a large proportion of the officers of the
army have testified to the Injurious effects
of the canteen system, large majority of
those who have been heard from on the
subject testify the other way. In reply to
inquiries among officers of the army as to
the effect of the canteen system on the
morality and discipline of the men the War
Department received 1,5OO replies. of which
only forty were opposed to the system as
now conducted. The sentiment of the army,
both officers and men. is strongly in favor
of the canteen system, including many of
both classes who do not use liquor them
