There is movement on foot to
bestow on Queen Victoria the addi-

During the short period that kim

The queen wrought four scarfs with
her own hands, to be given to the
four "best all-around men" in the

Emperor William has purchased the
Villa KONG, at Bonn, for 100000
marks, as residence for the crown

university there next summer.
Physically many of the sovereipns
of Europe would come under the gen

EXPERIMENTS WITH OIL.
q Not Only suppresses Dust ON Coun.
try Roads, hut Makes Them Far
More Durable.

I. +. White talked not long ago to
the Good Roads association of southern
California about some experiments
made by him at Chino. For the last
two years good deal has been done
IN his part of the country with oil on
country roads, the prime object being
tas on railroad beds) the suppression
or dust. This was the only thing
sought when Chino contracted for its
nrst lot of oiled roads, some rs or so
miles in length. But it was soon dis
covered that oil might be made to build
up surface that would resist the wear
OF travel, and that is the great aim
OF the later practice there. Mr.. White
SAID that the roads were originally con-
structed by contractor, who guaran-
teed "a dustless road" from MAY till
december. During the first season the
contractor sprinkled them three times
subsequently, the town undertook to
care for the roads itself, and it was
tnen found that one application of oil
would DO more good than the con-
tractors three.
vi sprlnkled directly on a sandy or
anuvial road will do little good, Mr..
Whlte says. 1t should be surfaced with
a hrmer material before the oil is ap-
phed' Sand, properly covered, makes
wonderfully firm bed. When Mr..
Whlte was put in charge of the roads
OF Ch1no, he found section of sand |
half mile long over which c.ayey
gravel had been hauled from distance. |
ne stun had once been used for maxi
ing bricks. Only few inches of it
mad been spread over the sand. Yet it
made fine road for dry weather.
When wet, holes would work through
IN a short time. But by oiling the road
was greatly improved. The gravel
employed is peculiar to southern Cali
fornia, but Mr.. White is confident that
any disintegrated granite, such as NAV
De found in other states, would worj,
equally well.
In making new roads. he first graded
Inc foundation and then put on layer
d TINS gravel seven inches thick in the
middle and six at the edges. Afterward .
ne MADE 1t nine inches thick in the {
middle and eight on the sides. The /
lounoatlon was rolled hard and kept I
vet just ahead of the gravel. The lat S

pread. A heavy orchard cultiyator

Wnen the road had dried out to 2,
