1t has for years been the custom
with the Wellington mills, elevators
and grain firms to keep their buyers
uptown, the result being that Harvey
avenue west of Washington had be-
come the recognized center OF the
local grain market, All this will be
changed now, as an agreement be-
tween the grain firms, elevators and
mills went into effect yesterday by
which their buyers will be kept at
their places Of business. Hereafter
the farmers will have to drive from
one elevator or mill to another to get
bids on their grain. The dealers
claim that under the new arrange
ment they will be able to pay more
for grain, and that the arrangement
will suit the farmers better anyhow.

The manufacture of silk has for sew
eral centuries been the chief business
of Lyons, France. The Romans es-
tablished works there in the third CEN
tury a. ID. for the manufacture Of
cloth of gold and silver, but every ves-
tige of these was swept away by north
ern invasions. The present silk indus
try was taken there from Italy and
Spain and the Levant about the year
14GG under the fostering care of Louis
Nj. He imported machinery and wcav-
ers with the expressed purpose of di
minishing the stream of gold then flow-
ing into foreign countries. 1t is re-
corded that five aunes of silk at that
time cost from 300 to 400 francs, or
from AS to GO francs ($9.26 to $11.5S) a
yard, money then being worth about
four times its present value.

FRENCH HIGHWAYS.
Constructed on Macadam Principle.
Use of Adhesive Binders

Use of Adhesive Binders.
It was the English engineer Mac
adam who taught the French to con-
struct their modern roads. 1t was
formerly thought necessary to build a
foundation of large stones, then at
each extremity of this foundation to
place upright stones which protruded,
the whole forming a sort of casing
which inclosed all the small cut stones
that formed the road, which We're bro
ken and smoothcd over with the
weight of the loads driven over them.
NJ. Durand-Claye says in his book that
these roads We're dCtCstable. Although
some of them above the foundation
were almost two feet thick, deep ruts
impcdcd the circulation. From time to
time the corvecs, statute labOrcrs, came
to fill the rutS and holes, but as the
drivers objected to running theiI
wheels over the new stones they would
pass next to them and would soon
make new ruts which were as deep as
the first.
The principal object in Macadam's
reform was to condemn the foundation
of large stones. He demonstrated that
1t was useless. He showed tha+ if the
materials of the road proper were cut
fine enough to equally spread the
pressure upon the bottom of the casing
and the road be sufficiently impcrmca-
bic to throw to the sides all the water
that would fall upon its surface the
thickness of the small cut stones would
be sufficient for all purposes.
The new systems success was the
greater that it added economy to sim
plicity of construction.
1t was the French engineer PolOn-
ceau who first had the idea to incOrpo-
rate foreign adhesive materials for the
binding of stone roads. Before 1884
1t was thought that the debris provided
by the breaka%e OF stones under weight
was sufficient. 1t was long while be-
fore Polonceau's Improvement was
adopted, for Macadam'S following
prescription was closely followed: 1T
Is not necessary to put any binding
material on the roads; the stones put
one at the side of the other partly
crush under the weight of the wheels
and make smooth, hard surface
which cannot change with the wealth.
er."
POlOnccau suggested the filling of the
small holes with crushed debris of hard
and soft material and then have the
roads made smooth with heavy loads
passing over and over. These heavy
loads were rolled with wide wheels.
and thus the roads were delivered for
use as if they had been smoothed for
months in the common way. The po-
lonceau process is the one employed to-
day with steam machines called cylin-
ders. The only modification made in
his method is the substitution of fria-
bic, pulveriZing debris for soft, pasty
material to lessen the expense of the
crushing.
