From the Providence Journal
Oiling the ballasted bed of a railway an
a preventive OF dust appears now to be
quite generally accepted as an approved
part OF American railroad practice but
the application of the same methods to
highway maintenance Is just beginning to
attract attention. AS may naturally be
supposed. attention was first directed to
this matter in those parts of the country
where the climate is the driest and where
the rainfall II light. On the Pacific coast
the dry season lasts eight months and
the roads get into a deplorable condition
in spite of the best endeavor and lavish
expenditure. Mr.. ID. w. Longden In q
paper before one of the California societies.
describes the experiences had there with
an attempt to oil the highways. The first
attempt at preservation was by watering
the roads. but droughts INTERVIEWED, and
then there was no water for road sprin-
king. The first application of oil to the
main roads of Los Angeles county for
the purpose OF laying the dust was made
In the summer OF 1888. when six miles were
treated. In 1890 the same roads were oiled
again, and seven new miles were added to
the field Of operations During 1900 ffty
miles Of roads have been oiled, mostly
twice. and the result has given great sat
isfaction. There is yet something TO be
learned regarding the best way Of applying
oil to roads to lay the dust, but IL has
been demonstrated that weil-oiled roads
are dustless.

Other Points.

1.-The Massachusetts state board of health
has made repeated experiments with the
Lawrence unfiltered and filtered water, as
have the Lawrence water board at their
own experimental station. The board has
officially announced its opinion that it is
quite impossible for the typhoid germs to
pass through the Lawrence filter, broad
statement but one substantiated to a great
extent by the fact that the experiments
show that 90 per cent OF the bacteria is
eliminated from the water after 1t has
passed through the filter.
They have little trouble renewing the
old sand using device invented by SUI
perintendent Salisbury. and this is an inn
portant element in the problem of sand
filtration. Washington will have the bene-
fit of the experiments already made and
results demonstrated at Lawrence, when
work is begun upon its proposed plant.
Lawrence has already spent over &c.
200. 600 in the construction and maintenance
Of its plant, and derives a revenue OF over
100000 a year therefrom. The filter has
never failed to meet all demands made
upon It. OF course, the volume of water
used daily. about 100000 gallons is small
compared with the daily consumption of
Washington, but the fact that the filter in
a climate which Is intensely cold in win
ter, has never failed Is an important To-
cal factor as to what Washingtonians may
expect In this respect"

ut Is essential to arrive at a correct
statement in the classification of typhoid
cases to trace the source Of the drinking
water supply to each individual case. This
was done in Lawrence one year, and it
as found that twelve deaths were among
operatives in mills who drank canal water
which was piped into the mills. -Four
deaths were of persons who had contract
ed the disease outside of the city limits
and one of a person who had nursed a ty-
phoid patient
This has an important local bearing to
Washington for the reason that, my recoi-
lection is, a physician OF this city secured
data which showed that during a severe
epidemic of typhoid in Cumberland, Md,
there was an immediate and large IN
crease Of typhoid cases in Washington,
and that upon the subsistence of the cpl
demic in Cumberland the cases fell of in
this city.
'If, therefore the germs can travel 125
miles In the water and preserve their Vi
tally, 1t will readily be seen how much
greater was the menace to Lawrence from
the foul sewage of manufacturing city
like Lowell. only nine miles above, to say
nothing of the many other cities and towns
on the river still further up.
'And il the sand altering process in
Lawrence has effectually stopped the as
saults OF the deadly disease in such con-
taminated water as the people there must
drink, there is every reason to hope for
still greater results in Washington. where
the sources of contamination not
adjacent nor so numerous.

there was no hurry in moving up
a peg or so. next morning; but it
did, however, and, and the day
after Old San ia had filled all the
stockings, was warm and comfort
able-enough of sunshine to make
it extremely pleasant. In order
to stock up for his visit, old Santa
had to call and thoroughly inspect
the good things offered by the nu-
merous patrons of the FREE PRESS,
and judging from his weary looks
Christmas morn, he had almost
more than he could carry-(of
good things for the little ones)
during his rounds the evening te-
fore.
Old Santa had lis inning,
