Ho. Petroleum For Road Making.

California has discovered 4 new
method OF making good roads. 1t is i'll
the use OF hot. crude petroleum as
cementing material.
The art of road making is proba-
bly, more important than any
other one of mans accomplish
ments. 1t is only in recent years that
= Americans. outside Of 4 few OF the
older settlements. have begun TO ap-
preciate the full commercial and So
cial advantages of good reads, and to
encourage their building through lib
cral appropriations of public money
from State, county and township
treasures
No sooner was such work begun
than there arose serious questions in
many localities as to what material
was best for the local production Of
good roads.
Where stone was cheap and plenti-
full it naturally became the accepted
roaG-making material, but even in
such sections stone road Is not al
ways the most satisfactory. Earth
roads, made OF sand or gravel. which
contain good cementing material. such
as proper admiXtures Of loan, clay or
iron ores, make roads much smoother
and more pleasant TO drive over While
not so likely to be unpleasant from
dust.
Such roads ere much cheaper to
build. for hardly locality can be
found which does not contain some
handy he'd Of fair road-making ma
terial. In many sections the natural
soil is all that is needed TO make good
roads for fair weather use. Such roads,
however. are au:s 10 suffer under the
stress of winter rains and froSts and
summer drouGhts, and break up badly.
Such was the situation in Fresno
when the working Of California s new
oil find made petroleum cheap ana
suggested its use on the roads. The
idea probably came from the use Oh
petroleum refuse on railroad tracks to
keep down dust. Using the petroleum
hot is 4 new idea.
The hot oil cemcntS the sand. loan.
clay and gravel and makes the road
bed both dustless and waterproof. 1t
makes the roadbed material pack un-
der 4 heavy use and its qualities lnl-
proye as the doses OF oil are repeated.
Reports from San Bernardino Coun-
ty sav that $50 barrels Of oil wear
are used per mile of road. and that
even ut S1.iO Il barrel the oil is found
cheaper than sprinkling with water
for keeping down the dust. while all It's
other advantages are. as 1t were
thrown ir.-New York Journal.

EVOLUTION OF THE CENSUS.
Taken in the Middle Ages For the
Purpose OF Taxation.

The term census" had its origin in
Rome, and was applied to one group
Of the cenSor's many and varied func-
tionS, says a writer n the Paris Mes
senger The Roman census was chiefly
concerned with fiscal matters, and We
may suppose that the enumerators
were not too effectively welcomed by
the inhabitants. In the middle ages
the census meant neither more nor less
than a tax, and the final, formal, ma
terial and efficient cause OF every
numbering Of people was the desire
of it's castle-clad government for
money or the actual sinews Of war.
Under the absolute monarchles
which appeared in Europe after the
decline and fall of the feudal system,
the tendency to centralization for ad-
ministrative purposes prepared the
way for statistical inquiries, into the
numbers of the inhabitants Of partic-
ular districts. The necessity Of such
stock taking was first clearly pointed
out by Adam Smith. but it was not till
long after his death that the first
census of Great Britain-it did not
extend to Ir,land-was carried out. 4
census bill. which passed the Lower
House in 1853, was thrown out by
the Lords a. being 'profane and SUBJ
vcrSive OF liberty Accordingly. up
TO 1901, the number OF inhabitants Of
the British islands was as much L
matter of guesSworll as the popuia-
ton of China is to-day. ana, rs ill.,
variably happens in such cases, the re-
suit of the enumeration was q great
disappointment to all the statistical
prophets.
The progress OF the census methods
since the first year Of the last CEN
tury may be illustrated by the de-
veloDmont Of the occupatiOnal returns.
In 1901 there were but three divisions
those employed in agriculture, those
engaged in trade or manufacture and
those engaged in neither. In the next
Two ccnSuScs no material change in
this respect was made, but in 1881 the
overseers of parishes We're required
to give details respecting the occu-
pations OF males over 90. In the GEN.
SuS of 1911. IN enumeration most
facilitated by the uniform system Of
registration of births. marriages. and
deaths which came into force in 1887,
the cnumeratorS We're instructed to
enter each persons description Of his
own occupation.
An interesting feature Of the census
Of 1851 was an attempt to supply the
ecclesiastical and educational statis-
tics OF the country, but no effort was
made to elaborate the occupation re-
turns. The census of 1861 was also, to
certain degree, experimental. In
1871 the first imperial census was TAX
cu-and the census paper of that date

BUTTERFLIES FOR LONDON PARKS.
Plan to Stock Pleasure Grounds With
Cauzy Creatures.

A scheme fer stocking London parks
with butterflies has recently been agi;a;-
ed, and it is by no means certain that
something of the kind may not seriously
be attempted. 1t is believed by some
well-inforlned authorities to be worth
trying. though undeniably there are Scrl-
Gus difficulties in the way.
One trouble lies in the fact that most
butterflies are more or less migratory in
habit. and this remark applies 10 nearly
all OF the species commonly seen IN
cities, Obviously. there would be no
use in establishing colonies OF these in
sccts in urban pleasure grounds. II they
were Likely to take unto themselves
wings in literal sense. or rclinqushlng
the larval condition. and TO fly away.
To renew the stock annually would be
expensive. and for other reasons out OF
the question.
IL has been suggested that there are
some very pretty butterflies TO which
this objection does not apply. and that
in the non-migratory category are found
the Vancssas-mcdium sized insects OF
mottisd colora;ion. black. white and red
dish brown. Relatively speaking, they
are. sedentary. and might lie induced TO
s,ay where they ar" put, II the sur
roundings were attractive and suitable.
Butterflies, like moths. are hatched
from eggs. make their first appearance
as 1aterpillars. and. after spinning CO.
ooons. are finally transformed into the
beautiful winged adults As caterpillars
they feed on leaves. hut i'll the final stage
they suck the juice OF flowers. AS a
rule they hibernate as butterflies in hol-
low trees and other such places OF con-
cealment.-Sdturddv I:0cning Post.

a Vast Cum Region.

There is 4 vast territory in Northern
Maine from which gum comes. 4 re-
gion larger than the State of MasSa-
chusetts, covered by deep spruce for
est. broken only by lakes and streams.
Out Of this region in the spring come
many men bearing their packs of gum
on their backs. Some have devoted
their whole time for the winter to
gathering gum. Others have COM
lined with this work trapping fur
bearing animals. \ number of guides,
who in the fishing and hunting sea-
son traverse the woods with parties
Of spor:smen. devote their winters to
altering gum.
