materials used in the construction of
payements. However, the report will
not be devoted exclusively to consid-
Grafton Of the materials used. but will
treat of methods of construction and
maintenance. DR.. Buckley has exam
ined most of the improved highways
in Wisconsin. Having a knowledge &c
he does of the materials used in their
construction, the character Of the sub
soil, conditions Of traffic and date Of
construction the conclusions reached
should be very reliable. It may be eX-
pected that a very valuable reDort on
road construction will be furnished TO
the people of this state.

Natural Tunnel.

In locating the Virginia and South
western railroad through the Allie
ghenies from Virginia into Tennessee
advantage was taken of natural tun-
mel which is one of the wonders of the
world. The distance through the
tunnel is about 1000 feet, and so
nearly perfect is the tunnel that only
sixty feet of blasting was necessary.
The region is of limestone formation,
as always where there are extensive
caves The cliffs at each end of the
tunnel are 400 feet high and the
scenery in the locality is remarkably
fine.

occur in this state and information
concerning their extent and acces-
sibility should be made public.
The topographic mapping should be
continued until the state has been
entirely covered. The United States
survey has been spending more on
this one line of work in Wisconsin
than has been expended on all lines
of work taken up by the Wisconsin
survey. 1t is declared that it would
be wise policy for Wisconsin tG set
apart $4,000 year for this work
alone. Unless some such action is
taken the United States survey will
be justified Withdrawing its present
support
The survey should have a depart
ment devoted entirely to highway con
struction, in charge of man who
knows the best material available for
road construction in all parts of the
state. and can so into any part and
build a sample road for the benefit of
the people. This work should be as

Scientific investigation.
In addition to all this the people
of the state must not forget that the
economic work cannot be sustained
and promoted in a satisfactory man
ner unless it has combined with it a
healthy amount of what is known as
purely scientific investigation. The
economic reports are really based
upon purely scientific work, although
given to the public in language which
is simple and easily understood.
After all the reports,-on building
stones, clays, marls, cement, lead and
zinc, road construction, have
been published the survey will be in
a position to furnish more valuable
information to parties interested in
the development of the natural re-
sources of Wisconsin than it is at
the present time. The geological
survey should be perpetuated and il
properly sustained can be of vast i'm
portance to the healthy development
of Wisconsin resources.

Streaks on Neptune.

Neptune, the most distant known
planet of the solar system, presents
to the telescope only a small. greenish
disk, on which no distinct markings
are visible, But during the past year
the great telescope of the Naval OBJ
servatory, at Washington, has revealed
indications of the existence of streaks
on Neptune bearing a resemblance to
the belts of Jupiter. A few years ago
similar streaks were seen on Uranus.
Saturn also possesses them, so that
it may be said that
cloud-like belts are a feature common
to all the four great outer planets.

About rs deposits were examined,
many of which were found
to be sufficiently extensive
and of good quality to be
suitable for the manufacture of

with this investigation was carried on
by J. L. Nelson of Beloit. This work
along with that on the clays was sus-
pended at the beginning of the year
with the purpose of resuming it later
when conditions became more favor
able
During the last five years the eco
nomic department has been collecting
statistics on well borings throughout
the state. The data which have been
connected are valuable in showing the
depth at which water is now being OBJ
tanned and the character of the rock
formations passed through.
The collection of statistics of the
iron mining in the northern part OF
the state and lead and zinc mining in
the southwestern part was begun a
year ago. None of the mines, with
the exception of those in the south
western part. has received any further
attention than the collection of
statistical data.

Future Work.

The future work of the survey has
follows: The mapping of the aerial
geology Of central Wisconsin. by DIR.
Weidman, will be continued. The
geology of this region is very COM
plicated, it often being difficult to de-
termine the origin and relation of the
formations. In carrying on this
work every ledge is examined, located
upon the map and many specimens
collected for further study in the
laboratory with a microscope ana by
chemical analysis. 1t will be a num-
Der of yea~= before the geological
mapping of this region can be com
pleted.
1t is expected to continue on a
small scale, the preparation of bull
letins on the physical geography OF
the state. Eventually it is hoped that
general monograph on the physical
geography of Wisconsin can be pre-
pared. Such work would include q
study of the photography and life oil
the state as well as study of the
commercial, industrial, and politica
conditions as controlled thereby
The preliminary work for such a re
port must necessarily progress slowly
but it is hoped that such a report can
be eventually made available to the
people of this state for educational
purposes.
The study of the biology OF the
lakes and the mapping of the hydrog-
raphy have both been suspended for
the present. From scientific as well
as economic standpoints this work is
very important. and should be taken
up and resumed again in the near

Lead and Zinc.

No section of the state is perhaps
more deserving of the attention of the
survey than the lead and zinc region
in southwestern Wisconsin. Very
little work has been done by any
member of the survey in this section.
The U. S. survey has been making
topographic maps of the region and
DIR. Buckley has spent several weeks
looking over the area and planning to
begin a careful survey. The sooner
provisions are made for taking up this
much called for survey of the lead
and zinc region, the more profit will
accrue TO the state at large.

Lord RusseIPs Experience With n

Country Landlord.
On one occasion Lord Chief Justice
Russell was at Shrewsbury on circuit
duty. The assizes concluded on Satur
day, and the lord chief justice, who ha6
brought horse with him, decided upor
riding to Church Stretton, noted in those
parts for its big private lunatic asylum
and then proceeding to Hereford, th'
next assizes town. He stopped, however
at a hamlet outside Stretton, and, dis
mounting at the door of the only inn, tolt
the landlord to attend to his horse The
landlords method of performing his tasl
did not please his lordship, who spoke
his mind freely to him. Having entered
the house, Lord Russell brusquely, as
was his wont, asked the host what hi
could have to eat
'Some bread and cheese" was the re
ply.
II see some ham on the sideboard. Let
me have some and some bread" said his
lordship.
"Indeed, l WON'T" replied the landlord
at is for supper, and you binna goin tC
ave it"

In the course of this conversation thu
landlord kept cautiously by the door. I'm
mediately on Lord Russell announcing
himself as lord chief justice he bolted on
of the room, locked the door and rushed
breathless into the police station a
Church Stretton, telling the police that 1
patient had escaped from the asylum ant
was in a dangerous condition at hi
house. The police went to the inn. Thu
superintendent cautiously opened thu
door and was Mortified to find that thu

Profuse and profound apologies followed
but the lord chief justice rode away il
