They hop along the ground near your

noon they start a fight to the For
hidden City, and the air is black with
them. Before dark all crows in Pc
king are in the Forbidden City, and
the buildings there are covered with

nightly fight to the Forbidden City
is that they have learned that it is o
place where they are never disturbed.

other ways at once. More Familiarity

INTERSTATE PATHS.
They Are n Good Thing and Will
Eventually Become Great Ma
tional Highways.

In relation to his active interest in
the construction of an interstate side
path from Boston and New York to
Chicago, Director Dodge, of the office
OF public road inquiries, at Washing
ton, informs us that he is confident
that the completion of such a wheel
way would be but the first step toward
the construction of an interstate ma
tional highway along the same route.
Having brought this part of the
plan to successful conclusion, the
next step would be to interest the auto
mobile people. Judging from the ra-
pldity with which the automobile is
becoming popular, and the success
which has attended recent long-dis-
lance runs, the horseless vehicle is des-
tined to spread beyond the metropol-
itan districts. AS good roads are es-
sential for the rubber tired carriage,
Mr.. Dodge hopes, by the aid of manu-
facturers, automobile clubs and prop
erty owners along the proposed route.
to widen the cycle path into a road
sufficiently broad for the automobile.
Having obtained a smooth and serv-
iceable road, 20 feet wide, and running
in as nearly a straight line as possible
from Boston to Chicago, the further
task of widening it for universal
highway would be the natural Sc
quence. AS soon as the states west of
Chicago evince willingness to fall in
line, as some have already done, the
work will be extended westward in the
same manner.-L. A. W. Magazine.
