An Important Matter.

"Good roads" is an important mat
ter to be dealt with at the present
session Of the Legislature, but like
most important matters it is in danger
of being complicated by too many con-
flicting plans. That heretofore pur-
sued Of inducing counties and. local
authorities to do their share, with CO.
operation from the State, is good one
to adhere to, and it will be better to
be little slow In the good work than
to run up debts and mortgage the fu-
ture. A bill just introduced proposes
to issue State bonds not exceeding
$50,000.000, subject to approval by q
vote of the people, for the construction
and improvement of highways. That
would start new and prcdigal policy,
which it is desirable to avoid. The
value Of improved roads Is one that ac
crues as fast as they are constructed.
and the people should be induced to
pay for them as they go along. or in
cur only local and short time debts, at
most, for sections that must be COM
pleted to be Of use. The State help
should be rendered literally, but judi
ciously and without imposing heavy
obligations to be met in the future.
The work will have to be gradual, and
will take long time at best, but 1t
will grow in appreciation as it adj

Now System of Electric Heating

A new system Of electric heat is
upon the market. It consists of an.
electric heater and 4 blower. The mo-
tor Is Of the standard fan type, and is
secured to conical metal case. There
is an intake for air at the back. The
heater consists of clay tubes wound
with fine German silver wire and coY-
cred with an insulating coat of enam-
ell. The tubes are arranged radially
and the fan and the heater are both
closed in by metallic casing. The
heater can draw air from without the
room or car, or in cold weather can
operate, using the air in the room or
car. Two of these heaters will, it is
said, heat forty-foot car to the prop
er temperature In the ordinary sys.
tenn some of the persons in the cars
are uncomfortably warm, while 9TH
ers are cold but with the fan distrlbu-
tion the heat is positively distributed.
The fan will also prove useful in
school buildings, on ships and war
vessels. 1t will be specially valuable
when vessels are out Of commission
where-it is desired to both warm and
move the air.-Scientific American.

Deadly dangers lurk in the ground
left bare by the departing snow. ALI
Winter long there have been accumu-
These have been protected and
kept alive by the covering Of snow
and now. with the first warm days,
these death-bringing microbes are
awakened by the rays Of the sun. and
as the ground dries they are carried to
all corners of the community in the
dust that is blown everywhere by the
Spring winds.
The human body at this time is par
ticularly susceptible to these germs,
especially the germs of feyers. The
system has been depleted by the fore
going Winter The blood is sluggish
and flied with impurities. The nerves
have not recovered from the tension
they have been under for the past
months. The stomach, the bowels. the
kidneys, the liver are all at their
worst.
1t is, therefore. not strange that
these. germs of disease find fertile
ground in which to thrive, flourish and
develop into deadly ills.
Spring is the time of year when one
should fear an attack OF fever, espe-
cially when the system is depleted, one
should dread any severe illness. The
vitality is at low ebb. There is less
power of resistance to throw off di-
sease, and it is on this account that
fatalities are so much greater during
the Spring months than at any other
time of the year.
There is but one way to ward of
such dangers, and that is to fortify

Air That Nav ba Scan.

The quivering of the air above q
ridge Of open ground on hot, still day
is a phenomenon that Is not generally
understood. The same thing may b;
seen over hot Stove. AS the quivei.
ing Is visible only above a hot surface
most persons would be likely TO say
that it is the heat rising from the sur
face, but as heat Is not perceptible to
the eye that explanation is not satis-
factory. Heat is, of course, a factor in
the case, but it serves only to make the
air visible, for it is the air that we
see. The quivering is caused by the
upward passage, close by each other,
of small currents Of air OF different
temperatures, in which the rays Of
light are irregularly refracted. 1t Is
the irregular refraction that makes the
currents visible.

Gold and Silver Furniture,

There are not many rooms in the
world furnished in silver. Aside from
crowned heads, Mrs. Mackay is prob
ably the only person who possesses a
set Of silver furniture. In her London
house she has reception room in
which the chairs, tables, etc., are Of
solid silver. In Windsor Castle is a
set of furniture made Of silver which
was presented to Charles II. by the
City Of London, and the Shah of Per-
sia has silver set Of furniture In one
of his reception rooms. The Sultan of
Turkey, who is SO heavily in debt has
not only q set of silver furniture, but
a dining table of the same precious
meSl. The only other person who
is Known to have set Of silver furni-
ture is the Car of Russia, who has
one room in the Kremlin in Moscow
filled with silver and gold furniture.-

The Stamps of Finland.

Finland is no longer q member OF
the International postal union as by
an imperial Russian ukase the Fin
nish postage stamp is Withdrawn from
use, and the Russian postage stamp
substituted. While the Finnish post
agsstamp untiEa few weeks ago had
no value in the eyes of stamp collec-
tors, it has now at one Jump reache d
to the. head Of the list, and vii proba-
bly, be the most valuable in the stamp
collectors album. The Films are,
of course, furious against Russia for
this addi ional demonstration of The
Bear to blot their countrysoff the map
of the world.
But the Firms are by nature q stub
born people, and the method they
adopted to still compel the Russian
authorities to forward letters with the
Finnish postage stamp is amusing.
Their correspondence they inclosed in
an ordinary envelope, on which they
placed the Finnish postage stamp in
the usuakccrner. This envelope was
then incloscd in thin transparent en-
velope, plainly showing the Finnish
stamp. The outside envelope was
then properly addressed and provided
with Russian postage stamp placed
by the side Of the Finnish. So far nc
notice has been taken by the Russian
Government of this amusing method.

SODA FOUNTAIN cHoco ATE.
Suggestions For Serving it Hot In Winter
Time.

EtS5 The soda water fountain formerly
mfnistered to popular comfort only in
summer. All the beverages served at
that season were cold, therefore. But
of late years it has been common
practice in drug stores in cities to
serve coffee, chocolate, beef tea, clam
broth and a number Of other hot
drinks. 1.-THE American Druggist" re-
Gently offered some hints regarding the
preparation of hot chocolate. 1t says
that many druggists simply make a
sweetened solution of chocolate, to
which is added either condensed milk
or fresh cream. But the publication
lust mentioned recommends adding a
little corn starch, and Gives the follow
ing formula:
Powdered chocolate, four ounces;
corn starch, four drains; hot water,
two pints, and sugar, two and half
pounds Mix the chocolate and corn
starch intimately together, and add six
ounces of cold water in divided por-
tions, rubbing down in a mortar until
a homogeneous, creamy mixture re-
suits. Now pour on the hot water, stir
well, and boil until the starch is
thoroughly cooked, making up the loss
by evaporation with more water; add
the sugar and stir until dissolved;
when cold add one and one-fourth fluid
+ drains of vanilla extract.
The above constitutes the chocolate
syrup, and to serve it as hot chocolate,
draw about two ounces In six-ounce
mug, add condensed milk or cream, and
fill with hot water.
Where the trade is limited the choco-
late may be prepared fresh for each
customer. 1t iIlpresses some people 70
see it made in this way. Powdered
chocolste for fountain use will be
found best adapted for the extern
poraneous preparation of hot chocolate
The modus operandi is to take one and
one-half teaspoonfuls Of the powder
and, placing it in the mug or cup, add
enough hot water to &C lvert it into a
Fssmooth paste; add sugar and cream
and q dash or two of vanilla extract
and, filling the mug with hot water, the
result is cup OF delicious hot choco-
late.
