Surface Drainage.

The wearing surface of a road must
be in effect n roof; that is, the section
in the middle should be the highest
part, and the travelled roadway should
be made as imperviouS to water as pos.
sible, so that it will flow freely and
quickly into the cutters or bitches
alongside. The best shape for the cross
section of q road has been found to be
either q fiat ellipse or one made up OF
two plane surfaces sloping uniformly
from the middle to the sides and Joined
in the centre by q small, circular curve.
Either Of these sections may be used,
provided it is not too fat in the middle
for good drainage OF too steep at the
cutters for safety. The steepnesS or
the slope from tie centre to the sides
should depend upon the nature of the
surface. being greater or less accord
ing to its r%oughness or smoothness.
This sloDe ought to be greatest on
earth roads. perhaps as much in some
rs one foot in twenty feet after the sur
face has been thoroughly rolled or
compacted by traffic. This varies from
about one in twenty to II in thirty on
a macadam road to one in forty or Z
in sixty on the various classes Of pave
meats and for asphalt sometimes as
low as one in eighty.

Pertinent Paragraphs.

In Florida SLIGO per ton is paid for
granite crushed, screened and deliv-
cred for use in macadamizing the
roads.
Good drainage and good material are
both essential in the construction OF 4
macadam road.
One miles of a good. we'll constructed
macadam road is preferable to several
miles OF one poorly constructed.
1t is false economy to build a road
over 4 steep grade rather than cut
down or encircle the hill in order to Sc
cure an easy grade.
1t has been demonstrated that in
country districts in Kentucky where
macadamized highways have been
built the lands have increased in value
as much as $40 per acre. This is con-
elusive evidence that the burden Of
building roads should not be borne
alone by the agricultural classes, but
is 4 strong argument in favor of NUM-
cipal. county and State aid.

A Great Reform Needed.

The farmers who have been organiz-
ing for many years for the purpose Of
securing better and cheaper railroad
transportation for their marketable
products. are now becoming awake to
the fact that a great reform is needed
in the peoples own roads right at
home. An unnecessary and very eX-
pensive evil has been permitted to exist
at their very doors. They have been
wasting much valuable time and horse
flesh in getting products to market.
Farmers are at last learning that il
costs more to haul a load to the station
a few miles away than it does to have
it transported from the station to the
far away seaboards.

considered a fantastic project
by some, says the Journal,
continues to attract attention n
there are those who say its completion
is assured. In large cities along the
proposed route much enthusiasm in IA
vor of it is reported. At Chicago. +. =.
Donald. President Of the Automobile
Club. who is one of the trustees of the
association behind the project, realizes
the Importance Of having good roads
for feeders to railroads with which he
is connected. 1t is the purpose OF the
association to secure sufficient cooper
alton to have the road built as soon as
POSSIBLE. and it is stated that the Gov
eminent. recognizing the military im-
portance Of such a highway. will lend
its support. The conditions vary so III
relation to the laws governing the
building and maintenance of roads that
these eXigencies will be met and reme-
died. In order to ascertain local con"
ditions two members Of the association
are going over the line in an automo-
bile. Stops will be made in each town
along the proposed road, and plans dis
cussed with the local authorities. From
reports received it is possible that not
more than 400 miles between New
York and Chicago will have to be built
because of existing pavements.
Eastward from Chicago to South
Bend, Ind. there are good level roads,
mostly gravel, about Ill miles. From
that point eastward there are passaDle
dirt roads to Swanton, about fifty-iye
miles. The next ten miles are not re-
/ ported, but running into Toledo are
! eight miles of level macadam. There
are patches Of good roads running
through Ohio, but from New York
| State reports are lacking. The road
through this State will start from a
point on the Hudson at Kingston and
| follow the line to Delhi, thence to BinS-
hamton and due west, following the
marked out road rs it is to Jamestown.
| Crossing the Panhandle OF Pennsylva.
MA and touching Erie, the first point
reached in Ohio is Conneaut. Thence
westward the route is as previously in
dicated. Strong sentiment In favor of
the proposed highway is reported from
many points. and assurance is given by
| the association behind it that the road
will actually be built.-Randolph On.

Poltteness An Attitude.

Politeness appears to be what goodness
really is, and is an attitude rather than an
action. Fine breeding lie not the mere
learning of any code of manners any more
than gr%acefulness is the mere learning of
any kind of physical exercise. The gentle
man apparently as the Christian really,
looks not on his own things, but on the
always both un-Christian and ill-bred.-El-
len 7. Fowler.

Christ's treatment Of a sinner. "But
Jesus STONED down and with His finger
wrote on the ground. as though he heard
them not. So when they continued asking
Him, He lifted up Himself and said unto
them, He that is without sin among you
let him first cast a stone at her. And again
He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard it, being convicted
by their own conscience. went out one by
one, beginning at the eldest even unto the
last, and jesus was left alone and the WON.
an standing in the midst. When Jesus had
lifted up Himself, and saw none but the
woman, He said unto her, Woman, where
are those thine accusers?' Hath no man
condemned thee? She said: No man,, Lord.

HAIL KILLS YOUNG PICS.
Fearful storm Of Ice Plays Havoc in

The storm Thursday was one OF the
must remarkable that ever visited
this section. Developing almost with
out warning. hardly fifteen minutes
elapsed between the calm of sunny
day and the darkness Of the storm 5
blackest fury. The wind attained a
velocity that set everything loose
whirling and threatening buildings,
but no damage was done in town, ex-
cept to awnings. etc. The center of
the storms fury was about six miles
sonh and southeast Of Granite. Hail
stones of immense size fell. Several
were measured and found to be from
8 to 12 inches in circumference. Grow
ing crops were ruined. windows Drok-
en-, stoct Delted with these icy missils
and numerous reports of pigs and
young stock being killed have reached
town Limbs were cut from trees and
in the mountains hail stones piled in
the gulches to the depth OF six to
eight feet.
At the Preston ranch, on the south
side of Quartz mountain. even though
the violence Of hte storm was broken
b ythe rugged mcantains. the shingles
on the roof were literally splintered
into toothpicks, windows broken AMI
trees stripped of limbs and the ba X
torn as if hit with sharp-edged stones.
Hail stones as large as teacups fell,
and two hours afterward any number
could be found as large as full.grown
goose eggs.
In the direct center of the storm
cattle and young stock that were un-
able to reach shelter were cut and
mangIed as though they had hit a
barbed wire fence under a full head
of steam.
