Discovercd by Accident.

All forms of bituminouS QavementS,
whether manufactured from natural
or artificial asphalt, are in fact artil-
fetal stone payements. The industry
started with the use of the natural
rock asphalt from the mines in the
Val de Travers, Canton Neufchatel,
Switzerland. The mines were dis
covered in 1921, but it was in 1S49
that it's utility as road covering was
first noticed. The rock was then be
ing mined for the purpose of extract
ing the bitumen contained in it for its
use in medicine and the arts. 1t is a
limestone found impregnated with
bitumen, of which it yields, on analy-
sis, from to IA percent.
1t was observed that pieces of rock
which fell from a wagon were crushed
by the wheels, and under the com
bined influence of the traffic and heat
of the sun a good road surface was
produced. A macadam road Of as
phalt rock was then made, which gave
very good results; and finally, in 1854
q portion Of the Rue Bergere was laid
in Paris of compressed asphalt on
concrete foundation. In 1858 still
lorger sample was lai1, and from that
time it has been laid year by year in
London, being laid on Threadneedle
street in 1869, and Cheapsiie in 1870
and in successive years in other
streets.-Municipa Journal and Engi

New York" he remarked, "has a
social innovation called the dog lun-
cheon. Every one invited must bring
a poodle or puppy of some kind. That
must be jolly fun, don't you think?"
"a poodle or puppy" she repeated,
reflectively; 'if that idea ever becomes
popular in the west shall be glad to
take you when go to it-"--Chicago

Syracuse. y. Y. Dec. s.-Miss Minnie Ov-
cracker. 4 High School teacher. was serious
ly injured last September in a collision with
a girl on Il bicycle. Miss overacker recov-
ersd. but had lost the sense Of TASTE COM
pleteiy. Her meals were eaten as Il me-
chanical duty. but she might as we'll have
been eating sawdUst for all the gratifca =
ton they gave her.
At dinnsr Miss Overacker was almost
overpo1ered witt: JOY when she round that
her taste had returned. II came all at once
and seems tn have come to stay as Miss
OTeTacker can taste everything she has tried
since. Doctor j. J. Jarvis. her physician.
says that small clot of blood had formed
at the base of the brain. which depressed
or benumbed the nerves which communi-
cate the sense of taste to the brain The
ciot finally became absorbed and the taste
sense was Immediately restored
II an! not so much interested in Just how
it was done" said Miss Overacker "as in
the fact that il has been done. You would
never think that the sense OF taste would
matter 81 much as 1t does until you have
been deprived OF it. 1t is simply misery
and you are conscious Of II all the time
