MISSIONARY WORK
A LARGE ATTENDANCE AT THE
CONFERENCE AT
SYRACUSE.

Syracuse, n. Y, June MANY
well known missionary workers are In
Syracuse for the seventy sixth annual
meeting of the Congregational Home
Missionary society, which continues in
session until Friday.
The present meeting is regarded as
Of more than the usual interest, as 1t
is expected that before adjournment
the differences between the central
society and the thirteen state auxilisr-
les will have been definitely settled.
According TO opinions expressed by
officials OF the home society an adjust
ment of the differences is likely to be
made in manner that will be sats-
factory to that body, in that it will
leave to the society much of the ex-
ecutive power it formerly held and
which was taken from it by the agree
ment of last spring. Officials Of the
society are hopeful because Of its ex-
cellent financial condition. The fiscal
year has been closed without deficit
and the debt Of the society, which
amounted TO more than 500, 900 at the
time Of the last annual meeting, has
been so reduced during the year that il
ia now less thnn 40. 600.

Student agitations in Russia are
bearing fruit. 1t is freely predicted by
progressive men in that empire that
the country will have a constitutional
form of government within the next
ten years. The car and his ministers
realize they must take the lead in
making the reforms or undertake to
resist them. To resist them means
terrorizing the whole of the empire.
A policy of repression in the present
temper Of the people might be extreme
ly dangerous.

Pertinent Paragraphs.

In Florida S1.69 per ton is paid for
granite crushed, screened and deliv-
cred for use in matchmaking the
roads.
Good drainage and good material are
both essential in the construction OF a
macadam road.
One miles of a good, well constructed
macadam road is preferable to several
miles of one poorly constructed.
II is false economy to build a road
over a 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 strong argument in favor Of muni-
cipal, county and state aid.

American coaches in South Africa.

The coaches used in South Africa are
built in the United States-at Concord.
Most of them hold twelve people inside
in rows of three. six people facing and
six back to the mules. By experience
we learned that the two corner seats
back to the mules are most agreeable.
Luggage on these journeys is consid'
GRAFTON, as it is charged for at the rate
Of a shilling a pound, but each pas
senger may take a rug-or blanket"
as they are always called-and o
small basket Of food. The great OBJ.
iect is to get as much food as possible
into a small space, for when we trav'
eled we could only be sure Of two
meals--one breakfast and one dinner
during the three days and nights Of
continuous travelling.
We made inquiries about the outside
places, thinking they might be prefer
able, but some fellow passengers, who
were old hands at such travelling, ex'
plained that when the coach upset the
outside passengers were those to suf'
fer: the insides come off, as a rule,
with a few bruises the others getting
the broken arms and the like, and this
unbalanced our desire for the open
air. Not that one suffered from want
of air, for the coach has no windows al
all; glass would not stand the jolting
for an hour. There is a tarpaulin that
one may unroll and pull down over the
windows when the rain comes in intol'
erably. The sun one must bear, for If
the tarpaulin is down it is too insuffer'
ably hot, - j. w, Davies, in Lippin'

Surface Drainage.

The wearing surface of a road must
be in effect a 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 a road has been found to be
either a fat ellipse or one made up of
two plane surfaces sloping uniformly
from the middle to the sides and Joined
in the centre by small, circular curve
Either of these sections may be used,
provided 1t is not too fiat in the middle
for good drainage or too steep at the
cutters for safety. The steepness OF
the slope from the centre to the sides
should depend upon tie nature of the
surface, being greater or less accord
ing to it's roughness or smoothness.
This slope ought to be greatest on
earth roads. perhaps as much in some
as 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 one in thirty ON
a macadam road to one in forty or one
in sixty on the various classes Of pave
ments and for asphalt sometimes as
low as one in eighty.

FINEST wARsHIPs EVER BUILT.
Louisiana and Connecticut to Be
Real Terrors Of the Sea.

Louisiana and Connecticut to Be
Real Terrors Of the Sea.
II is the opinion of competent
judges that in the newly designed
ships the Louisiana and the Connec'
ticut the United States will have two
of the greatest warships ever built
Together with the British ships-the
Edward VII, the Commonwealth and
the Dominion-they will comprise the
five largest warships in the world
The Oregon and its sister ships had
batteries of four thrteen-inch and
eight eight-inch guns, but the Connec
ticut and Louisiana will mount bat
terry which is so heavy as to place
these vessels practically in a class
by themselves. Each carries -four
twelve-inch, eight eightinch, twelve
seven-incn and twenty three-inch
guns. The next most powerfully arm
ed vessel is probably the Edward VII
She also carries four twelve-inch, but
instead of the eight eight-inch she is
armed with four 9.2-inch guns. This,
of course, is a much more powerful
weapon than the eight eighttnch,
that is to say, will be so much greater
that there will be far more likelihood
of getting in an effective blow.
1t is the broadside battery OF
twelve seven-inch guns, however, that
is believed to render the Connecticut
so much more powerful than the Ed
ward VII, which carries only ten
six.inch against the greater number
of seven-inch. An increase of an inch
in caliber, when you get to the size
Of siX-inch, means a great increase
in power. Furth ermore, the Connecti'
cut will carry twenty of the three
inch guns as against ten or twelve Of
the same caliber carried by the latest
British battleship.

A Great Reform Needed.

The farmers who have been organic
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 n 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 IT
costs more to haul load to the station
a few miles away than it does to have
IT transported from the station to the
far away seaboards.

"Y HE proposed New loIA-NAlN"-

considered a fantastic project

vor of it is reported At Chicago, f. Q.
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 ne
is connected. II 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 I'M
uortance of such highway, will lend
its support. The conditions vary so in
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'
hile. 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 III miles From
that point eastward there are passablt
dirt roads TO Swanton, about fifty-fve
miles. The next ten miles are not re-
ported, but running into Toledo arc
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
point on the Hudson at Kingston anC
follow the line to Delhi. thence to Bing

marked out road as it is to Jamestown
Crossing the Panhandle of Pennsylva

reached in Ohio is Conneaut. Thence
westward the route is as previously in
dicated. Strong sentiment in favor o.
the proposed highway is reported from
many points, and assurance is given b!

a Bearded, Man.Faced Monster OF the
Sea Seen by Truthful Anglers.
J. b. Toomer has just returned to
Athens, Ga, from a trip to the South
Carolina coast, and has many interest
ing incidents to relate. Among others
was one concerning the discovery OF
queer sea devil near McCellanvllle'
S. c.
Mr.. Toomer, in company with George
r. Congdon and Dr., ]. e. Taylor, OF
Georgetown, S. c., made a fishing trip
TO Sandy Point, long, sandy reef on
Bulls Bay, opposite Cape Roman and
Bulls Island lighthouse, just in front
of the village of McClellanville They
were quite intent upon their angling
when they noticed rapidly coming ID
from the ocean strange looking mon
ster. They ceased fishing at once ana
gazed intently upon the queer creature
of the deep that had evidently come up
from its deep sea home.
As the monster approached its out
lines became more apparent TO the eyes
of the astounded fishermen. 1t had
gruesome, uncanny look about 1t. IL
gradually assumed the shape of giant
corpse. The size was far beyond that
of any man living. The body was on
its back, the CHASTITY face upturned 10
the skies. When within about 10 teet
of the shore this sea monster got into
water that vas running like race, ana
the whole body leaped out of the water
and was fully exposed to the aston
lshed gaze of the three fishermen. Its
head was much larger than that OF q
man and was covered with long, black
hair. From the point of view OF the
spectators no arms were visible. Ihe
lower extremitles of the body were but
dimly visible and their outlines could
not be determined.
This queer creature fioated about for
two or three minutes, then made sud
den reverse movement and started out
TO sea against the tide In doing this
it raised its head far above the water
and faced the three gentlemen who had
been so intently watching it. A flow
ing black beard fell several inches be-
low it's face, and as a small boat with
negro in it approached it gave a
savage look that betokened danger to
the occupant of the boat should he ap'
proach any nearer.
Then the monster sank beneath the
water and rose again nearer the shore
1t came up out of the water perpendic'
ularly, exposing about two feet of Its
body, and as it did so, Congdon fired at
1t with his Winchester. 1t again disap
peared to rise again about every hve
minutes. Over ten shots were fired al
1t. but none took effect. The shadows
OF the night fell and the attempt to XII
or capture this wonderful curiosity oi
the deep sea had to be abandoned
Just then a fearful storm broke ove'
the bay, and the fishing party had e
seek shelter under their boat, which
they turned upside down on the beach

a sight as the oldest inhabitants Of th'
coast section had never seen. All thre,

rattooing Instead of Branding.

Owners Of pure bred registered ami
mails are often bothered by the ques'
ton of how best to mark them, to dis
tinguish them in case they stray, and
TO establish their identity under any
circumstances. The central expert
ment farm at Ottawa, Ont, suggests
tattooing N place Of the more usual
branding. The branding iron not only
frequently leaves an unsightly and dis,
figuring scar, but fails to serve every
purpose, since it indicates the owner
rather than partiularly identifies the
animal. The tag and button devices
commonly used in the ear are usually
a, source of annoyance, due to the aptt
tude they display for attaching them
selves to everything they may be
brushed against. Various live stock
associations have devised at one time
and another more or less ingenious,
and less or more satisfactory devices
to insure Identification, but nearly all
are open to the objection that they
fail In short time to serve the end in
view.-Springfeld Republican.
