GOOD ROADS TRAIN.
Unique Travelling Educational En-
terprise Managed by Govern
ment Road Inquiry Office.

What might be called school on
wheels is being sent by the govern
ment through the southern states,
with corps of teachers on board, and
quantity of material to help illus
trate with object lessons the instruc-
ton given to the people along the
route.
This travelling educational enterprise
occupies train of a dozen cars, two
of which are fitted up in hotel fashion
for the accommodation of the staff of
instructors and their assistants, while
the other vehicles are fiat cars loaded
with an extraordinary variety of pom
derous machinery. In fact, such a
weighty and elaborate outfit for
school purposes was never seen be-
fore in the world; and as the caravan
moves along through the sunny south
land the inhabitants may well be. as
tonished. It is like circus without
the animals comparison by no
means intended to be disrespectful, in
asmuch as the affair is in reality of
very serious Importance and practical
value, being designed for the purpose
of encouraging the movement in be-
half of good roads.
This peripatetic school is organized
somewhat on the model of a kinder
garten. All the people along the route
who will come and be taught are it's
pupils, and classes run from 500 to
5000 in number. At each stopping
place lessons are given in the art of
building roads, from half mile to a
mile and half of first-class dirt road !.
gravel road or stone road being con-
structed. The kind chosen depends on
the material at hand; if the stuff is
available, sample of each is built.
There could be no more simple and ef-
fective means for conveying substan-
tial and practical information.
The good roads train" as the trav-
cling school is called, is run by the
National Good Roads association.
with the help of Uncle Sam. Director
Dodge, OF the government road inquiry
Office, is head teacher, and his chief as
sistant is Mr.. M. o. Eldridge. Several
engineers, specially trained in the
business, accompany the expedition,
and there are about dozen expert
workmen to perform the actual labor
in the construction of the sample bits
of road.
The amount and variety Of machin-
cry taken along is surprising. On the
fiat cars are carried road grading ma
chimes, rock crushing outfits (includ
ing elevators, separating screens and
bins); steam rollers, horse rollers.
traction engines, wheel scrapers and
plows. The plows and wheel scrapers
are used in the preparation of grades,
for reducing hills and filling hollows.
The traction engines are for running
the crushers, hauling stone and draw
ing the plows and road machines. The
road machines are for rounding up the
earth foundation, and the rollers are
employed to consolidate the material.

reception from the hall to the abbey
Suddenly there was pause and per-
feet stiffness. This betokened the en-
trance of the king, who came into the
hall at about ten o'clock in full state.
All in the galleries rose, and con-
tinued to stand up. When the king
was seated in the chair of state, he
turned first towards the box of the
royal family and bowed; then he did
the same towards that in which were
the foreign ambassadors and minis
tiers. Icannot attempt to describe the
ceremonies which passed after the
king came in until the procession
moved, they were SO numerous. OF
the successive groups who made rev.
erences before him previously to de-
scending the steps to the royal plat
form to assume their places in the
grand procession, the royal dukes,
Prince Leopold and the marquis of
Londonderry were especially observ-
able because of the gorgeousness of
their dress"
While there was no banquet in the
great hall, no champion and no duke OF
Wellington on horseback at the cor
onation of Queen Victoria, as there
was at the browning of her prede-
cessor, a strillingly beautiful incident
cast its benediction over the occa-
sion and its good omen followed the
faithful reign of the young queen,
who had said, when told that she was
the ruler of all England: II will be-
good" 1t was in Westminster abbey

OF the abbey at the very instant at
which the archbishop OF Canterbury
placed the crown upon the head of the
youthful female sovereign, falling d.

seized upon as the most suspicious az

onation should be conducted. Not a
detail or item of former ceremonies of
like character have escaped the eager
eye of the master of ceremonies or of
those ambitious members of titled
families who claim a right to part in
the brilliant exercises. Many unique
and picturesque characters will be en-
acted. An air of medievalism will be
cast about the affair because every
English family wearing title which
has been able to discover that any one
Of their ancestors bore distinct part
in the coronation of former kings,
have pressed their claim to reenact
the parts, whether there is any longer
any need or significance in them or
not. AS result some of the most alb
surd and amusing requests have been
submitted to the master of ceremo-
MES. In some cases the effort to bear
some official part in the coronation GER
emonies was so manifestly strained
that the claims were thrown out alto
gether, to the chagrin and disappoint-
ment Of those seeking the honor. In
other cases the right to assume pic
turesque, although now altogether
useless, character in the ceremonies
has been allowed.
A striking incident of this is found
in the claim set up to the right to pro-

A HANDY FARM DRAG.

The ordinary low stone boat or drag
is convenient for many purposes, but
its use is limited because it has no great
capacity. The cut shows very handy

and has sides one foot high. 1t can

it is very convenient for hauling apples,
