ILL-OMEN FOR SERvIAN KING
sanctihed by Milan. Broken
When He Died. --s,--

Among the superstitions of the ex-
tinct Obrenovitch family. of Servia,
this one is related; Outside the church
of Takowa stood a magnificent oak,
under which on Palm Sunday, In 1919,
Milosch Obrenoyitch unfurled the
Servian flag to summon the momkas, or
warriors, of the neighboring valleys,
with whom he fought against the
Turks. Tradition says that an old
beggar woman with snow-white hair
sat on the stone steps of the church
and wished Milosch luck. adding that
the family would be prosperous as long
as 1t could dine near that oak.
After the battle of Slivinca the oak,
which had been named the Tree of
Freedom" was struck by lightning
and threatened to decay King Milan
watched It with alarm. and at last de-
cided to have It cut down. But he had
two crowns and a small table carved
from the wood where 1t was sound.
He always carried this table with him,
and when he was alone loved to dine
from It.
When he lay dead in Vienna It stood
in his bedroom. His valet lit a pill
grim candle to place beside his bed.
But the kings adjutant told him to get
the Takowa oak table and put the
candle on that-In doing so the valet
stumbled against an iron safe and
broke the table. No one in all King
Milan's household had the heart to
move a hand against fate and have II
repaired, so they burned the pieces.

PLAN FOR DUSTLESS ROADS.
Important Experiments Being Con
Quoted in England to Do Away
with the Nuisance.

Important experiments are being
made by the West Sussex county coun-
ell of England with view to construct
ing road which shall be dustless, have
a smooth surface, and resist percolation
The piece selected for the experiment
is near Horsham.
The stones used were Cherboure
quartzite, and in order that they should
be thoroughly dried they were placed
upon iron plates over fiue in the coun-
ellis shed at Horsham. After the stones
had been we'll heated they were spread
out and allowed to become somewhat
cool.
Then they were deposited from five
inches to six inches thick on a wooden
platform and covered with tar-five gal
Ions, with little pitch, being sufficient
for q ton of stone. The stones were
turned over and over. so that each had
a coat of shining black, and afterward
placed in q heap to mature.
At the present time the stones are
being carted to Monksgate, on the
Brighton road, and spread to an average
depth Of about five inches. They are
consolidated by a ten-ton steam roller
and clean sand is sprfnkled over the sur
face Just for covering.
About 100 tons Of quartzite has been
treated, and will be sufiicient to lay
down upon length Of from 125 to 15t
yards Of road. Four hundred gallons oil
distilled tar. with which was mixed q
little pitch, have been used.
