The Pay Of Our Soldiers.

speaking OF American soldiers, said recently that
their pay Is no better than that OF an errand boy.
This Is the general civilian opinion but II Is far from

be absolutely reckless to avoid accumuating money
In the service and carpenters and blacksmiths re-
ceive very good pay when working In the post or
depot shops and they need not be nrst class either.
1t is no exaggeratlon to say that SIS a month In
the army Is shade better than Sis week In civil
life: and, when not receiving extra pay, the
private can save more money than three -fourhs OF
the men who work for wages In the large cities.
Remember. the soldier gets his board. clothing and
medical attendance free and is paid for nifty two
full weeks every year. No docking for lost days or
lost hours.
Tho annual report OF the PaymaSter- General
shows only part OF the mems savings as many re-

The Oiled Highway.

All users of the highways in this part
OF the United States are indebted to the
road authorities Of Fayette county, in
Kentucky, for the experiments they are
conducting to ascertain the true worth of
crude oil for preventing dust and pre-
serving the surfaces Of modern roads.
The supervisors in Fayette county
have adopted a method somewhat diff
ferent from that pursued in some parts
of California, where the process consists
simply of spreading the oil over the sur
face of a macadamized road before it is
opened to traffic. BY the Kentucky
method the road oil, as it is called, is
sprinkled in quantities over compara-
lively smooth stretches of roadway and
then covered with layer of sand about
half an inch thick. After waiting a few
days for some Of the oil to penetrate the
roadbed and for the lighter oils to evap-
crate, the sand is compressed by means
of heavy roller, with the result that
road is produced which is said to be dust
less, waterproof, elastic and thoroughly
durable.
The scheme to cover the oil with sand

Alderman Holler, the chairman of the

the board yesterday to vote $4,000 for
expenses. 1t required "a votes to pass this
appropriation, and, as there were only 90

Holler and to John T. Mccall, the Tammany
leader that the new bridge could not be
respectfully "christened" with champagne
for less than $4,000. Mr.. Mccall told his
friends that Mayor Low had said that IS 900
ought to be ample for the "wetting," but
that after he, Mr.. Mccall, had talked nicelr

Mr.. Rooseyelt's Message.

Mr.. RoosEvELT's message in regard to
the Cuban commercial treaty is sound,
busnesslike document. 1t is brief and
1t is clear.
Cuba is to give a market to the Ameri-
cans as we'll as to get one from them.
The United States has put certain re-
strictions upon her financial policy. She
grants the United States naval stations
which will be of the utmost strategic
value. BY the fact Of her geographical
position her interests are important to
the larger republic, and must become
still more important when the Panama
Canal is finished.
The United States has voluntarily
undertaken certain obligations in regard
to Cuba, and is bound to carry them out.
In one way or another it is to receive
valuable considerations, economic and
military. AS Mr.. ROOSEVELT says, "1n
helping her we shall help ourselves. '
1t Is good business as well as good faith
to put the Cuban treaty into operation.

ed as an experiment. Kentuckys high
way experts, however, believe the idea
to be q good one, and it seems likely to
be adopted in the reconstruction OF over
fifty miles Of roads around Lexington.
1t is calculated that oiled highways OF
this sort will require little or no attention
for period Of ten years.
The cost per mile of one of these roads
appears to be comparatively slight, the
oil itself being worth 62 cents barrel in
Kentucky, and something like 100 barrels
being used to the mile. The cost of the
sand, of which 1000 bushels were re-
quired in one mile test, is also regarded
as matter of little consequence. The
machinery needed to do the work evil

pense to be met.
Concerning the value Of the crude oil
treatment as it is understood and en-
ployed in different parts Of the world,
opinions differ, Reports from France,
where considerable attention has been
paid to The construction Of oiled road
beds in the last two years, indicate that
the experiments in this line there have
been highly successful. In England,
on the other hand, the tests undertaken
with a similar object seem to have failed
1t is stated in a recent communication
on this subject that the oiled roads in
Surrey have proved extremely undesir-
able. Within six months after their
completion they became dry and lumpy
and almost as dusty as the surfaces that
had not been oiled.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for the poor results that have
attended experiments Of the sort in ques-
ton, which lead one to suspect that sue
cess in building oiled roads depends very
largely on how the oil is applied and on
the character of the soil.

of standards for fagstaffs, and are designed
only to provide a finish for the towers
