began to look for leeks. Here and

she passed them by and went further.

Some OLD BRITISH GARMENTS.
Origin Of Words In Common Use Due
to Their Style.

10 InSlC SIyIes
The origin of many words in COM
mon use to-day as names for various
kinds of wearing apparel dates back to
ancient Briton prior to the Roman in
vasion. At that remote period. as we
are informed by historians, the dress
OF the British chieftains consisted Of
a close coat or covering for the body,
called by Diodorus q tunic, and de-
scribed as being checkered and of
various colors. It was open in the
front, and had close sleeves extend
ing to the Wrist. Their lower gar.
ments consisted Of loose pantaloons,
called by the Irish briggs, and by the
Romans BRACES and bracae; it is from
this we derive the modern term
"breeches." Over their shoulders was
thrown the mantle or cloak, called by
the Romans sagum,. from the Celtic
word sale, skin or hide, and from
this we can trace the modern word
sack" or "sacque;" the latter being
merely French version. Diodorus
says these cloaks were nearly always
black or blue, but the predominating
color in the checkered trousers and
the tunic was red. .~
The head covering usually consisted
Of a conical cap, which derived its
name from the "cab," or hut Of the
Briton, owing to similarity of shape

British Admiralty Experimenting With

The British admiralty is about to
carry out series of trials with new
form of torpedo invented by Orling and
Armstrong. The new weapon is cap
able of being steered either from the
shore or from a ship to the object at
which Il Is aimed, and this is accom-

Meeting wires. On shore is transmit

by them.
The operator can steer the torpedo
to port or to starboard, as desired, and

How little is knowledge. how limited
thought!
How helpless and puny are we!
We think what we hear and believe as
we're taught,
But learning and science seem little or
naught
In the solving OF LIES mystery.
Confronted by marvels on sea and on
And in words that above us revolve,
Our much-vaunted reason may try to
explain,
But only to find all our efforts in vain
Creations great problems to solve.
We study the planets and think we are
wise,
We measure the orbits they trace;
We weigh the bright stars and can
reckon their size,
But none can determine the height of the
skies
Or measure the infinite space.
All things that are born in their grave
are soon laid;
Time seems to the living foe;
We wonder why anything ever was made
If only to bud, and to blossom, and fade
Or vanish like fast-melting snow.
There are those who live long with honor
and fame
And some in their infancy die,
And some have. to struggle with sorrow
and shame
We wonder why all Of US are not the
same; ~
The wisest can never tell why.
We turn to our reason to settle doubt.
Yet know not what reason my be;
It's substance and form we know Moth
ing about,
The cause Of its being we cannot find
out,
So dull and SO foolish are we.
There seems no foundation where reason
may stand
In realms where no mortal has trod:
Infnity mocks us on every hand,
Our learning and logic are ropes made Of
sand;
There's nothing to rest in but God.

GREAT SUCCESS
OF OILED ROADS
PAST EXPERIMENTAL STAGE IN
SAN JOAQUIN-DUST ELIMINAT-
ED AND EXPENSES SMALL.

Crude petroleum was first used on
the roads in San Joaquin county in
1901. In October of that year five miles
of roadway We're treated with oil, the
experiment being made with roads in
light, sandy soil, i'm the adobe and on
the peat lands. In 1902, twenty mine
miles of road We're treated with crude
oil in the county, while in 1908 twenty
eight miles were added, making a total
of siXty-two miles of oiled roads now
in San Joaquin county.
Oil has been successfully tried on all
soils. AS to soil conditions the sixty
two miles of oiled roads are distribute
ed as follows: sand, S61a; red loan, S;
peat, 8; adobe, 5; clay, Az.
In preparing the roadway for oil, two
methods have been used in San joaquin
county. The first year the roads were
graded, after which they We're treated
with hot oil. Soil and oil were then
worked with a smoother and rolled.
During the present year. (19O3) roads,
especially on sandy and peat soils,
treated with oil for the first time were
differently prepared. Instead of graz
ing, all loose soil was scraped to either
side of the road leaving a hard surface
twelve feet in width which was treated
with oil, after which the loose soil was
shoveled over the oil to a depth of sew
eral inches. This method has secured
better results.
On the oiled roads the dust problem,
even on the light, sandy and peat
soils, has been solved. The roads are
kept in repair at less expense and
with less trouble. With firmer and
more desirable roadway, the farmer
is gaining an easier communication
with the markets for his crops.
When the surface of the roadway Is
of loose material such as light sand or
pulverized sediment or peat, the aver
age cost for crude oil and labor in
treating the roads with oil in San Joa-
quin county has been as nearly as can
be estimated from the three years ex-
perience, as follows: First year, $500
per mile; second year. 800 per mile;
third year, $50 per mile.
Where the oil is applied to a hard
surface the total cost per mile has
been much less, avera Eing 5000 for the
hrst year and $75 for the second. The
estimated cost of applying the oil the
third year to such roads is $25 per mile.
In Stockton during the first year
O9O3), fourteen blocks of street work
have been treated with oil. On one
street three blocks of worn out btu
men We're removed. On the concrete
base remaining, four inches of one
and one-half inch Folsom rock was
placed, after which the street was
oiled and rolled with a five-ton roller
The oil under pressure has formed with
the macadam firm, smooth, closely
packed roadway
One of the wooden bridges in Stock
ton was recently cleaned and all
cracks battened. Six inches of Tesla
gravel were then spread over the
bridge, after which oil was applied
and the roller used, the resulting road
way being fully as good as the road
way secured with the macadam.
