DUST IN LONDON STREETS.
steps being Taken to Lessen the
Objection to Automobiles.
From the London Express.

1t is hoped in London that by next
summer the nuisance of dust stirred
up by motor cars will be very greatly
alleviated
The Hon. John Scott Montague, the
editor of The Car, is raising a fund
for experiments in this direction and
hopes to secure a sufficient amount to
deal with the matter in thoroughly
practical fashion.
"Westrumite," Limited, are also
making some experiments which
should prove very useful. They have
treated several sections of road with
their material, "Westrumite," and the
results at present are quite excellent.
"Westrumite" has been laid on the
Old Windsor road and on the lower
part of River Hill, which lies between
Sevenoaks and Tonbridge
y fast motor car was recently rid
den over both sections of road. In
each case there was not a trace of dust
so long as the car was traversing the
road which had been treated, while i'm
mediately this was left the usual hor-
rible cloud arose.
"Westrumite" is the invention of a
German chemist, by name Van West
rum, who, being practically expelled
from his own house, which was or the
highway in a suburb of Berlin, by rea-
son of the dust raised by passing mo-
tors, set himself to find a remedy, and
found it in a preparation of petroleum
and ammonia, which is soluble in
water.
1t has been adopted in Frankfort
and Dresden by the councils of those
two cities.
1t is claimed for "Westrumite" that
S per cent. of the liquid, added to 95
per cent. of water, is sufficient to lay
the dust on any ordinary road and
that having once been sprinkled the
road will not need a fresh application
for a period varying from two to four
weeks, according to the amount of
traffic on it. 1t is claimed that the
material is a disinfectant that it pre-
vents both dust and mud and, conse-
quently, to a great extent wear and
tear. 1t is non-infammable, and it is

non-poisonous, and it does not stain
clothes should it fall upon them.
The benefit derived from the disap-
pearance of dust would be sufficient to
commend it, even if it involved the
ratepayers in an increase of their
rates; but although the cost of the
material is 910 per ton, yet the saving
in the cost of water and of labor in
volved in the existing processes of lay
ing the dust is so great that the rate
payers can treat their roads with
"Westrumite" without any additional
expense whatever to themselves. while,
on the other hand, there should be an
economy effected from the point of
view of maintenance.
The best-known test at present is
that of the Gordon Bennett race,
where certain portions of the road
were treated with this material, and
ten weeks later, according to the re-
port of the road expert sent over from
London, are in almost as good a con-
dition and as free from dust and mud
as on the day upon which they were
treated. OF course, roads is a country
district are not subjected to heavy
wear and tear.
The first cost of treatment of a 30
foot road is less than $40 per mile,
and subsequent treatments will cost
onehalf that amount. The effect of
continual application is cumulative,
and the road improves considerably
under the treatment.
No special machinery is required for
purposes of sprinkling, the "Westru-
| mite" being put into the ordinary wa
ter car, which is then filled in the usual
manner.
1t is a point in favor of "Westru-
mite" that there is no need to close
the road during it's application. All
that is required for it is from two to
four hours dry weather following the
treatment, and of course. while still
wet, the less traffic the better. After
this period Of, say, four hours, rain
has the effect of improving the sur

is perfectly certain and we'll known,
that no living creature-neither fish,

as food for the birds that fly over the

Within the last two years the Unit
ed States has laid 400 miles of cable
in Alaskan waters, and soon Skagway
will be connected with Seattle. The
sceptic who twenty years ago laughed
at the possibility of wheat growing in
Northern Manitoba, never thought that
Alaska could produce anything but furs
and trees. Yet Dawson now raises its
own vegetables and fodder. The Gov
ernor says that the hay that might
be made out of the wild grass in Alaska
is really worth more than it's output
of gold. It's timber awaits cutting
when the forests nearer home are ex-
hausted. Aside from it's commercial
and political value, there is another,
sentimental value, dear to the heart of
pioneer race. When the Pacific
coast has thirty or forty million peo-
pie, that citizens of the natural world

of settled communities may still pros
pect untenanted and forbidding areas
