The Stag Road Experiment.

The model road of Sparrow'S Point
Stag which was built last season for the
Commissioners of Queen Anne's County,
by the Maryland Geological Survey, has
weathered the winter, and some idea may
now he formed of the worth of such ma
terial for future modern construction on
the Eastern Shore. The road was exam
ined few days ago by Mr.. A. \. John
son, the Surveys Engineer, in company
with Mr.. w. w. Crosby, the highway
engineer of Baltimore County. Although
built over Il soil which affords the worst
possible foundation, the road showed
nowhere any signs of giving way or cut
ting through. On the day of inspection
its surface was coated with thin layer
of mud, some of which was due to the
lOOSening of the fine material with which
it was dressed, much of which had been
tracked upon it from the miry stretches
on either side. The chief disadvantage
of such thin layer of mud is the fact
that wheel tracks show on it and horses
are thus caused to travel sin the same
groove At point where the traffic has
occasion to spread from side to side no
ruts of any degree are visible and the
surface appears to be frmer than when
it was newly laid down. The Committee
who had the work in charge wished to

of Captain w. w. Reisinger, formerly
in command of the cruiser Philadelphia,
is to be removed from it's lone grave on
the shores of Magdalena bay to Wash

and take the body to San Diego, whence
it will be sent by rail to Washington.
The Mohican will be IN San Diego next

ter brief illness. The cruiser was off
the Mexican coast at the time, and she

chaplains to Be Abolished.

King Edward is taking step which
viii doubtless lead, to great outcry
among a large section Of English peo-
pie. He has resolved in conjunction
with Lord Selbourne. the first lord Of
the admiralty. to abolish the entire es-
adjustment of chaplains OF the royal
navy. So many of the sailors and even
officers nowadays belong 10 other de-
nominations than to the Established
Church Of England, that It Is felt TO be
unfair to subject them to the spiritual
ministrations of an Anglican chaplain
Moreover. fl is believed that such duties
as they perform, namely, the celebra-
ticn Of divine service on Sundays and
OF burial services at sea. can be just
as well performed by the captain or
commander. whose ministrations would
give rise to far less objections on the
part Of the Catholic and non-Conform-
ist officers and sailors than those of a
duly ordained clergyman of the Church
of England
In some ships the chaplain. for the
sake OF occupying his time. has been
called upon to act as naval instructor
But this is work that can be easily
delegated to some other subaltern Of
ficer. So the next few months will
witness the disappearance of the naval
chaplains. who have been a feature of
the British navy since the days of the
Reformation.
