Martin Dodge, Director of Pubic
Road Inquiries in the Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture, recently made an
address. in which he dWelt upon the
Importance of roads to the rural dis
tricts. He spoke of the concentration
Of population and wealth in cities, III
virtue of an economic law which can
not be resisted. This is hard on the
country communities, but something
may be done TO offset it. Cheap trans
portation is profitable alike to city and
country. But in the country the We
hicle propelled by animal power over
an ordinary road is about as expensive
as it was 100 years ago, costing ten
cents a mile for passengers and TWEEN
ty-five cents Il ton for freight But
by the concentration Of wealth in the
towns the country is deprived of the
means Of making the roads as good as
they should be. New boards of trade
and chambers of commerce in the cit
les are eginning to declare that they
are willing to contribute to general
fund for the purpose of improving the
highways of the country, 10 part OF
it to be used in the cities. Mr.. Dodge
also spoke with approval Of national
aid to road building.

before the American public. Leading
the world in everything else, the

Locomotives Approved.

II is reported that a German hrm

keen competition with several EngilsA
firms. Germany, according to Il Con-
sular report just issued by the State

Sudanese Railroad simply because the
firm was prepared to fill the order
within five OF six months, while an
American firm could not even promise
to do 50 in twice that length Of time
The Sudanese Railroad is at present
using American locomotives, and with
such success that it was reluctant to

Ancient and Modern Roads.

Among the men whose names wlll
live as long as civilization exists IS
that of John t. Macadam, the road
builder. Not only has his name be-
come a part Of the English language
but the kind Of road which he built
has been adopted by all civilized ma
tons. The ancient Romans built
stone roads, but they were different
from and vastly more expensive than
the macadam roads of modern times.
They built a substantial foundation OF
rock. sometimes several feet in depth,
and then covered it with Il pavement
of large, fiat stones. This kind of road
will outlast any other. Indeed, some
parts of the Appian Way, the building
of which was begun three centuries
before Christ, are still in use and in
good repair 1t remained for John II.
Macadam, a modern Englishman, to
prove that the great expenditure OF
time and money required in TIE build
ing of the old Roman roads was large
" wasted He demonstrated that a
smooth. hard, enduring road could be
built of crushed stone few inches in
depth, properly spread and compacted
on q foundation of earth.

Medals For Musicians.

Those present at the Elgar Festival
Concert at Covent Garden We're set
wondering as to the medals worn by
Nine. Clara Butt and Lloyd Chandos,
the same being more noticeable on the
gentleman's black coat than on the
lady's evening dress. The medal is
one presented by the Worshipful Com
pany Of Musicians for the best musi-
clan of q year. and While instrumental
lists, composers, etc, can boast of its
possession only three yocalists have so
far been honored with its presentation,
viz. Nine. Clara Butt, Miss Muriel
Foster and Lloyd Chandos. The orig
inal medal presented was a large one,
and in the case Of the popular tenor re-
ferred to was taken away by burglars
at his house. The Worshipful Com
pany of Musicians then decided to
strike n smaller one, TO be worn on all
special occasions by the possessors.-

Building Roads Right.

Albert Lewis, of Bear Creek, Ia,
who makes his winter home in st.
Augustine, Fla, has set an example
in road improvement which may be
followed advantageouslyi i'll one degree
and another in many parts OF the
country. Mr.. Lewis likes to drive.
When he came to st. Augustine, ac-
cording to a dispatch from that city,
he found such poor facilities for his
favorite sport that he bought about
1000 acres CT land at Moultrie Point,
built a fine drive to his property, and
Is now building public roads in the
neighborhood of his own drive. At
his own expense and using his own
improved road machinery, he is re-
building the Moultrie road, ard has

miles cabbage palm trees. lie has
also shown c disposition to give ma
