Improvement Proposed.

They simply propose to improve tho
Tubhc roads" and provide Tor 'fnvcs-
legations and experiments TO determine
:he best kinds of road material and the
best methods of road building" In a
recent article, Representative Brown
low says.
My own opinion Is that some OF the
Principal thoroUghfaTes ought to be
macadamized. Well informed road OK
perts have estimated that if one-teTth
of the road mileage OF the country were
Tacadamized and the other ninc-tenths
were improved in other ana cheap per
ways. using the best local materials
available. the cost OF hauling the farm
products Of the United States to mar
ket would be reduced one-half.
II this estimate is correct. the saw
ing TO the farmers would be enormous.
and would in n few years be sufficient
to cover the entire expense OF making
the improvements.

Some interesting tales are told OF
Lord Kelyin's discoveries and how the
ideas of them came to his quick mind.
For instance, this is said to have been
the way In which he found the mirror
galvanometer. He was puzzling over
the dlfiiculty Of perfecting the ordinary
telegraphic apparatus used on over
head wires. which was not suited for
the varying current passing along ca
bies. The tagging Of the electric cur
rents had the effect Of making them
run together into one bottom current,
with surface ripples which correspond
to the separate signals of the message.
The problem was how to invent a
means Of interpreting clearly and cas-
fly all the delicate fluctuations. One
day Lord Kelvin's eyeglass fell on and
swung in front Of the magnet, reflect
ing its movements, and instantly the
idea of the mirror suggested itself. Sc
a monocie has had direct effect on
science.
