An Important Victory.

Inc friends Of the road office in the
Department Of Agriculture have scored
an important victory in securing in the
senate an increase of $500 in the
appropriations for road investigations
anu experiments, including the build.
ing of object lesson roads.
Ihls rs National aid on a small scale.
But it is Of great Importance from
an educational point of view. Here
tofore the object lesson work has been
| conducted in the following manner:
An application is sent in by some ex.
pertinent station Or agricultural college,
or by road officials. or public spirited
cltlzens OF some progressive commun.
1ty asking the Government to co-oper-
ate in the building of a short stretch
Oh road. The Government usually fur
nshes nothing more than an engineer
or an expert to make plans and SUPER
wise the work. Roadmaking machinery
is usually furnished free of charge by
the manufacturers for the sake of the
advertisement it gives them. The rail.
roads also take hand and TRANSPORT
the machinery free. The institution or
community making the application has
to foot the bills for labor and mate
rails.
Among the benefits flowing from
such work are % that it gives an ex-
cellent opportunity to investigate and
test the various local materials; ~ that
1t gives the people Of that locality a
lesson IN the methods of road building
ana III the use Of road materials and
machinery, and O. that the building of
snort piece Of road usually leads to
the building of large mileage of i'm
proved road in the vicinity. To have
Uncle Sam come into a community and
help build a good road, be it ever SO
snort, seems to arouse great popular
interest and stimulate local effort. It
is claimed by those who know most
ABOUT the results of the work already
done that in no other direction does
the Government accomplish so much
with so little outlay.
But TIE opponents OF National aid are
afraid that object lesson roads are
only a stepping stone to National aid
OF vastly greater dimensions. and in
this they are probably right. However
that may be. it appears certain that
object lesson road building will be car.
rled on next year to a larger extent
than ever before. Many applications
are now on file in the Department of
Agriculture, and many more are az
pected.

\ Wonderful. Canyon.

In preparing for the construction OF
tunnel to irrfGate the Uncompahgre
valley in western Colorado, Il became
necessary TO make topographic sur
vey OF the bottom OF the grand canyon
OF the Gu1nison river for a distance
OF about 1900 feet. But the walls of
this canyon. approximately 1000 feet
In height. are sheer precipices. and il
Is impossible to go through In boats.
A descent to the bottom va. effected
by means OF harrow assure eroded
In the granite cliffs. but in order to
reach the opposite side Of the river,
with the aid Of similar assure, the
surveying party had to make a detour
OF about $50 niles. In all. four ex-
tremely perilous descents were made
TO the bottom Of the canyon. In places
II was necessary TO let the men down
over cliffs several hundred feet by
means Of ropes.

Across the waters flung Its reckoning

And SO we glided through the violet

HAS COMPOSITE SKIN.
Pieces of CuticIe from Various Races
Grated On.

From the New York American.
Chicago, Oct. S.-A woman whose
skin is a patchwork of pieces of cpl
dermis taken from persons representing
every nation on the earth is Miss En-
ma Gallagher, No. 626 Davis street,
Evanston. Miss Gallagher inserted an
advertisement in the newspapers
through which she hopes to obtain
enough money through the sale of sew
ing machines to enable her to buy an
other square foot of human epidermis
for skin grating purposes.
Twenty-three skin grating opera
tions have been undergone by Miss
Gallagher since she was burned from
the neck to waist in a gasoline ex-
plosion eight years ago. Her left arm
is still without skin and has grown to
her body.
Skin is higher priced than oilcloth
commented Miss Gallagher sagely yes
terday. when she was asked to tell
about her efforts to buy skin. THE
average cost of human skin is about
$1,000 a square foot. When once
advertised, one hundred men volunteer
ed to sell theirs. Many of them falt-
best live skin should be taken off In
strips about nine inches long and one
and three-Quarter inches wide. Ne
gro skin, the doctors say will turn
white when grated on white person.
When i was in ST. Elizabeth's Hos
pital for two years thirty-three nurses
volunteered to give me skin, but l re-
fused to let them do so. The doctors
got some from amputations, but that
kind is not good for grating purposes.
"All the nations of the earth are rep
resented in the skin that covers my
back. You can call me Chinese or
Eskimo if you like, and the chances
are that you will not be far from right
in some measure. l was originally an
American, but my skin is cosmopOli-
tan-decidedly so. If people will give
me orders for sewing machines I will
be able to get together enough money
to secure some more victims for the
skin sacrifice"
Miss Gallagher is thirty-eight years
old. She says that she is famed for
her skin, with its varied compilations,
in every hospital in Chicago.
