Among numberless pregnant phrases,
we quote some others illustrative Of the
authors daring: "The greatest crime in
the world-the murder of ones breth-
rem" 'The cruelty, futility and sense
lessness of war" "The Russian tsar, the
same man who exhorted all the nations
in the name of peace, publicly announc-
ing that, Notwithstanding all his efforts
to maintain the peace so dear to his
heart efforts which express themselves
in the Selling of other peoples lands and
in the strengthening of armies for the
defense of these stolen lands), he, owing
to the attacks of the Japanese, COM
mands that the same shall be done to the
Japanese as they had commenced doing
to the Russians. e., that they should
be slaughtered; and in announcing this
call to murder he mentions God, asking
the Divine blessing on the most dreadful
crime in the world" Then the prophet,
gathering momentum as he goes on,
ridicules and denounces the different
Russian classes and government depart
ments that are aiding and abetting the
var; the clergy coming in for goodly
share of his denunciation.
Witheringly he speaks of call these
Slavonic, pompous, senseless and BIAS
phemous prayers, all these insolent,
mendacious speeches about devotion to,
and worship of, the monarch, about
readiness to sacrifice life; all these
senseless benedictions of each Other
with various banners and ikons."
To the question: What then should
be the action of the Russian soldier tsar,
and private individual in the present
crisis? he answers thus: "And, the
work of my life (your life) has nothing
in common with the recognition Of the
lights of Chinese, Japanese or Russians
to Port Arthur II there be a
God, he will not ask me when l die
whether l retained Chimanpo, with its
timber stores, or Port Arthur, or even

ITO love ones enemies-the Japa-

toward whom benighted men are now
endeavoring to excite our hatred-to
love them means not to kill them for
the purpose of having the right of pois-

their lands, as was done by the French,
The Russians, and the Germans; not to
bury them alive in punishment for injur-
ing roads, not to tie them together by
their hair, not to drown them in their
river Amur as did the Russians" This

Let it be clearly understood at the OUT

been rendered homogeneous by the pud-
ding process and the grains of sand
have been brought into contact, with
only the interstices between them filled
with clay as binder. The first operation
is mixing; the second is rolling as the
mixture dries. This forces the particles
of sand together, and any excess of clay
tends to rise to the surface, rendering 1t
sticky. This clay must in turn be sanded
and the operations repeated until the
surface has become hard and compact.
Many failures have been made in the
building of sand-clay roads, and few
of the more common causes of these fail
ures will be pointed out.
The first cause of failure is the want
of perfect drainage. The imperfections
may be in the cross-sectiOnal drainage,
the side bitches, or the drainage of the
subgrade or roadbed. 1t is customary to
give to a sand-clay road little greater
crown than is usually given to mac

is above three per cent. The subject of
