The road strip should be unobstrusive-
~ located. Roads that wind in and
out, that skirt the brow of hills and
are free from acute angles and formal
curves are generally most pleasing in
their landscape effects. If the read
adds stiffness TO the landscape il is bad
from an athletic standpoint. Many
of the iron bridges put in on our high
ways are hidcous in their ugliness.
II seems on looking at them that the
supports Of the bridge have been
placed on top Of the bridge, and we
have the anomoly of the bridge appar-
entity supporting that which in reality
STONE BRIDGES
should support it. No bridge has
ever eXcelled in beauty The stone
bridge which embodies the arch. The
piiubco dic iiou oilly DcdullluI, lIlcl
are the most useful and the cheapest
known. The Pennsylvania railroad
company is now putting in such
bridges along its entire line. The
iron bridge is not easily kept in repair.
1t is said that when the painters
reach one end of the Brooklyn bridge
they go back and begin over again AT
the other end. The stone bridge is
the bridge.
The material for road pudding
deserve Il passing notice. Trap rock
is the best, then comes granite and
lastly gravel free from sand and clay
and possessing in generous quantities
oxides Of iron. Ordinary gravel mixed
with clay and sand is very poor road
material. 1t will only last short
time. AS everyone knows, the granite
road Is constantly being renewed.
CRUSHED limestone is very poor mater
ial. In many cases more would be
gained by leaving road strips untouch-
ed and then encouraging the growth
of turf and other forms of vegetation
that would fill the surface with hardy
roots.

pour of rain may become serious
matter. Large sand areas render road
building almost hopeless. A surface
composed of concal shaped hills the

the windings in road thereby max
ing 1t cost more. A careful study of
the Atlantic coast surface explains
why the bride path fingered there so
very long.

ABOUT TREES

Two plans have been followed in
road forestry-one is the conventional
plan of planting trees along the sides
at regular intervals: the other plan is
to develop here and there rural parks
and clumps Of trees. There are scri-
Gus objections to the first plan. both
from the standpoint of beauty and of
utility. Regular and conventional
lines of trees shade the road too much
thereby inducing dampness and hin
dering drainage. OF course some
shade is desirable In my statement
! refer to an excessive amount. Con-
ventional lines of trees increase the
danger from drifting SHOWS and in
crease the power Of wind currents
over the surface of the road bed The
road bed in relation to the landscape
should be made to appear informal.
Conventional rows of trees bring
about the opposite effect. Clumps Of
trees here and there with occasional
rural parks rest the eye and add
beauty and diversity to the landscape.
In many cases the road may be To-
Gated so as to pass through or near
national forest groups thus doing
away with the necessity for tree plant
ing and tree cultivation. In Euro
pean countries fruit trees sometimes
border the line of highways.
These trees are owned by the adjac-
ent land owners and the fruit is re-
spected by the travelling public, it is
not probable that such plan could
be successfully carried out in America
because we still hold to certain crude
notions regarding the rights of per-
sons. Occasional watering places for
man and beast increase the utility
and the beauty of the road. No land
scape is complete without the flow
and the sparkle of water. These wat
cring places may be furnished by
springs found along the highway or
10y water carried in pipes from a high
er level. The water receptacle should
be made with "A view to beauty as well
as to use. If necessary, occasional
wells should he put down for public
use. From beauty standpoint the
most important problem is the loca-
tion of the road bed so that from one
ehd to the other it may constitute 4
pleasing feature of the landscape.

SOME DIFFICULTIES.

CONTOUR and surface have much to
DO with making easy or difficult road
building. In region like Illinois the
mere question of grading is very easy.
a&here are few if any streams to
brldge, there are no hills to be graded
and cut down. 1t is not necessary to
introduce curves and windings. AS a
result places can be connected with
highways over the shortest possible
distance. The road maker does not
nave to cut down forests and dig up
Stumps. The conditions here for the

TO be very favorable. Greater natural

geologic forces; those growing out of
contour and surface conditions: eli
mate difficulties. Peculiarities in
geological formation set the upper
limit for possibilities in successful road
making. A good road is madepossi-
BILE by the application of correct ell
cheering principles and by the pres
ence of proper materials out of which
to construct 1t. Good road material
should possess reasonable hardness,
parasity, elasticity and high powers
Of concentration and of Recommendation.
Unfortunately such material Is rela-
lively scarce and exceedingly unequal
in its distribution. In this respect
Europe Is somewhat better of than is
North America. There are large areas
in the United States where proper
materials cannot be found. Illinois,
for instance, with her prairie surface
and black soil presents almost insuper-
able difficulties in the matter of ideal
road construction. Indiana is not
much better off than Illinois in this
respect. The abundant gravels of
that State do not possess any high
ypowers of concentration and recementa-
zion. The people of Indiana are now
congratulating themselves on having
paid the original cost of their gravel
roads. They do not seem fully to
have realized that it will be necessary
to build their roads over again every
ten or twelve years, caused by the
defective materials used in construc-
tion. Gcologically speaking, the con-
ditions for road construction are more
favorable south of the Ohio than
north of that river. Glacial activity
so prominent north of the Ohio, has
left the stratas torn up and jumbled
together. AS result the surface is
in poor condition to support road beds
In this region both the problem of
constructing road bed and that
other of obtaining proper materials,
are serious ones. The undisturbed
stratas south of the Ohio render less
difficult the problem of getting good
road bed. In some parts of the south
sand beds make road construction
difficult. 1t should be remembered
in this connection that the geologic
difficulty is most serious one because
z is fundamental and increases in a
geometrical ratio all the other diff
culties. The danger to roads from
sudden rainfall is lessened If the
stratas have been but little disturbed.
West of the Missippi the geological
difficulties are also great. The eli
mate difficulties are probably intensi-
fed In all human activity we find
an upper limit set by nature. II you
increase indefinitely the labor devoted
to one acre of land the product will
finally be reduced to zero.
Our coal supply is rapidly being ex-
hausted. Already the timber supply
is running low. 1t behoOves us then
IN our highway building to keep in
mind our upper limit and waste no
energy in trying TO overcome insuper-
able obstacles.

ALL THE STATES AT
THE WORLDS FAIR
Many Beautiful Pavilions and Prekeu-
tious Buildings Show Forth the.
Enterprise of American
Commemorative.

A beautiful city has grown up among
the trees on the Worlds Fair grounds
at St Louis. 1T has nothing to do with
the immense exhibit palaces, but is a
thing apart. The houses in this new
city are of various styles Of arcMtec-
ture. Some are palatial in size and ap-
pearance, while others look merely oozy
and inviting. Never before have so
many notable, and historic buildings
been constructed In one group. This
new city might be called the City Of
the States, for the houses included in it
are the state buildings at the Fair.
The city is not compact, but some
what struggling, as BELTS the pictur-
esqueness Of the view. Yet there is
nothing suggestive of Stringtown-
on-the-Pike about this city, for the
grounds surrounding each of the houses
are beautided with gardens typical OF
the state represented.
All the states are to be represented
at the Worlds Fair. This means q
great deal a shining triumph for the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and
furnishes another illustration of the
fact that this Exposition's. complete
ness is the marvel of the age
Fifty-one states, territories and pos
sessions OF the United States have
taken the steps necessary to partici
pate in the Worlds Fair on an impor,
tant scale. But two states were still
outside the fold at the last report, and
In each of these was O. well defined

the event of legislative inaction this
commonwealth may be represented.
