each layer being of a inner quality

and over the foundations. The final
layer is of very fine crushed stone.
The whole settles itself into a com
pact mass, almost as smooth as a flag
stone, from which water runs off as
soon as it falls. The Telford road is
more expensive because its founda-
ton is laid with more care. The Suun-
dation stones are of a uniform size
and are laid with the ends uppermost,
like so many bricks set upon edge.
These are bound together by smaller
sizes of stone, the various dressings
OF finer stone being laid and rolled
in the same way as for the macadam
roads. The durability of such high
way Is unquestionably longer than any
other kind of road known.

The cost of road building varies in
the different places according to the
topography of the country and the
proximity of the stone used, says
Franklin Matthews, in June Outing.
A satisfactory highway can be built
eighteen feet wide. exclusively of
stone, usually for $4,000 to $4,000
mile. These are known as macadam
roads. A more costly stone road run
ming from $4,000 to $4,000 a mile is
the Telford road. Both are named
after Scotchmen, who first devised the
systems. The macadam road consists
of deep foundation of large stones,
laid as smoothly together as possible,
the foundation stones being of a near
ly uniform size. A layer Of small
stones is placed over the foundation
and rolled down, binding the two to-

Have to Eat Arsenic

Eating of arsenic is common in Sly
ria. The Styrians say that arsenic
makes one plump and comely and
gives one strength for great exertions,
such as running or mountain climbing.
Syria. in Austria, gives the world
vast quantities of arsenic; the manu-
facture of this drug is indeed the main
Syrian industry. They who make ar
scnic eat it. as rule, for they say
that only the arsenic eater can with
stand the arsenic fumes.
These makers and eaters Ca the drug
are comely. They have a blooming
and clear color They look much
younger than they are.
THE foreman in a certain arsenic
factory told me that in his boyhood,
when he first came to that plant, he
was advised to begin to eat arsenic
lest his health suffer from the fumes"
says a toXicologist. HE did begin,
and his first two or three small doses

He Was the Promoter

How Seth Bullock, superintendent
Of the Black Hills forest reserve, per-
sonal friend of the President and not
infrequently a guest at the White
House, and a noted western charac-
ter, managed to secure a fancy drink
In the early days of Helena, is told
by former resident of that city, now
of this. 1t serves to show that the
age of promotion" is not as young as
is pictured by later date savants.
II was in the early '70's, when Hell
ena was one of the banner placer min
ing camps Of the west and gold was
being washed by hundreds of men
from the sands of Last Chance gulch
(now Main street,. Bullock wanted a
fancy drink and did not care to re-
munerate the bartender win a fancy
price in lieu, SO he evolved plan
which worked to perfection.
Entering the saloon, Bullock said:
C, I'll tell you what let's do.
If you will furnish the sherry, I'll fur
nish the fresh eggs, and we will mix
up drink that is out of sight"

gave him sharp pain. like burn. in
the stomach, and this pain was fol-
lowed by tremendous hunger and a
violent, disagreeable excitement. But
as his doses increased in frequency
and size their effect became pleasant.
There was no longer pain or excite
ment; on the contrary, there was
ravenous appetite and a mood of joy
Gus activity wherein the youth could
do three mems work.
This chap, by the time he got to be
30 was taking four grains OF arsenic
day. He looked at 80, with his clear
pink and white color no more than 49,
He was as robust as a blacksmith. But
he said he would die at 40 or so. that
being the age at which all the Syrian
arsenic eaters die"
The drug is a preventative and in
Syria, when graves are opened bodies
are found to be as fresh six or seven
years after interment as on the day
they were lowered into the earth.

AS eggs were worth 81 dozen, the
liquor man decided that 1t was a good
bargain, although wine was also sold
at stiff figure in those days. Then
Bullock went into grocery near by,
and said to the proprietor:
w, if you will furnish the eggs
I'll furnish the sherry and We viii
have something worth while in the
line of fancy drinks"
The grocer agreed to furnish the
eggs, and few minutes later both
entered the liquor house. The con-
coction was duly prepared and the
three began to absorb it.
AS Seth swallowed his share, an
idea struck the bartender.
Say" demanded he, turning upon
Seth, where do you come in ON this
game, anyway? W has furnished
the eggs and l have supplied the
liquor. How do you get imp
"Oh, I'm the promoter" replied Bull

In Alameda, California, suburb OF
San Francisco, there are many vege-
table gardens, some kept by Italians,
some by Greeks, but most OF them by
Cinnamon.
Ten years ago these gardeners were
almost all Cinnamon, and they ac-
CURED the belief that a monopoly of
the business was their right. About
seventy Of them had formed a colony
just outside Alameda, and laid out a
garden OF about twenty acres.
One day some Japanese showed up
and leased an adjoining strip Of land.
They put up some shacks, and then,
TO the great indignation of the China
men. they began blowing up their
land for garden truck.
or course, there could be no
friendly relations between them. but
for year their enmity found express
sion In nothing worse than scOwls
and occasional boundary disputes.
Then came the Chino-Japanese war.
Feeling ran high among the San
Francisco Cinnamon because their
local papers printed some fiery edi-
torials against the Japs. This spirit
Of jingoism was communicated to the
Alameda Cinnamon, and the relations
between them and their Japanese
neighbors became intensely strained.
The Japs placed outposts along the
boundary fences, fearing that the
Chinese would raid their truck

The Cinnamon took similar precau-
tons.
This was the situation for months.
until at last the news came OF a seri-
Gus Chinese defeat.
The Cinnamon were deeply stirred.
and one morning they lined up along
the fence, seventy strong, and told the
Japanese, in a mixture OF Cantonese
and English profanity, just how tnfin-
itesimal they considered them.
The Japs sounded a call to arms and
told the Cinnamon that they were
unclean monkeys, and that II they
didn't keep to leeward of them, they
would give them an illustration OK
how Wei-hai-wei had ben captured
A Chinaman picked up a tuTnip,

Two hours later the sheriff OF Aaa-
media county was called out to restore
peace. Both the Japanese and Chi
nese settlements had been demolish-
ed, the gardens torn up, apd every
Jap and Chinaman bore physical evi-
dence of the fierceness of the fight.
Next day the head man OF each
colony paid a fine, the colonists ne
turned to their ranches, rebuilt their
huts, and ever after lived on the best
of terms with each other. They had
let off the surplus steam of their pa
triotism.
