is the addition of sand to the point Of
saturation, but not beyond.
Let 1t be clearly understood at the out
set that no sand-clay road can satisfac-
torily withstand the severity of public
travel without having first been reduced
to compact homogeneous mass OF sand
and clay. Each grain of sand should be
in touch with other grains on all sides.
such a condition cannot be secured with
out the agency of water. 1t is useless to
roll a dry sand-clay road before it has
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 it
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 fall
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
adam road, especially where the grade
is above three per cent. The subject Of
side bitches should have more careful
consideration than is usually given in

Lost in the Woods.

After being lost six days in the
dense woods of Erie and living on ber-
ries and water and sleeping on the
ground, Charlie, the 4-year-old son OF
Fred and Mrs. Weirauch of Frazee,
was found in the woods three miles
from his fathers home and nine miles
from Frazee.
He was almost naked, all his cloth
ing but his shirt was torn off by the
underbrush and his body was burned
by the sun and torn by the brush.
Mrs. Weirauch left home to pick ber-
ries and the boy strayed away. When
he could not be found at evening il
was feared that he was drowned in the
Ottor Tail river, where his brother was
drowned some years ago.
Detroit and Frazee sent out over loo
men and the Commonwealth Lumber
Company sent men and teams, but fol
five days he could not be found.

Scotchman recently won with compare

event three times. On the two previous
occasions he won after ties with Alec
Smith at Myopia Hunt and with David

Gilbert Nichols, of ST. Louis, his near
est opponent AS he annexed the west
ern open championship at Grand Rap
ids only a week before, registering the
score of 304 strokes in the competition,
he is now monarch of all he surveys.
His previous win of the western title
was at Cleveland in 1902, when he won
with score of 299, figures which have
never been beaten in this country. An
derson's recent performances stamp
him as the greatest golfer in the coun-
try. For time it looked as if his title
might pass from him, but when the
pressure of the final round and the
presence of galleries began to affect the
play of the contenders he rose to the
occasion and came home with the best
figures of the two days play, his 70
being equaled only by one other player.

Failure is sometimes due to the kind
of sand selected. None except sand
made up of angular grains is adapted to
sand-clay road making. Sand with
grains which are worn off round, or
sand which has been ground up by the
action of wheels or water until very
fine, is unsatisfactory and often worth
less. The use of such material should
be avoided, as perfect bond cannot be
effected, and the road cannot resist the

A careful student of the life of Tolstoy,
Mr.. George H. Perris, says that hardly
a page that Tolstoy has put forth in the
last 20 years has not contained some
scathing indictment of the falseness, the
cruelty, of the social forms maintained
by imperial authority about him. Ut
terly fearless he has been in his denun-
Citations of Russia's weaknesses and
weaknesses, and his fearlessness has not
abated with old age. A short time ago
the London Times devoted ten volumns
of an issue to Count Tolstoy on War"
a most imprisoned arraignment of the
Russo-Japanese conflict. Count Tolstoy
who so consistently endeavors to fol-
low literally the teachings of the Bible

Frightful Death.

The most appalling accident in the
history of the Minneapolis lumber
mills occurred at the Itasca mill, when
John Knordsik was instantly killed by
circular saw. He was a new hand
and had just started to work in the
afternoon He was given charge of
the conveyors that carry the wood to
the saws and was told not to move
from the platform on which he was at
work Forgetfully he stepped onto
the conveyor and before he could cry
for help was carried with the wood
into the saws. His body was cut into
eleven pieces and thrown several feet,
almost at the feet of the Mortified
workbench

Fell to Death.

Charles G. Sebastian was killed by
falling from a swinging stage while
painting at the fourth story of the
Ryan building, Seventh and Robert
streets, st. Paul. Death resulted from
a fracture of the skull. Mr.. Sebastian
was working on the stage with Hokan
Liedholm. According to an eye-wit-
ness, Sebastian placed his right foot
on the sill of window to reach the
framework, and in doing SO his left
foot pushed the stage from the wall
He lost his balance and fell between
the stage and the building. He struck
the awning of the window beneath
him at the third floor, which was torn
away by the weight of his body. The
awning at the second story also gave
way under his weight and he struck
the sidewalk on his head and shoulders.

horse to win the American derby. But
for the faith that "Bub" May, his train
er, had in his prowess he would not
have been sent to Chicago for that
prize, for only a few days before he
had performed disappointingly in the
Brooklyn derby and H. NJ Scheftel had
decided to keep the horse in New York.
Nav maintained at the time that Hide
brands handling of the colt was re-
sponsible for his defeat, so Grover Full
Ter was engaged to ride him in the
western classic, and the result spoke
for Mays judgement. Highbalps first
effort after his return from the west
was in the Advance stakes, in which
he finished fourth to Irish Lad, Ort
Wells and Bryn Mawr. A few days
later he won the Spindrift handicap at
Sheepshead Bay, victory which Melted
his owners 81 lis. His last start, pre-
vious to his fatal race, was in the rec
ord-breaking running of the Brighton
handicap, in which he finished third to
Broomstick and Irish Lad. That race
saw Irish Lads breakdown and it is
regarded as singular that two Of the
three prominent contenders in that
memorable contest should have so soon
reached the end of their turf careers.
Highball was a three-year-old colt by
Ben Strome out of Strychnia. His sire
was a son of Bend Or and through both
sire and dam Highball's descent could
be traced through many a famous
strain of runners. Highball had one
bad racing trick, a tendency to run
out at the turns. Like all of his faith

speed, but he differed from many Of
them in that he also ran well over a
distance of ground, and could. as turf

Gov. Taft outlined plan for a Filipino display at St. Louis, which has been carried out faithfully.
 The Philippine Exposition is per- haps the most striking feature of the Worlds Fair. It covers a tract of IT acres. There are 1900 natives. The buildings number about 113, not count ing the numerous huts in the five native villages. Because the Philip pine display is rather isolated from the rest of the Fair, the average visitor is generally amazed when he crosses the Bridge of Spain over Arrow Head lake, goes through the grim looking entrance of the Walled City. and be- holds the elaborate features spread out before him.
