Of John Paul Jones, to rest in the crypt

ti6cation of the body. The full story
of this research General Porter tells for

ADJOINING HOME PREMISES.
Progress of Organized Effort in That
Direction.

Progress of Organized Effort In That
Direction.
The recent bulletin OF the American
Civic Association tells how organized
and individual effort is being directed
in many cities to the adjoining Of the
home premises, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. The growth Of the park
systems has been taken as a hint by
private persons that they can en-
bellish their own yards as well and
far more easily than the public au-
thorities can lay out parks and boule-
wards, and that the sum total OF this
private effort will add largely to the
health, happiness and convenience OF
the whole population. The school gar
dens In various cities have given this
movement a new impetus. No home is
so humble that 1t cannot at least have
flower pots In its windows, and no
back yard so small that II cannot sup
port a few flowers. In the adornment
OF walls and fences, too, the possiblli-
ties OF beauty contained In the hum
blest vines are beginning to be reeog-
Rized.
1t has long and justly been a re-
proach TO Americans that they are so
devoted to the material and practical
that ideas have been neglected. II Is
beyond dispute that as respects artistic
adornment the average American home
or town is inferior to the foreign home
or town. This has been VIGOROUSLY
the case in the country. where the
American pioneer chopped or burned
every tree, in sight OF his homestead,
then had to set out shade trees for the
beneft OF his grandchildren.
It is only lately that American cities
and private citizens have embarked
upon intelligent and comprehensive en-
terprises OF city and home adornment
Europe Is old and staid; America
young and restless, with q large mi
gratory population which never stop:

Great Lasting Quality Provided II l.
Laid in onest Fashion.
The disposition OF New York TO re-
turn to wooden pavements three dec
AIDES after they have gone into ruin
and been abandoned II this country.
but retained in the European cities,
naturally eyokes discussion Of the dir
ference between the lasting qualities
Of pavements in this country and the
older ones. Why did wooden pave
ments relapse into chaos within a very
few years in American cities while
lasting fairly well In England and
France7
This is generally attributed to SUI
perior work and materials abroad.
Doubtless that Is a partial cause. But
there is another radical difference in
methods. In American cities the pave
ment laid this year may be torn up
next year to lay some subterranean
line. We have In mind one street in
Plttsburg paved a little over a decade
ago. In the six years following the one
when the pavement was laid there was
just one year when the city itself d
the misunderstanding corporations DID
not tear up the pavement for laying
trolley tracks, water and gas mains Of
electric conduits. In the case of blocl
stone pavements each tearing up and
replacement leaves the pavement
rough and uneven, but Is not absolute
~ destructive. But asphalt or wooder
pavements depend for their life on tbs
stability OF the roadbed and tn,
chronic tearing up is a means o
speedy destruction.
In England the rule is that a pave
ment once laid is not to be torn up Of
cept for the most urgent exigencies
A quotation has recently been publish
ed from a report Of the city enginee
Of Nottingham, In which it is state'
that the pavement on the main stree
Of that city, laid twenty-five years age
has never been torn up and consC
quently has never cost anything 70
repairs. This is made possible becaus
before the pavement was laid an VI
derground pipe gallery was construct
. ed, in which all underground lines ca
be placed without disturbing the paw
ment.
There are still a few things we ca
learn from the old country. II "
