Mending Our Ways.

One would surmise from Mr.. Ed

Of this country that nowhere should
there be better roads. considering the
material that nature has given US.
Here is an excerpt from a paragraph
OIL this subject:
In New England where Industrial
sity. trap rock, the most suited to
heavy travel. exists in abundance.
This rock is found in the Middle and
Lake States, and in smaller quantities
in regions farther south and far up
on the Pacific coast Granite, lime
stone, quartz and sandstone are abund-
ant in many parts Of the country, as
are two materials but lately assum-
ing great Importance in road building,
viz, chertz and novoculties. Natuf~
has not only piled up great rocky
masses of inexhaustible road building
material in favored regions, but has
broken up and prepared rock in other
regions. BY the operation Of the great
law of compensation, vast areas Of
rich low land. destitute in themselves
Of native rock are provided with pre-
pared material In the form of gravel.
which has been carried down from the
rocky region by glacial and water ac-
ton. The sea has been very kind to
us and yielded up vast quantities of
she'll which are converted into beauti-
full and valuable roads. The vege-
table and animal kingdom have con-
tributed their quota. The fauna and
flora of bygone ages We're changed by
beneiicent processes Of nature into
formations which have yielded up in

ISL IA under the impression that
crusneu stone given By the residents
along the road, If placed upon the
crown Of the road. will make dry.
hard roadway without any further
work. Nothing could beSmore false,
and in many parts OF the State each
town is learning the fact that 1t has
thrown away its money III the pur-
chase of a stone crusher and that 1t
has thrown away the material when
it has received from the residents III
the hopes Of getting a good road, ana
that this material. once used. can
never be obtained again, and similar
material may have to be bought at
great expense from outside OF the
town when the next stone is wanted.
The secret Of road construction is
drainage. In the State of New York.
on a three-rod road there falls an
nually on a mile of highway fifty-three
tons Of water and this is the great
est enemy tina. the highway COM
missioner has to contend with. Horses
hoofs, narrow Tres or heavy loads DO
not commence to make the impression
upon a roadway that this immense
volume Of water does. The road sur
face is roof throwing the water on
either side to the bitches. If this sur
face is properly crowned mot too
high. or ruts will be created), say on
a sixteen-foot road, if the crown in
the centre Is eight inches higher than
the sides, SO that the water runs
promptly to the bitches, the road will
be good in all seasons. Crushed stone
thrown upon the surface Of road and
10 provision made for drainage and
bitches, simply goes out OF sight in
the mud, and the mud comes to the
surface and in few years you would
never know that any work had been
done on that road. The crushed
stone is not worn out, but has sunk
below the surface Of the road. Many
a highway commissioner and tax
payer speaks in wonder Of mudhole
in front of his house, into which year
after year he has put stone, earth and
rubbish to fill it up, and which have
gone out Of sight. II this |
mudhole had a ditch made from its |
bottom to the side of the road. SO that |
the water could run into the main
ditch and it was then filled, it would
stay filed and cause no further trou-

The commanders of the United States
coast survey steamers photographer and
Endeavor, and the schooner Matchless,
which spent the winter at Norfolk. have
been instructed to take their vessels to the
navy yard at Norfolk and to arrange with
the authorities their to dock them and make
such repairs as may be necessary as soon
as possible. When the repairs are COM
pleted the steamer Endeavor, Captain
Young, and the schooner Matchless, Cap
tain Vinal will return to the Potomac river
and will take up the survey work where
it was abandoned when the ice stopped
work last fall. The Endeavor will take up
her quarters in the ST. Marys river, on the
lower Potomac, and the Matchless will
come up to Glymont. The steamer Hy-
drographer will, it is expected, be sent to
the coast of Maine to complete some sur
Vey work there.
The steamer Pathfinder, the largest vessel
IN the coast survey service, is on duty on
the northwest coast of the Island of LuZon,
and the work of the coast ard geodetic sur

Life Preservers on Steamers.

The steamboat line managers here. in re-
Spouse to inquiries made at the office OF In
speetor General Uhler, chief of the steam
boat inspection service in this city rave
been notified that under the new laws gov
erning the steamboat inspection service no
life preservers made of copock or ground
cork will be passed by the inspectors when
the steamboats, come up for their next an
nual inspection. Solid cork lfe preservers,
or those made of compressed cork or tule,
will be passed as satisfactory. Copock, the
filing for life preservers which has been
condemned by the inspection service, Is
cotton fiber, and, like the ground cork, is
said not to have the buoyancy, when wet,
requisite for supporting person of aver
age weight in the water. The condemna-
ton of the two kinds of life preSerVarS hits
some of the local steamboats, heavily, and
entails heavy expense On the owners to re-
place the condemned preservers with those
meeting the inspectors requirements. One
steamer here had over 800 of new cOpockS
aboard, purchased a little over year ago.
These will all have to be thrown away I'M
der the requirements of the law There is
not a steamboat in service on the Potomac
but will have a considerable addition made
in her expense account for the purchase of
the new life preSerVerS.
