4 TALK ON GOOD ROADS.
Laying Out the Roadbed and Keep.
ing It in Repair-Use the
King Drag.

II is one thing to build a good road,
and it is another to keep it in repair.
o. W. Mapes gives some important sug-
gestions on the work of building and
repairing roads, as follows: The first
step is to stake out the work, by making
a light furrow on each side of the pro.
posed work, IL or IA feet apart. If any
part of these first burrows comes with
IN the beaten track, where it is hard,
1t should be done just after a soaking
rain, either with a pillow or the point OF
a road machine. Next put the wheel
OF the road machine in this light furrow,
hold the point of the blade firmly down
IN place, remove every stone which the
point strikes and work down and out,
until enough dirt is secured to bring a
good crown to the center of the road
and a good gutter on each side, max.
Ing suitable outlets from all low points
In these cutters. This is only a cues
ton of applying sufficient team power
and removing all stones that interfere
with making a good gutter. On por.
tons of our road this alone will give US
a good road with proper care in honing
down after each heavy rain, and rak.
Ing out all loose stones. Other Dor
lions will need a little gravel or shale
along the crown of the road. There
are several hills where this can be Sc
cured requiring only short hauls. 4
cubic yard hauled on a 12-foot wagon is
enough for the worst places by dump
Ing a full load in a place, and in other
places a half OF a third of a load in 8
place will finish the crown of the load.
Grading with the machine should not
cost more than $25 per mile, nor draw
ing h gravel OF the crown of the road
more than 40 cents per cubic yard. This
makes the cost only 5000 per mile, we're
a full load of gravel placed on the crown
OF the road all the way.
How about the after-care of such n
road? Here is the secret of success.
When h first rain comes, PASSING
teams and vehicles will puddle the ma.
terfal along the crown of the road in
the beaten track, forming a hard crust
as 1t dries, which will be somewhat
rough and neven Before it becomes
too dry and hard, hone the surface per-
fectly smooth and true with a light
hone. about five or six feet long. Ona

IDEAS OF

A German has invented a means Of
using light rays instead of wires tor
telephony. The system has been
found very useful at sea, the search
light carrying the voice perfectly.
An Italian engineer has recently de-
veloped a very efficient and economic
process for welding steel and iron by
means Of acetylene gas. The heat pro-
duced by the combustion of acetylene
and oxygen mixed at the moment of
burning is about 1900 degrees Fahren-
heit, which is higher than the temper
AZURE of the oxyhydrogen fame and
lear that of the electric arc.
A very efficient stenotyping amchine
by which a syllable (and in some
cases two or three sylalbles) is print
ed in plain type at each stroke OF the
fingers, has just been invented by a
Partisan. This result has been OBJ
tanned by an ingenious arrangement
Of the letters of the alphabet. 1t is
said that SO words a minute can be
written by an amateur, while a normal
speed of 1875 to $50 words can be
obtained in two months, and In some
cases as high as 800 words.
A mechanical device has been in
vented which is reported to be sure
to induce drowsiness and then sleep
In ordinary cases Of wakefulness. 1t
is said to have almost hypnotic powers

in nothing but curiously shaped and
irregularly placed "paddlers" attached

The old saying that politics

fed by the stress OF the Republican

offer any guest more than three courses

the provider of the feast was liable

who partook of it could be called upon
to pay the authorities 40 francs each.
