macadam, says Good Roads Maga-
zine, was done by hand in this coun-
try until Mr.. Arthur Brown, the city
engineer of Nottingham, co-operat-
ing with Herbert G. Clark, another
engineer, invented an apparatus to
supersede the crude method of heat
ing granite chips on an iron slab and
then mixing them with hot tar, a dis
agreeable process, which has been
found to produce sundry throat trou-
bles. The new apparatus consists
first of hopper, into which the ma
terial to be treated is delivered di-
rectly from carts or wagons either
by tipping or other suitable methods.
The material Is fed into cylinder
from the hopper by mechanism
which regulates at an even rate the
supply of the material, Stag or other
wise, and delivers 1t into the cylin-
der, which is divided into Longitude
nal compartments, and so inclined
as to pass through 1t readily the ma
terial delivered into 1T. 1t Is mount
ed on anti-friction rollers to mini
mize the driving power. Inside this
cylinder is an inner cylinder or
trough, containing worm conveyor.
Under the apparatus are two COM
bustion chambers In which coke fires
are maintained for supplying heat to
the outer cylinder and its longitu-
dinal compartments, and also to the
outside of the inner cylinder or
trough containing the conveyor.
These combustion chambers supply
that also to two tanks holding the tar
or other mixture, which are situated
at the lower end of the apparatus in
the form of saddle over the cylin
der. Connected with these tanks are
pipes, which are coupled to a piece
of mechanism for automatically dis
tributing or spraying the tar onto
the Stag or other material.
The process is. therefore, as fol-
lows: Stag or other material is de-
livered into the hopper and fed auto
matically into the longitudinal poek-
cts in the cylinder. AS this cylinder
is inclined, the material is slowly
passed through as 1t revolves, is
thoroughly dried and heated, and
then falls into the lower end of the
inner cylinder, where 1t receives the
proper amount of tar, and is turned
over and mixed in the trough which
contains the worm conveyor, when il
Is delivered at the upper end thor

A COVERT INSULT.

The deliberate attempt to drag the
Astoria Water Commission into the 10.
cal political arena is construed by very
many citizens as a covert insult to
the men, who, without one dollar oil
compensation, have worked sedulously
to put the system and finances Of that
department. ON safe and enduring
basis, and have borne the brunt of the
work of deyising and applying the safe
guards that have made it one of the
irreproachable institutions in Astoria's
municipal melange.
The fact that no reasonable excuse is,
nor can be, given for the warping Of
the department from it's present accept
able status to that Of a mere element
of the Citizens machine, is taken as
conclusive evidence of the real purposes
of the men who are engineering the
change, and the tax-paying property
owners are alive to the danger that
threatens and will give the scheme its
qnietus when the time comes.
There always comes time and a
specific means when the "machine"
finds place to put its foot in it; and
in this instance its foot is in it up

A LACE JACKET APPEARS.
It Is Quite Short and Half Fitting and
Nay Be Made Of Heavy
Embroidery.

So far the only novelty that is
promised for the summer season is the
lace Jacket.
1t is a charming little affair quite
short and half fitting. 1t is made Of
embroidery quite as often as 1t is of
lace. Handsome frocks show it as
we'll as simple ones as an accessory.
There is every reason to believe 1t
will be popular and usually becoming.
1t redeems very plain gown from
being too severe for afternoon occa-
sions. They can be made at home.
but all the shops are showing 30 many
of them that it is possible they will be
very reasonable in price when the hot
weather comes in.
Those made of heavy embroidery
mixed with Irish lace are lovely and
will be worn over all kinds of thin
white frocks. There are others of Ger
man lace edged with ribbon or che
mile in faint colors that are fetching.
They go over the very sneer frocks
that are unlined and show colored rib
bon through. The hat or its feathers
match in color and the whole costume
makes for artistic effect.
OF course these jackets, no matter
what made of, are unlined. The
sleeves are short and quite full. Not
that they are gathered but they do
swing in wide circle from the
shoulder.
