woman, he went on; "In those clrcum-

The report Of the New Jersey State
Road Commissioner for 1905 shows
that LII miles Of good roadways have
been constructed since the passage OF
the State aid law few years ago.
The mileage-1O594-c last
year and under construction at its
close has been exceeded in previous
years, but II is substantial incre-
ment
In his report for 1904 the Commits
sioner said that the State aid act had
greatly encouraged road Improvement;
had, in fact, done more to advertise
the State and attract population and
wealth to 1t than any other legisla-
ton enacted during the two hundred
and forty-1ve years of its existence
as colony and a State. The asser-
ton was made that New Jersey had
increased In population during the last
three census periods more rapidly
than any other State east of the Mis-
slssippi, and that much OF this encour-
aging Increase Is to be credited to good
roads. 1t was urged that many visit
ors attracted by the improved high
ways had become home seekers and
permanent residents. The Road Com
missioner has frequently appealed to
the Legislature to appropriate a lib
eral portion of the States large treas
ury surplus to the extension OF good
roads. Experience has demonstrated
that the money thus appropriated is
profitable investment.
The State has more miles of macad-
amized roads than any other three
States in the Union. These roads,
with the use of the automobile, open
up properties FIVE or ten miles from
the railroad stations. Thus towns and
nelghborhoods are being rapidly built
up with useful, intelligent and tax
paying class of Inhabitants
New Jersey Is the pioneer In the
present movement for State-alded road
building in evidence in many States
1t has set good example for less pro-
gressive communities. and has reaped
practical advantages from its enter
prise In this direction. The topogra-
ply OF the State particularly in its
southern portion. is admirably adapt
ed to road construction. The re-
sorts along the coast VIII eventually
become an almost continuous seaside
settlement. The electric railways and
the good roads for automobile and or
binary transit are rapidly converting
barren wastes into populous districts.
The Commissioner latest report
contains special references which will
interest the owners of automobiles. He
displays no unfriendliness toward the
motors. He recognizes them as lawful
means of conveyance and entitled to
the use of the highways, but observes
that the high-speed machines subject
the improved roads TO much damage,
and suggests that tney ne taxed In
proportion to the maximum speed of
which they are capable, the tax to be
applied to road repairs and mainten-
ance.
The Commissioner is anxious to
maintain the pre-eminence OF the
State as a road builder:
New Jerseys position as the first
good roads State is as yet unchalleng-
ed As we have so long excelled,
we are naturally anxious to hold the
high position we have gained. Phil

HOW THE HOUSE BREATHEs.


An Englishman, writing IN the Corn
hill Magazine, says that the House OF
Commons has not only the best posi-
BILE acoustic properties, but is also ex-
ceptionally well ventilated. Under n
wall Of the Palace Of Westminster is
a vault and through this passes the
supply OF air for the debating cham
Der. This food Of fresh air comes in
from outside and is first intercepted
by a broad expanse of falling water
through which 1t must pass, leaving
behind 1t In its progress all particles
OF dust.
Inside the chamber are two shafts
moved by large wheels. These drive
the air into what looks like an enor-
nous grain-bin, a chamber, 8 feet high,
extending the full breadth Of the vault,
distance Of 10 feet.
Inside this bin is a close-fitting shut
ter, which travels backward and for
ward. AS 1t is pushed forward, the
air in the bin passes up through fun
mel into another chamber, and the
close-ftting shutter, advancing. leaves
a vacuum behind it, into which the
outer air comes rushing, to be driven,
in its turn, upward.
Thus through the long hours while
tongues wag above, the almost silent
shutter fans back and forth, pushing
the air out Of the bin, and when a
fresh supply enters on the other side,
forcing it. In its turn, upward.
This air energies from the upper bin
into a gallery, along which it courses
until 1t reaches the space under the
legislative chamber. There. on sue
cession Of gratings, are piled in sum
mer blocks OF ice, upon which the air
Is cooled before 1t rises through the
close Iron grating which makes the
floor of the House. In winter the air
is comfortably heated before it reaches
this outlet, and during seasons of fog
1t is made to pass through layers Of
cotton six inches thick.
At one time, when the fog had last
ed for forty eight hours, the cotton was
as black with the SCOT 1t had absorbed
as the inside Of chimney. But the
air In the legislative chamber remain
ed absolutely pure.
The method by which the vitlated
atmosphere escapes from the House
is a very simple one. At the edge of
the ceiling are panels opening into a
space left between ceiling and roof.
The air, rarefied by use, ascends, es-
capes by these open panels, and is con.
Quoted by fiues to the basement, where
great fire is burning brightly on the
hearth. This draws to itself the in
rushing air, and drives 1t up a shaft
which opens in the clock-tower, a
height Of 230 feet. There 1t escape
into the vast expanse of overhead Lon.

The French peasant who, since the

France into a kind Of walled garden,

Of the fields, makes for national health.

All of the local cemeteries have donated
ground to the Grand Army of the Re

The original donations were made some
time ago and the ground which was given
for that purpose has been in use. but at
some of the cemeteries the original plots
were filled with bodies, and in each in
stance additional ground has been given.
which is highly appreciated by the Grand
Army.
In order to show its appreciation of
the ground 50 kindly donated for this
purpose, the Department of Delaware
has with the assistance of kind friends,
many of whom are not members of the
order, placed cannon on some of the
plots and curbing around them. which
