Wild Beasts of New York City.


AS a matter of fact, it is not very
generally known that wild trout may
be taken and wild game killed within
the corporate limits Of New York city.
Certainly I have found but few that
seemed to know that foxes, and not
always foxes bred for the purpose,
but the genuine wild Reynard, are
chased on Staten Island. The city linn
its are very extended. A good slice
is taken off Westchester county at the
north, the whole of one end Of Long
Island at the east, while Staten Island
entire is included at the south. There
are wooded districts within these
houndaries-brushy hills and swampy
thickets-s some of them we'll nigh in
accessible. There are fresh water
streams and lakes, and there are vast
areas of salt water; also there are
wide set meadows or marsh lands
where the waters of ocean and bay
and sound swept long ago and where
salt creeks and inlets still make and
cob with tie tide. Such haunts as
these are ideal, and the crea lures that
have held them against three centuries
OF ciyiiiZati ton are not to be easily
driven away.-Albert Bigelow Paine in

Tar and Oil-GOod Results Of OiIing.
The war department and the depart
ment of agriculture are to experiment
with oil and tar on section Of Wash
ingtOn roads. The work will be under
the direction of the road Office of the
department of agriculture, and the
war department will furnish the roads,
says the Washington Star. Both oil
and tar will be tried, and probably
mile of each will be treated. The
stretch used will be either the dusty
war department or part of the Poto-
mac boulevard or both.
The use of oil in road work is new in
Washington, so that the experiments
will be watched with some interest.
But there are other sections where the
use of oiled roads has been kept up for
years, and the practice has spread over
most of California, where the people
are quite enthusiastic over the results
in the past eight or nine years The
work was commenced in 1893 in Cali
fornia, where petroleum is cheap, and
was tried at first in limited way on
stretch of about six miles simply to lay
the dust, which was not only a great
nuisance in the long, rainless sum-

Special Road Tax.

CASTOR county, N. c., has been col

road tax which has been expended in
macadamizing the principal highways.
So satisfactory and profitable has been
the result that the county is to borrow
S3OO000 on 4 per cent bond issue
with which to hasten the Improvement.
The $4,000 yearly tax will pay the in

merS, but injured orchards and fields
for a considerable distance on each
side of the road.
The result of Oiling the roads as soon
as the authorities got the right method
was more than to lay the dust. 1t was
found that not only was the road dust
less, but that the oil became incorpo-
rated with the surface and made a
good binding crust from one to three
inches deep.
The roads stood wear and water we'll,
and after number of severe rain
storms that cut the unoiled macadam
roads to pieces the oiled roads We're
found in as good condition as ever.
The practice in California extended till
now there are about 750 miles of roads
and streets that have been oiled for
from one year upward.
The department of agriculture recent
ly received q preliminary report on
some experimental stretches of an oil
ed and tarred road in Jackson, Tenn.
This road had been treated only seven
months, but the results so far have
been very satisfactory The section
treated with tar formed an almost as
phalt-lfke surface that has stood the
wear we'll so far, has been waterproof
and is said to be pleasant to drive over
and easy on the horses hoofs.
The oiled road in that section has
been almost equally satisfactory. The
same sort of experiments have been
tried to a limited extent in Texas,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and other
states, and the reports have been uni
formly favorable where the work has
been properly done. The road has
to be cleaned and narrowed and well
rolled, and it is best to apply the tar
or oil in hot, dry weather. The road
has to be protected from traffic for
from ten hours to two days till the
in. After that 1t is said to be almost
as satisfactory as paved street
The oil that will be used in the Wash
ingtOn work is a rather heavy oil, with
an asphaltum base. The tar is the
same as is used in ordinary paving.

California is decidedly enthusiastic
over the success Of her oiling work,
which has there passed beyond the ex
perimental stage. Washington will
have the benefit Of her experience, too,
as there were some mistakes made in
the earlier stages Of the work, and the
Oil made a nasty mud that injured
clothes and everything else it touched
1t has been found now that this trouble
does not exist if the road is not used
too soon, and even the damage that it
was feared might result to automobile
tires has proved myth. In fact, it is
said that the tires show a longer life
On the oiled roads than they do where
the rubber is exposed to the sharp cut
ting grit of the old macadam surface.
