HIGHWAYS OF STEEL
HOW THEY ARE CONSTRUCTED AND
THEIR ADVANTAGES.

Cost of Hauling and Force Required
Much Less--HsuisEe Equally Easy
In Summer. spring and Winter.
Tracks Must he Thoroughly Laid.
The modern American steel road Is
not so much road of steel as 1t Is an
improved railway track adapted to the
use OF ordinary trucks, says George II.
Walsh in Gunton's Magazine. Twelve
inch plates of steel one-quarter of an
inch thick are laid down on bed of
broken stone OF vitri6ed clay at the
standard gauge of four and half feet.
The rails have fiaring sides, with down
ward fanges, which fiji evenly with
the surrounding surface of stone pave
mcnt. This latter is raised slightly
over the level of the steel plates. so
that by means of the sloping guides
the wheels of vehicles are conducted
naturally TO the steel surface below.
The plates are strongly spliced by Il
channel piece closely fitting under
meath the joint in order to form Il con-
tinuous rail of uniform bearing. The
steel tracks thus formed accommodate
the widest wheels of the heaviest
trucks and give to them far less resist
ance than the ordinary car tracks. The
latter are generally too narrow for
truck tires, and the constant friction
against the sides partly neutralizes the
gain obtained in other ways.
The relative cost of putting down
steel roads either for the city or coun-
try is one that naturally calls for care
full consideration. The amount of met
al for q mile of steel tracks would APP
proximate seventy-five to hundred
tons, including the steel spllces and
bolts. With steel at SIS to $50 per ton,
the price for which it has sold in the
last few years, the cost of the material
for mile of steel road either FOR the
city or country would run from $500
to $1,000 This does not represent the
labor and cost of laying the tracks nor
of fixing the adjacent part of the road.
In the country districts. where the
steel roads would he subjected to much
lighter use than in the cities, the rails
could he narrower, and the road out
side of the line of rails could be left
unfinished. This would enable drivers
of vehicles to use the steel tracks con-

Tho Girl. Of c.ddo.

Caddo has some real live girls. A
tenderfoot struck this town and pro-
ceeded to accumulate an overstocked
cargo of gayety. He selected for his
subjects couple of girls with quite
as fervid an appreciation of fun as
he had himself. Stimulating anger
because of his advances, they took
after him and chased him across
back lots, through a Mexican's ta-
male patch, and the last seen of him
he jumped over a wagon yard fence
and fell. He arose, and when he
faced his pursuers. he fell on his
knees, and his prayer was: "Stop!
Stop! You don't intend to kill me,
do you?" The man still lives, and
the girls wear smile that won't
come of.-South McAlester q. T.)

HalIam's Portrait.

Of recently published portrait
of Arthur Hallam, immortalized by
Tennyson's 'In Memoriam," a
writer says: "It dates from the pre-
Photographic days, of course, but it
does now show signs Of the fattery
SO common in portraits of that time.
The face that bore those azure
orbits heavenly wise,' those ethereal
eyes, is pictured as rather gloomy,
rather lowering, that of a somewhat
heavy youth. This head was Ten
nyson's hostage to heaven through
out the stress Of philosophic doubt
and was so half a century later,
when the aged poet died in the faith
that his boy friend was mot dead,
but alive"
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1906-01-25

"Well, it's not an uGe. Now. don't get
vexed With me. What they asked you
to write was an ode. Here Is volume
OF poetry with nifty different odes in 1t,
and you can see how they GO"
Mr. Rowser would have been rather
glad of II row just then, as he was be
ginning to doubt his poetic talents, but
as Mrs. Bowscr gave him no excuse he
retired to the library and set his jaw
or four ef the odes lie thought he saw
how the old thing worked and made
the following grab for il:
OF Athens greatness there was ne'er a
doubt;
The fame of Greece the whole world ack-
Knowledged. For song, for story, for the
sculp-
Tors art. for philosophy and eruditlon
And for several
Other things Greece was ut the top of the
heap.

who smiled to
Himself.

"Well?" asked Mrs. Bowser las he
came out to her with flashing eyes and
flushed face.
He read his effusion and laid 1t be-
fore her. She wanted to laugh and to
cry; she wanted to criticise and en-
courage. While she was wondering
what she should do. Mr.. Bowser picked
UP the paper and started down the
hall.
Are you going out, dear?" she asked.
MADAM, l am going outr' he replied
in icy tones.
He put on his hat and overcoat and
passed out into the night, and five
minutes later he entered the store of
his family druggist
"Hello, Bowser. What's up?" was
asked of him.
You know an ode when you see one,
don't you?'
II rather reckon"
"Well, read this. / want to know
whether It's an ode or a Jingle and
whether it's all rot or mighty good
thing"
"I'll put you up something" said
the druggist after reading the lines.
"What forg"
"For that tired feeling. Take a ta-
blespoonful in water three times
day"
Mr. Bowser went white to the lips
as he backed out of the store. For
moment he thought of smashing the
windows and applying the torch and
numbering the druggist, but fortunate
ly for him two men with arms locked
came around the corner singing that
they were jolly good fellows. Next
moment the poet was upon them and
among them and all over them, and
the sky of night was rent with awful
sounds of conflict. NJ. QUAD.

his eyes. and ut the dinner table he
poured vinegar instead OF milk into
his tea and did not seem to notice the
difference. She had no explanations to

The Oldest sub.orib.r.

There is controversy on among
the readers of the New York Herald
as to who is the oldest subscriber.
The honor appears to belong to
Nicholas Quackenbos of Chicago,
who has read every issue since 1910,
His father, DR.. Quackenbos, was
then subscriber, and the boy de-
voured the tiny sheet every day
when it came from the basement
print shop in Ann street. He be-
came a subscriber himself in 1874,
and the other day he sent his sixty
first successive annual subscription
to the Herald Office. Mr.. Quacken--
bos is eighty-one years old.

Lighting London,

1t is not now for the first time
that London's council is proposing
to take over the responsibility OF
lighting its streets and houses. In
1915 the old common council,
thought itself most public spirited
in passing an act by which "all
housekeepers whose house, door OF
gateway fronts or lies next to any
street, lane or public passage or
place Of the said city, shall in every
dark night-that is, every night be-
tween the second night after each
full moon and the seventh night
after each new moon-set or hang
out one or more lights, with suffi-
cient cotton wicks, on penalty of a
shilling"

Ruhbly Creek.

Chicago has a noble, if somewhat
odorous, waterway called Bubbly
creek. The stockyards discharge

local paper:
"That this historic section of the
city's commercial waterway can bub-
BILE, and does bubble, and that it
can exude smells compared to which
a rendering plant is as fragrant
morn in budding June, and does so
exude, has long been matter of los

be converted into kinetic heat ener-
gy by the mere application of a

Health Bulletin to disclose"
1t is now proposed to set the river

4Fat" Years In the South.

The south is entering upon her
third ''fat'' year. Five more like
the two just passed will place the
south in position to withstand a
long siege of clean" years, although
there are no reasons for apprehen-
sion. But in these fat years should
we not make provision for necessi-
ties to great progress and enlighten-
ment? More and better school
houses, more and better teachers and
opportunity to every child to learn
to read and write, insistence that
every child shall learn to read and
write-insist upon these things
now, and In the future the south
will gather more in the "fat" years
and lose less in the "iean" years.
