Alcohol in Bread.

There has been much discussion
about the quantity of alcohol con-
tanned in ordinary bread as the result
of the Preventative process to which
it Is subjected before baking. Evil
IDENTIFY the quantity is small, says the
Youths Companion. but until recently.
it would appear, chemists have not
succeeded in accurately measuring 1t.
Now, however, 1t is announced that
D. o. Pohl. by an elaborate process
based upon the distillation of the
bread to be tested in Papin digester,
has ascertained that ordinary bread
normally contains .0753 of a gram of
alcohol for every 100 grams of bread,
or little more than seven parts in
10000. It is well to be precise even
in small things.

A radical change in the construction

A radical change in the construction
of sleeping cars is proposed. which
will afford all the room and comfort
of parlor car during the day with
plenty of light, and better ventilation
at night. In this car the berths are
entirely below the floor during the
day, the space being occupied by com
Portable arm chairs which may be
moved about as desired. In making
up berth the chairs are removed
and tray doors are raised which be-
come the partitions between the sec
lions, and the porter by means of a
sprocket raises one or borth berths
into position. The berths lock secure
ly at any desired height The COM
pany intends to make no charge for
an upper berth when it is not oc-
cupied, and in such event only one
berth is raised above the floor, leaving
room unobstructed to the ceiling OF
the car.
The occupant can have his berth
at whatever height he desires, like a
low or high bed, says Railway and
Locomotive Engineering. The new
plan enables the porter to make up or
put away the berths in less time than
by the present system in sleeping
cars. In the day, when the beds are

SAND AND CLAY ROADS.
A Mixture Of Sand Clay, Sand and
Gravel Makes Compact Surface

In the state of Minnesota a road or
deep sand with the road bed channeled
out about six inches deep was treated
with a load of clay spread out the
width Of the wheel track, and about 16
feet in length. The same day an equal
amount of fine gravel was spread over
the clay. or course this was very
thin covering, but after the first heavy
rains the heavy loads. passing over
churned the gravel, clay and the I'M
DERIVING loose sand into soft mush,
which, when it dried out and became
packed, made hard composite OF
these three materials. This rxad has
stood the test of nine years of travel
There were three reasons why this
road was made so cheaply and easily.
First, the grade was level. Second,
the sides of the road bed retained the
materials. Third, the sticky nature of
the clay bound together both the
gravel and the fine sand already there
This road proved to be as good as the
average country dirt road and cost less
than 81 per rod
Last year another road was repaired
by using double the amount of clay.

with half as much gravel. This road
had fair foundation. The result was
one of the finest roads in the country
The cost was about $3.50 per mile. 1t

much repair.
Another very sandy road was re.
paired with load of loose gravel for
every eight feet 1t was a partial fail.
ure as the gravel did not pack we'll
Recently gravel intermixed with black
loan has been placed on this road with
good results, making a hard, durable
surface
OF course, where the grade was
steep more material was used and the
road was made more browning to pre-
vent the water from washing out the
track. A piece of road was tried with
clay alone. The clay was put on rather
heavily so that it could not, by heavy
loads, cut into the sand beneath. The
sequel was after heavy rains an al
most impossible road. To remedy this
the sand at the sides was scraped and
shoveled on the clay, to the depths of
several inches where it. soon became
mixed with the clay, producing a good
surface but not as good as gravel
would have made.
First, from this we infer that a very
small quantity of clay mixed with the
sand of the road will greatly i'm.
prove it.
Second, that it is mistake to put a
heavy coat of clay over sand unless an
abundance of gravel can be procured
to mix with it.
Third, that heavy clay roads at times
having bad mud holes can be improved
by adding two or three inches of sand,
which will soon become mixed with
the clay, making it more friable and
less liable to become muddy and full
of holes.
The gravel was hauled at about an
average distance of 1A miles and the
clay about three-feurths of a mile.
The cost of about four miles re
paired this year and last was nearly
$1,000, or about 1915 per mile.
Where the clay is nearby and the
| gravel at a considerable distance, most
of the material may be clay, but If the
conditions are reversed, gravel should
be the principal material, using enough
clay to bind the materials in a hard
solid mass.

CHAPTER Ky.

1t is a sad necessity that compels us
to pry into the weaknesses of our fellow
creatures, and see to turn them to our
own profit. l am not philosopher enough
to say whether this course of conduct
derives any justification from it's univer-
salty, but in the region of practice have
never hesitated to place myself on a
moral level with those with whom l had
to deal. I felt, therefore, very little
scruple in making use of the one weak
spot discoverable in the defence of our
redoubtable opponent, his excellency, the
President of Aureataland.
The President had no cause to suspect
trap; therefore, like a sensible man,
he chose to spend the evening with the
Signorina rather than with his gallant
officers 1t appears that at a few min
utes past eleven o'clock, when the Presi-
dent was peacefully listening to the con-
yersation of his fair guest (whom he had
Galvanized into an affected liveliness by
alarming remarks on her apparent pre-
occupation), there fell upon his ear the
sound of q loud knocking at the door.
Dinner had been served, and the Presi-
dent could not command view of the
knocker without going out on to the We
randa, which ran all round the house,
and walking round to the front. When
the knock was heard, the Signorina start
ed up.
Don't disturb yourself, pray" said his
excelency politely. Il gave special in
structions that l was visible to no one
this evening. But l was wondering wheth-
er it could be Johnny Carr. l want to

AS he spoke tap was heard at the
door,
"Yes?" said the President.
"Mr Carr is at the door and partlcu-
larry wants to see your eXcellency. An
urgent matter, he says.
Tell him III come round and speak to
him from the veranda,' replied the Presi-
dent.
He turned to the window, and threw it
omen to step out. Let me tell what fol
lowed in the Signorina's words.
Just then we heard a sound of num-
Der of horses galloping up. The Presi-
dent stopped, and said:
.'Hullo what's up?
.-Then there was q shout and Il volley
Of shots, and I heard the Coloners voice
cry:
Down with your arms; down, | say.
or you're dead men.
