Oil in Making Roads.

The use of oil in road making was
tried with some success in experiments
nj Jackson, Tenn. The best results
were obtained with heavy. natural oils,
which were applied while hot, being
heated on the cart by steam, using
about one-third gallon per square yard.
Tho road material and the oil formed
mixture something like concrete,
which produced little dust, and proved
quite desirable also reducing the noise
OF traffic. Tho coating is about one,
eighth thick. The experiments, being
very recent, are not yet regarded as
complete With regard to the lasting
effects of the oil.

MAKING OVER A MOUNTAIN.
Helena Objects to Great Big Bald
Hill-Will Make Park on II.

Hill-Will Make Park on IL.
The strangest and most interest
ing park project ever undertaken in
this country is to be found at Helena.
Mon, writes John II. Raftery in the
Technical World Magazine for .July.
where the citizens are engaged in
transforming the bald slopes of
conical mountain which towers nearly
400 feet above the city into a for
est park.
There is no spring. well, brook or
pond upon the bare sides or rocky
SUBMITS of this singular park; nor
VIII 1t be possible to raise water from
the valley for the irrigation of the
trees. shrubs and flowers, yet the ex-
pert foresters of the Federal bureau
who spent last summer planning for
the planting of the park are agreed
that several varieties of evergreen
will flourish there without water or
attendance.
A spiral footpath has been graded
from the city to the summit of Mount
Helena, and there an ornate pavilion
has been erected upon the highest
point of rock, 400 feet above the
main street. In the cliffs of the peak
there are two spacious natural caves,
which will be tenanted by specimens
of the native bears, lions and other
carnivora of these mountains.
Parks enclosing herds of deer, an
telope. moose, elk and buffalo will
be added as the present limits of the
tract are extended upon the desert
lands which lie back of the mountain.

WHOLE FAMILY AT scHoooS-
Kansas State Senator and His Wife
Taking University Course.

Kansas State Senator and His Wife
Taking University Course.
When the University of Kansas
closed its doors for the summer va
cation this week all the members
OF the family of State Senator c. I.
Martin, of Fort Scott, including Mr..
Martin himself, were freed from
their books. It is somewhat unusual
for a man of middle age to go to
school, but 1t is more so for a man
to go and take his family with him,
and this is what Senator Martin did.
Senator Martin is a junior in the
law department of the university,
and his wife is also a student in the
law department. Their only child,
Miss Lillian Martin, attends public
school in Lawrence.
Before becoming a student in the
university, Mr.. Martin was o farm
hand, a country school teacher,
Major in the army of the Philip
pines, clerk of the district court of
Bourbon County and is at present
State Senator from that county. De-
Gliding that a knowledge of the law
would be of benefit to him, he came
to Lawrence and entered the uni
versity, and his fellow students
quickly made him president of the
class. He was also president of the
Republican club of the university.
Senator Martin found time, in ad-
dition to all his other duties, to take
an active part in every phase of col
lege life and enters into the spirit of
the university with as much zeal as
the youngest freshman.
When Mrs. Martin came to Law
renee with her husband she had no
intention of entering school, but the
sight of so many others at their
books determined her to study also.
She is a graduate of the State Nor
NAL School in Fort Scott and taught
school for several years before her
marriage correspondence

Public Roads in Alabama.

In 1901 there were 50,0S0 miles Of
public road in the State of Alabama.
or this mileage, 126l.5 miles were
surfaced with gravel. 1928 miles with
stone fifty miles with shells, twelve
miles with sandclay mixtures, and four
miles with ebert and Stag, making in
all 1920 miles of improved road. Ii
will be seen from these figures that 3.4
per cent OF the roads has been i'm
proved. by comparing the total road
mileage with the area Of the State, 1t
appears that there was 0,0I Of mile

The Lights of London in A. d. 1908

u
The decision to use gas in prefer
ence to the electric arc for the arti-
fetal lighting of the new station q
Victoria marks another stage in tho
duel between the two illuminants.
Few of us, perhaps, realize how lonG
that duel has been in progress. i.
is nearly fifty years since the arc
light was used in the building OF
Westminster Bridge; it is nearly thir-
ty years since it first illuminated
Waterloo Bridge, portion of the
Embankment and the entrance of the
Gaiety Theatre. Since those early
days it has passed through many
stages of improvement, but at each
of them it has been met by corre-
spending improvement in gas light
ing, and 1t has had a hard struggle
to keep a place in London streets.
Apparently even the rosy glow OF
the flaming" arcs .ails to illuminate
the atmosphere of darkest London as
successfully as pressure gas; and it
is more expensive.
But If electricity cannot hold its
own in the lighting of large open
spaces in London, there is a steadily
widening field for it indoors. The
time is near at hand when, with the
cheapening of the production of
electricity and the discovery of a
more economical tilament for the in
candescent lamp, the use of gas will
be confined to the kitchen and the
street.-London Daily Graphic.

PLAYING tiOOkrY.

And to-day a robin twittered
Through the window, and my Uttered
Desk became the ink-bespattered one my
schooldays used to know,
When the voice of spring was crying
And some voice in me replying
To its every note and echo-and some
yearning bade me go.
But stern duty fetters
Me to these unanswered letters
While through half-opened shutters sweet
the wild birds cry and call,
And Pm wishing, wishing, wishing,
| might steal off somewhere, fishing,
Lock up every care and worry-just play
hockey from it all

How. to Train Your Dog.

In managing your dogs there will
not perhaps be much fun unless you
can follow your individual notions
on what constitutes enjoyment. There
is not perhaps a single thrill in twist
ing your soul to carry out processes
which rasp against the grain.
However, 1 am not your parish
priest, but a dog man. Whatever
your imagination may invent, a dog
is still dog, and has none of the at
tributes which we assign to your
selves when we feel mushy. A dog
understands yes" and is equally
competent to grasp the mo" Out
side of that, he is all dog and follows
his dog ways. He INDUCES In no
mental refinement and will not COM
prehend many of your changes of
mood or mind. Whatever you un-
dertake to teach, make it plain, SIM
pie and Interchangeable. It is a pity
that he must be taught not to jump
up on people and compliment them
with his caresses. He means well,
but must be disciplined sternly into
knowing that 1t Is not good form
under any circumstances. The dis
cipline need not be accompanied by
any severity. A light touch with a
whip, if applied invariably, will soon
settle the matter. Some kennel-men
adopt the plan of stepping lightly
on the hind foot, and it is perha7s
the clearest way of conveying tie
idea. a.-Joseph A. Graham, in Star
ing an Exhibition Kennel" in The
Outing Magazine.
