BETTER HIGHWAYS.

Statistics recently compiled by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture show that there are nearly
100000 miles of public roads in
this country, only a small percent
age of which are improved. Neces-
sarily it will be many years before
large percentage of this great
mileage will be improved, and in the
meantime it is of the utmost import
ance that we make the best possible
use of facilities at hand. An eXpen-
diture of nearly $S0,000.000 per an
nun is being applied to the mainten-
ance of these roads and it is safe to
say that the loss from the improper
methods is we'll up in the millions
There are certain principles which
underlie the art of road building and
maintenance, and certain methods
known to many engineers and road
builders which are easily understood
ally put into praotie ,,''@
ana as eaSi+. Yak Of tis,eeIce' IN
fortunately, these simple principles
and methods are not universally
known.
Better roads is a question of great
Importance. Good roads would en-
able the farmer to get to market
with his products at any and all
times of the year. and if the roads
were scientifically built, would al
low him to haul enough larger load
on each trip to pay for the improve
ment within a short time. Good
roads are a vital necessity to the
growth of community from any
point of view.
The News is anxious to do its
part towards crystallizing the move
ment inaugurated by the government
for better roads throughout the
length and breadth of the land.

iards settled in Ecuador is indicated
by some recently discovered ruins
made by H. NJ. Sayille. professor of
ethnology at Columbia university.
While Professor Saville declines to
make known at present the exact To-
cation of this remarkable discovery,
he gives his word that it indicates,
from the cooking and household
utensils found, a high form of civil
lization. The baked pottery is most
artistically made, and the construc-
ton of some three thousand houses,
whose ruins were found, bears out
the theory of an advanced ciyiliZa-
ton. These houses, he states, were
evidently built to resist earthquakes,
being broad at the base and of no
great height. As a race he is in
clined to place these people between
the Incas and the Aztecs. So much
has been said and read of the inter-
esting races that preceded the Span
iards in that part of the world that
any new contribution on the subject
cannot lack general interest. The
report of Professor Saville from his
next summers Investigations will be
eagerly awaited by many of whom
the history of these South American
settlements has proved more absorb
ingly important than anything in the
modern record of the same region.

In Communication With Mars.

Tesla, the poet of electrical discov-
cry, with an Imagination SO vivid
that it frequently interprets things
that no other mind can read, says
that he has had flashes from Mars in
response to his own electric mes
sages. Neither science nor faith ac-
cepts his story. But it was Tesla
who first gave the first glimmering of
wireless telegraphy to practice and
whose patents in use draw $4,000
year while he is just dreaming. 1t
is a lovely vision he must have, and
how joyously we would share it if
we only could.-Our Country for

sound was heard from his room, and
this leads to the belief that the end
was peaceful and painless.
