TO PREPARE A ROAD FOR OIL.
New Machine That Was Suggested by
the Action of Goat Feet.

A new and curious kind of roller, or
rolling tamper," has been devised for
use with type of road invented and
used in California, says the Kansas
City Times. This road has been call
ed, from the place where it originated,
Santa Monica system" and is little
more than an oiled road in which the
oil is caused to penetrate deeply in
stead of being merely spread over the
top. The top soil is loosened to
depth of several inches, so that the
oil, when applied, may penetrate for
quite distance below the surface.
The earth thus oiled is then rolled and
thoroughly compacted and practically
forms an inferior kind of asphalt
paving
From the circumference of a large
roller project a considerable number
of tamping points, and the effect of
this is to compact the soil from the
bottom upward, these points sinking in
to the depth of the loosened earth and
rising nearer and nearer become COM
pletely compacted and the points
sink but little distance into the sur
face or the roadway. In using this
method of road construction the earth
is plowed to a depth of about six in
ches and is properly surfaced with a
road machine, the clods or Jumps hav-
ing first been broken up with harrow
or similar machine. Asphaltic oil is
then sprinkled over the roadway, the
endeavor being to give about one gal
lon of oil to each square yard, and the
Oil and earth are then thoroughly mix
ed by cultivator, after which the
roller tamping begins. This process
of oiling and tamping is repeated
| three times, until each square yard
has received about three gallons of oil,
when the surface is smoothed down
by the use of an ordinary roller.
In the construction of reservoir en-
| bankments in India the British engin-
GERS substituted for the roller, which
is commonly employed in England as
well as in this country, fiocks of goats,
! which were driven continuously back
and forth across the earth as 1t was
placed in thin layers by workmen, who
brought it there in baskets; and it is
probable that the compacting effected
by the small hoofs of the goats is more
| thoroughly than that which would re-
suit from grooved roller. 1t is said
that the idea of the rolling tamper was
suggested by seeing the effect upon
I the soil of the passing of a herd of
/ sheep, and it would appear as though
the effect of the two might he very
similar. 1t is we'll known that an or
binary fiat roller will not give nearly
as solid an embankment as will a
grooved roller.

CREW BEsET BY KIDDERLAK.
Peculiar Poisonous Bug Frightened
Whole Ships Crew.

New York-The crew of the Ger
man steamship Wartenfels, which has
arrived from Calcutta, had a thrilling
experience during the voyage with a
poisonous insect, known as a kidder-
lax, of the family of centipedes. For
more than 20 days the sailors and
later the officers lodged the much
dreaded pest, It's bite is said to be
almost certain death.
The insect was first discovered by a
Lascar fireman, to whose race it is
particularly inimical First officer
Frevichs and Capt Schmidt had at
first laughed at the story of the pres
ence of the kidderlak
While Capt. Schmidt's steward was
leaving the saloon for the pantry with
dishes a week later, he heard a crash
behind him and beheld the potatoes
he had just brought to the table. on
the floor, together with fragments of
the dish On the other side of the
room stood Capt. Schmidt, pointing
speechlessly to a corner Of the cell
ing. There, clinging close to the
wall, was the kidderlak, ready to
make a jump for the table
Second Officer Ruse walked in lust
then and with a blow from a poker
laid the kidderlak out so dead that
the insect had not even a chance to
make one of the peculiar noises from
which it derives it's name

spoRTsmEN LOSE A PARADISE.
Not Allowed to Bring Game From
Mexico Across the Border.

San Antonio. Tex-Mexico as a
sp0rtsmans paradise is a thing of the
mast for the hunters from the United
States. This is due to the strict en-
forcement by the United States Gus
toms authorities of the provisions of
the Lacy bird law, which makes per
sons having possession of game
brought from another state or terri
tory amenabIe to the laws of the state
IN which they are found, regardless of
the fact that the game comes from
without the state.
For years northern Mexico has been
growing in popularity among the
spOTtsmen from the States, owing TO
the abundance of game to be found in
the republic and to the increasing re
strictons Of the Texas game laws I'm
til now Texas hunters have been al
lowed TO return from Mexico with any
quantity OF game killed in the latter
country and no questions were asked.
Customs officers along the Rio
Grande have received strict instruc-
tons as to the enforcement of the
Lacy law and all along the border now
the hunters are discouraged and un-
easy, for many men have made their
living by killing game in Mexico and
shipping the same TO the northern
markets.

Mr.. Pratt hired the man, Henry
Jones by name, to do general work
about the farm and help him out dur
ing the maple sugar season. He
knew that Jones had been employed
during haying last summer by a
neighbor and had given satisfaction,
so he didn't go into particulars.
When it came time to prepare
spiles, or taps, for the maple trees,
Jones appeared a bit rusty as to their
manufacture, but after watching the
boss for a few minutes he proved a
master hand at whiting them. The
farmer delegated Jones to tap the
trees.
Everything went well until the first
run was boiled. The sap seemed ex-
ceptiOnally sweet, but when it had
been boiled down the syrup tasted
bitter and he and Jones were
nauseated.
you are sure you didn't tap any
thing but maples?" inquired Mr.. Pratt.
"Why, there amt nuthin' else in the
orchard, is there?" asked Jones.

Tennessee was a major general in the
Confederate army and never quite rec
onciled himself to the defeat of the
south. Soon after he came to the sen
ate he formulated a set of rules which
he called "Rules for my proper legis-

ton came up about which he was un-
decided he would take the printed slip
containing these rules from his pocket
and study it carefully:
Bate said colleague one day,
''what is that slip of paper to which

That" said Senator Bate, is little
reminder of my belief on constitutional
questions"
"Where did you get it? Think it out
yourself?'
"No, suh," replied Bate, with much
dignity; Il found most of those immor-
tai truths in the constitution of the
Confederate States of America. Sat
