The Asphalt wonder of the world.

Every one has seen asphalt in
one or another of its uses, but gen.
orally in pavements of the large cities.
How few of us know where it comes
from or how it is handled from its
crude state until it is laid down for
people to drive over. There are two
classes of asphalt; one a natural pro-
duct and the other a substitute in
vented and manufactured by man. 1t
is about the former that we are going
to talk.
The standard asphalt of the world
comes from a pitch lake in Trinidad,
British West Indies, and is described
by Charles Kingsley as one of the
wonders of the world. From this lake
is secured some of the finest asphalt
ever in existence TIL deposit occupies
a bowl-shaped depression, thought to
have been the center of volcano now
extinct. The area covered is about ia
acres and the lake is nearly circular
in outline and a little less than a half
a mile in diameter. The center of the
lake is about three-quarters of a mile
from the shores of Gulf of Paria and
about 1876 feet above the level of the
sea- Except in spots in the center,
the surface is hard enough to bear the
weight of carts and mules. 1t is neees-
sary for one to keep moving when on
the surface, otherwise he soon SINKS

some of their good points. A few, well
cared for, will pay we'll; to try to keep
more than we can conveniently care for
means loss. Present prices, both for
fancy and market stock, rule high. No
better time coming to invest in pure
bred poultry. A flock of common
mixed scrubs will supply the family
with groceries; half the number of pure
breds will supply the groceries and
many of the luxuries. Then, too, If
you are interested in some one variety
YOU subscribe for journals, thereby
getting better acquainted with how
others succeed. Poultry work is an
interesting and pleasant field of work.
To hatch the downy little chickens that
are so cute and watch them grow into
those nice, big birds we see at the
poultry shows. and then to see the blue
ribbon on their coop is reward for days
of care and watchfulness on our part.
What others have done you can do.
Early fall prices are lowest, then room
cheap, and 2-year-old stock is best to
breed from. There is no bettep mating
than when one side Of the yard is two
years old. Eggs from matured hens
hatch as we'll and stronger chickens;
from some of these our strongest col
ored birds are Matched Take good care
of the poultry and they will take care
of you is very true maxim. Poultry
is a pleasant and profitable work.

in the material, which, under the rays
of the sun, becomes quite soft.
Annually there is taken out about
900 tons of asphalt without max
ing any noticeable difference in the
quantity that remains. When some is
dug from any portion of the deposit the
hole becomes filled up in a few days
by new material coming from subter-
ranean asphalt springs, as ineXhaust-
ible as the water springs that feed the
Great Lakes of the United States. Bor-
ings have been made to the depth OF
several hundred feet in an effort to
find the bottom of the lake, but with
out result. It has been impossible 20
go deeper on account of the constant
motion of the deposit
The composition of the asphalt in
this lake is of remarkable uniformity,
no matter from what section of the
lake it is taken. The asphalt is in con-
slant motion On the surface of the
lake there are seven or eight islands,
from so to $50 feet in diameter, and
these bear vegetation, with trees thirty
or forty feet high and having a dense
underground. These islands are con-
stantly changing their position,
although their motion is almost i'm
perceptible.
In digging the asphalt picks of mat
tocks are used. 1t is not sticky like
refined asphalt, owing to the quantity
of water it contains. This water is en-
tirely removed in the process of re-
fining. The crude asphalt is loaded
into cars and transferred to ships over
a pier 375 feet long. This particular
asphalt is recognized by all experts as
being a very uniform and one of the
very best asphaltic products ever dis
covered. 1t is very stable, being par
ticularly unaffected by the elements,
and when specially treated and COM
bined with other natural asphalts, is
the toughest, most viscous and long
lived asphalt known. The drying out
process of the air does not affect it.
In the accompanying engraving is
shown a portion of the asphalt lake
described above. with some of the
water shown in light The vegetation
that is visible grown on the floating
islands in the asphalt lake.

Fresh eggs nice chickens for the table.
Fried chicken is good enough for any
one Roasted chickens are great.
The practice of stabling cows con-
tinually during the winter season may
bring more milk, as many dalrymen
claim, but it is not conducive to gooo
health. 1t is true, the COWS seem TO
enjoy sitting by the fire, but we feel
better when we hustle around out OF
doors a part of each day. Cows are
not so different from ourselves in this
respect The farmer who succeeds with
all kinds of stock knows that the well
fare of the animals, as we'll as their
progeny, depends a good deal upon their
getting a reasonable amount of exer-
else.

RESIGNATION ENTIRELY

ton to His Other Duties,

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire
Kansas city Jan. 24.-Theodore p.
Shonts, who yesterday resigned the
chairmanship of the isthmian canal
commission, was the guest of honor
here this evening at the monthly din.
ner Of the Knife and Fork club OF
Kansas City In an Illustrated ad-
dress, he gave a record of the work
done TO date on the Panama canal
The creative period" declared Mr.
Shonts, has come to an end. and the
period Of active construction has be-
gun. As TO the manner in which the
creative task has been performed we
are content to let the facts speak for
themselves"
In closing Mr. Shonts quoted as fol-
lows from President Roosevelt's mes
sage written after the chief executive
returned from The isthmus.
The wisdom Of the canal manage
ment has been shown i'm nothing more
clearly than in the way in which the
foundations have been laid
Mr Shonts. who arrived i'm Kansas
City this morning had earlier i'm the
day denied that his resignation of the
chairmanShip had resulted from any
disagreement with President Roose-
welt or any member Of the commits
sion, and declared that the best OF
relations existed between himself and
an his canal associates
Said Mr. ShOuts; 'I have done eX-
actly what I said ] should do-organ-
ize the isthmian canal commission.
There was no frictiou-not bit OF
friction"
Referring to the talk that he had
resigned for q position which meant
more money Mr Shonts said with
much show Of sDirit;
"\ow. why should men say such
things / should not have resigned at
all if the president had not consented
in advance. The president realized
that tho opportunity was exceptional
and that I might do much for New
York people in assuming charge Of
The Interborough railway. You may
say that this is one government job
that Is resigned with every possible
feeling Of courtesy and good will from
