DUST LAYER-Good Roads Co..
of America, Philadelphia, Pa.-This
is material composed of tar, crude
oil and reduced oils. which, mixed
with water, forms solution claimed
to prevent dust when sprinkled up
on streets. The manufacturers claim
that by using about forty gallons per
square yard of solution of 90 per
cent water and 10 per cent of the
material upon macadam and similar
roads, and applying additional guam
titles at intervals vraying from five
to ten days, the dust will be effectu-
ally laid. When used on asphalt
brick, etc, weaker solution is re-
CURED. 1t is claimed that with a
solution of one gallon of this COM
pound and nine gallons of water, bet
ter results will be obtained than
when twenty times as much clear
water is used.

HAVE INSTITUTED
AN A|RSHIP SCHOOL
Germany Has Opened One, With TIL
itiOn at $40 Year-AIoye-
ment Good One.

On May 1, 1907, school was
opened at Chemnitz for theoretical
and practical training in the con-
tsruction and management of airships
The director, Herr Paul Spiegel, is
man of exceptional ability and OF
broad experience in every phase OF
balloon construction and manage
ment. He has made over six hundred
ascents.
The tuition for years course has
been fixed at 5 40, payable in month
ly installments. Examination will be
held at the close of the course, April
80, and certificates of proficiency will
be given the graduates. The training
will be confined almost exclusively
to the field of balloon construction
and operation.
In France there is no actual school
for training aeronauts in which a
definite course is pursued. Accord
ing to the American Magazine of
Aeronautics such practice and in
struction in aerostation as is offered
is provided by the clubs and by the
government in connection with the
military service.
In Paris there are four important
aeronautical societies or ballooning
clubs, and five similar organizations
elsewhere in France. These clubs
were created for the promotion and
practice of ballooning as a sport as
well as for scientific study and eX-
pertinent. In some of these young
men are given practical training,
taught the theory and construction
and use of balloons, their proper care
and navigation.
If the students acquire a certain
proficiency and pass prescribed ex-
animation they are permitted when
drawn for military service to enter
the Battalion d'Aerostiers, estab-
lished in the old geological garden To-
Gated between Versailles and st. Cyr.
The post is under the control of a
commandant and the men are taught
and practice the handling and care
of the government balloons, of which
there are several of a capacity of less
than 900 cubic metres.
The second and more important in
stitution of this kind in France is
known as the Establishment Central
du Materiel de lAerostation Militaire.
at Chalais Meudon, midway between
Paris and Versailles. 1t has been in
existence nearly 100 years, and is
divided into two general departments
the factory where the balloons and
equipment are made and the depart
ment of tests and experiments. There
is no definite course of instruction 1t
was there that Colonel Renard twen-
ty-three years ago built and expert
mented with La France, the first
dirigible balloon.

JAPAN'S TIMBER TRADE.

There is evidence that Japan is
taking an interest in the timber trade
with Australia, and looking for an
opportunity to get some of the bust
ness which has previously been re-
garded as the exclusive property of
the Pacific coast states. The Ameri-
can Lumberman is responsible for
the statement that Norwegian
steamship recently entered the har-
Dor of Sydney, Australia. with a ship
ment of timber from the northern
ports of Japan. 1t was composed of
pine, oak, ash and Eastwood, aggre-
eating nearly 2,25O,000 feet. A ship
ment had been sent to Melbourne
some months ago and was so we'll re-
ceived that this cargo to Sydney was
the result. Another steamer was
loading with 2,250,OOO feet of the
same timber for Sydney. The timber
is imported as logs. squared by the
AK, and is thus free of duty
1t would be interesting to know
what resources In timber Japan has,
either in her own territory or In Ko-
rea. If large quantities can be Geo.
nomically obtained, says Sydney
authority, it will not only interfere
with the trade from North America
in timber but assist materially in de-
veloping Australian exports to China
and Japan. There is no experience
of the quality of the timber here, but
in Melbourne 1t is reported that the
pine will take the place of Baltic tim
Der for building purposes, and that
the other timber is very valuable for
the purposes for which American
oak, ash and Eastwood have hitherto
been used. A company has been
formed for carrying on the industry
Owing to the high price of timber
out of which Australian butter boxes
have been made, experiments have
been made with boxes made from
wood pulp. The experiments show
it to be free from any odor or tain,
likely to affect the butter injuriously
and to be strong. If shipped empty
it would be very bulky cargo, and
the formation of a company in Sgd
ney to manufacture the boxes has
been suggested. should this be done
| it will open up a new market fol

BRITISH TROOPS FIRE ON
THE RIOTERS IN BELFAST

BELFAST, Aug. 14.-British
troops fired on the rioters in the
STREETS here last night, and as a result
the hospitals are overcrowded with
wounded. How many persons were
injured it is impossible at this time
to estimate, but the number must be
very great. The firing followed a
night of rioting, during which the
police and troops charged the mobs
in the streets again and again, only
to be met with showers of paving
stones and other missiles and to be
driven back in confusion. Even bay
onet charges upon the part of the
infantry had no effect upon the
crowds. At midnight, so far as
could be learned, one woman and
one man were dead, but scores were
being conveyed to the hospitals and
their homes suffering from bayonet
saber and bullet wounds. A number
of soldiers are also among the in
jured.
The principal scene of trouble was
around the constabulary barracks in
the Culling Tree road, where a great
crowd of men and women gathered
of the police inspectors.
The police hurried to the scene but
were driven back and the troops
were sent scurrying to the scene.
Their appearance was the signal for
another shower of missiles and sew
eral saddles were emptied None
of the troopers were killed, but
it is said that several were seriously
injured and are in precarious con-
dition.
Finding that the charge of the
troops was of no avail the command
er ordered the riot act to be read.
This was met with jeers upon the
part of the mob followed by an
other shower of missiles. Orders
were then given the troops to fire
and two volleys were poured in in
rapid succession. Many persons were
seen to fall and fully half of the in
iured were carried away by their
| friends to their homes. The rest
were left dying in the streets to be
taken to the hospitals as rapidly as
| conveyances could be found to carry
them.
The volleys seem to have had a
quieting effect for the rioters wholly
dispersed and early this morning the
streets were comparatively deserted
Two dead were found in the streets
one of them a woman. Thus far she
has not been identified.
The wrecked condition of the
streets and houses in the falls and
| Grosvenor districts of this city, tes-
tify to the severity of the rioting last
night. Hardly window or street
lamp remains intact, while doors
have been smashed in by heavy
stones hurled by the strikers at the
advancing cavalry and the street
paving is torn up on all sides, hav-
ing furnished the rioters with mis-
siles.
| The strikers are still ina very ag-
gressive mood. Only the strong
forces of troops on duty prevent
them from attacking the men who
are at work

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-The finan-

yesterday when the announcement
was made that the Pope Manufacture

automobiles and bicycles at Hartford
Conn.,, and Toledo, Ohio, had failed

The failure is one of the largest
in the history of the United States.

BLOW TORCH-Otto Bernz, No.
20 Ashland St, Newark, N. J.,-This
blow torch has an adjustable solder
ing iron holder. The reservoir for
gasoline is made of brass and the
burners are of bronze metal, con-
.structed to produce an intensely hot
flame of a blue color. The torches
are fitted with pump, arranged so
that it can be packed readily to pre-
vent loss of air pressure, and to in
sure the maintenance of a sufficient
pressure on the gasoline to make eff
ficient service positive. The con-
struction of the pump enables it to
be freely operated and avoids the
possibility of arrangement of any of
the parts. The pump is connected
with the torch in such way as to
serve as a handle.

Home Again in Cod. Country.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Nixon re-
turned home last Friday night from
Southern California, where they en-
joyed a sojourn of just two months
to day. Mr.. Nixon has lived so
long in Colorado that he has come
to the conclusion that he will never
be satisfied in any other section of
the western hemisphere. He had
enough of California in two months
to last him for the remainder of his
days, and is glad to be back in God S
country once more. Mr.. Nixon
says that they can't raise anything
in California but oranges, real es-
tate booms and tourists. and that
if it wasn't for the latter the people
of that country would starve to
death. Taken as whole, the year
round, like a circular saw, the eli
mate of Colorado is far superior to
that of California.

M..loeA Say. Thing. Aeou, Cuba.

w. S. Matlock has just returned
from visit to Cuba. and is now in
New Orleans. He expects to leave
that city shortly for Los Angeles.
In letter to C. w. Wonderly he
gives an interesting resume of his
observations in the Cuban hotbed of
revolution, from which we make a
few extracts as follows:
In regard to my visit to Cuba
surely had great time, and found
a very interesting country, though
not exactly as | had pictured it..
From sanitary standpoint. Havana
is in the best shape of any city
have ever had the pleasure of visit
ing. 1t is very clean in every way,
as are all of the towns on the Island.
| suppose l noticed this fact more
for the reason. of having so recently
visited New Orleans, which is with
out doubt the dirtiest place on
earth. You think when you first
arrive in New Orleans that you will
surely have the yellow fever inside
of twenty-four hours, but the health
of the city is very good-a great
deal better than some northern cities
that are kept clean, which is some
thing / cannot understand.
Politically, Cuba is in very bad
shape. and trouble is sure to spring
up there if the United States troops
are withdrawn. They sure are
afraid of the American soldiers.
Every one there wants political po-
sition. and as there are not enough
offices to go around the natives
are always ready and eager to scrap
among themselves. The Spaniards
and the better class of natives
are very anxious to be annexed to
the United States, but the masses
are not. Americans have bought
about two-thirds of the land on the
island since the Spanish war, and
expect it to double in value as soon
as it is annexed to the United States,
which it would surely do. There is
great deal Of speculating in Cuban
land at the present time. That is
about all you hear all same mining
boom. 1t would surely be a great
thing for Cuba to be annexed to the
United States. but very bad ! think
