if the man-made plant should become realty
the man-made animal life would follow.
In all seriousness NJ. Leduc believes that his
discovery may serve at least the threshold to
a solution of the great problem.
Most important OF his arguments. In his

STUDY USE OF TAR ON ROADS.
District OBciaIs Go to New Jersey
on investigation Tour.

For the purpose of investigating the
method of treating macadam roads with
tar as a means Of preventing dust and
mud, Engineer Commissioner Morrow, ac-
companied by Capt. Edward Markham.
Assistant Engineer Commissioner; Julian
0. Margrove, inspector OF eements and
asphalts for the District, and R. l.
GrabilI. superintendent of county roads,
left yesterday for Montclair, \. J.. whe-e
experiments Of this Kind have met with
considerable success.
Hot tar. it is said, has been found to be
more efficient as a means of preventing
dust and mud than crude oil The tar is
brought to a boiling point, ana may be
distributed over the road by means of an
ordinary sprinkling cart A thorough in
vestigati0n will be made by the officials
with the view Of the adoption of the pro-
cess in the District.
