ELASTIC ROAOBED
FOR HIGHWAYS

consul General Richard Guenther
quotes the correspondence in Frank
fort paper from Zurich, Switzerland
stating that trials were recently made
there with an elastic road covering in
vented by Street Superintendent Aeb-
erli.
A section of Hohlstreet was covered
with the Aeberli material. Many per-
sons witnessed the trial, among them
representatives of the municipal and
cantonal authorities, who showed great
interest Two steam rollers were en-
ployed TO smooth the road covered with
the new macadam. Trials with a six
horse wagon loaded with ten long
tons gave a satisfactory result after
the macadam had been sufficiently roll
ed. The macadam is prepared of gravel
of a fineness of from thirty to fifty
millimeters (millimeter equals O.0394
inch) in diameter, and is freed of all
earthly matter. This gravel is first
heated in specially constructed ma
chine, and from a revolving drum is
subjected to the action of LIQUID tar.
so that each particle of gravel becomes
covered with a coating of tar.
This tarred gravel is then put I'D in
heaps. covered and allowed to remain
so from eight to ten weeks. 1t is as
serted that during that period fermen-
tation occurs, which causes the tar TO
penetrate into the pores of the gravel
and in this way lessons the formation
of dust. In covering the road with this
material the most painsaking cleanli-
ness must be observed and dry weather
must be awaited. No foreign matter
must become mixed with the macadam.
In rolling it no water must be used
The cost of preparing this macadam
is small forty-four pounds of tar being
sufficient for one cubic meter (2S3S
bushels dry) of gravel; where limestone
is used, flfty-five pounds. The machine
is operated by four laborers and fur
nishes from ten to fifteen cubic meters
per day.

ARE PUZZLED BY
SINKING LANDS

A report has been received in Chi
oago that constantly sinking depres-
sion 1000 feet wide running north and
south through Lake County. Ind, which
already has cost three railway COM
kIsnies thousands of dollars. has begun
y droop worse than ever.
The latest downward movement of
this mysterious sinkhole was observed
early in the week by employees of the
Erie Railroad at the point where that
line crosses the strip. Hundreds of
thousands Of tons Of gravel and earth
have been dumped in the crevice, which
continues for a distance Of twenty feet
on each side OF the track, but the de-
preston is now lower than ever and
the engineering department Of the road
Is banned.
The sinking OF the earth at this point
is an annual event and has occurred
about this time Of the year since the
first railroad line pierced the region
twenty-five years ago. 1t is believed
that some subterranean cataclysm takes
place in December which weakens the
crust and causes II TO sink under the
weight Of the heavy steam traffic. So
serious is the condition that trains are
compelled 10 slow down in passing
over fl.
The Panhandle and Indiana Harbor
railroads also have suffered from this
"bottomless pit" the influence Of which
apparently reaches about fifteen miles
north and south. II was stated by an
official Of the Indiana Harbor line today
that since they have erected a fifteen
foot emballSment across the strip the
tracks have not sunk, although depres-
sions are noticed in the low land sur
rounding for distance OF 1000 feet
The strip begins about eight miles
east OF Lake Michigan, at the termina-
tion Of the watershed and the northern
limits Of a region of low swamp land
The first evidences of unstable soil are
to be seen at spot twelve miles east
