BEST OIL FOR ROADS.
Results of a Test in Kansas--0ils Must
Contain hSphaltum

\ recent test of oils for road making
IN Kansas showed that the reslduum
from the refinery was superior 10 any Of
the crude oils, one gallon Of the resduum
being equal to two to four Of crude OIL.
In order to determine the value Of
this material for road making, says
Country Life in America, road bed
was prepared in sandy soil. After grad
ing it was plOughed four and a half
inches deep and narrowed.
4 harrow preceded and followed each
application of the residuun, which was
repeated until one gallon had been APP
piled to each square yard. The surface
was then smOothed and rolled.
After considerable use the surface of
the road became dusty and another APP
plicatiOn was made Prof. Dickens re-
ports that the road is perfectly satisfac-
tory, being firm hut not hard.
Another stretch of road treated in the
same way sustained loads weighing three
tons and more during wet weather with
out being damaged. Not even a break
in the surface crust occurred. Oils CON
tanning less than 30 per cent. Of asphalt
nm are not fit for road purposes. 4

the pest practically disappeared in some
of the worst-infected districts. This in

Mexico within recent years. The IN

The Fire Rrlnaer.

King Edward once said that he
spent the most exciting and nervous
moment of his life on a prairie in
Canada when he visited that country
as a youth He was in no danger Of
being scalped by red Indian, or eat
en- by wolves, or gored by a madden
ed bison His anxiety and nervous
ness were simply due to his efforts
to light a match. The Prince and his
party were miles away from human
habitations; they wanted to smoke,
and had only one match between
them. Lots were cast as to who
should strike it. The lot fell on the
Prince, and with great difficulty he
managed to get the light which was to
supply them with fire till their return
to civilization.-Tit- Bits.

NItro.alxoerIne and Dynamic.


Nitro-glycerlne Is made by spray
ang ordinary glycerine into a mixture
composed of one part Of nitric acid
and two parts of sulphuric acid. A
scum slowly forms on the surface Of
Ahe fluid. This is carefully skinned
of and washed thoroughly to remove
all free acid. The innocent and harm
less glycerine has then developed eX-
Dlosive properties OF a fearful nature.
Dynamite is prepared by soaking a
peculiar variety Of. earth with nitro
glycerlne. The first man to devise
she present mode Of utilizing nitro
glycerlno was a Swedish engineer
named Nobel. He made millions Of
dollars out Of the business of manutac-
turing dynamite and allied substances.
Gan cotton is nothing but ordinary
cotton soaked in the same acids as
