A new roadbcd material is being ex
perilnented with in Europe which IS
economical, easily applied and very
durable. 1t consists of Il mixture OF
liquid tar and fine gravel. The gravel
is first beaten in revolving drum and
then the tar Is allowed to mix with it
in the revolving chamber. After this

for several weeks, during which time
Il fermentation Is said to take place
and the tar is said to penetrate into
the pores of the gravel very thorough

Power Of Eallinr Water.

1t is perfectly well known to every
one that water constantly dropping
upon stone will wear it away. and
there IS Il trte Old proverb regarding
this fact. The force of a single drop of
water falling from Il height IS not
great, but the results of this tiny blow
when it is many times repeated are
astounding. There IS a story Of one
poor wretch who was bound with his
back to Il stone wall and had a stream
of water "of the bigness Of a mans
finger directed on TO his bare head,
the water falling from height of
about eighteen feet. The receptacle
from which this apparently harmless
stream trickled was barrel holding
only twenty gallons. but before the
water had more than half run out the
man was dead, with q hole in his skull
which exposed the brain.-Popular Me

Interesting facts as to the cost OF

of Yorkshire, England, are sent by
Consul Walter G. Ilamm of Hull. The
roads were we'll constructed originally
and are we'll cared for now. 1t is Il

all of them are macadamiZed, well

America There are about LOO mile
Of road in the county, and the cost OF
the roads has increased from S131,OOu

per mile from $G54 to $500 in the same
period. There is a constant tendency
to increase in the cost of maintenance.

for by the construction of footpath.

THE big celebration is OH in good
shape. No accidents of any kind
married the pleasure of anyone, so
far as we have learned up to mid
night of the Fourth, when the St.
Louis brewery Oh Fifth street was
destroyed by fire. The parade and
floats on the Fourth were all that
could be expected under the cir
curlstances and each were good
and thoroughly appreciated by the
immense throng who had gathered
in Our fair city to witness the sights
and participate i'll the grand three
days celebration. Neither time
nor space will permit us to special
ize in this matter, suffice to say up
to the hour of going to press, Fri

people will again join in the fes-

Nothing is more neglected than the
removal of worn material from IN"
road. 1t seems to be regarded merely
as Il clearing Of the surface from mud
and as such an unnecessary expense
while in reality this worn material at
fects the entire composition OF the road
covering. Consequently, unless the
mud is washed away by nature from
the surface Scrapmg or sweeping Is
necessary to preserve the proper pro-
portion of solid stone in til" road.
When road is broken or cut into
by excessive weights, it is no longer n
mere matter of replacing wear, but OF
expensive repair, and in many cases
of entire rebuilding.

with tar is thoroughly appreciated in
birmingham. England. The road is
first thoroughly cleaned 10y dry sweep.

over it and spread evenly, after which
sand is thrown on, and the road is i'm

ed over again and again until The pores
