BURNT CLAY FOR HIGHWAYS.
Good Roads Made From Gumbo In the
State Of Mississippi.

Good Roads Made From Gumbo In the
State Of Mississippi.
Congress some time ago established
ar Office of public roads, which is in
structed to conduct experiments and
devise methods for improving the
roads of the United States. The Office
has done great deal to arouse inter-
est throughout the country in the ne:
cessity of good roads and has origina-
ted several means of making good
roads economically. The latest dis
covery is that of burning clay roads in
Mississippi.
In large areas in the south, particu.
larly in the valleys Of the Mississippi
and its tributaries, sedimentary clays
are found very generally. In these
areas there is little or no sand and
the clays are of particular plastic
and sticky variety. These sticky clays
are locally known as "gumbo" and
"buckshot." In such localities traffic
;s absolutely impossible during the
wet season, as the wheels of heavy ve
hicles will sink to the hub.
The clay is black, owing to the
high percentage Of organic Of vegita-
BILE matter it contains. It is particu-
larly sticky in it's nature and Is almost
wholly free from sand and grit. After
It, has been burned. however, the plas-
ITCHY is destroyed and a light clinker
formed, which, though not particularly
hard. when pulverized forms smooth
surface and seems to wear we'll.

closely. In fact, on large farms and
where blowing has preceded planting
any length Of time or when heavy
rains have intervened between ploM-
ing and planting, It Is quite common
to see the cultivator at work On one
side of field before the planter has
retired from the other. The planter
opens q narrow furrow before the
dropper, and the two indYawing shares
cover the seed, leaving plainly dis
cernfble ridge. 1t is, therefore. even
more feasible TO cultivate . field Inn
mediately after planting and before
the crop is up than little later, when
the plants are all In sight and care Is
necessary to prevent covering them
or breaking of the young plants. The
potatoes are cultivated from three to
five times, according to the season
and rainfall. or the application Of
water, and until the vines 20 cover the

longer practicable to get through

rainfall that may occur, the scientific

where the seed terminated at all. It
was, in fact, for many years the belief
of the best farmers, based on expert
ence, that it also injured potatoes to
frrigate them before they were in
blossom, or. at least until the vines
were Of sufficient size to shade the
earth about the crowns of the hills.
When, however, these farmers be.

growing fields of this wonderful plant,
from one foot 10 18 inches high, prep
aratory to the planting of crop of
potatoes, a change in conditions was
quickly observed. Now, If the winter
has been an unusually dry one, and
virtually all moisture resulting from
the irrigations of the previous season
has been Tapped up by the winds, the
field to be devoted to potatoes can
be irrigated before blowing in; or,
having been. barely able to pillow the
ground without irrigation, II the ex-
pected rains do not follow, the grower
proceeds with planting, and, if neces-
sary, Immediately burrows out the
rows between the easily distinguish.
able lines left by the planter, and
turns in the water. And this opera
ton is almost invariably attended by
success. Furthermore, IL the late
May rains. which can be depended on
five years out of every six, prove in
any instance only Sufficient to sprout
the seed and bring the young plants
above the surface. there is no longer
any hesitation to irrfgate then or at

Irrigation is applied early and late, as
the conditions require, as before

seasons only with the first week In
September, and sometimes even later.
Formerly, and before the construc.

manufactured and could never have

CHAPTER XVIII.

The day for the trial of Aloysius
Brangwyn came at last, and on
bright October morning he stepped
into the dock at the Old Bailey and
bowed to the presiding Judge. The
court was thronged, and amongst the
audience were a hundred ladies of the
highest fashion, artists by the score.
and great gathering of barristers and
Journalists. The prisoner himself was
less the center Of interest than the
case. The Brangwyn mystery, which
had from time to time startled and be.
wi&dered Great Britain, was to be
solved at last.
The action of the crown at the pre-
liminary hearing had prepared every.
body to anticipate merely formal
sentence, and AIoysius was secure IN
the sympathy of every person in the
crowded chamber. He had. indeed,
something Of the martyrs halo about
him, and as he stepped upon the scene
murmur filed the court. He was un.
changed to those who knew him, the
same settled and unalterahle sadness
He was attired in his usual scrupulous
fashion. and looked, as he had always

II came a fortnight later than the
last. He was seated in the studio
smoking his cigar and watching Alexis
at work. He was watching critically
and was eager to be Of use.
"Come here!" he called, suddenly.
II think I can point you to an idea
there. The idea of the naked blade
is good and the fact that it hangs a
little out Of the perpendicular is good,
because it indicates the strenuous hold
upon 1t. But don't you see that II 1t
hung just so much the other way it
would form a perfect foil to that deep
fold in the drapery which it over-ac-
centuates just now? You want d.

"H'm!" said Alexis, standing back to
look. II don't know. There's GER
tain straight simplicity in what I've
got. Take your coat off, old man, and
show me exactly what you mean.
There's a blouse hanging there in the
corner"
Aloysius rose, removed his coat,
turned back the cuffs Of his shirt, and
assumed the characteristic toga of the
modeller in clay.
Il sha'n't damage the skeleton?" he
asked.
ooh, MOI" said Alexis. s'The frame
work is all properly jofnted. It'll stand
the angle you want, any way"
Aloysius set to work. The joint
went rustily, and some Of the clay
broke or slid from the grasping hand,
but he repaired the mischief with dex-
ferrous fingers, and roughly readjusted

had destroyed in altering it's posture.

"About that head now" said Alloy

whilst I'm at it, I'll show you what

Alexis brought the steps and he
mounted them nimbly with lump OF
clay In one hand, which he clapped on
Boadicea's shoulder like an epaulette.

His cousin passed lockwood gouge
TO him and he labored for a minute.
Then, after bit of delicate modelling
ct the eyeiid, he ran down the ladder
and crossed the room, where he laid
q hand on Alexis shoulder.
Aloysius had dropped the lockwood
tool into a pocket of the blouse, and,
feeling for it with intent to set it in
its place, he brought out something
else with 1t. His hand was still upon
his Cousins shoulder, and Alexis felt
him start violently. The eyes OF the
two men fixed on the same object and
they met for one second. Aloysius held
in his hand a small blue phial, Labelled
In red ink, poison. Chloroform.'
Great heaven!" gasped the younger
man, and shrank and covered.
The phial fell from the elders hand
and cracked upon the floor. The chok-
ing. sickly odor of the drug rose
pungently. They looked at each other
once again, Aloysius with a gaze OF
accusation and horror, Alexis with
furtive terror which shrank away.
that glance told all, and they parted
without one further word.
