MANKATOS GOOD ROAD.

Mankato, Mimi. has solved the problem
OF finding q durable pavement at small
expense and one that car be used on steep
grades az readily as on o level surface.
First the driveway was narrowed to
thirty feet. curbed. guttered and boule-
varded. Then 1t was e~xcavated TO the
depth Of SIX inches and surfaced. Five
inches Of dry crushed limestone ono and a
half to two inches In diameter was put on
and rolled down with a ten ton roller.
Boiling tar from the local gas works
was applied until tho entire surface was
covered. Then, says the Cement Age. a
layer Of broken stone an inch to an inoh
and a quarter In diameter, mixed with
coarse gravel, was applied on the surface
in the proportion Of three parts OF stone. TO
one OF gravel. This was FIRST mixed dry
on a platform and then thoroughly mixed
with hot tar and applied on the surface v
inches thick and tamped into place to SON
Dry domestic cement was then applied
to the surface and the street wal again
rolled. Then a poating Of sand was sp-
piled and the roller again used. The pave
ment was allowed to stand for two weeks
before the street was thrown open to navel.
The cost was 70 cents q Hneal foot to the
property owners on each side Of the street,
or rather would have been had the entire
cost been assessed against them. The
ment six inches thick and It Ia. impossible
for the elements 70 attack the surface.
The pavement has now stood two winters
and shows not the slightest wear. 1t gives

CONCRETE JACKETS on LEvEEs
New Method OF River Protection Promises
to BE Successful.

to BE Successful.
A new use for concrete Ia in tho protec-
ton of levees on the lower Mississippi.
The usual way Of protecting these levees
from damage by wave wash 10 by a wooden
revetment. consisting Of planks placed YER
tcally at the. base or toe Of the riverward
They are fastened firmly between two
rails near their top and to one near their
bottom. This makes sort Of tight board
fence from six to nine feet high. 1t 10
braced by ~stringers which arc anchored In
the crown Of the levee.
AS a substitute, writes a United States
engineer in the Mansfdctursrs' Record.
Il was decided to try q concrete jacket ex-
tending from near the top OF the levee to
the toe of the slope INT thence vertically
two feet into the bernie. The curling at
the toe Of the slope was to prevent any
wash taking place which would undermine
the revetment, and also to prevent bnrrow-
ing animals from making holes through the
base Of the levee.
The concrete consisted OF one part Of
cement to Ave parts Of sand and eight parts
Of gravel and was placed four inches thick.
A reinforcement of wire fabric was used
for the purpose OF holding the concrete
toRether In the event that the earthen en-
bankment would shrink away from the
revetment and also to serve as q barrier to
drift bRs and timber that would be likely
Ia, wear down the concrete surface In places
by pounding against It. After this springs
hiph water had besa against. the ooncrete
jacket forty days no weakness or defect
was noticed. 10

HOW INVENTIONS WE'RE STOLENsi
Precautions Taken Before Days Of Patensei
to Preserve Trade Secrets.

From American Industries. n
Before patents were granted for inventions.
the inventor had but one way TO secure q res
turn from his invention. That was to keep 10
secret. +
Secret inventions we're the most valuable
possessions of many families and guilds. But
In proportion to their value, they tempted tho
cupidity OF competitors. The secret Of maxi
ing Venetian glass was greatly priced and was
most jealousy guarded. A Venetian named
Paoli. who possessed the secret. left Venice
and wandered norfhward practising his art.
He was stabbed IN Normandy with q dagger
marked Traitors measure taken to pre-
serve the secret. -
In 1910 the Elsctor Of Saxony learned that q
man named Bottger had discovered the secret
Of making porcelain. He accordingly cop-
fined him in the castle of Albrechtsburg until
the discovery had been perfected. The work.
men were sworn to secrecy. and the draw
bridge was kept up except to admit those
specially authorized. Thus was the manu>
facture Of the famous Dresden ware begun.
The secret was soon carried to Vienna, where
a royal factory was established, and to France.
where It was the foundation Of the manu-
facture Of the famous Sevres pottery.
The stealing of the secret OF making cast
steel" is an interesting example. A watch
ma ker named Huntsman was dissatisfied with
the watch springs the market afforded. and In

more homogeneous. His conception waa
successfully carried out. and a large market
was established for -Huntsman's ingots.'
Large works with tall chimneys were soon
built.
Every effort was made TO keep the secret.
No one was admitted to the works. The
process was divided. and persons working
on each part were kept In ignorance Of other
parts Of the work. One bitter winter night

VII. The London correspondent OF Topn
and Country reports the contents Of q note
from one OF the Kings equerries stating
that ahis Majesty's engagements do not
warrant him in the disposal Of q single
hour before September And the note
was written early In june
According TO the correspondent King
Edward puts In more time at real work
thar the Emperor Of Germany does, for
fully a quarter Of the Emperor's time Is
occupied in his dressing room. The Kim
seldom changes his clothes moro than
three times a day, morning, afternoon and
evening, whereas the Kaiser has become
a veritable Fregoli In the manner OF don-
ming and dofing his costumes.
The first thing in the morning he Is up
In the greenish riding costume Of q Ger
man lager. A hard hours riding brings
him back to his bath. from which he comes
adorned In a plain morning costume made
for business purposes. An. hour or "
peror for something more elaborate. and
II there IL no reception on he appears In
the undress uniform of the Guards.
This carries him until luncheon time,
after which there are some three nunoreu
uniforms to select from. and as the Kaiser
usually has two or three functions OF some
sort to perform he makes use OF his vast
wardrobe regularly and In proper rota-
ton, It is ia the evening that the Kaiser
is less brilliant.
He nakes but q poor show. in evening
drees; In fact as o civilian he is not a sue
oess. His frock coats, according, TO the
discerning editor Of the Tailor and Gutter,
a sartorial expert, hang loosely n ia
a most u~ndistinguished manner, and his
evening dress waistcoats are things only to
be worn by German rentiers and French
mayors. -,
There is only one fortress during all
these years that King Edward has not
been able to capture. and that Is the stern
determination Of public opinion to resist
with all its might the eneroaohment OF
both as King and Prince OF Wales he a
attempted to lead the nation into the
realms Of white hatdom, but this IL the
one thing wherein people will not follow
