Decay OF Building Stones.

The causes of decay in building
stones are various, and depend on
the physical structure of the stone,
its composition. and the nature of
the surrounding atmosphere. The
most destructive agent to which the
stone is exposed is rain or moist
atmosphere. and also, in minor
degree. wind, frost, and smoke. The
cir of large towns is usually charged
with various deleterious acids; these
acids are dissolved by the rain, which
penetrates the stone in a greater or
less degree. according to its physical
structure, and combines with the con-
stituents of the stone. causing it to
decay, SO that any continuance that
will check the admission of water
will be most likely to succeed in ar

A Great State Read.

In his address before the Pannsyl-
vania Ear Association Governor Stu
art led up TO eulogy of the plan to
construct a great highway across this
State from emo to end. This project
has been frequently discussed during
recent years, but never with a better
grasp of the principle involved than
by Governor Stuart. First, there
should be the great trunk line from
Pittsburg to Philadelphia, Offering its
accommodation alike to the farmer
On mis- way to market and to the tour
list seeking pleasure amid the pic
turesque scenes OF the Keystone
State. Next, there should be lateral
branches, making this great highway
accessible from all sections of the
Commonw ealth.
This is project on which the State
of Pennsylvania may well expend
sums for the benefit OF its people. 1t
Is rich State and great-in all
things save its public roads. For
reasons clearly set forth by Governor
OIudIL TCuHSylfoAld has AUI ouSh

never too late to mend. The great
road is by no means to be considered
an end. 1t is only q means-a prac-
tical example to encourage counties
and townships to build and maintain
good public highways. It will serve
Che purpose OF showing the smaller
civil divisions how to do the work,
and it will exemplify the advantages
OF having good roads in every dis
trict 1t is in this aspect that it is
given the sanction OF the Governor
and his encouragement.
The time has arrived in this State
when good roads are essential to its
highest development. Though its in
dustries have tnriven amazingly and
its farms have prospered, with indif-
ferent roads, its further development
demands that which has heretofore
been neglected. It's great industrial
population must be put in closer
touch with its rural population.

CENSUS OF STANDING TIMBER.


Washington, D. C.-The National
Conservation Commission has caused
the first comprehensive attempt at a
census of the standing timber in the
United States ever undertaken. The
commission needs the information to
help complete its inventory OF the
country's natural resources, which it
will include in its report to the Pres
ident, and since that report is to he
submitted on January l next it needs
the information at once. In conse-
Quence the work on the census has
been started with rush.
Estimates as to the amount OF
standing timber in the United States
range all the way from S22,6S2 ,000,-
900 to 1000, 100000 board feet,
difference of more than trillion
feet in the views of the best qualified
authorities in the country.
In the opinion of the forest service
the most carefully prepared estimates
yet made are those by Henry Can
nett. published by the twelfth census
in 1900, which placed the total
stumpage at 1890, 900, 100000 board
feet. Mr.. Gannett was recently cho-
sen by the President to compile all
the information gathered for the
commission. The census is expected
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1908-10-16

to give an accurate basis for comput-
ing how long our timber supply will
last.
The consensus of opinion is that
the present annual consumption OF
wood is about 100, 900, 100000 board
feet, or something more than that.
One leading authority has placed it
as high as 10000, 100000 board
feet. Assuming stumpage OF
1,A00, 100000 feet, an annual
use of 100000, 100000 feet and neg.

exhaustion of our timber supply Is
indicated in fourteen years, and as
Stunning the same use and stand. with
an annual growth of 0,000,000,000
feet, a supply for twenty-three years
is indicated. Letters to county clerks
asking for statements of forest areas
in their counties have been forward
ed. Seven thousand lumbermen and
timber land owners have been asked
to supply similar information. In
all, nearly 10000 letters have been
sent. These letters also ask for a
wide variety of information. includ-
ing not only the lumbo~ing and mill

Trains on Highways.
:;'kys

Consul General Robert P. Skinner.
Marseilles. furnishes the following
information concerning the running
Of passenger and freight trains on
:he highways of France:
There recently passed this consul
ate Train Renard.' composed of a
locomotor, two passenger cars and
one baggage car, which had just ar
rived from Paris under its own power
and over the ordinary roads, thus sup
plying to the public a demonstration
Of its own efficiency. The trains
mentioned are composed of elements,
each receiving the energy of vehi-
Gle called locomotor, which being
placed at the head of the train dis
tributes the necessary power to the
following elements by means of
transmission shaft extending from
one end of the train to the other,
thus enabling each car to utilize its
own adhesion to the road surface as
q means of advancement.
THE locomotor-that is to say, the

lighter than any of the cars. Trains
Of this type completely loaded are
able to maintain a speed of twenty
one kilometers (13.05 miles) per
hour in case of passenger trains on
levels and from fifteen to sixteen kill
ometers (9.92 to 9.94 miles, per hour
in the case of freight trains. 1t is
said that the freight trains of this
type are able to maintain an average
of from ten to twelve kilometers
(6.21 to 7.45 miles,, fully loaded,
in any kind of country.
1T would be useless to enter into
further details regarding these high
road trains, as far as the United
States is concerned, inasmuch as we
are without road system sufficient
ly advanced to make their application
possible. On the other hand the
adoption of passenger and freight
trains over railless roads in France
has become not only a possibility but
a fact. Already hundreds of inacces-
sible hamlets, hith erto served by slow
going diligences, are kept in constant
contact with the outside world by
means of large auto-omnibuses, NOV
ing at an average rate OF fifteen miles
an hour, transporting both passen-
gers and express parcels; and nows
following this development, comes
the explosive engine motor, drawing
full trains of cars, which it is claimed
can be operated on level or mount
ainous roads at an exceedingly mod
crate expense. In other words, il all
that is claimed for these trains is re-
allied, it will be possible to give 25,-
600 communes in France, which do
not at present enjoy railroad facili-
ties, approximately the same advan-
tages with respect to transportation
as the most populous and highly fav-
ored centres.
This illustrates how much the
creation of better highway system
would benefit the rural populations
OF the United States, who are at a
great disadvantage in regard TO trans
poTtation as compared with foreign
communities, and deprived of the
various kinds of satisfaction result
ing from the existence OF modern
highways"

PUBLICITY SAVES LIVES ON RAILROADS
Frequent and Discipline Better

Chicago.-Publicity is credited
with having decreased accidents on
the Hartman system of roads be-
tween twenty and fifty per cent. with
in the past three years. This result
Is indicated by report made by
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
rimaa, of novel plan which has been
tried on that system of roads.
Besides decreasing accidents, pub
1icity has served, it is said, to i'm
prove discipline and increase efficiency
and also has protected the roads
against newspaper Misrepresentation
and unfair hostility on the part of
communities. When the plan of CIV
ing the fullest publicity to wrecks
was first preached by Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt, it was coldly received on all
sides. Finally he succeeded in get
ting it tried on the Union Pacific, and
now all the Hartman lines follow it.
The new method depends for its
success largely upon speedily finding
out the cause of the accident, placing
the blame where it belongs and let
ting the public know all the news
papers care to tell about it. This
method is so different from the one
usually employed by railroads that it
caused a great deal of comment, but
Mr. Kruttschnitt is firm believer in
the efficacy of public sentiment when
based upon a right understanding of
facts.
When an accident occurs on any of
the Hartman roads the superin-
tendent, master mechanic and engi-
neer of the division go at once to the
scene and organize board of inquiry,
composed of themselves and one or
more leading citizens OF the commun-
ity. If this board fails to ascertain
the cause of the accident, second
board is formed OF the general super
intendent, general superintendent of
motive power, engineer of main
tenance Of way and one or more citi-
zens of the community. Should this
board in turn fail, a third board is
formed with the general manager at
its head. In only one instance has
