MATERIAL FOR GOOD ROADS
interesting Experiments with Fur
mace Stag and Refuse from
Sugar ReAneries.

Uniquely interesting are a number of the
experiments now being conducted by the
office of public roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture, one being the
effort to build a dust-proof road by COM
bining the heretofore little used blast fur
mace Stag with asphalt or tar.
This endeavor is of the utmost economic
Importance, because if the hoped-for sue
cess is attained. unsightly mountains of
Stag will soon disappear from the vicinity
of scores of cities, and a ready market
will nave been established for vast guam
titles of this material.
For several years the scientists In the
office of public roads. as well as In many
Of the more progressive states, have been
working to achieve two great objects, viz,
the utilization of by-products In road build
ing and the development of dustless roads.
Experiments already conducted indicate
that crushed rock combined with tar or
asphalt preparations bids fair to solve in
a measure the dustless road problem. EX-
haustive laboratory tests have indicated
that Stag in combination with preparations
of tar or asphalt may be made TO serve
as a substitute for crushed rock. Sections
Of experimental road are now being con-
structed which will subject the materials

as satisfactory as the preliminary condi-
tions indicate the slag-asphalt or slag-tar
roads will realize the hope of the scientists
for both the utilization OF by-products and
the attainment of a dustless road. One OF
these experimental stretches Of road is now
in course Of construction at Chicago, under
the supervision Of Chief Engineer Vernon
NJ. Peirce Of the federal bureau, and one
at Birmingham, Ala. under the direction
Of B. F. Heidel, first assistant engineer.
The road at Chicago will be OF Stag and
asphalt; that at Birmingham Of Stag and
tar. The greatest skill and care will be
used in putting down these short stretches,
and they will then be carefully observed
during the trying months Of winter. II in
the spring it has been established that this
class OF road remains firm. does not rut'
sheds water and makes but little dust, a
vast step forward viii have been taken in
road building. and a never-failing market
will have been created for blast furnace
waste.
Besides this activity In Stag experiments,
the public roads office is also busy at
Newton, Mass, with a special asphalt prep
a~ration, never before tried, which the d.
rector and his l%ieutenants hope may prove
| efficacious as a Outstanding surface ma
terial.
More unique than this. however. the office
is preparing at the same place TO lay a

certain 20 label a "candy road" In all
flights Of fancy It is probable that nobody

Edgar Allan Poe may not have heen bav-
Ing a hop" dream when he wrote liza Pa

who was accused of stealing 50 from Mrs
Amos Throckmorton's pocketbook on the
evidence of the latter's maybe. confessed
that Mag told the truth. It is the first
case on record. outside of fiction, where a
bird convicted a human being Of robbery
on It's own evidence. The uncanny black
and white demon with a long tail and in
quisitive beak was too much for Louis. II
got on his nerves and he couldn't stand
the strain. He didn't know what might
happen to hin with voodoo and the black
art against him. Therefore, to draw a
natural conclusion, Poe probably saw a
raven fly through his window, take a seat
on the marble bust OF Pallas' resting
"o'er HIS chamber door and dolefuI'v

To get back TO Louis and present-day
miracles, Judge Lindsey was waiting for

Louis father has been asked to pay back

Louis was sent home. Judge Lindsey does
not think that he will need much punish

stick with him through life, and It is safe
to say that Mrs. Throckmorton herself will

STATESMAN, BANKER, THIEF
Fall Of Albert, the Danish Minister
Of Justice.
HE EMBEzzLED THREE MILLIONS
Peasants, Business Men and the King
Himself Among His Victims
danish Cabinet Involved
in His Ruin.

NEW YORK, Sept 0s.-The embezzlement
and arrest Of Peter Adler Albert, the
former minister of justice in Denmark, to-
gether with the downfall of the Danish
cabinet, constitute a series Of incidents
which find an C In this country be-
cause of the assertion that this special
favorite of King Frederick VIII found here
his financial Waterloo.
For fourteen years Albert had been
stealing from the bank of which he was
the head. and the audacity and shrewd-
ness with which he operated are shown
by the fact that up to a few days before
he gave himself up to the police he oc-
cupied a seat OF honor at the banuueting
board OF the royal palace. lake M.
Christensen, the premier whose fall came
after the Albert exposure. King Fred
erick refused to the last to believe the
many rumors in circulation touching the
character Of his minister of justice.
Wall street appears to have no direct
record Of any of Alberti's transactions
The Paris and London stock exchanges
were the scenes Of his operations. Through
these channels he staked his all, and the
all OF others, and lost.
The millions stolen by Albert are ire
trievable lost. The Danish farmers are left
20 mourn their savings. But decidedly more
distressing TO the nation is the blot which
the transactions OF the former minister of
Justice has thrown on the %country's in
tegrity.
Hard Blow to the Danes.
The Danes have always prided them
selves on their probity. their political acu-
men and the manner in which the affairs
OF the government are conducted. Now

IL was expected more than of others that
ne would hold the property Of others in
violate is a scoundrel, Besides, under the
cloak OF religion Alberti passed for an IN
dividual whose aim it was to do good tc
others.
The history OF Albertrs wrongdoings runs
book 20 a time before he entered th'
cabinet OF the late King Christian TX. The
father OF the present Danish ruler placed
the utmost confidence in him. When the
radicals came into power, with a leftis
party gaining what It had been struggling
for, Albert occupied a middle ground be
tween the extremists within the party ant
the more conservative.
His schooling and training had been Of
kind to tit him for the profession Of law
As an attorney pTacticing before the highe
courts few eQualled him. He held the re

traits, nevertheless gave him credit for tn.
