Y. S. officers Say Sentences ls Justified
Washington. Feb. 21.-The sentence
OF General Stoessel Is regarded by the
American military officers as the logi
cal consequence both a the surrender
o. Port Arthur and Russian military
discipline That the sentence IS justi-
fed Is the general expert belief The
concensus q opinion r. that Port
Arthur was surrendered prematurely
The considerations which entered into
the military problem which General
Stoessel had TO face are summed no
here as embracing a choice between
standing ont 10 the last ditch and in
that way keeping the besieging army
engaged and not free 10 strike az an
other point and surrendering because
the ultimate result was apparently
hopeless
The American articles Of war pre-
scribe death as the penalty for exactly
such conduct. Such a sentence. how
ever. has never been carried out In this
country. although II was imposed IN

ent time it has greater mileage of
brick pavements than any other
city in the country, in fact in the
world.
There is block of brick pave
ment on the Harlem river in New
York city that has been in use for
over nine years, subjected to the
heavy traffic of street car street.
and with an elevated structure laid
in the center. The pavement is
row in good condition, and has re-
ceived almost no repairs"
At page 261 is a paragraph stat
ing that the engineers in general
have established brick in the front
ranks of all other paving materials.
At page 291:
"Brick pavements have been In
use in this country for about 20
years. According to the bulletin of
the department Of labor, issued at
Washington. D. c., there are 1865
900 square yards in cities OF over
10000 Inhabitants, Philadelphia
having 1,777,123 square yards; Des
Moines. Ia, r,509,195 square yards;
Columbus, O., 100000 square
yards: Cleveland O., 100000
square cards: Louisville, KY, over
659,O00 square yards"
There are also few extracts that
l would like to quote from the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
forest service, Circular 141, which
speaks principally of wood paving
in the United States.
1t is stated that Jarran blocks
were laid on Twentieth street in
New York city in 1895, but were re-
moved in 1904. The cost of this
pavement was about IS per square
yard, which should exclude these
woods, even should they make bet
ter pavement than our best creo-
soted native woods. After this fail
ure of untreated woods, attention
was turned to the wood presenva-
tives for the treatment Of wood
pavements. The tendency has been
to narrow down to the use of one
material, viz: The dead oil of coal
tar, commonly called creosote. either
pure or in the mixture of resin,
pit"h' or other materials.
There is also another article
which states in this same issue that
in the United States almost no wood
pavements Of modern kind have yet
been down long enough to show its
dura bility.
The city of Minneapolis has used
great many crecsoted blocks for
paving purposes. The city requires
an impregnation of 16 pounds per
cubic foot.
1t can be proven beyond doubt
that there is more brick used in the
United States than any other one
class of pavement, at the present
time, and that its use is increasing
faster than any other known pave.

Demand for Metallic Mirrors.

The production of metallic mir
rors for searchlights and other such
uses is now in demand in Europe,
according to the London Times.
Those made of glass, now used, are
Objectionable. owing to their liabili-
tv to fracture when the guns are
fred on ships, and to the s!lvering
on the mirrors blistering and sepa-
rating from the glass. A new metal
lie mirror, partially made by cleo
tro-deposition. is being introduced.
The mirror has surface composed
OF alternate bands or rings of gold
and white rejecting surfaces.
1t is claimed that this mirror
gives more penetrating beam OF
light, both at night and in foggy
weather, that objects on which such
a beam of light is thrown stand out
in greater relief than in light
thrown from a silver white metal
mirror. and that the intensity OF the
light is so great that 1t is impossible
to aim accurately at the protector.
Another advantage claimed for
the new mirrors is that they are not
fractured by conclusion, and that
even when penetrated by bullets
the area of distortion is very small

company, effective October 1.
He began railroading in 1860

on the train which Kate Shelly,
Iowa's heroine, saved in 1888
in the terrible flood at Boone.
The bridge being unsafe, she
crawled along the crest of the

tottering river bridge and fell
fainting at the depot as Paine
was giving the signal to start.
