sentative contia department whose business
it is to lake care of roads. Great Britain
spends annually E2,011 ,588 on 1855 miles
of main roads which are now under the con
troll Of hundreds of different bodies, most of
them working IN different systems. Francehas
%, 1928 miles of routes nGti0n0IeS, and
spends Ell, 224, 558 upon them. There can
be no question that the main roads of France
are infinitely better, as to both engineering
and maintenance, than ours ;and the expense
per mile IN France is G51 against f73 in
England in 1906.
The ROADS OF THE FUTURE.
AS regards the composition of the roads
Of the future, the delegates were by no
means of one opinion. The use of tar found
favour with the representatives of many diff
terent countries and amongst some of the
most experienced road-makers and when
the Congress passed u resolution stating
that 1T was desirable to continue and to
extend the trials made of Incorporating tar
or bltuminous products into the material Of
the surface, it voiced a very general feeling.
But small pare really we'll laid on solid
foundation or kleinpfaster were also recon-
mended as worthy of trial. AS was natural,
no one definite revolution was passed as to
the roads of the future. The period of
experiment is only just begun, and is not yet
over. Probably it never will be. But
whatever the future brings forth, we can
define the perfect road. It must be hard,
non-slippery, and waterproof. This kind of
road, though possibly costing much more
TO make, would be infinitely cheaper to
maintain THAI the casually made surface
which was so common everywhere i'll this
country until a few years ago.-Ibjd.

VENEZUELA.

SEIZURE OF A BRITISH SCHOONER.
A telegram from st. Vincent, Wmdward
Islands, announces that the schooner Lady
Kensin9ton, bound for Trinidad, vas seized,
whtIc becalmod, by Venezuelan officers, and
her passengers and crew were put
in prison. On being informed of the
seizure, the Governor of Trinidad re-
quostol Sir Vincent Corbctt, the B itish
Minister at Caracas, to investigate the affair.
1t is surmisod that in seizIng the schooner
the Venezuelan authorities were acting in
virtue of the decree recently issued by Pres
ident Castro, which practically prohibits
trade between Trinidad and Venezuelan
ports.
A member Of the crew has arrived at Trim
dad. He states that the pLs5ohgdrs of the
vessel were released at PAmpAtur and are
ponniless and friendloss.
1t is reported at st. Vincent that the
Venezuelan authorities allow the passengers
30 cents daily for life necessarios. AS far
as IS ascertainable the captain and the re-
mainder OF the crew are still prisonors.- Ibid.

EGYPT
'S1n J. +. GoRsT ON BRITIsH INTENTIONS.

Sir J.'Eldon Gorst, the British represen-
tative in Egypt, is reported to have stated,
in gu interview with a journalist, that there
was absolutely no truth in the report that
Great Britain would shortly proclaim q pro
tectorate over Egypt, or was considering the
question of annexation. Great Britain had
given solemn pledges to Turkey and to the
European Powers to respect the Sultan's
rights in Egypt, and did not desire to go
back on that engagement. The rumour
was also upfounded that he had been in
structed 10 introduce a constitutional regime
in Egypt as a consequence Of recent events
in Turkey. 1t would be folly to think of
introducing Unrestricted Parliamentary
government, as the conditions for the proper
administration Of the country under such a
system did not exist. The agitation on this
question only served to confirm the impress
sion that the Egyptians were not yet fit to
govern themselves.-IJid

THE ROAD
(FRoM A CORRESPONDENT

The first Road Congress III Paris was q
decided success Not only did the delegates
Of every country learn useful lessons from
the printed papers and the discussions; but
the interchange of ideas between roadrnak-
ers and road users and traffic managers hail
ing from points as far apart as Pekin and
Paris, San Francisco and st. Petersburg,
could not fail to be instructive.
1t IS interesting to note that, whereas it
IS the fashion ln'somo countries, especially IN
Groat Britain, to assume that mechanical
traction is responsible for nino-tenths of the
wear and tear of the roads, a great many
countries, as represented by their road-mak-
ers, held no such opinion.
The dusty roads of the past, with title or
no foundation, h g4backrd highways, from
the centre of which ehic les cannot deviate
except at considerable risk, execrably laid
and coarse pac6, all must give way in time. to
better systems and eventually be abolished.
Just as the mud roads in Pekin have given
place to modern macadam, so Europe must.
follow suit. In LOndoE the bumpv water
made macadam on the Thames Embankment
has recently been replaced by smooth Tar
mncndam. This is the spirit which rightly
animated the Congress -one of progress. not
o e OF walllng against the forces which are
stimulating progress.
As. regards the principal lesson to DO
learnt for Great Britain, it is undoubtedly
that some Cove Dment department here
should take cognisance of road problems and
expenditure. Out of the twenty principal
countries and colonies for which figures are
available, England, Scotland, and Ireland,
Austiaiia and Switzerland are the only ex-
ampies OF counties which have no repre-

y new store house is being built by
the CoWan mill of Lewiston. 1t will be
of brick. about 60 feet square, and two
stories high. At present u crew of men
are at work on q stone wall near the
falls for the foundation. The wall will
be 20 feet below the ground level in
some places. Work at the Cowan mill
is brisk this summer.
The Wilton Wooden Company Is
making extensive repairs in the lower
WOODEN mill and putting the machinery

v1yed the water from the pond to the
wheel back Of the mill has been taken
out and a larger one is being put in
which will furnish g, much greater
power Eight hundred tons Of coal
have recently been put in the sheds at
this mill. The management intends to
have everything in readiness to start
the mill as soon as the market will
warrant the move.

Work ut the spool mill at Dover has
been very quiet for the last few
months although at no time has the
mill been completely shut down. OW-
ing to the fact that the company had
something like 2,223 100 feet of spool
bars tC house the greater part of the
crew has been employed all summer
The last two months orders have been
large" than they were at one time
and eight machines are now being run
1t is thought that in n short time the
mill will be running on the old schcd-
ule. The mill at South Lincoln has been
shut down for several months and
because of this the Foxcroft mill has
filled practically all the orders re-
ccived at Lincoln. Work housing the
spool stock was completed last week
A new storehousc for drying the lum-
Der has been built at the rear of Mr.
NacGregor's cottage. This is built
Simil1r to the many other dry houses,
being 100 feet long and Il feet wide.
Tho new starch factory is nearing
completion and it is expected that it
will be ready for business by the mid
die Of September. The crew is en-
plcyed now on the dry house, which
is 40 by 60 feet and a very commodi-
Gus building. This is situated about 10
feet from the cellar, vat and crater
houses, all of which are built oft
from each other, and is connected
with them by bridge. The starch
will he brought from the top of the vat
house over this bridge and into the top
of the dry house, from whence it is
deposited in racks which are arranged
all OYER the building. The dry house
will be supplied with four furnaces,
two in each end. On account of this
and the high insurance rates, the
building was built the distance stated
above from the vat and crater houses.
The different buildings are all COW
cred with tlintcoat, q prepared roof
ing, which is waterproof, also proof
against sparks from the many passing

TERRIBLY BURNED.
Mrs. Charles r. Smith Has Serious
Accident Saturday Forenoon.

Mrs Charles r. Smith of % Can
nett street received terrible burns
Saturday forenoon as a result of the
igniting of can of patent backing,
with which she was backing stove.
Mrs Smith was backing the stove
while there was fire in it, and had
placed the can containing the backing
on the top Of the stove where it would
be handy for use.
AS she worked the mixture became
heated and before any danger was
anticipated it burst into flame. The
flash came 50 suddenly that Mrs.
Smith was unable to get out of the
way before her clothing became ig-
nited, and she rushed screaming out
of the house Enoch Merrill, public
carriage man, was passing the house
and he at once went to Mrs. Smiths
aid, rolling a blanket about her, and
extinguishing the flames.
Neighbors and passers-by gave as
sistance and she was carried into the
house and a physician summoned,
who found serious burns on the right
side, the right arm being terribly
burned, and the patient suffering in
tensely. Sunday morning she was
taken to the Augusta City hospital,
in order that she might have proper
treatment There was some question
as to whether it might not be neces-
sary to have the arm amputated.
Mrs Smiths many friends were
shocked to learn of the terrible acct
dent, and sympathies are being eX-
tended on every hand.
