he latter was suffering too much from
lis rheumatism to be on duty. Admit
tai Sperry's record has been unexcep-
tional throughout the cruise, and he
returns at the head Of the fleet under
circumstances which have won him
much praise. In speaking Of the value
Of the cruise he said as the ships We're
about to leave Gibraltar:
During these fourteen months Of
our absence the fleet has been practi-
caliy self sustaining In the matter OF
repairs. The officers and men respon-
sible for repairs have met every test.
and the results prove that the ships
have been better cared for than when
they depend upon the navy yards.
New standards Of efficiency in
steam engineering, which means econ
omy In coal consumption and increa sed
radius Of action, have been establish
ed. The voyage Of 1861 miles from
Honolulu to Auckland was the longest
ever undertaken by large fleet with
out recoaling. yet we reached Auck
land with coal enough In our bunkers
to steam another thousand miles"
An interesting incident Of the return
Of Hampton Roads by the squadron
under command Of Rear Admiral Con-
way II. Arnold. This squadron was
created since the ships under Sperry
sailed away fourteen months ago and
constitutes the third squadron Of the
Atlantic fleet. 1t consists Of the bat

MAKING A GOOD ROAD
Ground on Which It Is to Be Built
Must Be Drained.
SHAPING IS MOST IMPORTANT

That Of Finished Highways Should
Be In Cross Section, Shallow Curve
or Shallow Truncated Cene-How
to Grade-Materials to Use.
Today good road must be surveyed.
1t must circle or wind its way up hills
instead Of mounting them in defiance
Of the laws Of gravity. 1t should not
follow the primitive settlers path or
the track Of his COW. 1t must avoid
creeks and swamps. and everywhere
it's grade should be foreseen with near
" as much care as is used ON a rail.
road.
AS a chain Is no stronger than Its
weakest link, just so the greatest load
which can be hauled over road Is the
load which can be hauled through the
deepest mudhole or up the steepest hill
on that road. The cost Of haulage is
therefore necessarily increased in pro-
portion to the roughness Of the surface
or the steepness Of the grade. This
cost may easily be reckoned directly
in time. loss Of temper and wear and
tear on the horse. Indirectly 1t amounts
to tens Of thousands Of dollars.
The ground on which the road Is to
be built must be drained. This Is va
riously done, according to different cir
cumstances, but the fundamental re-
quirement Is side bitches. These, be-
ing lower than the bed Of the road,
receive the water from its surface as
we'll as from its body.
On hills no "thank-you-ma' ans or
breaks or hummocks should be con-
structed. but instead the road should
be sloped so that the water will run
to the side channels or. II necessary,
be led to them by broad. shallow
bitches cut diagonally across. Under
ground culverts from the uphill to the
dOwnhill side Of the road should be
built at frequent intervals.

springy land subdrainage as we'll as
