1t was Commander Lyon of the
Dolphin who cleared Guantanamo
bay of the torpedoes with which
it was strewn by the Spaniards.
Every moment of the time in
which he was engaged in this work
his vessel was in danger of being
sunk by hidden mine, but Lyon
kept at the task until the seaway
was clear of the explosive obstruc-
lions.
In Maclay's History of the Uni

torpedo removal that Lyon en-

AN ADVANCE OVER MACADAsT
ROADS.

Road making in Vermont has pro-
gessed 70 that stage that macadam
roads are not the highest development
Macadam is excellent for the ground
work, but something more il required for
the finishing touches before the work Is
considered completely done. A covering
Of bitumen which serves to bind the ma
terials together Is being used BY the
most progressive road makers nowadays
although as yet the idea has gained but
slight headway The municipalities are
having experiments in this new phase Of
road building, having copied it largely
from Massachusetts,. Austin b. Fletcher
secretary Of the Massachusetts, highway
commission, in speaking before an Assem-
bly, Of road makers in Cleveland, said
that before any Of the bituminous mate
rails are applied 1t Is essential that the
road surface be evened up and patched
where necessary, rolled and swept clean
Of all dust. The bituminous materials
in the Massachusetts, experiments are
then applied hot to the road surface by
means Of spraying machines or gravity
distributors or by hand in quantities
varying from one-fourth to three -fourths
Of gallon to the square yard, and i'm
mediately covered evenly with sand, fne
gravel or broken stone screenings. The
surface is then rolled, and there results
protecting coat or covering from three
cighths 70 three-fourths Of an inch in
depth, depending on the quantity of the
bituminous material used, and probably
to some extent on the nature Of the sand
or gravel placed over it.
Il may be thought that this applica-
ton Of bitumen to the macadam Is
very costly addition, but the results as
found in Massachusetts do not bear out
the idea, It has been found that BY the
application Of one-half gallon to q
square yard the road will last for two
years and with further application Of
little more bituminous material yearly
or onee in two years the roadbed viii be
preserved indefinitely. At this rate Of
repair the up-keep Of the roads will cost
merely the price Of renewing the cover
ing, which amounts to four or Ave cents
per square yard each year. There Is no
wear on the foundation stones; in fact,
