Whittiar's Visitor.

Pilgrims used to visit Whittier con-
tinually. A typical one came from
Missouri. Though told that Whittier
had a headache, he forced his way
into the poets study where he de-
clared that he adored all Whittier's
works, which he knew almost by
heart He asked Whittier to write
his name several hundred times on
large sheet of foolscap, so that he
could cut out and distribute the auto
graphs among his Missouri friends
In fact. it was all the poet could do
to keep the enthusiastic Missourian
from clipping all the buttons from his
coat as souvenirs.
"And all the time" - 50 Whittier
would end the anecdote pathetically-
''all the time he called me White
taller. "-Exchange.

Skcptics, knockers and "hard SHELF

days, have had the scales dropped
from their eyes and have become con-
verted by what they have seen. The
road dragging plan has since taken
hold of entire Lancaster county with
increasing power and benefit for good
roads. Farmers all over the county are
building drags and using them. The
one verdict they pronounce upon the
effect ON dirt roads is: "Why did we
not know of this drag plan before? 1t

other cities. particularly in Europe, he
has evolved Il portable oil-asphalt melt
ing and nuXing plant that will revolu-
tioniZe the work. The plant is the
first Of its kind in the world and will
attract the attention of highway en-
gineers throughout the United States.
Its cost is less than $1,000, and the
process to he used has been given
thorough test
Street Commissioner Travila in de-
sclibing the new apparatus and the
progress of road oiling said:
Tic oil-asphalt melting and 1uXng port
able plant is a new departure in machin-
cry for road treatment. After two years'
experience with light and heavy oils | be-
came satisfied there was room for i'm
provement by adding asphalt to heavy oil
for road treatment. and the result of this
investigation has brousht about the con-
struction of the portable plant.
There is no sub eCt today which is being
discussed more frequently than ethOds
of improving our highways. The oilnS of
roads is making considerable progress in
the United States with good effect but
much better results can be obtained by
the application of a layer of hot oil-as-
phalt compound to the road surface In
this way the road absorbs the mixture
and also forms a very solid coating ana
a strong binder for the particles of sand
and the larger stone in the macadam
road, which carries the load.
The dust which usually results from the
wear of the road disappears. and at the
same time the natural expense of keeping
up the road Is diminished, which more
than compensates for the cost of the
process. This comes from the great re-
duction of expense for sprinkling a road
and scraping the mud well from the
great durability Of the roadbed.
The cost per square yard for treating
the road by the new process will vary
from cents to II cents. depending on
the amount of sand and asphalt used.
The plant consists of Il melting and agi-
tation kettle, an air pressure for fur
nishing compressed air for agitating
the oil-asphalt and for forcing it from
the kettle to a sprnkling wagon; also
Il steam pump rs an auxiliary for
pumping heavy oil from the tank car
to the melting kettle and a steam boil
err for furnishing steam for the opera
ton of the air pressure and steam
pump.
The kettle has n capacity of 1850
gallons and is divided iranversely into
two equal parts. one compartment be-
ing intended for melting and mixing
the oil-asphalt. the other for agitating
the oil-asphalt.

A ROAD IN PANAMA.
Features Of a Highway Built by the
United States Government.


Road building down on the isthmus
of Panama does of necessity get its
share of attention, too, but by tine
Americans. however, for when they
find that the business of the zone can
best be facilitated by the making Of
good roads the work is then COM
that there are no roads ut all. so when
they build they build good ones.
There has recently been thrown open
a new road in the zone which extends
from the Boulevard Fourth de Julio to
the La Boca road. 1t comes through
Ancon, canal zone. and is a sort of
boundary line between the zone and
Panama, Panama being on the right.
while Ancon is on the left. Before this
road was opened up road traffic be-
tween Ancon, canal zone, and La Boca
had to travel route about one and
one-half miles longer than the present
route, thus causing the consumption
of much time in the zones business
traffic. The present route is what
might be called short cut"
The road was ballasted with crushed
stone on its completion and has since
been reballastcd. so as to stand the
long rainy season. This was done by
first going over it with more crushed
stone, followed by Il water sprinlilng
wagon, after which a road roller went
over it. The roller may be seen in the
distance. The road is now in Il sub
stantial condition.
The republic of Panama has no
roads, and yet this is the one thing
that will give impetus to the business
of her people. 1t is only a matter of
time when there will be roads
through the zone extending from the
city of Panama to that of Colon. BY
having these the business of the canal
zone can be expedited.
Some one may ask, What does the
one span bridge amount to? We'll. it
means much down on the isthmus.

"FORETASTES OF HEAVEN %
Spontaneous Outbursts of Love and Honor For Two
Veterans of the Cross of This Section

thousands of friends Throughout
this section of these two venerable
and beloved Soldiers of the Cross will
road with much interest the following
from the last issue of the Christian
Index telling of touching and beauti-
fuI incidents at the recent session of
Friendship Baptist Association in
which Rev. NJ B. L. Binion of Ter
ralI county and Rev. John Martin of
Randolph county were the central
figures:
eve witnessed two scenes at the
friendship Association which great
" touched the heart. On the morn
ing of the opening day the venerable
and beloved M. B. L. Binion, who
has been preaching for over fifty
wears, and whose failing eyesight now
requires the arm of friend to aid
him as he moves about, came to the
church. At once the brethren began
crowding around him and speaking
words of love. Some spoke of SER
mons they had heard him preach.
while others gave expression to their
affectiOn; and, finally, a brother
pressed his way close up and said:
MY wife told me to be sure to give
her love to Brother Binion. 1t
seemed to us, as we looked on, that
this venerable brother was having
a foretaste of that marvellous 10Y
which will be his when he meets
the general assembly and church of
the first-born with the scores and
hundreds whom he has led to Christ,
and others whose hearts he has COM
forted in times of sorrow and made
more glad in times of joy. His face
beamed with gladness as he welcomed
one after another and heard their
words of love and appreciation.
"a little later there came on the
grounds another venerable man,
whose long, useful life has been
wonderful benediction to that whole
region of country-Rev. John Mar

years of age, nearly ninety, and has
been preaching sixty-five years, while
Brother Binion is seventy-five years
old, and has been preaching fifty

MANY WANT CENSUS JOBS.
There Are Some Counties, However,

There Are Some Counties, However,
in Which Applicants Are Few.
The Supervisor of Census for the
Second District of Georgia has re-
ceived many applications for appoint
ment as enumerators. From some
of the counties of the district there
are already more applicants than
there will be places to fill, while
j from other counties the number is
small-in some scarcely any. APP
plications, to be considered, must be
made in the handwriting of the APP
plicant, and mailed to E. l.. Rainey,
Supervisor of Census, Dawson, Ga.
The receipt of applications are ac-
knowledged, the applicants name re-
corded, and later on each applicant
will be sent a blank to be filled out
and returned to the Supervisor.
An examination as to fitness for
the position of enumeration must be
stood by each applicant, after which
the Supervisor will suggest to the
Director of Census at Washington
the names of those designated for
appointment. The Director of Cen
sus will either approve or disap-
prove these suggestions before the
appointments are made.
The territory embraced in this Con-
gressional district will be subdivided
into enumeration districts, and one
or more enumerators appointed for
each district. The actual work of
enumeration will begin on April 10,
1910.

THE UNDERGROUND OCEAN.
Enormous Quantity of Water Under
the Crust of the Globe.

Recent investigations by officers of
the geological survey have brought
to light facts about the enormous
quantity OF underground water con-
tanned in the crust of the globe which
are calculated to astonish the lay
mind.
Below depth of six miles it is
believed that no water can exist in
the rocks, because the tremendous
pressure probably closes all pores;
but above that level the quantity of
underground water is estimated to be
equal to one-third of all the water
contained in the oceans. If poured
over the land surface of the globe
the underground would, it is avered,
be sufficient to cover it to uniform
depth of from 5000 to $500 feet.
