MODEL PENNSYLVANIA ROAD
Hummelstown Pike so Constructed
That II Withstands Traffic Wear
and Weather.

A model road is the Hummelstown
pike, near Harrisburg. 1t is made of
q mixture Of water gas tar cement,
liquid asphaltum, road oil, carbolic
6isinfecting powder, sulphate of cop
per, and oil Of wintergreen. The sui
phate Of copper is used to prevent
thA oils from becoming ignited, and
the wintergreen c0Unteracts the odor
OF the others. There Is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell A curious
eject OF the mixture Is its disinfecting
power. During tho past year there
was not q single contagious disease in
Ahat section. The cost of applying
the mixture IL 81 cents square yard.
.The cement holds the dirt together
IKE stone. and the oils make it water
proof, so that It really sheds water.
The road Is never muddy, and, unlike
tar road, docs not become slippery
In winter time. Frost has no effect
on It at all. as the mixture will not
-1Eseze. The cost OF applying is very
small, as It Is sprinkled on like
water. That the method and the mix
ture is a perfect success has been
shown this summer. Despite the heavy
automobile and wagon traffic, the road
Is perfectly smooth and very hard, and
II has met the test IN every way

Fierce storm Hits Peoria.

Peoria. Ill. Nov. s.-The Illinois
river valley was swept By the sever
est electrical storm on record at the
local weather bureau. Lightning
created havoc throughout Peoria and
for a time all communication was cut
when the lines Of both telegraph and

and burned and the financial losses
will reach more than $4,000.
