weather conditions, there was q
goodly attendance of people in

In a report on the results obtained by

Cost of oiIina Roads.

A recently published report of the
Poston park commission Is interesting
In 1906 twelve miles of road were treat
cd with oil to keep down the dust, and
the result was SO satisfactory that in
1907 the whole extent of more than for
ty miles was treated in this way. Mr..
Putnam, the engineer, has carefully
calculated the cost, and he says that
the annual cost of sprinkling a 30-foot
roadway was $3.50 mile. whereas the
cost of oiling the same roadway thirty
feet wide was 1915. In addition to lay
irg the dust the asphaltum in the Oil
had a binding effect on the surface of
the road, and very materially lessened
the cost for repairs. the oil is put on
in an emulsion in which fifteen pounds
of soap is dissolved in fifty gallons OF
water is mixed with 100 gallons of
crude oil, the whole being agitated to
the proper point of emulsion, and Their
$50 gallons of this is mixed with 45(
gallons Of water and sprinkled On the
roads. The plan has given the very
hest of satisfaction in Boston, and
might be tried elsewhere with cores
pondingly satisfactory results.-Utica

We have taken her name for another

The tides sweep in and the tides sweep
out. and they surge through the riven

And the stars look down in their nightly

And the fingertip Of the mast points high
to the universe overhead
In a silent sign to the watching world
1t is thus that we leave our dead.
The ships sail up and the ships sail down
in the highways of the sea
And the nations know of the wreck that
stands as a scar on you and me
We remembered her once for warning
time when the waters above ran red,
But we turned away-and the world may
say it is thus that we leave our dead.
They sneer of it and they jeer of it in
the babble of other lands.
1t is bruted far where the icefiOeS are and
is known on the desert sands.
1t is thus that nation is rendered great,
when the flag that is overhead
Asks of me and you: rs it right and true
is it thus that you leave My Dead?"
The name of it and the blame of it! That
