REAL JERSEY DEVIL" FOUND.
Blend Of Sea Serpent, Kangaroo,
Bobcat and Jersey Lightning"

If anybody ever doubted that ''Jer

hoof prints in the snow of New Jersey
and adjoining states last winter. proof
has been produced ut burlington, n. j.,
that the scare was never due to high

Of the queerest animal ever seen. a
beast not on the schedule of any nat
ural history ever read by any one.
The animals body. still in good con-
dition, as though it had been dead only
Il short while. was found by Morris
Cabinsky of Burlington and Charles
Malsbury of Kinkora in the woods
near Kinllora and was brought to Eur

will be asked to give the animal Il
name and place it where it belongs-if
he is able to do so.
The boys thought ut first they had
come upon the carcass of Il biz wild
cat, but it looked so queer to them
that they decided to carry it into town
The body of the animal is about
twenty inches long and thin. The spi-
nal column extends six inches behind
the junction with the hind legs like
the tail of kangaroo. but this again
is tipped with nine inches of tail like
squirrels, but of reddish brown fur.
The strangest feature of all and that
which would seem to convict it of last
winters famous hoof prints is found
in the fore legs and feet. The legs are
fifteen inches long. consisting of four
joints, and socketed to these are the
feet, which take the form Of Il broad,
fat bone with distinct heel. The
foot bones are two and half inches
long and over an inch broad in solid
piece.
If the animal Travelled by leaps bend
ing the two fore feet down together he
would land after each long spring
with the feet forming the puzzling eff
ject of the hoof prints in the snow last
winter. The rear feet would explain
the finding of cat" prints near the
hoof marks. What looks like the frame

from the animals back Just above his

The big mouth is set with sharp
teeth three-quarters of an inch long,
while the head is adorned with long,
lancelike ears and four inch whiskers.

NEW MODEL HIGHWAY.
HummeIstown Pike, In Pennsylvania,
an Example For Road Builders,

A modern road is the HummelStown
pike. near Harrisburg. Pa. 1t is made
of Il mixture of water gas tar. ce-
ment. liquid asphalthum. road oil. car
bolc disinfecting powder. sulphate Of
copper and oil Of wintergreen. The
sulphate Of copper is used to prevent
the oils from becoming ignited. and
the wintergreen cOunteracts the odor
Of the others. There is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell. a curious
effect of the mixture is it's disinfect-
ing power. During the past year
there was not a single contagious dis
ease in that section. The cost Of APP
plying the mixture is 5La cents a
square yard. The cement holds the
dirt together like stone. and the oils
make it waterproof. SO that it readily
sheds water. The road is never mud
dy and. unlike tar road. does not be-
come slippery in winter time. Frost
has no effect on 1t at all. as the mix
ture will not freeze. The cost Of ap-
plying is very small. as it is sprinkled
on like water. That the method and
the mixture are perfect successes has
been shown the past summer. Despite
the heavy automobile and wagon traf
fic, the road is perfectly smooth and
very hard. and it has met the test in
every way.

English Highway Policy.

Two points in the recently proposed
British bill to provide for the economic
development of the United Kingdom
and the improvement Of the roads
therein are worthy Of notice in the
United States. The program of the
bill provides for special motor roads to
be exclusively or chiefly for the use of
motorcars. the road board having au-
thority to improve existing roads or to
construct new roads for that purpose.
The board may acquire land for this
purpose by right Of eminent domain
and may also acquire land adjacent
thereto for width 800 yards distant
from the middle of the road. which
land they may sell, lease or control. the
increment therefrom being used for
the maintenance or construction of this
class Of highways.

has one or more steam rollers. and the
cost of improving the roads or building
new ones is borne by the property
owners in proportion to the valuation
of their holdings. Most of the modern

Father to Be Thief

Miss Elsie Swanson of ST. Louis re-

to search for her father. whom she
had not seen for eleven years. She
found him few days ago in the coun-

he was convicted of burglary and lar

Swanson did not recognize his daugh-

of prisoners in the main cell room.
Father and daughter wept in each 9TH
er's arms. She will now try to obtain
a parole for him, and as he was con-

guilt it is possible her plea Of elem
