THE USE OF STONE.

The stone on road. especially the
top layer. is subjected to the grinding
action OF iron wheels. and the impact
from wheels and horses feet. The
heavier the loads wagons carry, the
narrower the tires. the sharper the
caullSs on the horses shoes. the more
the stone on the surface Is broken into
finer pieces. The wind and water carry
away the finest particles OF DUST, and
the stone being exposed more Is worn
away TO replace IL. The road should
always be covered with a thin sheet OF
6nc material which has been worn from
the stone; only enough however to
form a smooth protecting covering. II
the stone Is too soft then too thick. Il
layer OF dctritus covers the road and
we have dust in summer and mud In
winter The mud resulting from the
wear OF some kinds OF stone is partic-
ulariy aggravating. The stone from
which roads are built should be hard
enough TO allow only a small amount
| of wear. and the kind Of rock should be
used that docs not yield sticky. olayey

New System Of SURVEYS.

WASHINGTON, June 13.-Under the
terms of the sundry civil bill the IN an.
ner of making public land surveys in
the west will be changed in January
The present law provides that surveys
shall be made by contract, the statute
fixing the maximum charge allowed on
different types OF country. The sun.
dry civil bill, however, does away
with the old method and directs that
hereafter all surveys shall be made by
surveyors employed on salary by the
secretary of the interior, the maximum
compensation not to exceed 5000 per
month. The effect of the change is to
employ surveyors at stipulated alary
per month instead of paying for sur
veys at so much per lineal mile.

WASHINGTON, June 13. - Further

week. President Taft is signing the
proclamations as fast as they are pre-.
pared by the forest service and ap.
proved by the secretary of the agri.
culture.
This work is hurried because the
administr alton has become alarmed
by the emigration from the United
States TO Canada. By reclassifca
tion more than million acres which
had been locked up in the national
forests will be thrown open to entry
When the work is completed more
than 3,00O,0 900 acres will be available

WHAT IS A WHITE MANI

A PuxzIin9 Problem For the Racial In.
vestigator.
The chief of the naturalization bu-
reau at Washington is Of the opinion
that the average man in the street"
understands distinctly what white"
man is Apparently some persons can
master a subject without studying It
at all, while others who have looked
into it deeply are not so dogmatically
certain as the average man in the
street."
For example, the encyclopedias tell
us that mankind was divided by Blu
menbach into five races-namely, Cau-
casian, Mongolian, Ethiopian, Ameri-
can Qndian) and Malay. The words
caucasian" and white are used
anonymously. This classification was
first published in 1871 and must have
been known to our national legislators
when in 1902 they passed the first
naturalization law.
The Caucasian race includes Arabs,
who are certainly no "whiter" than
the Turks, yet Turks, the official says,
cannot be naturalized because they are
not white"
We are also told by the naturaliza-
tion bureau that the Hindoo is not
white" within the meaning Of the
statute. But the encyclopedia says that
It is great error to separate the Hin
doc from the Caucasian race. The
Hindoo, it thinks, is much nearer the
white" race than the Arab.
To puzzle the racial Investigator still
further, while everything is 50 clear
to the average man in the street."
we are told by the encyclopedias that
the original Caucasians-that is, the
inhabitants Of the Caucasus-are no
longer regarded as Caucasians. They
have been thrown out Of the "white"
camp and forced to go over to the
Mongol
Nor is the enigma any nearer solu.
ton when we are told by the natural
ization bureau that Asiatics cannot be
naturalized. but that Siberians can,
although Siberians may be anything
from Russians to Mongolians or Mon

AUTO EFFICIENCY
IS MUCH DESIRED
S. G. Richardson OF the Re-
lance Company Discusses the
Modern Motor Car

s. G. Richardson. manager Of the Re
lance automobile company, in discuss
ing motor cars. said yesterday:
Motor car efficiency means what is
most ideal to the owner OF a high grade
automobile. This does not necessariIy
mean that he prefers a racing car, but
he wants power. and this must meaF
speed, as the only way of measuring
power is by speed. It is impossible TO
have one without the other If the power
is motor development and not obtained
BIZ low ratio of gearing, which means
greater fuel consumption as well as
more wear TO motor parts and the dis
agreeab bic feature OF having to race the
motor when running at ordinary speed
The motor puts the real life into an
automobile as in comparison a pony
can pull buggy, but good strong
horse can do II much more easily and
continue to do so longer without show
ing overwork or strain; the buggy, al
though the best made. can not run
without a good horse, and the same ap-
plies to the automobile; its ability and
efficiency are in the motor.
The efficiency OF Knox water cooled
motors has been proved conclusive
ever since their Introduction in 1907,
and 1t must be conceded that their
record Of success, which is unap-
preached in automobile history, and
now easily proven by the records, could
not have been achieved except by hav-
ing construction superior TO that OF
other makers.
The San Francisco call., 1910-01-16

Indications of two radical mechani-
cal departures are plainly apparent
upon the English motor car horizon
and can not be safely ignored by the
remainder of the motor world because
they undoubtedly are IN the right di-
rection and tend toward economy and
efficiency The first has been in evil
dence for several seasons, but the sec
ond has attracted little attention until
the last few months Quickly detach-
able wire wheels have undoubtedly
come TO stay and few concerns in Eng
LAND viii go on the market without
them The second undoubted evolution
which was Enthusiastically herelded at
the recent Olympia show is the sUbsti-
tuition of the worm drive for the bevei
propulsion Of small cars. This prac-
tice has for many years had two sue
cessfu1 adherents in England and for
1910 there will be no fewer than a half
dozen recruits. The cause of the evo-
luton is the general tendency to pro-
duce inclosed cars for tewn use with
large bodies and small motors This
means a further increase ia the ratio
between pinion and crown gear in the
rear axle and corresponding difficulty
