turned over once; then the full amount
Of oil added and turned. then the full
quantity of asphalt added and thor
oughly mixed until practically no sand
could be seen that was not thoroughly
coated and there were no Jumps, and
the completed mixture was ready to be
shoveled into the carts and hauled to
the road.
The temperature of the mixture aft
er reaching the road in the carts was
from $50 to $50 degrees +. 1t was
shoveled from the carts into place or
dumped upon dumping board and
shoveled back into place. The best re-
suits were obtained when shoveled d.
rectly from the cart. Perhaps it was
because there was less cooling. One
man could do all the spreading. All
the coarser stones were carefully rak-
ed ahead into the bottom so as to re-
duce as far as possible the voids on
the surface. The most careful spread
ing was given. and ten ton roller fol
lowed directly after the material was
spread.
To obtain the most perfect results
teaming should be kept off for period
which need not be longer than twenty
four hours after spreading, when the
rolling would be completed.

His HAPPY THOUGHT.
Il Let the New Train Dispatcher on
Without an Accident.

Il Let the New Train Dispatcher on
Without an Accident.
An operator for western railroad
who had served his company long and
well was called into the office one day
and asked If he thought he could hold
down the job of night dispatcher. He
promptly replied that he could and
was told to report for duty that night.
and his chief instructed him In what
he was to do. Just after the chief left
the Office 1t began to blow and snow.
and the trains commenced to run late
The new night dispatcher soon had de-
velOped bad case of ''rattles" aud al
most cried. He did not want an acci-
dent, and he could not handle the
trains. So a happy thought struck
him. AS fast as report came in he
replied. directing the conductor to take
a siding and wait for orders, and 1t
was not great while until he had
every train on the division sidetracked.
Then he took book. lighted his pipe
and sat down to wait for daylight. In
the morning the chief appeared. with
anxiety written all over his face.
ANY accidents. JohnnyY asked the
chief
mot an accident i've got 'em all on
the sidetrack. showed in and waiting
for orders. and you will have to get
'em out. | am going to blow this Job. y
1t took the chief and his force nearly
all day to get the trains Strengthened
out and traffic resumed on the road.

COAL TAR IN ROADMAKlNG.

Similar to Asphalt Pavement, but Of
More Resilient Character.
Revolution in highway construction
Is predicted by many road engineers,
but many others believe the successful
macadam method modified will be the
only innovation. In that event the tar
macadam method will surely be con-
sidered. A properly tarred road is
similar to an asphalt pavement. but Of
a more resilient character. The stone
is all bound together by the tar into .
smooth. firm surface, which can bo
swept and washed in much the same
manner as an asphalt pavement.
The main agencies which cause de-
terioration of tarred or oiled surfaces
are heavy rain. frost and the decaying
organic matter which accumulates on
the surface of the road. So far as can
be determined, one kind Of road with

tar is expected to prove a valuable
dust layer. and any extension of its
use is thought to lie in this direction.
The value Of coal tar in the preserva-
ton of macatam roads and as dust

in the majority Of cases the life Of
treated road has been materially
heightened. and by applying tar the

A great drawback in the standard

it is derived are never run with refer

cat. 1t lay down within few steps Of
1t. ready to spring.
The cat had observed it's enemy. but
beyond keeping Il sharp lookout on its
movements 1t made no sign. Shortly a
young fox joined the Old one and al

with its sharp claws that II retired IA
