Direct distillation is the most salts
factory way of making perfumery.
The still is a simple affair. and it can
be made out of articles found in the
average home. Take an ordinary tin
oil can, scour it and purify it of all oil
odors. Stop the spout completely and
fit cork in the top. through which the
oil is poured. From hardware store
get four feet of copper tubing (tin or
galvanized iron pipe may also be used.
The tube should be bent downward at
the ends.
The tin can should be filled with a
pound of flower petals gathered fresh
in the early morning Pour over these
petals eight fluid ounces of alcohol.
Then put the can in a saucepan half
filled with water and place on stove
where the water can be kept at the
boiling point. A hole should be cut
through the cork Of the can just large
enough to receive the metal tube.
Place quart jar on table near by
and insert in it the other end of the
tubing. This jar should not be sealed.
Or distillation wili4net gaagpA properly
When the water boils the alcohol in
the can is heated. and this process ex-
tracts the perfume from the flower
petals and gradually causes distillation
through the tube into the cold jar on
the table. The alcohol thus distilled
will carry with it the true altar of the
flowers. Alcohol has peculiar prop
erty of extracting and holding the
scent of flowers. AS fast as GiStilla-
tion goes on the contents of the jar
should be emptied into glass bottles
and securely corked and sealed with
paratfin. In blending perfumes of sew
eral flowers do the mixing after each
one has been distilled separately. DO
not mix the flowers in one still.

HIGHWAYS TOO WIDE.
Those of Germany Compared to Roads
of the West

1t is argued that as a general thing
and particularly in the west the roads
of the United States are too wide.
The west and Germany are compared
in this respect. 1t is pointed out that
while in Germany. where the traffic is
enormous. the highways are but twen-
ty and twenty-one feet. in the west.
where thertraffic is comparatively light
and land worth 500 an acre. the road
ways are from fifty to sixty feet in
width. three-fourths of which grows
up in weeds and grass
1t can hardly be said, however. that
the roads are too wide in the eastern
states.
Mountain travellers especially will
smile at the idea of wide roads in
reading of the subject. having many

travellers far from the wide place."

One That Will Make Best Use
Of Material at Hand.
PLAN OF BUILDING MACADAM.
II Satisfactory Ideas Of Dust Proven
ton Are Developed Roads Of This
Material Will Continue to Be Ex-
tensiveIy Used-Don't Let the Ex-
pense Exceed Funds Available.

During the :caeting of the Ohio En-
gineering society at Columbus the fol-
lowing paper was read by James C.
Winders, state highway commissioner,
on ''The Proper Type of Roads,"
Road building is largely local
problem. and the proper type of road
to build Is that which will make the
best use of the material at hand to
produce satisfactory road surface
and at an expense not exceeding the
money available.
In the earliest extensive road i'm
provements in Ohio the problem was
solved by using gravel for the wearing
surface, and this early work was prac-
tically confined to the region where an
abundance of gravel could be found
This region was principally in the cen
tral and southern part of the west half
Of the state and embraced about one
third of its area. l have known of
some instances where gravel was
shipped by rail for road work, but it
was too expensive, considering the
type of construction, and the practice
was never extensive. A large amount
of this work was built, probably fif-
teen or twenty thousand miles.
At the time of their construction
these roads were undoubtedly the
proper type, as the cost Of the work
came within the means Of the farmers
who paid for them. These roads in
the best form of their construction,
when new and .n good repair. pro-
vided an admirable surface for public
travel. and at present there are many
of them which can hardly be exce,led
by the more modern construction.
The majority of these roads present
III their present condition one of the
most important problems of todays
road work. On account of lack of suf-
ficient repairs large part of the mile
age is practically worn out. Owing to
the exhaustion of the gravel supply in
a considerable part of this territory
the resurfacing of many of these roads
has been done with crushed stone. and

SPOT Weldino,

A kind of electric riveting has recent
ly developed and is claimed to give re-
suits usually much stronger than join
ing with iron or copper rivets. The
process is known as spot welding. The
metal plates to be joined are placed in
position. and on pressing the electrodes
against any desired point the plates
are almost instantly fused and perma-
nently united at that point. The elec-
trodes are moved from place to place,
supplying perfect union instead of riv-
citing. The process is rapid and seems
to be satisfactory where water tight
joints are unnecessary.

Starters of Good Roads,

If highways are an evolution from
the primary paths made by animals
and men. the first roadmakers did not
make their paths straight certainly.
and many road today is Il monument
to the leaders in roadmaking of the
long ago. Nevertheless it is said that
some animals, the buffalo especially.
were pretty fair engineers. They had
an eye for grade, which cannot be said
of some of their successors. In the
west engineers hunting pathways for
railroads are said to have largely fol-
lowed buffalo trails.
