OIL-AsPHALT TREATED ROAD.

other cities particularly in Europe, he
has evolved Il portable Oil-asphalt melt
ing aud huXing plant that will rcvolu-
tonic the work. The plant is the
first Of its kind in the world and will
attract the attention Of highway en-
einccrs throughout the United States.
Its cost is less than $1.2OO, and the
process to be used has been given Il
thorough test
Street Commissioner Travila in de
scribing the new apparatus and the
progress Of road Cling said:
The ol-asphalt melting and huxing port
able plant is new departure in machin-
cry for road treatment. After two years
experience with light ana heavy oils be-
came satisfied there was room for i'm
prOvement by adding asphalt to heavy OIL
for road treatment. and the result of this
INVESTIGATION has brou-ht about the con-
struction OF the portable plant
There is no subject today which is being
discussed more frequently than methods
of improviug our highways. The ouing Of
roads is maNiug considerable progress in
the United States with gool effect. but
much better results can be obtained by
the application Of a layer of hot ou-as-
phalt compound to the road surface. In
inns Way tI' ROAD HhSolbS lle mixture
and a'so forms a very solid coating and
a strong binder for the particles of sand
and the larger stone i'm the macadam
road, which carries the load
The dust which usually results from the
wear of the road disappears, and at the
same time the natural expense of keeping
up the road is diminished, which more
than compensates for the cost of the
process. This comes from the great re-
duction OF expense for sprinking a road
aud scrapiuS the mud as well as from the
sreat durability of the roadbed.
The cost per square yard for treating
the road by the new process will wary
from cents to If cents. depending ON
the amount of sand and asphalt used.
The plant consists of melting and agi-
tation kettle, an air pressure for fur
nishing compressed air for agitating
the oil-asphalt ana for forcing it from
the kettle to a sprinkling wagon; also
a steam pump rs an auxiliary for
pumping heavy oil from the tank car
to the melting kettle and Il steam boil
er for furnishing steam for the opera
ton of the air pressure and steam
pump.
The kettle has capacity Of 1850
gallons and is divided tranverSclY into
two equal parts, one compartment be
ing intended for melting and mixing
the oil-asphalt, the other for agitating
the oil-asphalt.
The method Of operation is: The oil
asphalt compound is put in the kettle
and the mixture melted and agitated
from the low pressure reservoir to the
required temperature and consistency,
when it Is drawn into the closed com
partment and then delivered to the
sprinkling wagon by means of an air
pressure. In the meantime another
batch is being heated and mixed in
the open compartment. one hours

tating 1850 gallons.-St. Louis Re

SWINGING THE ARMS.
The Habit a Relic of the Time When
Man Won't on All Eours

Sir Victor HOrsley, ecturing before
the Medical society of London, ex-
planned our habit of swinging the arms
when walking. which he stated was
quite unnecessary. as a relic of the
days when we walked on all fours.
Then we had to use arms as well as
legs. Although their use serves no
purpose when walking upright, we
still keep on moving all four limbs
alternately or in progression. Sir Vic
tor set forth some new facts concern
Ing the functions of the cerebellum
the mysterious and little understood
hind part of the brain.
Ordinarily the cerebelum must be
regarded" said the lecturer, "as a SEN
sorry organ which has an important
part in the correct performance Of
many of our automatic actions. Walk
ing. standing and running are good
examples of such actions, which can
not be accurately carried out without
a normal. well balanced cerebelum.
Newborn animals cannot stand. They
sprawl. and before they can stand,
walk or run they must acquire this
power. For conveniences in life this
ability to stand must be secured with
out the animal having consciously to
think what he is doing. The fully de-
veloped cerebcllum supplies this power
unconsciously."
In proof Of this Sir Victor pointed
out that the cercbellum of full
grown eat showed fully developed cells
and fbers. whereas in newborn kit
tens the brain in the cerebelar portion
is not yet organized into active nerve
