MACADAM ROAD.

An attempt is being made to build
a macadam road from Ashland to
Milwaukee, and recently Hon. Julius
Thielman of Merrill and Hon. r. G.
Thielman of Tomahawk were in Ash
land to see what could be done in the
matter. The Merrill News has the
the following to say in reference to
the plan:
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Thiel-
man is to have the state bear the ex.
pense of building the road and it is
his intention to send petitions to the
state legislature, asking that it pass a
law establishing the road and provide
for the original cost and maintenance
Efforts will be made to interest per-
sons along the proposed route-from
Ashland to MISUNDERSTANDING in Mer-
rill, Wausau, Tomahawk, Stevens
Point, Grand Rapids, Portage, Madi-
son and other cities in the Wisconsin
river valley. With the support OF
the people in these cities and the
farmers along the route, there appears
TO be no question as to the ultimate
outcome of the project.
The reasons for the establishment
of state road are numerous. In the
first place it would open Northerr
Wisconsin to the southern part of the
state. 1t would furnish good trans
portation facilities connecting every
city in the Wisconsin river valley.
Counties might build good roads con.
Meeting with the state road, thus fur.
nishing facilities for the transporta.
tion of produce to any city in the state
by team or motors. Another reason
is that in case of war with England
an invasion from Canada could be
frustrated even though the railroad:
were destroyed.
Ii is estimated that the cost would
be nominal considered with the vast
benefits 10 be derived. AT the present
time Ashland and other cities to the
north are isolated, except by railroad
which a state road would eliminate
and make these places easy Of acces:
by road.
Mr.. Thielman has been working out
the details of the plan for seyera
months, but it was only this weel
that he made his plans known.

Curio,itie, Of super.tition.

When Egypt was In the height OF
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted in being called
the mistress OF the land and sea. her
people worshIped a black bull There
was some discrimination. however.
even in this form OF worship. In order
to be an object Of mad alteration II was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot In the ex-
act center Of his forehead. and the
advent Of such a creature In any herd
was the signal OF wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
OF the Lybian desert. Even rs late as
the time OF Cleopatra. star eyed god
dess, glorious sorceress OF the Nile.
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal. Herodotus tells Of a man who
died with grief because he sold a COW
that soon after became the mother Of
black bull calf marked with the sacred
white circle In his forehead.

Lead Pencil Esperjmepts.

An English statisticlan was asked
how many words could be written
with an English lead pencil. and. be-
ing determined to answer It. he bought
lead pencil and SCOTS "Ivanhoe"
and proceeded to copy the latter word
by word. lie wrote D5.GOS words and
then was Obliged to stop. for the pen
ell had become so short that he could
not use H. A German statistlcian who
heard Of this experiment was dissat-
isfcd with II because all the lead In
the pencil was not used on the work.
and therefore he bought pencil and
started TO copy long German novel.
When the pencil was SO short that he
could not handle II with his fingers
he attached holder to II. and 1t Is
said that be wrote with this one pen
ell 100000 words. Possibly. however,
his pencil was longer or the lead In
II was OF n more durable quality.

THE DELUGE.
Queer Old Australian Tradition About
the Flood.

The aboriginal blacks Of Australia
! have a queer tradition about the food
They say that al one time there was
no water on the earth at all except in
the body Of an immense frog. where
men and women could not get at It
There was n great council on the sub
ject. and II was found out that II the
frog could be made To laugh the wa
the drought be ended.
So several animals were made to
dance and caper before the frog to in
duce him 10 laugh, but he did not even
smile, and so the waters remained in
his body. Then some one happened TO
think OF the queer cont0rtionS into
which the eel could twist itself and IL
was straightway brought before the
frog. and when the frog saw the wrig-
Cling he laughed so loud that the
whole earth trembled. and the waters
poured out Of his mouth in a great
food. in which many people were
drowned.
The black people were saved from
drowning by the pelican. This thought

with It among all the islands that ap
peared here and there above the sur
face Of the water and gathered in the
black people and saved them.

THE FIRST CLOCKS.
One at Psdus That Was q Wonder o.
Mechanism.


II was. We are told. In 1909 that the
first clock known TO the world was
placed in the tower OF San Eustorgio.
In Milan.
The greatest establishment and ad-
miration were manifested 10y crowds
who focked TO see the timepiece. In
1874 clock was installed In the pal
ace of the mobiles at Padua. This was
wonder Of mechanism indeed. for
besides indicating the hours IL showed
the course OF the sun. the revolutions
Of the planets. the various phases Of
the moon. the months and the fetes
Of the year.
The period OF the evolution from the
clock TO the watch was Seventy-one
years-nor so very long. all things con.
sidered-and the record OF the first
watch is 1890. a half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
| This. we are told. was looked upon
by the people OF that age as "un in
strument prodigieux."
The fortunate possessor Of this clock
was Andrea Alciato. a councillor OF
Milan The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded a
bell nj Il stated hour. and at the same
time little wax candle was lighted
automatically How this was done we
are not told. but II must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means Of obtaining a
