It. In day or two the road is thrown
open to use, and travel soon makes the
surface smooth and gives 1t the ap-
pearance Of asphalt. The cost OF
treatment is about 4 cents per square
yard for the single treatment, and one
treatment is good for two or three sea-
sons, depending upon the amount and
character Of travel and traffic.
The quantity of oil placed upon a
street or highway is determined by
the amount which viii be completely
absorbed by the top dressing, which

customary to cover the road or street
with a coating Of dust or sand before
applying the oil, but 1t requires more
oil to bind such surface coating and
prevent It being ground up by traffic.

CAT OPENED GAS BURNER

Women,

New York, July 21.-If Margaret
Henry and her sister Helen had not
grown so fond of cats in their old age
Margaret would be alive today, and
Helen would not be dying in a hospi-
tai from asphyxiation by gas.
Sister Margaret was Sc, and Sister
Helen rs. Neither had ever married
and they lived together in Brooklyn
fiat with four cats. Tuesday night
when they went to bed they left a
plate of food on top of the gas stove.
The gas was turned off at the bur
ner, but turned on at the wall, and
the rubbed tube from the cock to the
burner passed near the plate. In
jumping for the food one of the cats
tore the tube from the cock and gas
flooded the apartment. The over
turned plate of food partially eaten

LUTHER BURBANK NETTLED
Denounces Agriculture Department in
Spineless Cactus Controversy

SpineIess Cactus Controversy
San Francisco, July 21.--Luther
Burbank, the plant wizard, has issued
at Santa Rosa a pamphlet which will
make the United States Department
of Agriculture take notice. Burbank
scores officials of the Department
for sending out tons of Just as
good as Burbank" spineless cactus,
which he calls ancient trash such as
builders of the pyramids might have
cultivated
His opinion OF his own achieve
ments is disclosed in the introduction
in which he speaks OF them as the
most valuable improvements in veg
etable life during centuries, fully
equal in Importance to the discovery
of new continent"
Experts in the Government service
at Washington are called "lowbrowed
narrow gagged and pinheaded EN-
poyees who have TO keep shouting to
hold their places and who are largely
responsible for trash so-called spine
less cactus distribution"
Burbank tells of the efforts Of the
Agricultural Department to find a
spineless cactus and the large sums
expended in securing the earth in a
futile search. He denounces David
Griffith of the Department, who wrote
bulletin on the cactus and belittled
the work of Burbank, which he says
cost him years and thousands of dol
lars. He closes by announcing that
henceforth his experimental farm will
be closed to the public as he can't
afford any longer TO have his work
impeded by visitors, most Of whom
are merely attracted by curiosity.
