DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
How the Paving Value of Asphalt Was
Brought to Notice.

Brought to Notice.
All forms of bituminous pavements.
whether manufactured from natural or
artificial asphalt. are in fact artificial
stone pavements. The industry started
with the use of the natural rock as
phalt from the mines in the Val de
Travers, Canton Neufchatel. Switzer-
land. The mines were discovered In
1921, but it was In 1S49 that its utility
as road covering was first noticed.
The rock was then being mixed for the
purpose of extracting the bitumen con-
tanned in 1t for use In medicine and
arts 1t is a limestone found impreg-
mated with bitumen, of which it yields
on analysis from to IA per cent.
1t was observed that pieces of rock
which fell from the wagon were crush
ed by the weight of wheels, and under
the combined influence of the traffic
and heat of the sun a good road sur
face was produced. A macadam road
Of asphalt rock was then made which
gave very good results. and finally III
1854 portion Of the Rue Bergere was
laid in Paris of compressed asphalt on
a concrete foundation. In 1858 still
larger sample was laid. and from that
time it has been laid year by year in
Paris. From Paris 1t extended to Lon
don, being laid on Threadneedle street
in 1869 and Cheapside In 1870 and In
successive years on other streets, and
then its use In street and road making
extended to other countries. - Ex-

RACING PIGEONS.
Their Wonderful speed and Mysteries
Hominn Instinct.

Their Wonderful Speed and Mysteries
Homlnp instinct.
Racing pigeons are the neetest Of all
creatures. They have maintained a
speed of q mile and a half a minute
for a hundred miles. according to q
writer In Golfers. and they have
hown TOO miles between the rising and
the setting of the sun.
Pigeons have flown thousand miles
back to the home loft In 1904 a bird
covered that distance In days 2
hours Is minutes, proving how I'M
erring is the mysterious homing In
stinct that will drive pigeons across the
continent without swerving. But this
test is not true sport. The birds sim
ply hurl themselves against time and
space till they are played out. They
can never race again.
The racer rises into the air with
heavy, slow wing pulsations: then,
once poised over the starting point
there is swifter, shorter beat. and
the time is hit up to the third and
permanent wing rhythm, rapid and
steady as pulse beat. which carries
1t home.
Racers fly 300 feet high over land, but
low over water. Their enemies as they
fly are wind. rain, gunners and hawks.
They do all their flying between sun
rise and sunset. II caught out over
night they fend for themselves till
dawn.
The homing instinct is lifelong. Dur
ing the Franco Prussian war the Ger
mans caught homing pigeon which
was on it's way into beleaguered Paris
The bird was kept prisoner for ten
years. 1t was then released. 1t imme-
diately returned to its old home.

Recommendations BY
SANDS ARE ENDORSED
COMMISSION APPROVFS WATER
WORKS SUPERJNTENDENTS
PLANS AT MEETING

BY the action of the city commits
sion at its session yesterday morning,
superintendent b. II Sands of the
waterworks department was author
tied to make three Of the improve
ments in the plant which he recon-
mended to the commissioners at the
Tuesday meeting.
Superintendent Sands made six rec
concentrations for the expenditure of
100000 in bond money which is at
the disposal of the waterworks de-
partment Three Of them will be
carried out at once.
The first Of the recomma andauons
which viii be carried out is for the
purchase Of two 72-inch by is feet
, horizontal tubular boilers of the same
size. quality and material as the two
boilers now in use in the waterworks
plant, This increases the boiler room
capacity from 800 to 500 horsepower,
and Is approximately sufficient power
to pump in excess of eight million
GALLONS Of water a lay through the
high and low pressure service lifts.
The estimated cost of these two boil
RS erected Mt the waterworks plant
is TO be $3,10O.
The second recommendation IS for
the purpose OF one high duty, cross
compound condensing pumping en-
CINE tandem or opposed pipe, of n
capacity of four million galltns each
"a hours. This engine is of practic-
ally the same type as that now in
use at the waterworks plant. The
only change In the specifications is
that the new engine will have a lar
ger plunger diameter and higher
steam pressure, The first mention
ed change in the specifications have
been made because OF the reduced
"friction-head" by reason of larger
force main, and the latter because OF
ample boiler capacity. This will al
low pumping at a considerably lower
piston speel, and consequently insure
much longer life OF the pumping
engine" The cost Of this installation
Is estimated at $4,000.
The recommendation which will be
carried out is for the purchase OF
standard iron, bell and spigot pipes
and specials in accordance with the
follow y specifications;
Glass b pipe, 1900 feet OF 20 inch
pipe, $500 feet Of IA inch pipe, 5000
feet Of 6 inch pipe. Specials" Of ell
bows and reducing joints will be pur-
chased in ench OF the three sizes.
There will be 175 tons OF the 20 inch
pipe, 1914 tons Of the II inch pipe, and
$50 tons OF the G inch specials, and
16 tons Of 6 inch specials, will be pur-
chased.
Bids will also be received for uni
versal cast iron pipe, In accordance
TO specifications simlalr to those for
the bell and spigot pipe. The estl-
mated cost Of these 7S6 tons Of cast
iron pipe for service mains is $21,-
500.
