ROAD BUILDING EXPERIMENTS
Results of Tests Made Near Harris,
buro, Pa, of New Methods,

Important changes in the matter Of
constructing state highways are likely
to be made as a result of experiments
being conducted by the Pennsylvania
state highway department. These were
begun two years ago. when II became
apparent that under the stress of in
creasing automobile traffic the ordi-
nary standard macadam roads could
not be kept in first class condition
without expensive repairs.
The various experiments have been
made in the vicinity of Harrisburg. in
order to be frequently inspected. The
first was a piece of road built on what
is called the penetration system In
1905 Upon the usual foundation was
placed layer of crushed stone. half
the thickness of that ordinarily used
in macadam construction. and into
the interstices was poured an as
phaltic oil containing about 80 per
cent of asphalt. The surface of the
road was then covered with dry stone
screenings and the mass rolled. AL
though subjected to heavy traffic for
over a year, the road shows but little
evidence OF wear and Is ne ,rly dustless.
Two pieces of road closely resem-
bling the ordinary sheet asphalt pave

NIK0LA TESLA HAS
A NEW INVENTION.
Electrical Journal Says He Can Easily
Transmit Great Energy.

A new development OF a mechanical
principle upon which Nikola Tesla is
said TO have been laboring for some
years is described In the Electrical Re
view. This latest development In me-
chanics for which so much is claimed
by friends of the inventor is based on
the adhesion and viscosity of liquids
and gases and is said to afford a novel
means of generating and transmitting
mechanical power.
Dr. Tesla is very optimistic about
the results of his long experiments
ton, but will not discuss the matter
for publication. He expressed sur
prise that any one had heard of his
latest work before the appearance Of
his account of it in the electrical pub
lication.

The article describes a small steam
turbine recently exhibited in New
York "having a motor only nine and
three-quarter inches in diameter and
two inches wide" which is said to be
capable of developing 40 horsepower

immense variety of uses, and the COM

MOUNT ETNA IN
EVERY FOUR
Last Previous Serious Out
break Was In Janu-
airy, 1907.
rHE latest eruption of Mount

~uE latest eruption of Mount
Etna is considered the most
grave in years. 1t has been es-
timated that Etna's periods of
activity occur at intervals of four or
FIVE years, as rule, and as the last
serious eruption was in January, 1907,
the volcano may be said to be main
tanning its schedule. Although the dis
turbance of 1907 was pronounced, 1t
was by no means as destructive as the
great eruption of 1892 The most de-
structive previous outbreaks on record
occurred in 1169. 1863, 1893, 1892, 1879,
1856 and 1892.
There was a mild outbreak In May,
1908, and for a time the inhabitants
along the slopes and in nearby towns
were thrown into excitement, but Etna
subsidized after covering the country
side with smoke and ashes and was
not heard from again until March.

Eruption of 1907.
On Dec, 2S, 1908, at the time of the
Messina disaster, loud detonations
were heard, and volumes of smoke
rolled out of the crater. A panic arose
among the people of Catania, the near
est town to the volcano. but Profess
sOr RiccO, director of the observatory,
said that a great eruption was not eX-
pected. His views were confirmed by
Frank Ferret, assistant director of the
royal observatory on Mount Vesuvius,
who, after an inspection of Mount
Etna on April so, 1909, reported: THE
earthquake mt Messina has reduced its
activity and for the time being has
taken the energy necessary to create
an eruption. Reports that Mount Etna
was in eruption are untrue, as there
has been only a slight emission Of va
pOrs from the crater"
II was on Jan. o, 1907, that Mount
Etna awoke after period of inactiv-
ity since the eruption of 1899. Smoke,
ashes and flame arose from its sum-
NIT. which was covered with snow.
On Jan. 10. 1907, the volcano, at the
same time that the earthquake at
Kingston. Jamaica. occurred, became
more active. Professor RiccO said that
the fire openings inside the crater,
discovered i'm 1893, had increased in
size, but that only smoke and the re.
Election of fire could be seen. Ashes
were thrown out, and subterranean
detOnations were heard. On May s of
the same year the eruption became
more violent. The lava flow increased,
and the smoke was so abundant that
the whole atmosphere as far as Cata-
mia was thick with it. There were
severe earth shocks, and Professor
Ricco was apprehensive Of a great
eruption.

How Etna Spouts Fire.

Nothing could have looked more
