Oil Cheaper Than Water.

According to the figures given out
by the commissioner of public works
Of Rhode Island, 1t cost less last year
to lay the dust on the highways by the
use of oil than 1t cost to attempt to
do so by the use of water in previous
years. The total figures which We're
made public give about $1,000 in favor
of the oil
But it will be very generally admit
ted that the advantage in other ways
is so much greater that had the money
cost for the oil been greater every one
in the city would have approved the
policy of the highway department. OF
course the cost of oil is greater than
the cost Of water, but the saving is in
the matter of labor.
One man with wagon and pair OF
horses can keep only small section OF
the city sprinkled with water. while
that same outfit. having gone over a
stretch of street with oil. is not re-
quired to visit that particular place
again for weeks.

ENGINEERS IN ROAD BUILDING
Reduction Of Grades ls Important
Economy.


The reduction of grades is an i'm
portant factor in the economy Of i'm
proved roads. Careful experiments
and tests in this and other countries
have shown that If horse can draw
1000 pounds on level he can draw
only 800 pounds UP grade of ! per
cent, 500 pounds up Il grade of per
cent, 400 pounds up grade of 5 per
cent and 300 pounds up a grade of 10
per cent; hence it will be seen that
on a 10 per cent grade Il horse can
draw only one-fourth the load he can
draw on q level. For Il short time Il
horse can exert about twice his aver
age pull, so that short, steep inclines
are by no means as great a hindrance
to traffic as long hills of slighter grade
Many of the heavy long grades have
resulted from the belief that going up
one side of hill and down the other
lessons distance. The fallacy of this
is shown by the example Of the buck
ct pail, which IS no longer when in a
horizontal position than when vertical.
Many public roads have been located
in haphazard fashion, and it will be
found that an experienced engineer can
obtain a much superior location and at
the same time reduce distance, both of
which, like the lowering of grades. con
stitute considerable economies result
ing from improving the roads.

WANT MEN TO PATROL
HIGHWAYS OF THE STATE.
Town Superintendent Of New York
Apply For a Thousand Men.

At state conference of town super
intendents of highways held recently
at Binchamton. y. Y. which was adj
dressed by state highway officer, from
all parts of the state. Il project was
launched for appointing 1000 patrolmen
on the highways of the state.
The plan is to have these men sep
arate from the town superintendent
and to Go work similar to that of the
good roads patrolmcn. 1t is figure !.
that this can be done at a cost of So
and maintenance of horse and suit
able wagon by some competent resi-
dent Of each town. The work will last
about seven months of the year, the
patrolman being paid by the month
and not by the hour.
His duties would be to patrol all the
roads Of the town and wherever he
finds it necessary to make repairs, such
as replacing planks in bridges. filling
in ruts, picking stones, repairing cul-
verts. etc. The present system pro-
vides that this work shall be done by
gang of men and team, who are
often sent out to the farthest corners
Of the town, taking about half day
to get there and often being compelled
to make several trips on this account.
1t is figured that the patrolmen will
not increase the expense, but will pro-
vide a system for keeping the roads
in better condition. 1t Is believed
that 1000 patrolmen will be appointed
under this plan during the year.

CALIFORNIA ROAD.
Fine Stretch Between FL Monte and
Pomona.


Pomona.
Without doubt as fine q stretch of
country road as can be found in the
United States is that now nearing COM
pletion between Ell Monte and Pomona
under one of the contracts Of the good
roads project. In fact, it probably ex-
GELS any rural road in any other part
of the country. as 1t is built by proc
ess that has only recently been per
fected and tried in Germany.
After the roadway is graded and all
depressiOns filed the earth is packed
hard with a steam roller. and then
layer of crushed rock is laid on it. the
pieces averaging several inc hes square
On this is spread layer of consider
ably finer rock. and then comes third
and last layer of very fine rock
These are pressed firmly together
with heavy steam roller and then
thoroughly saturated with crude petro-
leum. Lastly. the roadbed IS covered
with layer of rock dust as fine as
powder and then smoothed and packed
many times again with the steam roll
er. The result is road as smooth
and firm as any asphalt paved city
street and one that with little care
is practically indestructible.

THE ORIGIN OF ROCKS.
How csolesists Divide the Three Gen.
erai Glasses.

The geologist divides rocks into
three general classes -igneOuS rocks.
originating from the molten magma
forced upward from the bowels of the
earth, such as granite and the various
lavas; sedimentary rocks. consisting OF
disintegrated particles of the igneOus
rocks which have been reformed into
rocks themselves. such AS sandstone.
and metamorphic rocks. consisting of
igneous or sedimentary rocks whose
composition has been greatly changed
by intense heat. chemical action Or
other causes-as. for instance. a lime
stone that has been changed to mar
BILE.
Sedimentary rocks. as stated in the
geologic atlas of the United States
geological survey. are usually made
up of layers or beds which can be
easily separated. These layers are
called strata. and rocks deposited in
such layers are termed stratitied. The
surface of the earth IS not immovable.
Over wide regions it very slowly rises
or sinks with reference to the sea. and
shore lines are thereby changed. AS a
result of upward movement marine
sedimentary rocks may become part
of the land. and most Of our land
areas are, in fact, occupied by rocks
originally deposited as sediments in
the sea.
Sandstone is perhaps the simplest
example of sedimentary rock. Obvi-
ously sandstone was once sand. and
again each grain of sand was once a
part of some older rock. This sand
was first eroded and then deposited
and either subjected to great pressure
by everything masses perhaps thou
sands Of feet thick or cemented to-
gether by chemical solutions. Where
the stone was formed by simple pres
sure it contains large proportion of
open spaces and thus becomes an ideal
water bearer. Some sandstones will
carry as much as six quarts Of water
to the cubic foot of stone. In other
varieties the interstices may have been
filed with cementing material so that
the rock may be for all practical pur-
poses almost as dense as granite.

WHERE DRAINAGE is GOOD
YOU FIND GOOD ROADS.
Not Simply Surface Should Be Drain.
ed, but Entire Foundation.

Drainage may be said to be the most
needed condition for permanent good
roads. not simply drainage of the road
surface. which is very important, but
a proper and complete drainage of the
entire roadbed and foundation, this in
such a manner that there would not
be any standing water in the roadside
bitches to seep back under and soften
the roadbed.
We are all familiar with the manner
In which railroad keeps its roadbed
drained-by means Of lateral bitches on
each side of the roadbed. dug with q
grade sufficient to carry the water lat
orally to some intersecting ravine, creek
or other natural drainage way. AS ap-
piled to highway construction the lat
eral drainage would be largely by
means of open bitches at the roadsides,
WITH in some cases, a covered drain of
some suitable material in places where
the necessary grades were lower down
from the top surface than would be
best or advisable for open bitches
This would mean the working out
carefully Of the contours not only for
the highway, but Of practically the
whole drainage basin affected in order
that size, depth Of bitches and location
Of outlets could all be balanced so that
the maximum Of results could be OBJ
tanned with the minimum Of labor and
cost.
The proper drainage system would
be governed largely by the area of the
basin, contour Of surface, character Of
soil and location Of outlets, and this is
twofOld advantage to the farmers-at
least to many Of them.
There are hundreds Of farms all or a
part of which would be greatly bene-
fitted by tile drainage, but in many cases
the work cannot be done because they
have no available outlet. Drainage
work as outlined above would give
general knowledge Of the entire drain
age basin and would in a majority of
cases provide the farmer with an out
let in one Of the highway bitches for
his tile drainage. In most cases the
benefits to be derived from the oppOr-
tunity to have an outlet for a tile drain
age system would be as great If net
greater than those resulting from i'm
proved highways.

Yhome is near Hope Station, on the
Southern railroad. His death was
by typhoid fever, which took a firm

trained nurse was with him, and she,
together with loving hearts, did all
they could. In spite of all the brave
efforts to save his life, his strength

He was buried the next day after his
death at St. Johns church, Lexington

Alva Hope lived at the old homestead
with his young wife and his mother,
and was a prosperous farmer and
popular citizen. For time he was a

many friends, who can not yet realize
his death. He was a member of the
Lutheran church at Peak, S. c., and at
the time of his death was serving his
Master as an officer in his church.
Durinor the last few years Of his life
he was active in the church, and use
full. He was supporter of two con-
sregations, and was about to become a
supporter of another as we'll, at all OF
which places he worshipped. He was
2 member of one, his wife belonged to
another, and they lived close to the
third church, where he was buried.
He said he helped to support all the
churches he attended, because he did
not want to get something for moth
ing. He wanted to pay what he could
