Studying Road Binders.

\ Washington, Dec. 3.-As a
/ large part of the road work in
. this country seems destined to
] be effected by the use of tars in
road treatment and construction,
/ a systematic Investigation of the
| effect of various constituents
upon the adaptability of tars as
| road-binders is now being made
/ by the good roads division OF the
| department of agriculture. The
department has PREPARED a mon
I ograph on the effect Of naphtha-
| lene upon the consistency OF re-
; fined tars. While definite con-
i illusions are not announced, the
results strongly indicate four de-
! terminate facts. as follows:
5 That the fuxing value Of naph-
] thalene for tar pitches is some
what greater, although quite
similar, to the heavier naphtha-
+ lene free tar distillates, until the
/. mixture becomes satuated with
naphthalene.
That for the harder tar pitches
the addition of very small per-
centages of naphthalene will
produce a marked increase in
fuidity of the resulting prod
uct.
That for the softer pitches the
addition of n~aphthalene in small
quantities causes less increase in
huidity than.for the harder pitch
es.
That where naphthalene is ad-
ded beyond the point of satur-
alton a rapid decrease in the iu-
idity Of tars at temperatures
below the melting point OF nap
thalene is observed, but at tenn
peratures above its melting
point the fuidity continues to in
crease.

An egg of the great aux, or
care fowl, a bird now extinct,
was sold at auction in LONDON
for a sum equivalent to $1,000.
Not all great auk's eggs are
alike. In length they vary from
four and one eighth inches to
five inches. The greater num-
Der found have a white ground,
but others are of various shades
of buff. In some cases the mark.
ings are spots, shown in blotch-
es or lines.
It is said that no living aux has
been seen since 1874. The birds
were exterminated by the ruth
less traffic in their eggs and
SKINS, although their numbers,
on the Newfoundland and Lab
rador coasts, where once they
were very numerous. were CREST
ly reduced by their wholesale
slaughter for food.
Many misconceptions have
survived as to the great aux.
which for years has been regard
ed as a sort of tabled bird, like
the roc or the dodo. or Lewis
Carroll's famous "jub-jub." II
size the creature did not differ
much from the tame goose, and
it's title of great was given it
to distinguish it from the smaller,
or razor billed aux.
The most remarkable charac
teristic of the great aux was its
inability to fly. Its winge were
sc rely more than fins, which
aided the bird in swimming.

Petition For Pardon.

To His Excellency, Gov. E. F. Noel. Governor OF
Mississippi
We, the undersigned citizens of Lee county,
Mississippi, most respectfully request your Elk
cellency to grant a pardon to William w. Blay-
lock, who was convicted of murder at the Aug
ust Term, 1908. of the Circuit Court of Lee
county, Mississippi. and given q life sentence in
the State penitentiary.
We are Informed that this man has made a
good faithful pris oner while in prison and that
his health is failing and is now in the hospital for
treatment. This prisoner has in this county a
wife and several small children that are in des-
titute circumstances and are in need of the as
istance and protection of the husband and father.
We further believe that said prisoner has been
sufficiently punished for the crime with which
he was charged, if any he has com mitted, about
which we have very grave doubts.
Respectfully submitted, :
