Iron Road PayementS.

In the last few years decided
improvements have been made IN
highway construction. The de-
velopment of automobile has done
much to further new discoveries
in road making. The French
have begun the use of a paving
material consisting of iron shaw
ings or iron excelsior embedded
in concrete. The metallic shaw
ings come in sheets or masses,
which are broken apart with diff
fculty, owing to the INTERVIEWING
OF the filaments, and which are
somewhat elastic, In the con-
struction OF paying blocks a mold
is filled with these iron shavlngS
and the lnterstices are filled with
cement sufficiently fluid to pene-
traite the entire mas. The
blocks thus formed possess great
strength and resistance to abra-
sion. They are also elastic UNI
der blows or jaring. They have
a resistance to compression Of
about one hundred and fifty
thousand pounds to a square
inch, and a tensile strength four
times that of cement. The cost
of construction is the same as
that of ordinary nacadanI.

up the street, a few yards in the rear.
He trailed her into another downtown
store, and, as she was standing beside
counter In the midst of a crowded
array Of bargain seekers, approached
her, calmly winding his thread and po-
litely said:

Bearded Ladies'"

M. Brandt, a Danish professor,
col..-s to the conclusion that bearded
ladies in time to come will be the or
der of the day. Ladies with boards
who are now to be seen may be re-
garded as the precursors Of the future
race, and the professor comes to the
conclusion that the more masculine
woman becomes in her habits SO much
the more will she be in appearance.
He does not think that bearded ladies
will become general until at least two
centuries have elapsed. His investi.
cations show that the number of wo-
men with traces of mustaches, al
though clearly visible, increases but
slowly. The Paris contemporary from
which we take the foregoing suggests
that the professor has missed the
great point which he might have made
and that is that as the number Of
men who shave increases daily it
would follow that women would en-
deavor to grow boards from sheer
perversity.

A Bird Census.

Did you ever hear of a bird
|census-a census of all the birds
in the United States ? One
would think that the result would
be bout as uncertain as the
count of chickens before they are
Matched. Nevertheless, the De-
partment of Agriculture is tax
ing a census OF the birds and
their habits. 1t is estimated
that there are 1,4l4,000,0OO of
them, which would give us only
about seventeen birds apiece.
But the department is studying
the birds to find out how they
help or hurt crops, with a view
to diminishing those that injure,
and increasing those that help
by destroying the insects which
so seriously injure grains and
fruits.

IT CURES
orderIiness Is Bio Asset.


To teach children habits Of neatness,
system and order is to insure some de-
gree, at least, Of success. Yet they
are often brought up amid disorder
and confusion, allowed to throw things
down just where they use them and to
form slovenly and slipshod habits.
They are not taught to put things
where they belong, and consequently
they grow up shackled with handi-
caps which they can rarely throw off
If there is any delusion in the world
1t is that doing ''things just for now"
dropping things wherever one may
happen to be temporarily, saves time.
On the contrary. this is great time
,waster and a great demoralizer Of
character. A bad habit not only tends
~ repeat itself, but to increase the
zandency in that direction.

ALFALFA NOTES.

Mr.. Willis Wing. of Msskaf
icsburg. Ohio, is a large grow
of alfalfa and a well-lSnown
thority upon its culture. On Ii
special train recently operate
by the College of Agriculture
through Eastern Virginia Mr..
Wing created great interest IN
alfalfa all along the line. AT
several points excellent fields OF
alfalfa were found. At keyser.
Mr.. v. F. Alkire brought on
large bunch OF extra fine, heavy
alfalfa, and at Kearnysville MIR.
Wing inspected 90 acres which
he declared was as fine as any
found in Ohio.
"You say this is not an alfalfa
country" said he. We'll, have
you tried it-tried it carefully!
They said the same thing IN
Ohio years ago and the men at
the university said it would prob
ably grow only IN favored sec
tions, but it is now grown sue
cessfully on many an Ohio farm.
| know a man in Virginia who
thought he had failed to grow ii
who is now establishing nearly
1000 acres. You can grow al
falfa here in West Virginia as
well as anywhere in the east.
LET us compare alfalfa with
corn," said Mr.. Wing, for you
all know what corn is worth to
you. To-day you can trade
baled alfalfa for ear corn, bushel
for brshel and pound for pound.
With three cut. ngs of alfalfa
you should get 4 tons per acre,
which is equivalent to 120 bushels
of corn per acre.
This is an exceptional year
We have had a severe drouth
and forage is scarcer than in 40
years, but the man who has al
falfa is not complaining. While
4 tons to the acre from three cut
tings, he is getting $50 per acre,
often as much as his land would
sell for.
Alfalfa is more often injured
by cutting too early than from
cutting too late. Make only one
good cutting the first year. The
second year do not NOW oftener
than every 45 days. If grass
appears in a new stand after it i:
about six months old, take {
spring-tooth harrow, sharpen the
teeth, and go over it thoroughly
after the first cutting.

WHERE PLATINUM IS FOUND
Rare Metal In Small Quantities usss
ally Is Associated With Gold
In Gravel Beds.

Platinum Is found associated with
gold, principally in gravel beds. The
ordinary source is accumulations OF
gravel which have been eroded from
extensive area and gradually concen-
trated In one locality by the continued
action of water. It is a rare metal
and the accumulation must be from a
great extent of country If a paying
deposit is to be developed.
Platinum Is of q silver gray color
which is rarely furnished. Its devol
opment is similar to gold. except that
where gold is usually associated with
quartz and light colored rocks plat
mum will be found more commonly
with dark colored rocks. and espe-
cially those of greenish shading.
It Is found only in small quantities,
except at two or three localities. West
ern Colombia and eastern Russia have
gravel beds which afford the princi-
pal supply of this metal. Elsewhere
1t is found over considerable areas.
but not sufficiently concentrated to be
Of Importance. It may be looked for
among the formations adjacent to re-
gions of old volcanic activity.
The distribution is principally in al
tered rocks. and segregation seems to
have been the principa. cause con-
tributing to its collection in ore
bodies. The deposits found up to the
present time have been of irregular
naturalization and not of great ex-
tent, consequently all platinum de-
posits must be considered with eau
ton.
Of the rare metals associated with
platinum, iridium. osmium, palladium
and others, little need be said because
of their rarity. If found they will be
associated with platinum and will be
known by the greater hardness,
brighter surface and greater specific
gravity.-Moody's Magazine.
