THE MODEL ROAD.

The model road between Jean
erette aud New Iberia is taking
on a splendid appearance. Con
tractor Howard Egleston has been
badly handicapped by the long
spell of rainy weather but is now
making rapid progress snrfarinl
the road. He has the stretch be
tween Fortier's and I;ussry's com
pletei and it certainly looks al
right.
The perfect drainage provided
for this road should be worth ;
great deal as an object lesson il,
future road building There has
never been ANYTHING done like i,
in all the rOaGmaklng IN the Par
ish heretofore. The beneficial If
fects Of thorough drainage is very
apparent: That part of the roa.
which is not yet surfaced and now
being used is hard and dry with
ont Il rut or hole in it-.)eanerett,

OUR BIGGEST
BATTLESH|P,

The one battIeslip authorized
by Congress will be considerably
larger even than our latest ships
Her displacement will probably
work out at between 10000 and
81, 600 tons. Dispatches from
Washington state that the length
of the ship over all will be consid
eTably over GOO feet, the beam
about 9S feet. She is to carry
twelve 14-inch guns or two more
than the "Oklahoma" and "Neva
da." The armor of the "Pennsyl
vanfa," as she will be named, will
probably be not less than 1G inches
on the cit, turrets and barbettes.
Her side armOr will be placed in
deep. horizontal strips, and the
base of her single smokestack will
be heavily arlnored. Scientific
