A Beach That Changes Color.

There is an island in the gulf OF
Mexico where the beaches change
color twice daily with the tides. When
uncovered the sands are purple. bt'
the inflowing waters quickly trans
form them to gold The name OF the
island is Snails' island. and this sup
plies the key to the remarkable phe
nomenon. The sands are really OF
golden color. and when the rising tide
spreads over the wide beach the gild
ed bits of earth glisten in the sun
light, but when the tide GIBBS the gold
en- sands are made purple by myriads
of tiny purple snails crawling In the
wake of the ebbing tide. AS the tide
recedes the purple becomes deeper as
millions of these little snails come
from the wet sand in search OF food
moving with remarkable rapidity.

ment. In such cases the unstable na-
terial should be removed and replaced
with gravel or sand. and wherever
practicable the earth subgrade should
be thoroughly rolled. preferably with
steam roller, and made to conform III
crown or Gambler to the surface of til"
finished road. Sandy subsrades may ha
improved by the use of thin layer Of
clay or soil.
There are two forms of drainage eS
sential in road building. 0) surface
drainage and (2) subdrainage. There
are three essential points to be con
sidcred In connection with surface
drainage. a. The surface of the road
should be of such Il shape that waite,
will quickly drain from it TO tie side
bitches: (2) the side bitches should lie
adequate in size to carry. without
overflow. the maximum rainfall. and
they should be of such depth and
grade that water will travel easily to
low points on the read, and e, from
the low points there should be suitable
outlets to convey the water to the
| natural drainage Of the country
Water should never be permitted to
remain under a macadam road; con
sequently subdrainage must he resort
ed to at times. Water softens the
| foundation. allows the broken stone tc
lie forced into it by the traffic. and in
| freezing it expands and dislodges the
broken stone. destroying the bond
! There are several ways of removing
| the subsurface water. a. by raisin.

broken stone. with Il pipe five or 81,
inches in diameter near the bottom. 4

or culvert is carried under the road il

Another type Of subdrain tha; i
much used in Massachusetts is the "
drain 1t consists in shaping the sub
drain in the form of ~" The ang

is filled with coarse stone up t" th
foundation grade and has frequent sid
outlets. This type is rather expriisiN
and very frequently can he dispense
with by raising the Subgradr wit
suitable sand. gravel or clay
Another type Of drain PRACTICAL to
side hill locations is a subsde drain
located on the upper side of the roa
to intercept and provide an outlet fo
surface and ground water before
reaches the road proper.
Great care should be used in properi
grading road.
The practice in America is general'
to place the maximum grade at ) p'
cent for important roads. as il hor>

city and w. r. Moore of Moline, and
the latter two are Judge r. w. Ohm
sted and ]. l.. Haas, both of Rock Is
