from the loin, so named, apparently,

porter house and eating house where
chops, steaks. ETC., and porter or stout

"a steak grilled between two other

The Lotus Flower.

Poets and noyelists alike have given
mythical texture and color to the lotus.
The elder Dumas spoke of a lotus flow
er pure white and with petals as deli
cate as fine muslin" Nor did the an
clients treat the matter with more
truth. Herodotus spoke Of the lotus
as of a plant which habitually de-
scended below the surface of the wa
ter at sunset to return to view only
with the temperance Of the sun The
lotus known to modern man goes be-
low the surface Of the water, like all
nymphaeas, when its beauty and its
freshness have passed and when the
time has come to ripen its seed pod
Then by the law Of life it closes its
corolla and goes away from the air
and the sunshine down into the water
to prepare for the future of it's family.
It goes at the time when the sun sets,
but 1t does not reappear. When it
goes down as an individual it Is gone
forever. The petals described by Du-
mas as being "as white as the SHOWS
Of Himalaya" are not pure white, nor
,an anything be called with justice
las white as the lotus flower" be-
cause lotus flower may be red or
blue as we'll as white.-Harper's

Lord Brougham's Dream.

Lord Brougham was one of the most
stubborn believers In the common
sense" explanation of ghostly appear
ances as dreams. At Edinburgh uni
Eersity he and an intimate friend drew
up an agreement written with their
blood that whichever Of them died first
should appear to the survivor. Years
passed. the friend was in India, and
Brougham had almost forgotten his
existence. Arriving late one night at
IN inn in Sweden, Brougham had hot
path, and was going to get out of it
when he locked toward the chair on
which he had left his clothes and saw
ais friend sitting on it Brougham
seems then to have tainted. On get
ing home he received a letter an
bouncing that the other had died in
india at the very time. Yet this Incl
lent, which most people would put
down to telepathy. at least. was dis
missed by Brougham as a mere dream
md pure coincidence.

EXPERIMENT WITH A
SAND AND OIL ROAD.
One Highway at Falmouth, Mass,
Standing Traffic Well.

Macadam roads have now found
their way into many localities where
there is little or no stone. This scar
ity of stone and the resulting high
cost Of macadam would naturally sug-
gest the question, Is there local ma
terial available that is suitable for the
construction of a highway that will
withstand modern traffic? This ques-
ton seems to be answered, at least in
localities where sand is plentiful by
the construction of the sand oil road
During the summer of 1910 a road
was constructed in Falmouth. Mass.
and at present it's wearing qualities
are attracting much attention. The
road is the main thoroughfare con-
Meeting Falmouth with lower Cape Cod

SECTION OF THE ROAD BEFORE BEING RE
PAIRED.


summer months. 1t is located in a
sandy stretch, where the scarcity of
stone and the distance from a railroad
would have made q macadam road
very costly. While the entire length
of this sand oil road cannot be termed
a success, still certain portion shows
that sand mixed with a suitable bind
er will afford surfacing that will
withstand modern traffic and do away
with the dust nuisance
The surfacing is a mixture OF sand
and asphaltic oil, and while the meth
cd of construction was the same
throughout, various kinds Of Oil were
used with different results. Where
the lighter oils were used it took a
longer time for the road to become
hard, and in some places the surface
was never hard during the heat of the
day. But where the thicker and more
viscOus binder was used the surface
became hard and firm and could be
opened to traffic in about six hours.
The road was graded as for ordinary
macadam. and the sandy subgrade was
hardened with about three inches of
clayey loan. after which it was shaped
and rolled and was then ready for the
sand-oil mixture.
The work was performed by a con-
tractor. It was found necessary in
order to obtain the best results to heat
both the sand and the oil. The con-
tractors plant was composed Of six
ovens used for heating sand, four 100
gallon kettles for heating the oil, two
horse roller and the ordinary hand
tools.
Many ways for mixing the sand and
oil were tried, but it was finally decid-
ed that the following was the quickest
and gave the best results: A bottom
less measuring box that would hold
fifteen cubic feet was placed on the
platform, and while one man contin-
ually shoveled in sand from the front
Of the oven another dipped oil from an
Oil carrier. Two men, one at each end
of the box, constantly raked the sand
and oil. After about fifteen cubic feet
of sand and ten gallons of oil were
mixed the box was lifted and the
whole mass was turned with shovels
until each particle of sand was coated
with oil and the mixture was black.
The road is now one year old, and
the maintenance cost of the successful
portion has not exceeded that Of a
new macadam road A sample taken
from this part Of the road shows that
hard crust has formed on the outer
surface. The rest Of the sample shows
that the binder is still adhesive and
has not become brittle.
The success of this part of the road
shows that If sand is mixed with a
proper binder it will make a surfacing
that is cheap, durable and dustless
and will probably become the most
popular road surface in sandy dis
tricts, where a scarcity Of stone and
the distance from freight depots would
prevent successful macadamizing.
