 The Mechanics are still seeking an outfielder but Manager McCann is finding it hard to land good man. Players who are with independent clubs don't want to change at this time of the season.

Many animals are born with an in

The excessive fear shown by young
rabbits which for the first time smell a

proved examples Of the strength of
these instructive antipathies. But the

more to be noticed because of the
greater equality of the antagonists.

IDEAL TYPE OF

A Combination Highway to Be
Tried In New Jersey.
GOOD UNDER ALL CONDITIONS
r. A. Meeker, State Highway Engineer,
Has Novel Plan For Making Service

Materials-Would Be Cheap.

The question is being asked on every

our country roads. especially those that
are subjected to a mixed motor and
horse drawn trafiicY
The answer to the question embraces
several factors. Tl>ese may be sum
married. under three general heads
viz, utility. durability and cost. The
most useful pavement is best described
by the phrase coined at the close of the
eighteenth century by the trainers of
the original turnpike acts-that is, it
must be smooth. hard and convenient
for travel mt all seasons of the year.
A pavement that meets these require
ments leaves nothing to be desired.
In New Jersey we have an abun-
dance of good road material in certain
sections, while in others 1t is lacking
The gravel in some portions Of south
Jersey makes an excellent road for
nine months of the year If the travel
is not too heavy. The trap and dolo
mite of the central and northern sec
lions make a good road at all seasons,
but they have two bad qualities-one
that they become dusty in dry weather.
the other that they break up and rut
under heavy travel. To combat these
two evils various bitumens have been
used and the results, when the proper
materials were employed, have been
satisfactory. except that the surface is
slippery in cold weather.
10 overcome this objection 1t is pro
posed to build our trunk lines as fol-
lows: Pave the twelve feet in the center
of the road with mixture of stone
and asphalt and on each side of this
lay a plain macadam pavement four
feet wide by four inches deep In slip
