Another Roman Lesson.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
When the Romans went to Britain they
took up road building not only as a mill
tary measure, but also as a means of
developing the resources of the country.
The highways they constructed had in
view the transport conditions of Britain,
and the work was done according to a
unified and we'll planned system of in
ternal communication on national lines.
No sooner did the Romans release their
grip on the island than the whole system
Of road building fell into confusion. For
hundreds of years the state left the work
to individual citizens, to philanthropic ef-
fort. TO private enterprise or to local au-
thorities. The result has been," says
Edwin A. Pratt, the historian Of trans
port communication in England, that
not only for successive generations were
both the material progress and the social
advancement of the English people great
ly impeded, but the actual development
of such intercommunication was to show
far too often a lamentable want of intel
ligence and skill In meeting requirements,
and deficiency of system, direction and
coordination as regards the many diff
ferent agencies or authorities concerned
In the results actually secured.
Here in a nutshell Is the whole wisdom
and unwisdom of city planning, SO far
as roads are concerned, and here also Is
the early experience OF the race SO deeply
registered in its history that he who runs
may read, and he who comes late into
Ii may have the wherewithal for guild

natural method as effcacious at the be-
ginning of the Christian era as it is to-
day In devising a uniform plan for the
metropolitan area we are simply revert
ing. IL with improved appliances, to that
rational solution of the road problem
which the Romans brought to perfection
nearly 1900 years ago.

EVER SEE A STOUT POSTMAN? ?
In London Carriers Walk Sixteen
Miles Carrying Forty Pounds.

From London Answers.
Has 1t ever struck you why a stout
postman is such q rarity? The ques-
tion is worth attention.
A postman who in busy London resi-
dental district walks from fourteen to
sixteen miles a day, starts out in the
morning with mails weighing something
like eighty pounds. AS his letters and
packages are distributed the weight of
his bag, of course, grows less. SO that
the average weight he carries during his
trip is forty pounds. A pint of water
weighs pound. A ten-quant pail weighs
about twenty pounds. and the average
weight the postman carries is equal to
two Of these. II you want to know why
postmen are thin, try a fifteen-mile walk
with a ten-quart pail of water in each
hand
The driver of brewery wagon, on the
other hand. is usually fat. The reason
is that he sits on the seat of his dray
most Of the day. and often consumes
large quantities Of liquid. Policemen, too.
often grow fat through standing about
on their beats.

They used to say "Just as the twig Is

They said this in reference to paternal
guidance applied to youth.
Those ancients were a serious lot. SO
they were not flippantly making a veiled
allusion to the bending of the boy twig
over the paternal trees knee while the
aforementioned tree was inclined forward
at certain beneficent work
The originator of this archaic wheeze
meant that as we bend the child the

Inclined" They might even put it. Just
as the twig is inclined. SO must the tree
be bent" That would hit it of well, too.
II the infant twig of this day is seen to
be evidencing daily certain bent. the
parental tree must incline that way and
help the twig reach the thing it is bent
on. The purpose Of the modern parent is
to begin by apologizing to it's offspring
for living, then to say: Since I've
helped get you into this world scrape is
there anything can do to make II right
with you, and to Vake the best OF the
scrape? Command me!''
There used to be a saying that began
Honor thy forget the rest of II.

English chemists estimate that nearly
2.JOO,OOO tons of coal are wasted every year
In the British Isles in the form of SCOT
Various experiments in the city of Leeds
have shown that at least 22) tons of SCOT
are deposited annually over each square
mile Of the city's area. Glass plates ex-
posed in the center of Leeds became
coated with about twenty-four times as
much tarry SCOT as in locality nine
miles away. The black deposit chokes
vegetation by checking Transportation and
assimilation, thins the foliage of trees
and reduces the quantity and quality of
garden products. The solid particles, too,
diminish the sunlight. In 1897 the center
of Leeds had but 1857 hours of sunlight,
as compared with 1,402 hours at Adel,
four miles distant. loss of II per cent.
and the actual intensity of light was re-
duced fully 40 per cent. The greatest
