GOOD ROAD WORK MORE
THAN DOUBLED IN A YEAR,

This year the commission will work on
1900 miles of good roads, both state
and county. at an approximate cost of
$22,OOO.OOO raj3~a a.r..
The commissioners report that 5,9O7
miles of country roads and 1,340 miles
of state roads will have to be laid in
order to complete the original system

a new $5O.OOO,OOO bond will be required.

cornerstone was laid with ceremony In
Hamilton square. which covered the
blocks now contained between Th1ro

Sixty-ninth streets. This was before
Central park had been outlined. Ham
ilton square was a portion Of the old
common lands of the city. 1t Is not
known what became of the Washing
ton monument cornerstone. The mon
ument association gradually ceased TO
exist. The $1.OOOOOO monument was
forgotten. and when the ground once
known as Hamilton square was cut up
and the streets run through no record
remains as to what was done with the
cornerstone and its leaden box filled
with memorials of the city in 1S47.-

Why a Cats Eyes Glow in the Dark.

why cars eyes 1ioW IN rhS LARK.
The eyes Of a cat shine In the dark
not because they produce light. for
they do not. but because they reflect
all the light that may reach them. II
the cat be in totally dark room you
cannot see it's eyes. 1t is only when
there is at least glimmer of light
that these glow. The animal must be
looking almost directly at you. What
ever light there be must come from
about behind or above you. The cats
eye is a powerful lens with reflector
behind it. This gathers the rays and
concentrates them in horizontal
beam. 1t is possible that these shin
ing eyes exercise sort of hypnotic
fascination for mice and rats It may
also be that the ray they cast. slender
and faint though it be. serves to light
up their prey sufficiently for their
keen eyes to see it.-New York World.
