MATERIALS FOR GOOD ROADS
Exact Proportions of Sand and Clay
Cannot Be Given Definitely Be-
cause Of Variations.

The exact proportions OF sand and
clay for making the best sand-clay
road cannot be stated, as the proper
tons vary with the character of the
sand, according to its sharpness, per
centage of foreign material and size
OF grains. Approximately, there is in
a sand-clay road about eighty per
cent sand and twenty per cent. clay.
One simple means of determining the
theoretical amount OF pure clay that
should be added to any sand that Is to
be used in the construction of a sand
clay road is to fill a glass tumbler
brimfull with the sand that Is to be
used and then AL a similar tumbler
with water; pour the water carefully
onto the sand until the water comes
flush with the surface. which will
mean that all the voids between the
grains of sand are now filed with wa
ter. The amount OF water that has
been poured into the tumbler contain
ing the sand will represent the pro
portion of volume Of clay that Is nee
essary to add to that particular sane
to fill all the voids with clay.
Having determined the source o
supply OF the best materials for ma
king q sand-clay road. the next ques
ton is the mixing of the materials
and this varies with the character O
the subsoil, whether this Is a san
upon which clay Is to be added or ella
upon which sand is to be added.
will be found that 1t is much easie
to make a sand-clay road where tn
subsoil Is clay.

The Japanese firefiies are much
larger and give brighter and more
steady light than those seen In Eu
rope or America. In old days many
poor Japanese students. unable to buy
candles. were wont to gather firefiies
in a bag and read their books by their
light The Hotaru-kago (frefiy cage),
made of fine laces. placed on the
veranda or hung among the trees In
the garden, gives almost as bright
light as the large stone lanterns. but
much more quaint and dreamy.
Firefiies are plentiful everywhere in
Japan. They are not at all afraid OF
human beings, and will often alight
upon the dress, and even on the hair
or hands. 1t is not seldom that fire
flies fly into ones pockets or sleeves.
During the daytime flreflies sleep
under the shelter OF grasses near
streams or ponds. In this state they
are terribly ugly. But as soon as the
sun sinks beyond the western hills
and the evening darkness begins to
