How Napoleon Appeared.
From the London Chronicle.


vivid sketch of Napoleon in Elba
was drawn by Lord John Russell. ma
poleOn was dressed in a green coat,
with hat in his hand very much as he
is painted; but. excepting the re-
semblance of dress. / had a very mis-
taken idea of him from HIS portrait.
He appears very short, which is partly
owing to his being very fat, his hands
and legs being quite swollen and I'M
wieldy. This makes him appear awk-
ward. and not unlike the whOle-length
figure of GibbOn. the historian. Be-
side this. instead of the bold-marked
ccuntenance that ! expected he has fat
cheeks and a rather turn-up nose,
which. to bring I'm another historian,
makes the shape of his face resemble
the portraits of Hume. He has a
dusky gray eye. which would be called
vicious in horse, and the shape of
his mouth expresses contempt and de-
cision.'

While the value and necessity of first
class county and township roads is
generally recognized it is the result of
costly experience in various states that
there must be "a development of trunk
line highways in the establishment of
comprehensive state road systems. This
question is involved vitality in the pres
ent New York state situation OF the
SO, 600 miles of road in the state, 1000
have been improved as state or county
highways, 1000 macadamiZed as town
roads. 10000 miles improved by towns
as gravel roads, and some 10000 miles
have been shaped to some extent with
approximately $4,000 miles remaining in
their original condition. 1t was in the
general election of 1905 that the con-
stitutional amendment authorizing the
issuance of bonds to the extent of
$50. 100000 was voted upon favorably,
the necessary legal enactments being
adopted by the legislature that fol-
lowed.
1t was at this time, coincident to the
development of the automobile-Of which
there are now more than 1000 in New
York state-that there came a strong
demand for through routes to serve as
the nucleus of a system of main
arteries of communication. These state
highways now comprise approximately
$500 miles, connecting principal centers
of population. and forming a skeleton
system of which the county and town
highways are tributary. This building
of trunk lines has grown apace because
it was learned that under the original
plan Of construction a disjointed and
moderated system resulted.
Many Miles of State Roads.
Following the lead of Massachusetts
and it's subsequent adoption by New
York, New Jersey is now providing for
la state system which embraces its
through roads. State Road Commits
sioner Stevens has proceeded with the
work, until now some 500 miles of road
have been selected to be known here
after as state roads, and to be taken
care Of by the state itself. Opinion is
general that this form of procedure will
ultimately be adopted in every state in
the Union. There is also a pronounced
sentiment for an interstate system of
rational roads when the federal gov
eminent itself enters energetically into
the highways situation, which is as
Stunning such countrywide import that
any further delay in giving it atten-
ton will not be accepted without protest
on the part Of both the man who lives
in the country and the man who travels
afar these days owing to improved
roads.

Hudson Skaters Records.
Rejecting the extraordinary local
popularity of the new Hudson 49," R
a. klOck, the Hudson dealer, today
learned that records for cars created
by Howard e. Coffin have been shattered
by the latest model-the "37"-which
was designed under his direction by
forty eight engineers.
Up to the present time throughout
the United States more than double
the retail orders have been placed for
1913 Hudson cars than were placed for
1912 cars this time last year. In some
cities of the United States the demand
has trebled and quadrupled. The fac
tories, which are being doubled in size
this fall. are working twenty-four
hours a day in the endeavor to meet
the demand, and at the same time de-
vote no less time to the building of
each individual car.

Dows, Smith, Reed and Cook, OF
Cedar Rapids, thru their local attor-
ney, Monday afternoon, made formal
application to the board OF supervisors
for right of-way along highways OF
the county for poles carrying an cleo
trio light and power line. The board
set l o'clock Of Aug. % as the time for
the hearing on the application, which
will undoubtedly be granted.
The Cedar Rapids grantees Of the To-
cal franchises for gas, electric light
and power and street railway, made
applica ton for only an east and west
right OF way for their poles. If rights
of-way are wanted by the Cedar Rap
ids men to reach towns north or south
of here, it is probable that additional
applications will be made for that pur-
pose.
The proposed line, which the ap-
plication is for, starts at the Story
Marshall county line, on the highway
between sections s and Z, due west Of
State Center. The line follows the
highway that forms part Of the north
corporate limits Of, State Center, then
passes east along the highway south
of Lamoille, and enters this city over
the Varnum hill road The line leaves
the city on East Nevada street, and
follows the road that parallels the
Northwestern to and thru Quarry and
east to LeGrand The east town limit
Of LeGrand is the Tama Marshall
county line From there the lines goes
east thru Montour and to Tama
Rights of-way will also be asked for
thru Tama and Story counties.
