The New Pheasant.
This game bird, practically new to
West Virginia differs materially from
the native pheasant, or rufled grouse,
found chiefly IN the mountainous see
lons, in that it is a bird of beautiful
plumage. The tail OF the male bird is
very long, often two to three feet, and
the color Of both male and female is
brilliant, showing metallic lustre. In
ali there are about 80 species of the
pheasant family, related closely TO the
partridge. Among their colors are gold
copper, scarlet, green and blue. They
mostly are native of Asia and live in
dense woods. The so-called English
pheasant was naturalized in Great Bri-
tain before the Norman conquest, and
is bred in the. game preserves of Eu-
rope. II has been introduced into the
United tSates some years since. The
copper ph%easauts of Japan and the
r%inged-neck pheasants of China have
found to do wen in this country. The
p%heasants Of China, Tibet, India and
the Malay Archipelago often are gor-
each year. The ringneeked pleas.
ant of aJpan and Tibet Is striking.

A MYSTERIOUS MATERIAL.
What Asphalt Is-Used by the An

From the Scientific American.
Not long since. while walking along one
of the streets of the National Capital l
came to a section which had been torn up
and was being repaved with nice new as

soled shoes scurried about smoothing out
the hot smoking stuff preparatory to the
steam rollers finishing touches. the

1t is. so 1 straightway started a course

sands of people who each day pass across
streets being paved with asphalt. and.

Asphalt was used by the ancients, but
not for street paving. Who first sug-
gested asphalt as paving material is not
definitely known. In the valley of the
Rhone. in Trinidad and in California 1t
had been observed that fragments Of the
bitumen that were jolted from carts were
crushed and compacted into solid rock
bed by the wheels Of the carts that fol-
lowed and the conviction that roadbeds
could be constructed Of the same ma
terial was inevitable. Some time about
1910 attempts were made to pave a street
in Paris with asphalt mixed with quartz,
and upon a bed Of sandstone. but the ex-
pertinent proved failure. due to the
preparation and in the method OF laying

being discouraged. however. the deduction

During Bible times and the pre-Chris-

most altogether as cement, and with
very little alteration from the form in
which nature supplied it. The ancients
used it in the remarkable preservative

ill-timed explosion of a charge Of 1000
pounds of black powder which had been

had gathered to witness the demolition Of
the hill separating Bijon from the coaling
harbor Of Musel. a mile and a half dis
tant. The object Of the operation was
to cut a roadway and thus avoid the
present long detour.

and the explosion occurred. But instead
of the rock being blasted, hundreds OF

ed like artillery projectiles among the
assembled spectators. Whole families
were moved down. Many Of the en-
