NOAH'S JOB AS
CAPTAIN OF ARK
WAS NO C|NCH
OFFICERS OF THE BATTLEsHIP
MINNESOTA, WHO COLLECTED
EIGHT MONKEYS WHILE IN
VERA CRUZ, ATTEST TO THIS
FACT.

Noah's Job as captain of the Ark
was no cinch, according to officers on
board the United States battleship
Minnesota, which recently locked at
the League Island navy yard, after a
rough voyage up the coast from Vera
Cruz, Mexico. During the cruise n
Mexican and West Indian waters, the
junior officers of the battleship col
lected eight monkeys to bring north as
pets. Other pets on the ship were
thirteen cats, whose business it is to
keep the rodent population under
hack" and beautiful bull. dog, Gyp
the Blood.
One night off Cape Hatteras, where
the Minnesota encountered a terrific
gale, the monkeys managed to get
loose, and forthwith led a combined
attack against the cats. With remark
able good generalship, they scooped
down on the felines without being de-
tected, and managed to corner several
before they could offer any combined
resistance. Captain Kid" a large
monkey the property Of an ensign,
with f1endish scream led, the charge
against the cats and, grabbing Jim,
the biggest black tom-cat il the out
fit by the tail, swung him around at

give him good end-off, and flung the

unluclzy animal far over the ships side
to billet In Davy Jones feet.
The noise of the combat brought
a bunch of tars from their hammocks
to the assistance Of the forecastle pets,
and, after a hard struggle the mon
keys were coIlared and chained MP.
Gyp the Blood, the bull dog mascot,
Is said to have sided with HIS older
shipmates, the cats, although, being
a poor sailor, he was too sea sick at
the time Of the battle to do more than
bark his approval OF the cats line
of attack. Naturally the monkeys held
grievance against the dog during
the remainder of the cruise, and waited
for a chance to get even.
When the Minnesota was being
locked at the navy yard, Gyp seated
himself well aft ON the quarterback
in order to "hit the beach" as early
as possible-this longing for shore
liberty came very near proving his
ruin. A monkey, unperceived by any
Of the crew, managed to slip up be-
hind him, and, quickly selling him
by the collar, consigned him to the
proverbial briny deep. Gyp yelped out
the Man overheard" signal, and a
marine sentinel let go the life buoy
to which the bull dog SWAN. william
R. Heise, ships bugler, sprang over
board and SWAN ashore with the dog,
where warm welcome awaited him.
The latest reports state that So
ciety for the prevention Of cruelty TO
animals demands that the monkeys be
protected from the crew by a marine
guard or that they be presented to
the local Zoo. It is thought that the
latter alternative viii be accepted as
even a marine guard can scarcely be
expected to keep the crew away from
the monkeys.

Improving Famous Road.

For two years parts of the old Ma

from Washington and Baltimore to
Wheeling AID the west, have been In
such bad condition through western
Maryland that it's usefulness as a
through automobile route has been
greatly impaired. The originally good
surface has been worn Off for miles,
exposing large stones. of which It's
foundation was principally made In
some cases powders were washed
down by the mountain streams. and
several stretches were injured by the
hauling OF pine timber from the dis.
trict north Of Hancock and Flintstone.
AS result n great deal OF the through
travel east and west has been going
by Bedford. LigOnier Greensburg and

the road to fits old time importance.

Will not contribute financially to the
actual building Of the roads, but will

highways being Constructed at Cost
Of StS,ooo,ooo - How Economy Is
Practieed and the Shortest Possible
Routes Are Followed.
California wants and is going TO have
two trunk roads, north and south, and
Its we'll defined plan presents an object
lesson to other state OF great distances
and emphasizes the fact that the
through road is n modern necessity In
general system.
The California law requires roads to
be built the length of the state along
the most direct and practicable routes,
one along the coast and another trav-
ersing the Sacramento and San Joa-
quin valleys, with lateral roads to such
county seats as may not be OH the main
lines. For constructing these roads
$1S,000,000 was voted two years ago
The automobilists naturally worked for
this legislation, and II is worth noting
that California has more motorcars
than France, I'm excess OF $4,000.
In the eastern and central states not
only are conditions different, but the
topography of the country is less severe
and lends itself more readily TO the
building of roads that will best serve
the interests Of the people. The great
bulk Of travel on the through roads of
the east is not from one terminal to
| the other, but between the important
| cities along the route and between them
ana either terminal. Consequently it is
IN Ia
rs TO reach all the important points
along or near the route, even to the ex-
tent Of sacrificing n part of the direct
ness and adding some mileage.
That the comparatively few people
who travel the whole length OF a road
| should go few additional miles rather
than compel n large number of short
distance travellers TO go additional dis
! tances Is self evident. For every ten
persons who travel across Il state there
are probably ninety who travel from
one point TO another within the state.
so that as a matter OF convenience to
the great majority route across
state should touch all OF the important
cities within reasonable reach.
With the amount OF money provided
the utmost economy must be practiced
and shortest possible routes followed
to comply with the law. TO build
roads that will stand the strain OF
much motor travel the state highway
commission has adopted concrete for
almost the entire system. In building
the road the grade is prepared and
drained so as to leave the subgrade
dry that 1t will not freeze and heave
with frost
1t Is then thoroughly rolled. On this
Is placed four inches of rich concrete,
which is surfaced with n coat of heavy
asphaltic oil and sand about three
eighths of an inch thick This surfac-
Ing, according to the commission costs
cents per square yard and can, IL
necessary, be renewed every year or
two under the head of maintenance.

WANTS CoNWCTS ON ROADS.
New Prison Head Will Seek Thus TO
Employ Nearly Thousand.

Judge John b. Riley. the new super
intendent of prisons In New York state,
announced that he would apply to the
prison commission for power to en-
ploy prisoners upon state highway
construction. Mr.. Riley thinks that
nearly a thousand men could be used
each year to advantage in road con
structiop.
The new superintendent plans to
send out only those prisoners whose
terms are about to expire. This pol
Icy, he thinks, will not only lessen the
number OF escapes. but will build up
the men long confined in cells, so
that when they are finally released
they will be In physical condition and
able immediately to take up manual
labor

tendent and In his annual report It
was strongly urged as q means Of bet

Philippine Islands Scene Of Great AoA
tivity Among Native Females.
You would not think that a womaR
could ever outwork man when It
comes TO heavy road work, but such
is nevertheless the case I'm the Philip
pines.
In the construction OF the Paoay-C
rimao road II is recalled that at one
time there were approximately 900
women and girls employed daily. notes
the Engineering News. These fem
mime workers, receiving from 20 to
% or 80 centavos per day. according to
their strength and ability. are most
efficient when materials for subgrade,
surfacing or gravel and sand for con-
crete are to he carried n short distance.
They tie up their skirts or "pundling"
to be less bAmpercd az they work and
WELD shovcls. load. carry and empty
their baskets with zeal that outcliss-
es the men.
In the construction o. the subgrade on
the Paoay.Currimno road Il was neces-
sary to hnul material about one-half a
kilometer at one point. This was ac-
complished with women workers. Men
loaded the baskets at the borrow pits.
The baskets hold about one-sixtieth
cubic meter aud are carried on the head.
On short haul woman will carry
from meter to meter and a half of
material per day.
AsNmay be imagined. there Is con-
siderable talking done as the work pro-
crosses, especially I'm the afternoon,
when the women begin to tire. Igno-
rance of che dialect may have caused
the listener TO misinterpret, but II Ia
said that the capataces (men) use some
very forcible arguments to convince
the women that they should talk less
and work more
On concrete work women are used
to advantage carrying sand. gravel and
water. They are not strong enough to
mix concrete for any length of time,
so men are employed for that purpose.
