In studying the relation of grade
to distance the following calculation
IS interesting: To lift ton one fool
high requires 1000 foot pounds of
energy; on,sa road the surface OF

resistance per ton the same energy
would FOIL thesdon a horizontal dis
tance of twenty feet. To save one
foot OF grade the road may there
fore be heightened twenty feet.
Roads should never be 1ocated so
close to stream beds as TO be subject
to overflow, or on ground which is
constantly damp and marshy.
The earth road should have ae
least six hours of sunshine each day.
This can be- secared either by To-
eating the road WITH southern or

'hrush and trees ss impede the drying

not so necessary, as certain amount

Rasputin now. is re- covering from a dagger wound inflict- ed by woman, said to be fanatica follower of Heliodorus.
 The abbot now comes forward with a defense of the womans deed. In telegraphic dispatches he lauds the intelligence and religious devotion of the assassin and says that her action was prompted by righteous indigna- ton against the conduct of Rasputin
 The woman believed, Heliodorus asserts, that Rasputin merited the treatment Elijah meted out to the false prophets. With another woman, she determined to kill Rasputia last year, but he was warned and escaped.
